The atmospheric descent was rapid, as usual. In fact the whole journey from Coruscant had seemed to sweep past Shindar's eyes before she had even noticed. The moment was surreal, realizing that she would be entering the up-to-date version of what was originally the oldest Jedi Temple in existence. Every time she closed her eyes to blink a surge of the Force overcame her with a comfort like warm sunlight after a frigid night. There was much beauty in this place, and she couldn't even see the ground yet.
Soon enough, however, their ship had passed through the clouds and was sticking out its landing gear to meet the ground with a slight bump. Shindar didn't waste time staring out one of the ship's portholes. As soon as the atmospheric pressurization was complete, she opened the hatch to breathe the free air and see the Temple without filters before her eyes. The sight was magnificent, quite different from the feel of the Coruscant Temple. The jungles were alive here on Tython, but in such a different sense than the constant and overwhelming civilization of Coruscant. Shindar felt it may be easier to meditate and connect with the Force without having to drown out the noise of speeders, starship engines, and all the cacophony that came along with large cities. There was something about being close to a tree, having old-fashioned grass beneath one's feet, that made one feel more at home and therefore at peace.
She turned back to Master Rontatt, who was still inside the ship.
"I think I'm going to enjoy our time here quite well, Master."
The young girl took one last look out onto the Temple and planet landscape before accepting that she was likely going have much training to do on this day.
"What would you have me do today?"
