Tython was quiet, but never still. The wind moved through the hills like it had somewhere to be, catching the edges of Emery’s cloak as he stepped down from one of the old temple paths. Stones lined the trail, half-covered in dust and moss, worn smooth by time and the feet of countless others who had walked this way before.

He hadn’t come with a real objective in mind, only orders and a meeting point. With who? Emery didn't really know. Nevertheless, he closed his eyes, trying to feel the Force to be taken to another realm inside himself. It was becoming a habit, letting the Force tug at him like a thread on a sleeve and following it wherever it led. Today, it had led him nowhere. Emery opened his eyes again and took on the scenery, looking at the ground, the sparse trees, and, a wide clearing edged in the walls of something older than the Order he’d grown up with.

The silence here wasn’t empty. It had a rhythm to it, Emery liked it that way.

He adjusted his grip on the satchel at his side, feeling the faint outline of his lightsaber beneath the fabric of his jacket. Civilian clothes beneath his robe, practical and unremarkable, save for that one detail.

After 15 years Jax arrived at an NJO stationed planet, of course it wasn't any planet but Tython: The birthplace of the Jedi Order. Even before he set foot on Tython, Jax could feel the planet imbued by the Force fueling the rhythm of life. A smile formed on Jax's lips a mixture of nostalgia mixed with bittersweetness. The NJO has done a great job of sheparding Tython making sure that it would never fall to the dark again as it did during the Second Great Hyperspace War. Jax had not so fond memories fighting to save the planet from the clutches of the Brotherhood of Maw. They poured everything they had on Tython, but Galactic Alliance and their allies beat them back.

Now Jax returned, older, and more war weary than he cared to admit. He didn't know what compelled him to return, maybe the longing to reforge old bonds with his friends. Jax remembered being disillusioned with the NJO and Alliance after he was being put through the ringer through the constant wars. Jax was so consumed by war, the constant battles, and the physical and mental trauma he endured that he just...... snapped and fell to the Dark Side. When his stepdaughter bought Jax to his senses, he already felt shame for what he did and went into self-exile where he didn't resurface until..... now.

The Jedi Master landed his X-Wing onto the space pad and walked around the area his eyes darting around. He could feel a presence here but the question was: Where are they?
