She’d never been much for writing.

Reading yes, voraciously, whatever she could get her hands on. And now that she’d left the confines of the Sith Empire and found the embrace of the Jedi Order, she’d found herself with a great deal of things to pour over that she might well have never had the chance.

Archives, incomplete as they were, filled in centuries of cultural memory so easily tossed aside by the Sith, covered up to keep their rule stable. Well, that rule was over now, her own little rebellion only one of millions that had made such a thing possible. And yet, the Jedi, that thing that had given her and so many such a spark of hope in years prior were now as maligned as the Sith by so many.

It was not the first time, she had known that much before coming here, but what she learnt now only confirmed it. As the Sith had risen to power the Jedi had gone into hiding, history repeating itself once again. If so many had done it before, she would join them. The holorecord she still held onto since she first abandoned the Empire contained the thoughts of two Jedi. One Master who had died just as the Sith took the galaxy. And another, a Jedi Knight who had hidden away in order to try and weather the storm that swirled in the stars. It was these that interested Aila now.

Perhaps, she thought, as the years went by, she would add her own learnings to the record, transfer them over to a holocron even, if she became learned enough in the ways of the Force. Perhaps over time this little artefact could become a guide, should the Jedi ever need to hide again, the would have the wisdom and experiences of multiple generations beforehand ready to guide them through such a dangerous and heavy task. To help them know that, even in their darkest hours, the light had struggled, survived, and returned, over and over again.

Such was the part she would play in history, a quiet voice that hoped it would carry on.

Only time would tell if she would be right.
