“Don’t draw it in anger,” she said, lowering the blade. “And I’m pretty angry now …” She deactivated the lightsaber. The reflection did likewise. She laughed at it. “You don’t look so dangerous now,” she said. “Maybe we should have gone on and attacked our enemy after all… A dangerous-looking enemy?” she mused. The water was up to her chest. “Am I supposed to fight my reflection?” she asked herself. “How?” She reached out to the mirror; the mirror hand reached gently back. They touched; Vici’s hand passed through the mirror as through the surface of the water. Not stopping to think, Vici pushed through the wall.

“Congratulations, Vici,” said Mistress Tannis, sitting in the small room Vici had entered. “You have passed your test.”

She blinked, confused. “But I haven’t fought anything.”

“Haven’t you?” said Tannis. “Think back — what have you faced in the cave?”

Vici thought. “Well, I missed a door — I was impatient …”

Tannis nodded. “Impatience can be a deadly enemy to a Jedi.”

“And I was tired, and hungry, but everything in the room I found decayed and vanished — like all matter,” Vici added in realization.

“So in that room I fought physical limits …”

Tannis nodded.

“And the wind — I fought fear, and the tight tunnel was doubt, and the corusca gem, that was greed. And the mirrors were, were …” She paused. “I kept trying to follow things that seemed important, but they led me nowhere. When I let the Force guide me, instead of trying to find the way myself. I moved on.”

“And the last room?”

She thought. “Fear and impatience, again — and anger. I fought myself. Am I my own worst enemy?”

Tannis smiled gently. “Nothing outside of us may separate us from the Force …”

“Only our own emotions,” said Vici as understanding filled her mind.

“And if we remain open to the Force,” said Tannis.

“Then we are Jedi, and nothing can hurt us. We have nothing to fear,” said Vici.
