[center][h1][color=LightSteelBlue]Chief Librarian Airus Vel Aath[/color][/h1] [color=LightSteelBlue][h3] Airus Vel Aath[/h3][/color] [color=LightSteelBlue]Interacting with:[/color] Talia Je'and[@Zarkun][/center] [hr][hr] [b][u]Mandalore, Jedi Temple[/u][/b] [color=LightSteelBlue]"Revan... A subject of so much debate within the Sith and Jedi."[/color] Airus sighed folding his hands into the sleeves of his robes as he focused on Talia. [color=LightSteelBlue]"While I do agree with the standing theory of Sith mind Domination, I believe Revan was not unaware of what he was doing. In truth he was shaped by his time with the Emperor of the Sith at the time. I believe Revan was dominated but upon his return to Republic Space changed his plan."[/color] Airus explained his pet sitting on his shoulder diligently watch Talia as if also lecturing her. [color=LightSteelBlue]"Revan did no plan to bring the Republic and Jedi to heel for his own gain. He viewed the situation as a General, not a Jedi he looked at weak and broken Republic from the Mandalorian War and realized the only way it could beat the Sith Empire would be to start preparing for war now."[/color] Airus explained in his usual tone he delivered his explanation and thoughts to classes of younglings and Padawans who wished to learn about history. [color=LightSteelBlue]"Revan was nothing if not a great tactician and leader of men. He would have quickly understood the only way to protect the people of the galaxy would be a strong authority forcing them to martial for the coming invasion. His Empire while brutal was fairly just by comparison to other past Empire's formed under Sith, most likely due to Revan's belief that he might one day after defeating his enemy restore the Republic."[/color] Spoke the Chief Librarian as his cat gave a meow at the twins looking between them. [color=LightSteelBlue]"In truth, I believe Revan may have not been the Dark Lord we think of him as today but a far more tolerant and open minded Sith or a simply a Jedi who no longer could understand that the deaths he would amass to protect the people would outweigh the number he could save."[/color] Airus shook his head a moment then turned as Ve'vut Ca licked his cheek then hopped down heading for Talia's lap. [color=LightSteelBlue]"Either way I look at it, Revan was no hero and the Jedi's belief that joining the Mandalorian war would spell ruin for the Jedi, came true."[/color] Airus paused thinking it through a moment, before shrugging. [color=LightSteelBlue]"If you two are not busy, I'm actually planning a short trip off world for some research into the Force and Dathomir. You could accompany me if you like, though I will say the native flora and fauna can be... Dangerous."[/color] Airus chuckled, deciding not to mention the other part of last encounter he'd land far away to prevent that from occur again.

Much like we all choose to join now, no one is forced."[/color] She explained putting away her saber, slowly walking away. [color=MediumOrchid]"Come on, we can grab a speeder and make the trip back to the temple... You can all go your respective places and I can go get back to saber building."[/color] She muttered as she headed out of the alley heading towards a nearby automatic speeder cab. [color=MediumOrchid]"Alright, all of you pile in. Kid you sit up front with me."[/color] [i]I don't want to inflict your company on these other two.[/i] She thought waiting on them all to get in then keyed in the Jedi expenses account... Namely the one for the Chief Librarian, she hummed and sat up straight taking manual control to fly them along once they were all on board. Varina would just be happy to get back and dump the problem children onto Airus or Solace or even Sena if she could... She disliked most people and having three people she had to responsible for, well she had to wonder if this was somehow one of those pranks that were so perfectly pulled on the Jedi of the temple. They would arrive shortly however for the moment it would afford them all time to talk about the trip or ask questions to the Jedi as she flew the speeder along.
