Aela Talith
The Righteous
Her hands tightened at her side.
This was something new for Aela, something she'd never thought would happen, something that seemed utterly foreign to her.
She was part of a Jedi Order.
It had seemed unlikely since she was fourteen, impossible even. Yet here she was, calmly wearing the robes of a Jedi, her lightsaber tucked away, and her hair put into a tight braid. She stood tall and proud upon the dais, looking at the crowd before her as the new temple sat behind her. Beside her stood Grand Marshal Omai Rhen, the man who had brought all this together, the man who was founding this Order.
"Today we gather for a single purpose, we gather for the founding of a New Jedi Order, and Order that will stand for Peace. For the tenants of old and new. For everything good and just in the galaxy!"
Master Omai spoke quickly, but with an odd flare that made Aela want to listen to more. The aged man had seen many things in his life time, and as he began to speak of the future, as he outlined the path of the New Jedi Order, Aela couldn't help but feel hope.
"Together, together we will do what so many have tried to do. We will sever the control of the Sith, we will push forward, and we will protect the innocent. With me at your front, my Marshall's at my back, and you behind there's, I promise you we can do this. We will help the people of this galaxy."
She smiled slightly, stiffening as he mentioned her and the other Marshall's, feeling an odd weight of responsibility. Yet as he finished, a roar ran through the crowd, a cheer.
"This Temple..."
He motioned towards the structure behind himself.
"...Will be the first of many, our Order is new now, but in a months time we'll thrive!"
Another cheer as Omai finished his speech, the old man smiling down at the gathered Jedi. Aela looked over to him, watching him as she descended from the dais and began to move among those he had gathered here. Aela smiled, and then quickly followed suite, eager to meet those that had come.
