The temple on Tython, previously standing so tall and proud, had been reduced to naught but a crater in the ground, a pile of unrecognizeable rubble sitting in the center of it. The courtyard was undamaged, for the most part, but was covered in a layer of dust that blanketed the surroundings like a nearly-incorporeal death shroud. As a cold breeze blew through the courtyard, it waved the last living creation in what had been the temple complex: a single flower, miraculously untouched by the destruction.
Sihkar stood alone for the moment, looking at the destruction; other Jedi, those able to travel, would be joining him from Ilum; the younglings were still there, moved to Ilum rather than Tython. The Crucible was just docked for the time, and wasn't being used at all, because there was no need, given that the younglings were already in place. They wouldn't be coming...but those fellows who had joined Sihkar, Marcus, and Bau at the beginning would hopefully be coming soon, if they were healed enough. None of them had really been there to see what had been left after the bombing, but they need to see it.
They needed to come and witness what had happened, just why they were fighting...and just why they shouldn't stoop to the same levels as the Sith they were fighting.
Sihkar turned to where Lael was standing behind him, motioning her forwards. She'd been healing from the wound she took from her fight here on Tython, trying to defend the temple. It was important she was here as a part of it, too. Not just as a Jedi, but as a defender. Nearly as a Knight, if Sihkar was concerned.
"How long do you think before the others start to show up?"
