**She spoke to the droid while staring at the beautiful flowers DT had left for her.

"When can I leave here?"

"You can leave here now, if you'd like. You'll still be sore from the injuries, but as long as you rest in your bed for a few more days.. everything will be fine."

**She nodded once before slowly swinging her legs over the edge of the bed. Wincing from the pain slightly, she rose and stretched her muscles. Beldarine pulled on a clean Jedi robe and breaches while thinking to herself. She glanced out the window, towards the midday sun that shone through the glass. Now a Jedi Knight. Something she had dreamt about since childhood. Walking slowly over to the bed, Bel sat down and gingerly took the note from the blossoms, placing it in her lap.

**There was much she still needed to learn, but Bel felt stronger than ever. It was like a dam had burst inside of her, freeing herself from any constraints regarding the Force. It was amazing, the feeling she felt inside her was almost overwhelming. Rising from the bed, Beldarine took the flowers in one hand, and grabbed her lightsaber with the other. She walked slowly out the door.

**In a sense, it was like Beldarine Del'Anar died and lived again that day. Before a padawan, now a Knight. Before an insecure woman, now a confidant one. Before she had been imperfect with the Force, now she was a Jedi for whom the Force was a lifelong companion. Beldarine left her old persona back in the medical center that day. Striding out the door, she knew it was a dawning of a whole new life. One more filled with responsibility, but yet, more filled with the rewards of the Force. DT's words rang through her head. She would never let anyone down, or her life forfeit in her blue eyes. Bel's eyes stayed locked on something far in the distance as she walked through the halls, something only she could see... her destiny.
