Naboo.
Few worlds could match its splendor and beauty. Be it the majestic dignity of Theed, the lush rolling hills of the countryside, or the cool waters of the lake country, Naboo embodied everything beautiful about the galaxy. Clara Firestorm, Jedi Padawan, found herself lost in the sights around her. Since her reconciliation and brief reintroduction with the Jedi Order at its mobile fleet, she had been sent to the Naboo countryside. There, in the small city of Selton, she was to meet the Jedi who would finally teach her the mysteries of the Force and start her down the path of becoming numbered among those that call themselves Jedi Knights.
Selton was no Theed, but that was not to say it wasn't beautiful in its own right.
The city was architecturally like the rest of Naboo. Marble, cut from Naboo's very own sources, was sculpted into towering pillars and elaborate dome-topped structures. Color was everywhere. Above, the blue sky showed no traces of clouds and the gentle breeze kept the temperature almost perfect: not nearly too hot, but not too cold either. The city was segmented by small waterways, which jutted through the village towards the large river that lead towards Theed. It was along one of these waterways that Clara, armed with only a name, stood as she had been commanded in patient silence awaiting the one she would call "Master".
That name was Khivas Carrick, Jedi Knight.
Khivas' name was not alien on beautiful Naboo. Not long ago, a Jedi Knight by that very name fought in the Battle of Naboo which proved once and for all to the Empire that democracy would not tolerate Sith dominion in the galaxy. Aside from his noble contribution to Naboo's continued freedom, Khivas Carrick was well known among the Padawans of the fleet to have taught many of them their first lessons. Clara felt honored that one such as Carrick would permit a rookie like her to study under him.
Confronted with a possible long wait, and with beauty surrounding her on all sides, Clara dipped into the Force and entered a light meditation. She sought out the serenity of the Force and awareness that immersion in its energies brought her. Already she could feel a twinge of worry in her subconscious: she was known for being more reckless than other Padawans. She hoped that, despite her past shortcomings, she could prove a worthy student to another Jedi Knight.
As quickly as worry took hold, however, she squashed it. The Force would guide her path. So it always had...
