Private Light, Life and a New Alliance

[Aryn Teth]

The New Jedi Order. Well, not so new anymore. How long had the order stood? Shattered and remade so many times over, perhaps instead it was always new, no matter how old and tired its teachings seemed to be. Once, Aryn had been one among its number, yet another of the many blades sworn to the service of the light side of the force, to the defence of the Galactic Alliance. But that had been another order, another Alliance. Then, the one who had risen to the very pinnacle of the order had in truth been a Sith infiltrator, and it was through their machinations that the Alliance had crumbled.​

​

Then, the Jedi Order had been weak, it had fallen to misguided ways and outdated teachings, and those who served it all too often fell to darkness, either too eager or not eager enough to face injustice and defend others. Yet here it stood once more, not in the temple he had known on Coruscant, destroyed once more it seemed in that same cycle of destruction. Instead, this immense craft that served as its headquarters would at least offer some greater protection.​

​

It had taken some time and discussion, but Aryn had been permitted passage aboard the ship - at least upon revealing his identity to those who had been in charge of its security. It had not been a simple discussion, confusion and caution ever-present even as he walked the halls now. He could feel the eyes of the Temple Guard on him, behind him, the presence of the one that followed distantly enough to keep their gaze upon the former Supreme Commander.​

​

Aryn had no desire to cause problems - and so he had little concern regarding his impromptu escort. Aryn was here to see what he could, to take his measure of what this Jedi Order - This Galactic Alliance - had become. There had been a great deal to learn since he had returned to the galaxy at large, and for the dead man, this was among the most significant of his questions. Thus, Aryn Teth wandered the halls of Prosperity, sticking out like a sore thumb.​

Jax strolled amongst the Prosperity admiring the unique architecture of the ship. He was once again going to go back on the frontlines against the Brotherhood. It was pretty quiet right now but there was a saying regarding about the calm before the storm. Jax had finished an hour of meditation before deciding to explore the areas of the ship. He was still amazed of the design of the prosperity. The Jedi were creative, and their art remains one of the most revered amongst the Galaxy. It was easy to do so when you're entuned with the Force.

The Jedi Master sensed someone approaching, a figure who Jax felt was going through emotional turmoil. Frowning, Jax saw the man a fellow Jedi lost in thought maybe he needed a person to talk to. Afterall for all its serenity, the Prosperity can feel pretty lonely at times. "Hello there," Jax said a smile forming on his face. "You seem lost friend, what's on your mind?"

An unfamiliar voice drew Aryn from his thoughts. He turned his gaze, settling it upon Jax with a briefly raised brow. It was a polite greeting, and the smile on the man's face was almost insufferably fitting for a Jedi. Truthfully, Aryn figured this was exactly what he should have expected. His signature in the force was strange, it drew others in - not dark but not partiuclarly intent towards the light either. The fact that a member of the order had come to try and speak to him was more a matter of certainty than pure chance, he figured.​

​

"Just taking in how things have changed." The explanation was initially vague, giving some indication that Teth had been among the Jedi Order before, but he made no move to identify himself. Whether or not the man that had come to speak to him was of little concern to him, but perhaps he would provide an opportunity to paint a picture of what the Galactic Alliance and its New Jedi Order had become.​

​

"I've not been in the borders of the Alliance since it was re-established, curiosity finally got the better of me to see how it changed, I suppose - might be why I seem lost." He smiled placatingly towards Jax, crossing his arms over his chest.​

Jax raised an eyebrow, who was this Jedi? Did he leave the NJO and is now coming back? Or was he one of those people who somehow was unfrozen from the Clone War era? They've been popping up everywhere it seemed now and days. The man had Jax's curiosity but what he just said now got Jax his attention. "Are you from the SJC?" Jax asked. "Where are you from?"

The Jedi Master then chuckled. "Ah chit," Jax said. "Where are my manners, name's Jax Thio: Jedi Master of the Galactic Alliance and who might you be my friend?"

The man was immensely pleasant in that way only Jedi ever seemed to manage. The curiosity on his face was evident, made clearer by the questions he asked. He supposed it was natural, strangers wandering the halls of the Jedi Temple were likely not among the most common occurrences. Slowly, Aryn shook his head. "I'm afraid not, nowhere quite so pleasant." He chuckled softly. Truthfully, he imagined it was difficult to answer such a question. Perhaps he should have said Eriadu, though he had not felt as though he belonged to that world for decades now. He wasn't sure that his most recent 'home' would have been a pleasant answer, either.​

​

The opportunity at introductions pushed the thought away, a brow raising as he watched Jax closely, considering what exactly would be the best way to go about answering such a thing. He had already explained his identity upon landing, so it would hardly remain a secret too long, but he wondered if this man would even know who he was. Well, only one way to be sure.​

​

"Aryn Teth, former Supreme Commander of the Galactic Alliance, a pleasure."​
