A brilliant fire


Outfit: Combat Jumpsuit
Weapons: Lightsabers
The morning sun bathed the peaks of Tython and the courtyard of the Jedi Temple in soft gold. The world was calm this early in the day, broken only by the faint rustle of wind through the trees and the hum of ships in the distance. Valery stood near the main steps of the Temple, her posture relaxed and calm. Clad in her usual dark jumpsuit, she watched the sky with patience, sensing the approach of someone new. She had read the transmission only hours before: Kell Masaara, a new Padawan, was scheduled to arrive.
Not every Jedi greeted new students in person, but Valery made time when she could. Especially for those just beginning their path. The Temple could be overwhelming at first. Its ancient halls held history, discipline, and weight. A friendly face at the gates sometimes helped ease the transition.
As a small transport came into view, its silhouette cutting across the light of the sun, Valery stepped forward. She could already feel the presence inside. Unrefined, uncertain perhaps, but there was strength in it. Potential waiting to be shaped by years of Jedi training.
She waited at the base of the platform, arms at her sides and expression open, ready to welcome the newest addition to the Order.
