Home of the Jedi
June 29,2003
Janai paced back and forth on the balcony. Usually the sound of waves crashing along the cliffs soothed her,it wasn’t today. After discovering that Daniel was force sensitive she immediately called Tony,she couldn’t tell him about his force abilities, it was too dangerous and he wouldn’t understand anyway, but she had to break some bad news to him. Tony had been busy with a business meeting the day before so he came today, which only stressed Janai more, she wanted to rip it off like a band-aid.
“What do you mean you’re taking Daniel and leaving?!” Tony shouted, He felt betrayed.
“I know this isn’t what you wanted to hear and I’m sorry,but something came up and all of us are in danger now. It would be better if I take him and disappear for a while.” Janai was on the brink of tears,but she knew this was the only way.
“What came up? Why are we in danger?” You can’t just call me out of the blue and say you’re taking my son out of my life!” Tony’s eyes were now betraying his emotions,tears flowing down. His voice starting to falter.
“I wish I could tell you everything Tony, I really do but I can’t.” She turned away from him looking across the ocean. “Besides,he’s already gone.”
Tony felt like his whole world had just been ripped away from him. “Where is he?”
Tython ,home of the first Jedi ever to walk the galaxy. A planet filled with Light side energy. The current home of the Jedi Order.
As the door of the ship opened, Daniel was blinded by the sunlight shining brightly in his eyes.A woman he had seen with his mother a couple of times carried him in her arms. Looking around he saw a couple people with long sticks. The woman stopped at the front of a large building.
“This little one,is the Jedi Temple,the sacred place of our Order and your new home.”
Entering into the Jedi Temple,the duo were greeted by a large floating statue with bright blue lights inside of it. Walking up the stairs he couldn’t help but feel the numerous eyes of the temples inhabitants fall on him. Entering a large hall,the two are met with a group of five people.
“Masters,I have returned to you because Master Udera has discovered a child strong in the force.Stronger than any other youngling she or I have ever discovered.” The woman holding Daniel stated.
A small green man with pointed ears spoke. “Indeed,strong in the force he is Master Dia. sense it from here,I can.” He got up from where he was sitting and walked with a short cane to the two. “Which planet did Master Udera find this youngling, Hhhhmm?”
“She found him on Terra.”
The group of people started to talk amongst themselves,as the smaller man looked intrigued. One of the men in the group spoke up,a man with a stoic face. “We have never had a report of anyone being force sensitive on Terra,it’s basically a back water world.”
“Yes,but often times,wrong the records are Master Windu.” The little green man spoke up. “Works in mysterious ways,the force does. Train here at the temple,He shall be.”
“I trust your judgment Master Yoda,the boy shall be trained and we shall wait for Master Udera to return.” Master Windu spoke up.
Leaving the council chambers,Master Dia took Daniel to an empty room and set him down. Crouching to his level she spoke, “I know you are young and you are afraid,but do not fear. Your mother should be here soon,but when you see her you mustn't call her your mother,the Jedi cannot know.” She took him to another room,this time the room was filled with other children his age. “Here little one,this is where you shall stay.” She turned and left,leaving Daniel alone on a strange planet,with no one he knew.

Daniel sat cross legged underneath a waterfall,meditating,letting the energy of Tython poor into him. He felt the feeling of the living creatures all over Tython,from the Jedi at the temple,to the Flesh Raiders in their caves. Yet,he didn’t feel one thing coming from behind him.
“RAAAAAAAWWWWWRRR!”
He Jumped from the rock he was sitting on,and tripped right into the water. Looking up, he saw a Mirialan girl the same age as him,another youngling.
“Really Sheyo!? I was actually meditating this time!”
Sheyo laughed at her friends misery. “Oh really? It looked like you were about to fall asleep.”
“I’m sorry,I think you are mistaking me for you.”
“Ha ha,anyway are you excited for today? We finally get a master and become full fledged padawans!’
“I wonder why we’re being given a master before getting a lightsaber.”
“I bet it’s because they need to train us more first.”
“Maybe you’re right,either way I’m still excited. I wonder who we’ll be paired to”
“C’mon meditation boy,we can’t be late for finding out.”
Daniel and Sheyo walked down the path from the waterfall back to the Jedi Temple,in the past few years Tython has quickly became more populated than in the past. The last 3 years revealed the return of the Sith Empire,they waged war against the galactic Republic and began a galaxy wide war. The Jedi Temple on coruscant destroyed when the Sith attacked the planet. The remnant of their order returned to Tython or Joined the republic forces in fighting the Empire.
The two of them entered the temple hall and stood in front of the council chambers with the other younglings. Daniel has had his run ins with the council members,five in total. Master Yoda,the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order,Master Windu,Master Kenobi,Master Shakti and Master Plo Koon. Each are strong in the Jedi ways,yet some are more “open minded” like masters plo and kenobi. Soon the younglings were ushered into the council chambers,each council member stood in a line,Master Windu spoke.
“Today is the day you take your next step as a Jedi”
“You each must venture out and discover your Kyber crystal,when you do you will continue onto the forge where you shall build your lightsaber.” Master Plo spoke.
“Careful you must be,many dangers there are.” Master Yoda added.
Master Kenobi stepped forward. “Head into the caves to the west,there are clusters of crystals there. Be wary,your crystal must call out to you otherwise your lightsaber will never be yours.”
The Younglings were dismissed from the council chambers and began their quest. travelling from the temple to the mountains, Daniel and Sheyo arrived at the entrance to a large cave not far from the waterfall from earlier. Using robotic lanterns the two entered the cave and walked for a long time. Coming to a split in the cave the two stopped,He heard a small,light,whistle come from his left,down that path.
“I think we should head down that way,I have a strong feeling that’s where we’ll find it.” He pointed out.
“Sorry Dany,I think we should go that way.” She pointed towards the right. “I really,really have a strong feeling about it.”
“I think this is where we head our separate ways Sheyo.”
“I think you’re right,be careful.”
“May the force be with you Sheyo.”
Continuing down his path,he stumbled upon an underground river leading into another section of the cave. He follows. Down the river,he exits out into a large cavern glistening with crystals. The whistling sound is stronger here,and beacons to him. Heading towards the call,he is stopped when a large creature steps out of the shadows and blocks his path. He recognizes the creature as a Narglatch,a large cat like creature. Some people would attack this creature on sight,not him. Standing his ground,He put his hands together and started to meditate.
“I am sorry for disturbing you,I do not wish to cause you harm. May I please pass in peace?”
The Narglatch’s anger softened after that. Moving out of Daniel’s way it came closer and nudged it’s head on his shoulder before exiting the cavern.He watched as the creature left when he heard the whistle again. Moving closer to the sound,he saw a bright light from a hole in the cavern. Too far to reach,he called on the force. The crystal unlodged from its place in the ground and started floating towards him until it was within his reach. Grabbing the crystal he felt the raw utter power that the crystal held. It was time to head to the forge.
