I arrived at the temple, and put down my hood on my robe and looked up... amazing! The sheer size of the temple was something to behold. There were sentrys and guards everywhere.While cyan waited for his master to arrive he toyed with the curved hilt green lighsaber he had on his belt.
A new start. (Cyan Andsiris Training)

"My caretaker as a youngling, only brought me here for a visit, master." "I had never been in this part of the temple before and i wanted to learn about the alsakan crisis." said cyan, hoping his master would ask him about the code and what it meant to him, for he had studied this subject and that of the nine tenents since the beggining of his youngling training.
"Yes Master, of course." "The nine tenents are :
One, Jedi are the guardians of peace, justice, and order in the galaxy. We fight for all life, no matter how intelligent or how unintelligent, no matter how big or how small, no matter how significant or insignificant on a galactic scale. We defend civilization, as well as the freedoms and liberties of all people. The Republic shares these goals and they have become a close ally of the Order, as we are of theirs. We support them to maintain peace and stability enjoyed by this main galactic body and the people throughout the galaxy. When the galaxy is split, a Jedi will side with the Republic, even if there are disagreements with the Republic’s leadership, as we defend the people of the Republic. To rebel against this tenet is to create disorder and chaos.
Two, Emotions are unavoidable, but lessons may be learned from the feeling of these emotions. However, emotions of such strength as to cause a Jedi to act or behave in a manner different from rational thought are dangerous, and must be avoided at all costs for a Jedi to truly master the Force.
Three, Feelings of attraction and love are to be explored carefully and with rationality in mind. Romantic pathways must be treated with care so as to avoid pain and anger. A Jedi must not, however, explore the realm of marriage. To love another is dangerous yet acceptable if treated with care, but attaching oneself to another life in the bonds of matrimony cannot be allowed. Attachment leads to the dark side, and to commit to the way of the Jedi means giving up personal desires and living for the benefit of all life.
four, The Jedi are to respect life, in any form, and only take life when necessary. A Jedi must put the need of the community over the needs of individuals. A Jedi is not to act for solely personal gain or greed - the good of all must be his goal.
five, A Jedi is to protect the weak and defenseless. A Jedi may not kill a defenseless individual. Should a Jedi be in a position where aid may be given to the weak or the poor, then the Jedi should do what they can to aid the situation within the guidelines of the Code, the Tenets, and of course the law.
six, All Jedi are to respect the decisions of the Jedi High Council. While conclaves are held for all members of the Order to air concerns, the Jedi High Council is the governing body of the order. Centralized leadership is important, and this council of equals, led by an equal designated as Grandmaster, was chosen with trust to make these decisions for the Order. Jedi may disagree with the High Council but they must never openly oppose it, for we have seen the dangers in open opposition.
seven, Ruling power and financial wealth are not permitted for a Jedi, as these lead to arrogance and self-pride. Self-pride is a complex that eats the heart and mind of all, including Jedi. If a Jedi thinks he or she is greater than other beings, equal to other beings, or less than other beings then they have succumbed to self-pride. Guard against these three complexes night and day.
eight, A Jedi must consider the living and cosmic manifestations of the Force - one must be mindful of the present, but also look to both the future and the past for guidance.
nine, A Jedi does not fight for adventure or glory. A Jedi fights for the survival of civilization and the survival of the people within it. The greatest Jedi is not the one who defeats an army of thousands, but the one who triumphs over himself. Your importance lies in your devotion to life."
"The jedi code and whatit means to me is:
Emotion, yet peace, emotions are natural, but if you do not control them it can turn into chaos and lead you to the dark side.
Ignorance, yet knowledge, everyone is at one time or another ignorant. The jedi order is to help us gain knowledge, which is a never ending process. No-one is all knowing.
Passion, yet serenity, Everyone has hard desicions to make in life, but you must make a judgment according to the force, not your personal passion.
Chaos, yet harmony,Sometimes tragedies happen, but as a jedi you must learn how to deal with them.
Death, yet the force, Everyone dies, including jedi. But death is not horrable for when we die we move on to a new realm of the force."
"Master i was wondering if the archives had any scriptures on the force art of combustion." It has always fascinated me." "Also master, what force abilities can you teach me?"

"Calm down. There will be no talk of Force powers until we finish talking about the Code and the Tenets." Osman shook his head at his padawan's eagerness for power, at least from his point of view.
"You have the Nine Tenets memorized to the letter. Is this a good thing? Maybe, but is you only know what others tell you, how can you know what is truly right. You only know by placing your faith in the Force, and the Jedi Order." Osman looked around at the Library. "This place being a center of knowledge gives you so many things to look at. They can give you new ideas, or enforce a previous belief."
He turned back to Cyan. "If all you look for is new powers, and knowledge of the Force, then you will find only chaos. True understanding comes from knowing the Force, not in it's many uses. Do you understand?"
