Raxus
Some Time Between the Afternoon and Evening
(Open to Non-Jedi aligned characters.)
For a world so centrally important to the Jedi, Ossus had been relatively close to the borders of Sith space.
That was one of the few thoughts that had swam through the boy's mind as he'd stared at the holomap. Vibrant eyes trailed over system names and hyperspace routes, and all the while the passenger ship he boarded on careened towards its destination. They hadn't done much questioning in regards to why he was wandering on a seemingly irrelevant backwater of a world, and he was comfortable in keeping his motives private. From the greeting he'd gotten at the temple, it didn't seem to be the case that the Jedi were used to just anyone showing up on the world's they chose to occupy, so the boy figured that the fewer who knew, the better.
He'd feel the ship suddenly lurch, and the boy's aquamarine spheres turned to one of the viewing windows parallel from where he sat. The shimmering blue of hyperspace had been replaced by the twinkling of far away stars; and more closely, the bright rays of Raxus' sun.

For a world under the control of the Sith, Raxus was far from what the boy had anticipated.
The breaking of his expectations had begun as soon as the ship had made it's approach towards the world in question. Vibrant and green, the planet's surface was far more inviting than that of his arid homeworld. Blue oceans covered most of the planet's surface as well, rather than massive glaciers that covered everything to north or south of the equator.
Laeonas hadn't bothered to learn the name of the exact city they'd landed in, but it differed from any he'd spent a significant period of time in. Streets were lined with the bright flora, and while still dense, the space between buildings were far wider than anything he'd seen.
For a boy who'd spent most of his life in cramped tenements, choking on the smog filled air while walking through his home city's streets, it was a very broad change. He was still expecting the sound of blasterfire in the distance as he slipped through one of the many market districts of the large metropolis. Stalls of all sorts housed goods he, surprisingly, was actually able to afford.
This planet was, in his mind, unique-- and the boy doubted the people on it were any less so.
