The Forgotten
William Tarin
Jedi Padawan
One Year Ago
The Republic Cruiser slipped out of Hyperspace into the orbit of Coruscant, edging slowly into the atmosphere. In it's command bridge stood William alongside his Kel Dor Master, Shi Kaan. "You did well." Kaan nodded, placing a hand on his Padawan's shoulder. William smiled, thanking his master with a nod. "I believe you are ready. Once we are back, I'll speak to the council." The Padawan smiled again, suppressing his excitement. Finally he was going to be a Jedi Knight, like his uncle was before he died.Arriving at the Jedi Temple, Master Shi left his Padawan and made his way to the Council chambers. Now alone, William decided to wait in the Archives. It was only a few hours before a Togruta came to him, bowing politely. "The Council wishes to see you."
The Council Chambers were new to him, yet the face of it's members were not. All of the highest Masters of the Order, aswell as his own Master, who stood in the centre of the circle awaiting him. As William approached, Master Shi's lightsaber ignited, pointing at his Padawan. With a nod of his head, the Padawan kneeled before the bright green blade as it cut the braid which hung from his hair. "Congratulations, William. You are now a Knight of the Order." Rising to his feet and touching the stump of hair that was once his padawan braid, William smiled. "Thank you, Master."
"We have an assignment for you already, Knight." One of the Master's spoke, a Quarren with long, yellow robes. "You must go to Mustafar, with Master Shi, and investigate a mining facility that has gone silent. Normally the mining company would handle it, but the Council have felt something bad about it, and advised that one of our own investigate first."
"Very well, Master." William bowed, turning alongside Shi. "Let us make haste, this could be something very bad..." His former teacher said, setting off to the hangar, with William shortly following.
