Faith Fractured
One thing that Aeris really couldn’t understand no matter how hard she tried was this fascination with the Old Republic. Well, she could understand why, but it was also an era that she associated with Jedi arrogance, a belief that there was peace while the dark grew beneath their noses. No matter how hard she tried, her opinions of Revan had rendered her a controversial figure in some areas and a peer in others. She kept that in mind for when in due time she would have to explain why Jedi of this age were in many ways both the same yet different from back then.
Regardless, time was a valuable thing and they had a whole evening free to watch it fly by as they studied one of the old masters of the Old Republic together. Not Revan themself but one of the Jedi that had served with him during the wars and the stories of what said Jedi General had been up to after it had ended.
They had gotten far in their career, there was no denying that, but in the end it seemed that like many other jedi of the time they would lose it all, and in a fall to the dark side of the Force no less. It was an all too common story at the time which either spoke of how the Jedi treated fallen brothers back then, or screamed of extreme inefficiency in keeping tabs on who did what and why. Either way it hardly painted a bright picture of who or what they did at the time.
“So,” Aeris said and put the book down before Brandyn with a curious glance. “Remind me why you want to read about this particular General, again?”
She took a seat in front of the man on the other side of the small table and opened her own copy of the book. It looked more worn, definitely a piece that had seen less use than most books, but an important piece of Jedi history nonetheless.
“It’s an intriguing story, but there are more detailed accounts on others. Especially given how many Old Republic Jedi and Sith seem to have been frozen in time for varying reasons and what-not.”
