A heavy sigh fell from Darius' lips.
The fires of Eol Sha's lava pits certainly weren't helping with his mood. The Jedi Knight had discarded his coat in favor of a sleeveless tunic in order to cope with the heat, but it wasn't doing much to help in all honesty. Sweat dripped from the knight errant's brow as he marched through the wastes outside the ruined castle. The lands on either side of the ruin were filled with nothing save for the occasional hut or blown out building. The colonies of Eol Sha had been more or less forgotten, being left to degrade in the intense heat of the world after its colonies were depopulated.
Other colonies had sprung up after the fall of the Galactic Empire, but they resided on the far eastern side of the world. The flight to the nearest town was at least an hour out, and the castle itself suited the fledgling remnants of the order particularly well because of this. No one was going to be bothering their initiates. Few would even know of the structure's existence in the first place.
Cursing the planet's heat, Darius marched his way back toward the hanger that had been prefabricated on Ession before being placed on the planet's surface. His exercises done for the day, the knight errant stumbled into one of the two hangers that housed the order's vessels. They were large enough to host a small number of ships, mostly personal vessels, and they were air conditioned.
The Jedi Knight collapsed into one of the chairs that hung from the hanger walls just as a vessel cleared the hanger's heat shield. Within came a student, one of many that would hopefully arrive in due time. Darius drew in a deep breath, did his very best to gain control of himself, and rose to his feet. The shuttle would only be carrying one, but one was enough.
