*Atuna's ship landed, and he stepped out and looked around. Everything was the same.*

*Good.*

*He made his way to the capitol, which was about a quarter-mile away.*

*A quiet breeze floats over the surface of the planet. The world is at peace.*

:Descent complete, initiating landing procedure:

*The X-wing Starfighter quickly made it's way to the planets surface, a location not conquered by the industrial nature of sentient beings but more possessed by the nature of the land. As it approached the moist surface of the planet, slightly forested in nature, the landing legs extended from the dinged up hull and quickly settled to the ground. Immediately, the cockpit glass protector dismounted and flung open. In the same breath, Eli disembarked from the ship, setting foot on solid ground for the first time in what seemed like ages. He brought his hands to the ground, no longer encumbered by the gloves he typically wore, and pulled some of the soil to his fingertips, ribboning the material between his thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Smiling, he removed the sunglasses from the bridge of his nose and stared up to the sky, his emerald eyes taking in the sun for everything it was worth*

"That's right Simon, descent complete."

*He breathed deeply, the chlorophyll ran vibrantly through his veins, hidden underneath his darkened skin. There was a reason he set out on this journey, there is no doubt about that. The training he received on Zelos II brought him to the necessary conclusion that world had run sufficiently rampant. Like a plague of zombies from the old world, everything seemed to be so much darker in the galaxy, a shadow that announced it's presence in a more slightly demanding demeanor with every passing day. All those days and his time spent receiving the word of the Force had brought him to the trial he now set up on. His master required bidding and bidding was what Eli intended. But in the loneliness of the space and the darkness that would spurn the fear of a lesser Zelosian, Eli sought comfort in what this planet could offer him, if not just temporarily. This part of the planet, it reminded him a lot of what he wished all the world could be.*

:Query: What does this have to do with the objective?:

*Eli knelt down, placing the plot of dirt he pulled up back into the face of Katarr. Standing back up, he paced towards the front side of plane and looked at the trees that formed the broken canopy above him*

"Life is not without it risks my metal friend. We all take chances, some more than others. It is the will of the Force that it should be so. And life is very fragile for the organics. Before I can set upon my path, I must make sure the path is worth traveling."

:Query: What does this have to do with the objective? Previous compliance failed.:

*Eli looked over to the hull contained bot, it's head spinning it metaphorical circles as if to understand him. Rather than attempt to answer the emotionless droids simple question, Eli reached into his pocket and hit the button, powering down Simon*

*He had taken the time to walk a distance away from the aircraft he arrived on. The ship was a necessity for travel, as were the weapons he carried, but that doesn't mean he had to appreciate the eye sore of the metallic vessels presence in a land more serene than he could have expected. Finding a nice patch of soil, thoroughly removed of vegetation but surrounded by overgrowth, Eli laid his weapons on the ground, behind a large tree and out of site. Bending at the knees as he knelt down, he was given a window through the foliage to the sun, as if the Force had cut out a narrow just for him to gaze upon it. In actuality, falling trees often left patches of mud barren for new growth to arise, which while not as majestic as the Force intervening in the life of a lowly passer-by, it still served the metaphorical purpose he was hoping for.*

*Now on his knees, Eli shuffled through the bag at his right side, pulling an old piece of parchment that had obviously seen better days but was folded delicately nonetheless. Looking at the sun, his emerald eyes slightly growing from the much needed energy that he lacked in space, Eli shook his head and looked at the unfolded piece of paper now resting in his hands. His eyes traced over the etched lines, repetition after repetition with more repetition, the words flowing in his mind and echoing through all of this thought processes. The words filled every action he committed, were the foundations of his being, and provided with all the guidance he required. There were no words of diplomacy or implicit passivism, only statements of action and devotion. Words implied through the only true master he would ever accept, all others were surrogates.*

He folded the paper back together and placed it delicately back in the satchel, as to not damage it. His hands rested firmly on his thighs, knees creating indents in the soft soil beneath him, as he looked out towards the blue skyline temporarily lit up by an orange glow from the sun. It was near evening and the sun was settling down. On Zelos II, this would be when all citizens would return to their home, in fear of that which lied in the darkness. But Eli made a vow to never succumb to that fear, because that was the way of darkness and once it had you, there would always be that doubt and fear in your mind.

He watched quietly as the sun completely set, over the course of an hour, and he slouched forward, placing his sunglasses back on. There was no need to not wear them now, he couldn't see either way. But he could feel and that was perhaps the most important thing about the night to him. By losing his sight, he became more open to the force, like the pressure caused by closing one gate to force a flood to enter through another, a surge of sorts in the quietness of being blind. In was in this time that he quietly meditated, listening to the world he ventured to and the various activities and events that occurred there.*

*He opened his eyes, the emerald shine of them hidden behind the dusty relics of sun spectacles that rested on the bridge of his nose. He had waited through the night, sitting in his position of meditation, sure that the silence of the world around him would bring further commune with the force. He sought answers as to where he should go and recalled upon the words of his former teachers about the lands where Jedi called home. Eli was most certainly not looking for a permanent place of residence: to become plotted like the ones of old, roots exposed and incapable of acting dynamically. That was not his intent at all, but given his current state, a place to reside while he collects his thoughts and further speaks with the force would be beneficial: if not for his own sanity, then perhaps he could teach others.*

*Standing up from the kneeling position, he realized his knees were slightly sore. He was not used to taking that position after such long trips of sitting down in the cockpit of a star fighter. As he walked over to the tree where he laid his belongings, wiping off the dirt from his knees, he picked up the various weapons and returned quietly to his ship.*

*Instantly, upon seeing the powered down droid, Eli clicked the remote in his pocket and the judgmental droid came to life, also powering up the star fighter.*

:Query: What is the next Location, Master Jedi?:

*He began throwing the various items into the side compartment for storage, closing it off tightly when complete. Using the force to aid in his movement. Eli jumped slightly upward and twisted, landing in the cockpit. As he clicked the belt over his chest and began flipping various switches, the cockpit protector closed, and he took a moment to pause and speak.*

"The old ones spoke to me about Corellia, Yavin, and Falleen...all homes to the Jedi. I will let you choose Simon."

*It wasn't his typical practice to leave his fate in the hands of a droid, but this droid tended to polarize towards what Eli truly wanted. As the ship took off, Eli looked out the window and watched the sun rise, a vision he wouldn't see for quite some time.*

*The ship landed and Gabriel descended te boarding ramp quickly. His haste was stopped as soon as his feet touched the soul of the planet. The power, memories and life of the planet hit him like a tidal wave. Gabriel clutched his head as his mind was overloaded with the energy. Fumbling at the coverings of his eyes, he finally found the knot and ripped off his eye coverings.*

Mon Jan 31, 2011 8:27 pm by Corvina

*Corvina stepped onto the terrain behind Gabriel and took a deep breath of her homeplanet's air. It had been months since she'd been home. A great upheavel of emotions stirred within her.*

Mon Jan 31, 2011 8:32 pm by Gabriel Solomon

"Are you ok Corvina?" *I asked, regaining control of myself. I steady my breathing and my heart rate with a simple meditation excercise.*

Mon Jan 31, 2011 8:35 pm by Corvina

*She nodded and smiled over at him*

It's just so good to be home

Mon Jan 31, 2011 8:50 pm by Gabriel Solomon

*I look at her questioningly.* "I thought you've never been here before... Sorry, you're right. It's good to be home... I just..."

Mon Jan 31, 2011 8:56 pm by Corvina

Just what?

*She stepped closer and squeezed his shoulder lightly*

Tue Feb 01, 2011 11:29 am by Gabriel Solomon

*I placed my hand over hers and sighed. Somewhere on this planet is where my family had been killed. The memois, repressed for years were slowly seeping back into my mind.* "I think I need to go back to where they were killed..."

Tue Feb 01, 2011 5:01 pm by Corvina

*She nodded silently. She understood what he meant. She was almost tempted to go see the remains of her family's farm, but knew that there was nothing there but ashes now.*

Tue Feb 01, 2011 5:43 pm by Gabriel Solomon

"Maybe..." *I hesitated, considering my words. Part of my wished to stay away from the past, only look to the future... However. I felt as if I needed closure, I felt as if I needed to pay my respects...* "Maybe... We should go to where we lost our families. I don't know why... But maybe it will offer us some peace..." *I say squeezing her hand.*

Tue Feb 01, 2011 7:15 pm by Corvina

I think that would be a good idea...

*She stepped nearer him. All of the sudden, she felt so small. Being back here, back home, felt too unreal. It seemed like just yesterday that she'd been taken from this place, and now, now she was back.*

Tue Feb 01, 2011 7:42 pm by Gabriel Solomon

*I sense her insecurities wrapped in her sorrow. I turn and take her hands, pulling her into a hug. My arms wrap around, embracing her. My own inner demons, fears, sorrows and regret over the death of my family mixed with her emotions. But I felt lighter somehow because I had her. I was no longer alone. I could come back to my home because I had someone... I had aa family and soon others will come and they will join the family and we will protect each other...*

Tue Feb 01, 2011 7:44 pm by Corvina

*Corvina smiled against his neck as she hugged him back. Her fears and sorrows did not dissapear, but they became a bit lighter. With Gabriel at her side, she knew she need not fear anything*

Wed Feb 02, 2011 5:57 pm by Gabriel Solomon

*Still in her arms I squeeze her lovingly before asking* "So... where do we go first?"

Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:14 pm by Corvina

Well...thats up to you. Are you...are you ready to visit where your...?

*She pulled back enough to look at him*

Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:19 pm by Gabriel Solomon

*As she pulled back to look at me I stared at her, I staed into her being and found comfort and strength.* "Yes... Yes we can go back there... I do not think it is far... We can walk. I could use the fresh air and there is something to be said for having the ground of your homeworld under your feet... I suppose... I guess I should tell you the story of what happened while we walk there..."
