Sera's question had been asked many times of Connor by many different people, but the answer could change daily depending on his mood, mindset or current situation. He guided the Twi'lek onto a wooden bride, more a walkway, that was built over a section of the stream and walked over a section of it. A couple of late afternoon fishermen were out under the walkway trying to catch a prize.
”I am originally from Anaxes, and I was with the Republic Jedi Order from a young age until my late teens. I unfortunately didn't quite listen to what I was being told, and it ended up one day with me falling from a mountain side on Rhen Var, losing my connection to the Force - or so it felt - and leaving because I thought that was it.”
As they walked, he told her about the hidden amulet of Ulic Qel-Droma that he had unintentionally come across as a Republic Jedi and made contact with on the mountain; his touch syphoned the Force power within the amulet but it was so powerful, it literally shut Connor's body and Force ability down, nearly killing him.
Walking to match Sera’s speed, Connor too called a few loose wet pebbles from the stream bed to toy with. The plopped out of the water and dripped over his hand as the two Masters played with their gift for something that was as easy as breathing.
”I didn't know what to do with myself and skirted between trying to be someone good, or resort to crime just to make a name for myself. Luckily, I stuck with the former and found myself surrounded with others who needed direction and the name Iella E'ron and the Silver Jedi came to me, so I pursued it. I ended up making contact with her, the former Grandmaster, and meeting the Order here on Voss as they were establishing the Temple. I devoted my time to help them and soon became one of them, and I've been here well over a decade now.”
Connor stopped and leaned on the wooden walkway, facing the Temple in the far distance.
”The Silver Sanctum, or Silver Jedi before the merger, works to the same goals as the Republic. I guess...I don't know, I think that we tend to do things a little different, or so I thought, in the way that we aren't afraid to get our hands a little dirtier; doing the jobs the pristine Republic's code won't allow them.”
He tapped his fingers in thought.
”Add to the fact we are established more outside Republic space covering an area they aren't really familiar with, it's like we've got this side of the galaxy under our watch. But, at the end of the day, we are all after the wrong thing, but I feel certain methods and actions are more tolerated in the Silvers than they would be elsewhere. I know a lot of people here found themselves to be failures or hurting in someway; this place gave them purpose and a reason to use their failings and hurt for good, to empower them and let them make a difference.”
He turned to Sera with a little shrug.
”I could be wrong, but that's what I feel about them.”
