Private An Elegant Weapon

The ship touched down on the lush, jungle-covered world of Selvaris. As the ramp lowered and the scent of damp earth met her senses, Pari's thoughts drifted to Tython. The terrain was strikingly similar, verdant, ancient, alive. A pang of sorrow tugged at her chest. Tython, once a cradle of Jedi knowledge, was now under Imperial control. She had never gotten the chance to walk its sacred paths or study in the halls of the New Jedi Order's former headquarters. That opportunity may be lost to her now.

The turmoil in the Core had made her training as a Jedi far more complicated. Still, she was grateful to be studying at all. Just days ago, she'd been a prisoner. Now she stood on a world known, at least for the moment, as a haven for Jedi. She didn't take that for granted.

Pari stepped off the ramp, following the others onto solid ground. Around her, people dispersed quickly, some to greet others, some to deliver messages, some to vanish into the jungle with quiet purpose.

But she hesitated.

She didn't know where she belonged yet. She wasn't even officially a Padawan. Still, she held onto hope that here, on Selvaris, she could continue her training. That she could grow stronger, more skilled, and stay true to the Jedi path in a galaxy that seemed determined to erase it.

Since Coruscant, it seemed that everyday another ship landed on Selvaris bringing with it another Jedi to the Hidden Enclave. "It will be difficult to stay hidden at this rate." Ran whispered to herself, watching the starship land, and its ramp lower. As the passengers deboarded, she wondered who the newest addition would be. What poor soul had found themselves on the beautiful and brutal, jungle and forested planet of Selvaris? Ran decided she would wait and see.

As she watched, Ran saw that almost all of the Jedi who stepped off of the ramp knew exactly where they were going, who they were meeting, and what they would be doing. Almost all save for one.

"Hello, young one." Ran said to the girl as the sun shined down on them through a gap in the tree canopy above. "I am Ran Serys Jedi Knight. What brings you to Selvaris?" The Knight continued as she approached. She took the girls' appearance in and noted the mark of illumination. Ran had spent some time on Chalacta but never had the chance to study with the Adepts. She smiled a curious and friendly smile at the young Adept and Jedi-to-be.

“Hello Knight Serys.” Pari was thankful that someone had approached her, otherwise she could have been wandering all day. She smiled at the knight, taking in the sunshine and the smells of the jungle. It was hard to believe that a war was brewing in the core when this world seemed so peaceful.

“My name is Pari Sylune. I am not officially a Jedi yet, but I am studying to build a lightsaber… or at least I was. The Empire sort of got in the way of that plan.”
