​

Soft chimes swayed peacefully in the gentle breeze coming from an open window, singing their sweet melodies to the Jedi in the room. Each one was deep inside their own mind, connecting themselves fully with the Force, seeking answers to their riddles or attempting to blot out any stresses in their life.

In the centre of this tranquil ensemble was the Padawan, Eirin. The green Jedi was balanced upon a rather thin pole, only the twitching of his vulpine ears betraying him as a living creature and not a detailed statue. Stones and lit candles danced around the entranced creature like moons orbiting a planet.

The Padawan had perfected the art of shutting down his conscious thoughts on his homeworld, allowing himself to be fully immersed in the will of the Force. He had hoped that a few more would have arrived but it made little difference to the alien; this was a time for solitude and peace not idle chit-chat.

The large padawan was moving quietly... or as quietly as she could with the clopping of hooves on the stone floors of the temple. Still she went for the more muffled approach. SHe focused looking down and had her glaive secured on her waist. Looking down so that they would be able to see. Her eyes flicking around the room when she came in to see what was happening. "Hello." The padawan stood there as her tail swished back and forth swatting lightly at her backside and to give her a place she would be able to focus being around the temple.

As the other Padawan entered the room, the objects surrounding Eirin slowly descended to the ground. After a few moments, the alien's grey eyes opened and he nimbly leaped to the floor. "Hello Padawan." greeted the small Jedi, slightly taken aback by the equine like creature which had trotted into the room. He disguised it well. "A drink, perhaps?" Eirin then queried, motioning his triphalangeal hand toward a tray with a steaming hot, silver kettle placed upon it. Inside was a special liquid, brewed to enhance the connection of a Jedi to the Force. How it worked, Eirin did not know; he just liked the taste.

Shoeless feet hopped quickly around the candles and rocks that had landed beside where he was meditating like he was dancing on hot coals, zipping in and out of the other light siders meditating to the soft sounds the trinket hanging on the ceiling were producing. Eventually, Eirin reached the tray and poured out a small portion for the Chironian Padawan. Then, he handed it to her using the Force. "Escaping problems, you are?"

As she stepped into the area she noted those here but felt almost...alien here. Her battered armor still bore the scars of her latest confclits. it was practically ragged and her green robes no less tattered. She'd refused for now to find a new set as she looked to those here. She wanted to say hello but her face showed hestiation as if unsure what to say, she'd been away from the jedi for...seemingly forever. So used to darksiders being around her now it felt odd to be here. As if however letting stress leave her she collapsed to her knees and breathed out the saber clunched in her hand finally allowed to relax and lay on the ground. Around her the force swirled as if it had been up all the time until now. her arrival here a repiste. meditation company it seemed like a dream something she couldint touch even if it stood before her. Finally she spoke. "Good day everyone." Her voice exhausted from her time travels and trails.

She looked at the smaller padawan with a nod of her head. "Thank you." moving forward to get the drink and looked as another came into the room to join them. A human which wasn't odd but she seemed to have been through a great deal which drew the larger padawans interest. Her usual methods of roaming in the temples and training while working with the others. She would be abel to work on more of the things that they have been working on. Like crystal harvesting or development of new more protective robes. "Somewhat thank you." She said it before hearing the huan and nodding. "Welcome."

 

[Eirin]

A small bow was offered to [member="Zhenhua"], a sign of respect and thanks in his culture; lightyears upon lightyears across the galaxy. An even smaller cup had soon been filled to the brim with the sweet scented liquid, relaxing the Padawan before it even passed his lips. The sweet exilr ran down Eirin's throat as he drained it in a single gulp. It had a peculiar taste, almost like honey but not quite that sweet. Pleasant never the less. "Take a seat, friend."

Just as the words escaped him, a youngster entered the room. Eirin's plain, silver optics took in her ravaged battle armour and tattered robes, causing a pang of sympathy to erupt deep inside his chest. He could also detect something darker from within the Corellian, but alas, unrefined senses forbade him from delving deeper. Swiftly snapping back from his momentarily distracting train of thought, Eirin spoke to help relieve some of the tension radiating from [member="Catherine Soja"]. "Take off your armour. Attack you here, nobody will. Tea?"

Stop offering tea. Start, we must.

She looked over. "No thank you." She said and indeed went to undo her armor however as she took ahold of one peice it did not so much unfasten as break off. Peices crumbling from the damage it had sustained. Slowly it did come off but it was worse than she thought. With it now near her she settled to try and focus, to clam down. Her mind still rushing from the battles and travels. Parts of the armor did however show they had seen their last battle. The forcel ighting had simply undermine everything left it had. The layers of plasteel and high end ceramtics had been withered to nothing but a lattice work of damaged material. As she closed her eyes she tried to calm herself, to relax and not focus on the remainign soreless on her bandaged side and stitched up back. Both obvious saber wounds. Instead she focused on breathing on being calm and nothing else.

She was looking at the small one and he was very respectful that he could look over at the other. She bowed her head as a sign to him before turning to look at her. This new one in the armor seemed a lot more wound up which if they were looking for a fight she could do that but it was not exactly the first thing she wanted to do. It was a last resort and something that she might be abel to help them with before she looked over a few of the parts of armor. "It looks like you have gone through some battles. it is better to decompress and quiet your mind."

 

[Eirin]

With a slight nod of recognition, Eirin placed down the cup and saucer he had prepared for Catherine, unfortunately without any of the tea inside; for it would have been an excuse for the Yodaling to savour the taste of the concoction once again. Rather swiftly, Eirin waddled back to his original spot in the centre of the room. The orchestra of charms and trinkets hanging from the ceiling was once again audible now the brief conversation had died down between the three Padawans.

"Allow the Force to surround you, allow your thoughts to drift away until, no more, are they. Your breathing concentrate on, and succeed you shall."

Choosing this time not to perch himself upon a stick, Eirin folded his legs together and rested his palms gently upon his thighs. The Padawan's eyelids closed slowly, and the assortment of rocks and candles which were still around him floated into the air once more.

A few moments later, Eirin was strolling slowly through a field with the others in the room. The area was bright and full of peace and serenity, as if evil or fear had never tainted the pure souls which tread here. Eirin atleast had managed to rid himself of any conscious thoughts or worries, allowing his faith in the Force to slowly fill the void they had created.

She nodded and began to try to focus. Her midn drifting some first clamly into her own mind. But Catherine had yet to face something within herself. Her own doubts lingered ever slightly. An ember that as yet needed to be faced. She took herself back home to Corellia as she remembered it. Smiling she felt as ease for now. People wnet aobut life as droids worked and ships flew by. But this memory was perhaps however pleasent to desire not her wisest one. Soon the skies blue and perfect darkened. A laugh echoed through the entire planet as suddenly the gaisers of force energy pished up and began to destroy the langscape, her memory of the echo in the force of it's destruction giving her the images once more. The image changed as she saqw the sith on the planet that had ruled swept aside with all others. Ships in dock shattered like glass. She tried hard to focus to push the memory out but it forced her to look upon the image. In her midn she asked why? Why did this iamge remain? Maybe she had something still to face in that memoy? as she worked to keep her calm amid the images she reminded herself it was a memory. Events long past and the thing that did it was no more. it could only harm the past not the preaant. It ocudl not do aything now but be a spectre of past evils. She didint try now to fight the memory she instead let the force wrap aorund her like a cloak. The turmoil claming and being diverted liek a breaker agaisnt a tide.

The laughter faded as if dishartened by the padawans unwillingness to break down in fear. It could not conqure her so logn as she knew it was only a memory however painful. The anger, hate, fear it all washed over her mind and flowed away. She whispered then to herself unknowingly. "So long as I have the force with me. You are jsut a bad dream left in my mind."

Zhen was looking at the two of them and kneeling down wasn't exactly easy for her. She moved getting into a position that was comfortable for her to be able to meditate and she was still high up in the air looking down at them as she listened with a nod of her head. Inhaling sharply for a moment before she let it out with her body relaxing. The sound of her tail moving on the floor was hypnotic to herself so that she would be going deeper and deeper into the meditation. It allowed her to focus on what was happening on her world and how the jedi had found her. They were not unknown but they were also not a group who came around that often.
