The black fighter exploded out of hyperspace, Rilia finally in view. Arili got into the landing pattern, and descended according to the controllers orders.
We're here, finally.
She said to the Holt and Dak in the back, as the black ship glided over the deserts around the Western Temple. A surge of reliefe came over her as she set the ship down lightly on an open landing pad, and turned off the systems.
She got up, and walked past Dak and Holt, and opened the Cargo bay door, and stepped out, into the hot Rilian sun for the first time in days. She smiled, it was good to be home.

Came out soon after Ms. Annunaki and winced and the glaring sun beating down on his slightly tanned face. It only took a few seconds to readjust his eyes from the fighter's darkness to this planet's brightness.
Is this where the Jedi are?
Dak looked around seeing the fighter behind him and Ms. Annunaki. Dak could still feel the gentle warmth emanating this person who managed to take Dak away from the troubles of the Corellian Slums, but Dak couldn't find any other like Ms. Annunaki around. Dak assumed that it was because Ms. Annunaki was a one in a million. The the boy looked up into the sun and winced once more. So many mysteries for the young boy to solve, but to his knowledge there was an infinite time to explain it. For Dak, who for nine years of his life which was his childhood no less he didn't completely lose the hope of leaving Corellia, patience came easily. With all that in mind Dak patiently waited Ms. Annunaki's direction.

(No worries, Ruth, I plan on remedieing that...)
Holt was the last one to leave the transport.
Arili had been gone for only a few days, Dak had only spent fourteen years on his home world, but Holt had been away from the world he helped to liberate for twenty years.
Twenty years. No matter how many times he thought of it, he could not seem to grasp the fact that he had been hiding for more than half of his life. All the Jedi had, but they were either older, or on worlds with other Jedi on them. Holt had been all alone. The Jedi that was supposed to go with him to Kashyyyk, never made it.
The Nelvaan climbed out, wraping his long stretch of hair around his neck to keep it out of his way, and stepped over to the two, listening to the youngling's question.
[glow=white,2,300]"Many are. Though more are the Feanturi. They are... similar to the Jedi, but much older, Master Firians is their leader, as well as our own. You will meet her soon."[/glow]
Holt said, absently, as he looked to Arili.
[glow=white,2,300]"Shall we take him to Master Firians? I am certain she would like to meet him before he begins."[/glow]

Arili nodded to Holt's question. She was starting to realize that the force had something on its agenda. A simple mission turned into the location of 2 new Padiwans, and a new ship. Perfect for the Jedi, it was almost undetectable, and extremely fast. But something else was on her mind at this point, and that was the explosion just before they jumped out of the system. Yes, granted, it could have been anything, a Reactor accident, a collision, anything, but Arili had a distinct feeling that it was more than what it seemed to be. She would look at the sensor logs later, before bringing it to the attention of Talau.
She looked over at Holt as he spoke.
Yes, I think that we should take him immediately to Master Firians.
She said, distractedly. She couldn't get her mind off the explosion, and the distinct feeling of...defiance, that washed over her just before it occurred.

Well if meeting this "Master Firians" is as important as you make it I am all the more eager to greet this man.
Dak had only been on this planet for a couple of minutes and already he was learning. To know that the Jedi weren't even a whole section any more...rather split into two factions. Questions like "what makes the Firians different from the average Jedi." THese simple things plagued the young boy's mind as he looked around at the few people that came by.
I know I must seem impatient when I ask this, but is this planet where I'll receive the proper training?
Dak simply voiced another one of the questions that raked his mind. It wasn't really the fault of Ms. Annunaki, or even Holt for that matter, but the fact of the matter was that so little was explained to Dak. Dak simply trusted himself and allowed himself to be whisked away. It wasn't really that Dak was regretting his decision, Dak knew the choice he made was right, it was that Dak just knew so little. Such an absence of knowledge was unusual for him because back on Corellia he would often ready old fashioned books. Look through information on his terminal and observe holocrons of famous figures. Dak knew a lot for his age, and now that he thought back on it the Jedi were mentioned every once in a while inside those holocrons. The young boy shook his head trying to regain his composure. It was as if he was just realizing now all that he had done. It hit him like the back end of a vibroblade. Dak staggered a bit and after getting his footing he looked at Ms. Annunaki with his own blue eyes.
I'm sorry, I should of had more patience like I usually do. I guess I'm half intrigued, and half anxious.

Holt smiled. The boy had referred to Master Firians as a man. He would soon enough learn not to make such assumptions. Holt woud make certain of that. He looked around, before turning back to the boy.
[glow=white,2,300]"You will begin your training here, yes. But this is not the ony place you will train. Allow me to explain. Every Jedi begins as a youngling, which is what you are now. Younglings are instructed on a very low level until they reach a certain age. I feel you have reached this age, so your time as a youngling will be short. Once younglings reach a certain age, they are chosen by older Jedi, Knights and Masters alike. Under these Jedi, the youngling begins their real training as a Padawan Learner. It is with one of the Jedi here that you will be training with, though that is up to them, as they will choose their own padawans. Be careful not to get too attatched to any one of your potential teachers. Be open to any possibility."[/glow]
Holt said, sensing a certain amount of overeagerness in the boy.

Dak smiled as at least one of his questions about his questionable future was answered. The boy didn't really need more as he realized Holt's answer sated his appetite for knowledge for now. As to whether Dak would be able to find the location of Jedi arts and techniques as well as the history of the Jedi or even the Firians would be a question for later times. For now Dak just waited, his patience returning, for these two Jedi to direct him further.
Thank you Holt.

Arili suddenly realized that she was the only one who actually knew where to go.She nodded at Holt explained, then chipped in.
Allright, its this way.
She said, walking off towards the temple entrance.
Dak was an interesting one, but not what she was looking for in a padiwan. Holt was probably going to take him on, as Arili was looking for someone much more combat-minded. Not to mention she still had to examine the disturbance she felt just before the explosion, and if she took a padiwan that would have to wait or he would have to wait back on Rilia.
