Plot[]

16 years earlier, Osha and Mae live with an all-female coven of witches on Brendok. The coven's leader, Mother Aniseya, created the twins without a father and they were carried by another witch, Mother Koril. Aniseya teaches the children that the Force, which she calls the Thread, is misused by the Jedi. They undergo a ceremony to be inducted into the coven, which Mae is excited for but Osha is not. Before Osha is inducted, the ceremony is interrupted by a group of Jedi: Indara, Kelnacca, Torbin, and Sol. They express concern that the witches are training children and claim the right to test the twins for their suitability to become Jedi. Aniseya asks the children to purposefully fail the test. Mae does, but Osha chooses to pass the test and tells Aniseya that she wishes to become a Jedi. Angry that her sister wants to leave her, Mae starts a fire. Sol helps Osha get to safety, but they see Mae seemingly die and find the rest of the coven dead as well. The Jedi take Osha to Coruscant and Sol promises to train her as his Padawan. On Brendok, Mae is shown to have survived and is looking for her sister.
