~~~(POV: Nathen Opal)~~~

~~~(Location: The Jedi Temple, Coruscant)~~~

Satele, Eassa, and Nella are all taking deep breaths on the other side of the old training room. They put up a great effort, but as soon as I started to use The Force as well. That's when they lost. Satele stands up and makes her way over to me with a smile.

She wraps me in a hug, and I can't help feeling this is a little spur of the moment. Satele wouldn't do this for anyone. Not even Theron or me. Meaning something happened that meant a lot to her.

"I'm proud of you, Nate... The power and skill you've gained over the years are enough to ensure that I never have to worry about you. Now that we're done with all this exercise, let's get back to why we came here."

I watch as Nella's eyes widen at Satele's words. She's probably thinking about how Satele could think this is exercise. This is the hardest Nella has ever worked. And that's because she had to focus extra hard for her to synchronize her attacks with the other two.

"I'm glad that I've given you something to look forward to."

She rolls her eyes and turns toward the exit. Making her way toward it. Eassa is close on her tail, and I make my way to my Apprentice. She's bent over and gasping for air. She looks up as I approach, and I can see she won't be able to continue.

I place my hand on her back and fill her with The Force. Restoring her energy and getting rid of her exhaustion. She stands up refreshed.

"How in the hell am I supposed to get to a level where I consider what just happened in here to be exercise? That's ridiculous."

To some, it might be. But that doesn't mean it's a level she can't reach. It'll take time, but I'll get her there. She's young, and plenty of years are ahead of her.

"C'mon, Satele and Eassa are getting ground."

She falls in behind me, and we make our way out of the old training room. Catching up with Satele and Eassa. I'm curious as to where we're going next. We've already seen some pretty cool parts of the old and ruined temple.

The amount of history and knowledge here goes far beyond what I know. Sure, I know a good amount about star wars, but I haven't read every comic book and novelization.

There are still plenty of things I don't know about this universe, and there is an infinite amount of time for me to figure it out. Since I'm a Mortis God, more or less, that means I'm immortal. That's time to do whatever I want with.

"Where are we going next anyways? I feel like the temple doesn't have that much left to offer, given the damage it's sustained."

Nella has the right logic going for her, but much of the temple is below ground. The damage to the surface is about 45 percent of the temple. From what I'm guessing. There are a lot of places that we're destroyed within the temple.

"We're heading to the old library. Most of what was once there was brought to Tython when the Jedi relocated there. However, there is something I need Nate's help with."

I'm surprised Satele needs my help with something in the old library. You'd figure she'd be able to handle whatever it is on her own without any help. It must be a real challenge.

It takes some time, around a couple of hours. But we make it a dark and dead place within the old temple. I can feel that a lot of death happened here. The Archives were one of the sights the Jedi took the most losses.

They prevented the loss of as much knowledge as they could during the sacking of Coruscant.

We all ignite our lightsabers to help light the way, and I can sense there is something here. Satele continues heading in the direction of what I'm sensing. And we make it to a large boulder. One that's strange and out of place. Like it's fallen out of time.

"This is what I need help with. As you can sense, it's something that I can't handle alone."

This is indeed strange and intriguing.
