Ossus wasn’t the worst planet to be sent to, but it was a curious choice considering there was no strong Jedi presence on the planet. Though at one point, following the destruction of the Cron Cluster, it was a desolate and desert world, in recent years vegetation and wildlife had returned to portions of the planet. Thankfully, Iden’s destination was just such a place—lush with vegetation.
It was her master’s wish that she come here. “Go to Ossus,” he had said. “Train. Meditate. Study what archives they have. Help the Jedi hiding there wherever you can. Keep a low profile. Center your thoughts.”
Perhaps the average Padawan would have been offended at the implication that they “needed some rest,” but Iden found herself strangely...relieved. The death of one of her closest friends, a fellow Jedi Padawan she had trained and grown along side of for eight years, had taken more of a toll on Iden than she cared to admit.
A Jedi was supposed accept such a loss, to mourn and then celebrate the fact that the person lost was now one with the force. Iden was... not there yet. She was looking forward to centering herself and finding some alone time on Ossus. There was so little time to yourself and your thoughts in this war. Here on Ossus she could get time with her thoughts and do some measure of good with the hiding Jedi.
Iden descended the open ramp of the Corellian Dagger she had flown and found Master Lo, a tall and tan Abednedo Jedi Knight standing there.
“Padawan Farlander,” he greeted with a nod, “We have been awaiting your arrival. Your master informed us of your coming, and I wish you a warm welcome.”
“Thank you, sir,” Iden replied.
Master Lo gestured for her to follow him. “Come. I will show you to your quarters.”
The Jedi hideout was small but suited their temporary purposes, nestled and hidden away in one of the many caves and caverns of the Eocho Mountains. Here they could recover and nurse any wounds before acquiring transportation off the planet. Iden’s room had the essentials and nothing more—one cot and one wash basin.
“I know it is modest accommodations,” Master Lo stated in an apologetic tone. “But this location is only temporary...”
“It’s perfect,” Iden immediately assured the Jedi Knight, looking around the small room. “Thank you.”
“Your master implied you would lend your assistance during your stay?”
“I’ll help in any way I can,” she promised sincerely.
The Jedi Knight bowed his head in acknowledgment and turned to leave. “There is a small village not far from here, to the east, should you require anything. I will send you the coordinates. Should you leave, be sure that no one follows you here to our hideout. Well, I shall leave you to get settled in.”
“Thank you, Master Lo.”
Now alone, Iden took a seat on the modest cot and activated the holoprojector on her bracer to inform her master of her arrival.
