[b][right]JEDI TEMPLE // AHCH-TO[/right][/b]

Koren climbed the steps towards the temple, the weather was nice today. It was cool but sunny. Summer was just around the corner, and they had reached that time of year that by midday it would be nice and warm, without being too warm, while in the sun. As it was he focused on his breathing to warm himself in the chill morning air. The smell of the sea, the feel of the spray on him. It was far more like being home to him than being in Coronet City was. He didn't like the hustle and the bustle of the city. Things here were simple. He leant down and gave a Porg a small pet on the head as he climbed the stairs. Smiling at a couple of younglings as they descended the stairs giggling. 

Likely sneaking off for a look at the Starships, he remembered similar excursions with his creche mates when he had been young. Koren had read the texts on what the Jedi Temple had been like on Coruscant back before the Purge, and honestly, he couldn't imagine it. They were the same order and held to the same ideals yet in many ways they were so different. While with member states of the Galactic Alliance settled more into stability, reforging long lost links between worlds devastated by the Empire, resulted in more people being submitted to the Jedi at a younger age for testing many of the Padawans in the temple were still in their twenties having joined the Jedi Order much later in life.

It made sense, in order to protect the people of the Galaxy the Jedi had to be part of the Galaxy. They couldn't become detached from reality, that was what lead to the destruction of the Old Jedi Order after all. Or so everyone's best guess led them to believe. Not even Master Nyx could truly say one way or the other, and she was their resident historian.

As he climbed to the top of the stairs he smiled as the round building came into view, perched atop a hill on the site of an old Jedi Temple, surrounded by smaller dwellings and living spaces. Koren could faintly see the caretakers walking amongst the buildings. Apparently, Master Skywalker had struggled at first to convince them to allow a new temple to be constructed here. To this day nobody but he knew how they had finally been convinced. Koren had always told himself he'd ask if he ever managed to get someone on one time with Master Skywalker, though the chances of that happening were slim to none. 

That said today was a possible day for firsts. Since he left the temple years ago, Koren had only ever come back to study or rest between missions. Usually given assignment over the Holonet and yet suddenly, he was being called back? Whatever this was. It was important.
