DELRAKKIN, OUTER RIM
Rain and wind howled against the hull as their ship descended through the gloom, no hint of a welcome after their long and arduous journey. So be it. Dash had faced enough threats and endured enough hardship to be past such things. They were here because they had to be...
LORTA, MID RIM
Dash had given himself precious little time to think since Tython, on purpose. He knew himself by now, knew he could stoke himself to feel one thing and yet given time come around to think different. But there was no time for indecision. Many people had told him over the...
JEDI TEMPLE, KRO VAR, UNKNOWN REGIONS
The frozen sphere rolled in the air, turning this way and that in defiance of gravity. A dusting of snow fell in a steady stream as it swirled, gathering on the mirrored, frozen floor.
Dash stood beneath his creation in a scant training robe, blue eyes...
DOCKYARD, MOS EISLEY SPACEPORT
13:17 local time
"Family member is he?" the dockmaster ventured, scowling at the holoimage.
"You might say that" Dash replied, suppressing a smile. This Padawan Viszla did have his blue eyes and fair skin. They would even have shared the blonde hair, before...
KRO VAR
8.17am local time
Ships?! Sailing ships?! But who’s? From where?
None of it made any sense. Dash had seen it in his dreams before the message had even been brought to him. Great ships, of an unfamiliar design, beaching on a frozen shore. A small camp, anxious faces and burgeoning...
KRO VAR
11.38 local time
Dash jabbed at the edge of the stone with his pick, driving the sharp edge beneath the rim of the huge buried rock and trying to prize it free. He sang to himself as he worked, his voice echoing through the caverns above. Dash had found that song often helped him...
DANTOOINE, JEDI TEMPLE, SUBLEVEL
1.00pm local time
The elevator door creaked shut behind them, shutting out Dantooine's midday sun.
Dash tried to focus as they descended into the gloom. After the events of Eiram, he had thrown himself into his Jedi duties, picking up whatever assignments...
KODA STATION, OUTER RIM
1700hrs local time
Koda Station was a small, austere place. A trading post that was more functional than friendly, it had far too little to occupy the mind and far too many empty corners for Dash to sit in and worry.
He had said goodbye to Michael Harda and their...
KRO VAR
0715 hours local time
The landing ramp began to open and Dash was immediately hit by the heat of Kro Var. Striding down, he looked up uncertainly, breathing in the hot, acrid air. The familiar volcano towering above them had livened up from his last visit, breathing fire on the...
JEDI COUNCIL SESSION, BRIGHTHOME
9.30am local time
Dash folded his arms, leaning against the wall and waiting his turn.
He did not have much experience dealing with the Jedi Council just yet and was a little nervous, but his nerves were not the only thing making him uncomfortable. He did...
ITHOR CAVERNS
3.00pm local time
Dash needed to think.
The events of Eiram had cast an unwelcome shadow. The Rhinnalian had rescued his boyfriend and delivered his friends from harm, yet the bonds between them almost seemed weaker now than before. Dash and Ez had their first real spat and...
MALTHA OBEX
11.00am local time
Dash kicked at the snow around his feet. He was sitting on a low wall opposite the derelict tower in the outskirts of the city. The icy wind of Maltha Obex whipped by, tugging at the shoulder cloak of his armor. For a long time now he had not really felt the...
ARNDALE WOODS, RHINNAL
3.00pm local time
It had taken most of the day to reach the woods, even starting from Rhire at the crack of dawn. Dash just hoped it would be worth it.
He was back home visiting family and had decided to bring the Casket out to the village where Jadis had started life...
JEDI TEMPLE, ITHOR
6.30pm local time
It was a rare thing for the Jedi to come together. With their numbers scattered and their duties many, the members of the Order almost never had chance to gather and reflect as a family. But when it mattered, they made the time.
A Knighting Ceremony was...
ITHOR CAVERNS
4.00pm local time
Dash Pavan pressed himself against the hard rock, shimmying along the ledge beneath the waterfall and into the hidden cavern.
The hollow space behind the falls was a little secret of his, a place he had found weeks ago and one that would be perfect for what he...
GENERIS
10.20am local time
Generis was going to be hard work, Dash could just tell.
The world was hot and humid and little fresh air blew through the window, even as the wheeled transport shot up the mountainside. He adjusted his tank top in a vain attempt to keep cool, but it was no good...
ITHOR
1.00pm local time
Dash sat on the mossy rock, anxiously kicking his heels against the stone. Where the hell was Ezra.
He pulled at his casual jungle gear, trying to stay cool. The large sports bag next to him felt like a bomb. It was not, to his knowledge, but the holocron could be...
RHIRE CITY, RHINNAL
9.30am local time
Dash looked through the window, finding the white slopes in the distance a familiar comfort as the shuttle wove between the spires of Rhire city.
He was home.
The young Jedi had not been back to Rhinnal for quite a while. His training and assignments...
CHA LAKE RESORT BEACHFRONT CAFE, XUCPHRA CITY, THYFERRA
1.00pm local time
Cha Lake was stunning. A vast expanse of clear blue water in an old volcanic crater, its sweeping white beaches and idyllic scenery had attracted the crème de la crème of Thyferra's Human population a long time ago...
LORRD, OUTER RIM
7.00am local time
Dash Pavan could not stand still.
It was not a strength of his at the best of times, but the young Padawan was finding it impossible this morning.
"Are you quite sure I can't help you young man?" the droid chimed. The stupid thing had been bothering him...
