Out of time. Not out of life.
The Force finds a way…
NABOO - Jedi Temple
Gathering Hall
3,400 years,,,
He had been frozen for 3,400 years…
One moment he was on Ephonria… a Padawan had completed her trials and was about to be knighted… the next he was defending the Temple from an attack by Sith assassins of the Empire… the next he was blinded and being told he had carbonite sickness and being told he had been frozen for 3,400 years… a slap in the face from reality…
A sobering reality indeed. When one could fathom how much the galaxy had changed in that time, it was enough to make one's head spin. So much had happened, so many had been lost, and so much had changed, but yet so much had stayed the same. It was a strange dichotomy, and one that was difficult to grasp, but if there was one thing he had learned, it was that the Force found a way to make even the most tragic of situations work out for the best in the end, regardless of how long it took, or how hard it seemed at the time. It had been a long road, and it was far from over, but that was okay, because he knew that the Force would find a way to make everything right.
So there he was, standing in the middle of the Gathering Hall of the Jedi Temple on Naboo, surrounded by Jedi Masters, Padawans, and members of the Jedi Council who walked through. He was standing guard over those who did not need to be guarded. He was watching as Jedi were looked on as nobility, the kicker is that many of them were. Jedi were not meant to rule, yet the plant Denon had one… among other planets. The Force was sacred, yet there were smugglers. The Jedi were meant to be the guardians of peace in the galaxy, yet there was war in every corner of the galaxy, even in the Temple itself. Truly the galaxy was a strange place, and he had to find his own in it or lose himself in it.
The Force would find a way…
Pointing at a young woman, he willed for her to be away from where she was, standing so close to within striking distance of a Jedi hugging his family(that was another thing)...
“You there. Please allow them personal space.”
… are Temple Guards a thing of the past? His past?
