((Obviously this thread will have a strong Jedi component, BUT its definitely open to anyone who wants in.))
The lights of Coruscant are beautiful as you leave the planet’s strong embrace. Lines and rows of illumination revealed the hidden superhighways which crisscrossed the surface, like honey glaze on a freshly baked pastry from Karis Orno’s youth. How he wished he could have one, and his mothers’ embrace. And his father’s knowing smile. They were down there, somewhere, beneath the honey-glaze, getting smaller and smaller as Karis hurdled farther and farther into space.
In the grand scheme of things, Karis was not going very far from home, he knew. It was just a quick hyperdrive jump to a nearby planet and they would jump back, in a few days. While there, whatever the planets’ name was Karis could not remember, they would investigate the land, meditate, and train. It was essentially a field trip. The master who was leading the trip said that it was intended to take the Force out of the classroom and remind students that the Force existed outside of the Jedi Temple. Karis would have been just fine with keeping the Force locked away in the Temple, if that meant he could stay on the planet. This was his first time off planet, ever.
Remembering that, Karis’ stomach began to churn again. He turned his head away from the view screen and closed his eyes. He was strapped into his seat, but if he was able to move freely he would have tried to lie down. Once again, he longed for his mother’s embrace, for the sweet pastries that smelled of home. For an adventure not so adventurous.
As Karis longed for the familiar, the transport and its escort blasted into the unknown.
