The Last Song
The mid-Autumn warmth found deep within the forests of Voss' surface could offer a sublime sense of peace, in a place where the heart of the Jedi Order could be found and a strong energy of the light side of the Force was to be felt in all of its facets. Beyond that, the deep mystic history of the ancient ancestral natives of the planet could felt in every breeze of the wind, heard in every cry of the smallest of creatures, and felt with every strike of a heartbeat. It was within the centre of this forestland, then, Auron Song sought to find peace.
Since the events of Korriban some weeks earlier, there had been little rest within the young Jedi apprentice's heart, and only having half a story it was difficult to find any sense of elucidation and calm amongst the storm of rumour and political drama that had begun to follow. Auron sought only to retain his sanity, and come to terms with what had happened in his own way. The battle changed him, and he felt he now bore a heavy scar upon himself. Between the walking dead and a sky filled with fire and the sudden death of thousands, the boy felt lost. He communed through the Force with the creatures around him, but even they could not bring him calm, for they could surely feel something was not in its right place and returned his calls with silence.
Why must I be tested so? Am I failing the Jedi Order? Am I failing father? I wish he were here...
Alone, he strolled directionless, feeling the pressures of those around him. His sister looked up to him. His mother expected him to fill his father's shoes, as did the extended Song family. As for the Jedi, he wished to excel under, but equally yearned for their guidance in clearing the storm around his heart. He sat in silence upon a fallen tree and gloomily examined his lightsaber in his hand, rolling it around his palm and inspecting any damages that may need fixing at a later date. It had survived remarkably well through Korriban, but he had no desire to use it for a long time. Placing it back on his belt, he stared out through the Autumn treescape; a solemn gold shone through bronze leaves, and the mystic breath of Voss' gentle woodland breeze could be felt warm upon skin.
