Sabbatical

Treatment was getting to be a schutta.

The wounds he had suffered on Gree were healing, but they were doing so at a rate that would keep Cedric from doing his job for many months. Given the current state of the galaxy and trials his people were undergoing, such inaction was simply unacceptable. When traditional medicine had proven itself lacking, the Jedi Master chose to seek out alternative means of care.

Sabarene had been the result of his search. The temple there was host to a handful of healers, whereas the New Republic could only claim two or three at most. The Jedi Master had taken one final look in the mirror before making his decision.

Stripped to his undergarments, Cedric observed his mangled form. His body looked to have aged ten years past his actual age. Scars and warped flesh told stories of past conflicts upon that canvas that was his form, but one specific wound in particular drew his attention. His chest was bound by stitching, but the skin around it had darkened to an unhealthy shade of brown that almost looked like bruising. The Jedi Master understood it for what it truly was.

When battling the Sith on Gree, he'd sustained multiple blows from the Sith commander. In the process, his entire body had been set aflame, and the majority of his skin had to be replaced with grafts. As if the flames were not enough, a lightsaber bound in the pure ethereal energy of the dark side had split his ribcage. The physical aspects of the wound had been healed, but the corruption that lingered kept it from progressing any further.

I need a healer.

Content with his conlusion, Cedric wasted little time in absconding to the temple on Sabarene. He entered the hallowed halls clad in the dark robes his people, though he'd elected not to wear the armored plates with the Jedi garb this time. His features were hidden by the visage of his mask, and few paid the strange Jedi Master much mind as he asked around for an available healer.

Hopefully he could find one before the day was done.

Her morning started as it often did: early, peacefully, and in communion with the Force. The meditation was habit forming, like an early morning prayer to pull one through those dark phases in life, reflecting and seeking the Force’s guidance on the path one took. The wounds of recent events made this all the more important now. She had not been there when the Galactic Alliance fell, but the tremors were felt on a Galactic scale, the darkness extending its tendrils through the Galaxy, growing with each and every passing day.

It was a troubling and solemn truth that the light was barely in existence, though there were still active Jedi who were ever vigilant to fight against the Sith.

There is no chaos, there is harmony.

She recited the code silently to herself, a quiet reminder of the tenants and beliefs she held to center her.

The Jedi had been close to extinction many times before, and each era brought recovery and new understanding of the Force and how to apply it. The Jedi would draw together. Eventually, they would come out on the better end of things. Sooner or later.

She could feel it. The brush of hope.

Sitting still in the middle of the dojo, her violet eyes opened, head turning to look directly towards the door that opened and closed with a swoosh.

“My apologies, Knight Viren.” a voice echoed, stepping forward until the two Jedi were mere centimeters apart.

“Padawan Kadira,” Chiara said aloud, smiling at the doe-eyed teenage girl. “My friend, what is it?”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Master Grayson, it is a pleasure to meet you...” Chiara appeared on the scene as quickly as she was able, locating the Master an easy task.

The fire-maned woman bowed slightly at the waist, an elaborate braid spilling over her shoulder in the process of showing her due deference to the man. She was nothing, if not polite that way. Treating strangers as though they were already friends, in the hope of making them more comfortable. “And a most unexpected surprise…” she finished softly, her voice almost lyrical.

“I am Chiara Viren, a Jedi Healer, and Knight of this Order,” she proffered her hand. “How may I be of service to you?”
