Fear That Gives Men Wings

Silver Rest, The Gardens Part II​

​

The young Jedi Knight had split ways with his newly adopted Padawan Zavii to find his shoes in the garden. He had left them there fifteen minutes earlier before meeting with Grandmaster Valae as they made his feet feel sore, specially after suffering a small cut one one of his soles which had to be patched up two times in less than ten minutes. The feeling of the grass touching his bare feet was relaxing and feeling that connection with nature was something he missed. Always stepping on concrete, always trying to rush somewhere.

No need to rush here. Enjoy every moment. You're fine.

But once the night dawned upon on him, sleeping became the hardest task. A decade of nightmares and waking up in the middle of the dark with a cold sweat was not good at all. Flashbacks where he was taken back to the battlefield, every single scene being the one where his fellow men and brothers-in-arms died over and over without stopping.

If it wasn't for me, they'd be alive. It's my fault.

He found peace in the gardens of the Silver Rest, even if that's just for a brief moment.

You're gulity...

Out in the gardens in the back of the temple, Jyoti sat by herself under a tree enjoying lunch. It was a beautiful day, clear skies and light breezes. In the Force, the whole area radiated with positive energies from so many Jedi congregating in one spot. It could have a calming effect on those who accepted the influence. She certainly did.

As she ate her noodles, she liked to look around the gardens. She spied Jedi training or studying, tending to the gardens, or just relaxing like she. However, she was drawn to the sight of a cyborg as he made his appearance in the gardens, his distinct gunmetal prosthetics making him stand out. From an earlier exchange over holo-call, she recognized the man as Ar'ekk Daesharacor. One Jedi who had returned to the fold after the Silver Order had reached out to him and other ex-members for support.

"Hello!" she called out, waving at him from a distance. She had been looking to set aside some time to check up on the errant Knight and review his progress reintegrating into the Silver Order. While she didn't know the full details surrounding his initial departure from the order, she did at least know he had some problems. Hopefully, the Silver Order could help him finally work through them.

With nothing to do for the rest of the day during her downtime between assignments, she was open for some socializing if he had the time.

Ar'ekk had laid eyes on this young woman sitting under a tree, enjoying a peaceful meal with the shadows protecting her from the rays of the sun that hit Kashyyyk hard with the heat. The sound of the insects chirping in the distance and people enjoying an afternoon out in the gardens made everything feel so surreal and happy. He was at peace in one way or the other, nothing to worry about for now.

Being beckoned from afar, the half masked Jedi walked over with a brief grin on his face and holding his shoes on one side. Limping because of obvious reasons but not struggling to walk, Ar'ekk allowed the grass ease the pain on his bare feet. Waving back once he reached her, the young man sat down next to her.

"Greetings, Master Jedi."
