"Yes, I sense it.. But it may be another Jedi.. Some of them had a stron connection to the Force. Either way, I sent him a message via Force, telling him to come to the Dining Hall. We'll find out who it, for sure, soon enough. " Quarren mused, answering the question as well. After that an air of expectancy hung in the air and Quarren called for some muja drinks, one for everyone that didn't have one already, plus one for Ravion.

((APY, welcome back, no, this is a different dinner. Actually more of a gathering. Knightstemplar's character Ravion was the Grand Master before me.))

Kaimelar suddenly grew quiet in the conversation with the other Jedi. He, too, had felt the presence, but he knew who it was.
Slowly, reverently, expectantly, the elf rose from his seat to face the door.
A hush fell over all in the Dining Hall.
Kaimelar idly waved his hand over table behind him, conjuring a silver goblet full of wine. Lifting it gently from the table, he slowly began to approach the door, stopping some ten steps from it. Everyone watched the door and waiting expectantly.

Ravion heard Quarren's invite through the Force and it reverberated within his mind.

The dining hall... Of course, where else?! LOL!

Walking down the halls, he felt the life of the Temple again, yet he also felt as if he were a stranger here. Something was different. There were not as many students running about. There were extra halls. The archives of course were in prime condition, he noticed as he walked by them on the way to the dining hall.
He stood just out of the door's sensors and then stepped forward as they swooshed to announce hiss presence and confirm what they had felt.

He bows and wishes them, "May God be with you. May the Force flow strongly as well. I have returned."

He lifts his head from his bow and smiles one of his large warm smiles. Yet his eyes seem darker then they were before he had left. Some light within had dimmed for some unseen reason.

Quarren sipped from his cup as he looked at the door expectantly, hoping what he sensed was true.
To put it simply, it was.
"Yes, you have. Welcome back. " Quarren smiled at the previous Grand Master, glad that he has returned. But there was something.. something different about his eyes. It was on the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn't place it. It was something about his eyes. That's for sure..

((Well where is everybody?))

Ravion takes his old seat which sat empty in honour of his absence and in hope of his return. He motioned for all to be seated and began to tell them this story about what happened while he was away:

"I left suddenly from the temple. Perhaps too suddenly and too soon. I was not prepared to go it alone. Yet I felt I had to. From here I left in my modified Jedi starfighter to the planet of Dagobah, where I had planned to discover its secrets of the Force myself. However the power there is dark.

One day, I was travelling along a rocky path without any gear save my lightsaber. I noticed a river with several pieces of an old Rebellion era X-wing and tread marks of an R2 unit. Following the path they created, I found a hut. It seemed too small for any human to live in and immediately it dawned on me that ol' master Yoda lived here. Thus I setup my camp again there in his home.

That night I felt a strange disturbance in the Force. It felt as if the winds were rustling my thoughts about. I couldn't focus on anything but following them. I left the hut and found a cave a long ways away. The darkness of it did not scare me, yet the power of the darkside burned deep within it. The cave was somehow bound to the darkness.

Curious to discover the source, I enterred. I dare not reveal what I saw within, for its images still haunt me to this day."

In Ravion's mind images of a great warrior and dark lord appear. A figure which bears Ravion's blade and his cloak as well. It is the darkside version of himself, one which he fears may come true. His greatest fear in fact.

"That day I faced my greatest fear and proved to myself that I can avoid and overcome it. The fear taught me my true powers there. I learned a new lightsaber technique from it which I shall call: Hyanda en Alu or Water Blade. It is akin to a fast moving form of Tai Chi done in water. Only the water in this case is the Force itself and one pushes the Force with each stroke. I shall teach you all in good time."

Ravion grabs a spare plate and uses the Force to gently pick-up and pull several items of food to himself. An orange, a large steak, and some mixed vegetables. As he adjusts his lightsaber blade to form a thin knife, he brings the orange up. Igniting the blade he then begin to use it to peel the orange, as he uses the Force to spin the orange around. He uses his other hand to eat the mixed steaming, sauteed vegetables with his fork. They are delicious and it seems as if he had not eaten in a long while.

Quarren nodded, fascinated by the story. But he had to wonder.. What could this great Jedi Master's worst fear?
Probably turning to the dark side..
The Jedi Knight sipped his muja juice, watching Ravion eat. Fingering his own saber knife, Quarren looked down at his two lightsabers. They were somewhat curved, and modified to form Quarren's grip, and could be connected to make a staff saber, like the one the old Sith Knight, Darth Maul, used. And the Ventress Knight. Quarren looked up from his lightsabers, and took another sip of muja juice. The sweet juice tasted good at this time, and it also quenched his mild thirst in the back of his throat. Taking another sip, he wondered about the created form, possibly form eight.

Mere sat in silence as she listened to the Jedi Master's story, not at all sure how to respond to his speech. The new lightsaber form sounded interesting; she would look forward to learning more about it and perhaps using it in battle should she choose to do so. As for the rest of what he had said, she merely nodded in assent. She knew a fair amount about such matters, having experienced similar things during her time away. In the end, she settled for taking a sip of water and another bite of her fruit, waiting for somebody else to speak.

Ravion continues eating. ((I actaully just ate at Malibu Grill and am stuffed. I had french fries and a Philly cheesesteak, with like three Pibb Xtras)). He finishes his meal and leans back in his chair whilst manipulating the Force to get him something to drink. He pulls the cup to his hand and lifts it to his mouth, taking a long smooth drink of whatever it is that they had at the table. The liquid was semi-frozen, deep red, and tasted like strawberries raised off of sugar cane.

He smiled and sighed, "I missed you guys you know. I missed this place too. Tell me how each of you have been doing. What's been going on around here since I've been gone?"

Ferus sat eating the food at the table, knowing not what to say. Wondering who Ravion really was. What his story was. ((I did read your post morvaltur, that was purely in character. Just making sure no one went to the trouble of reexplaining for me. I'm really glad to be here, thanks guys.))

Mere smiled and leaned forward slightly at the question, looking over at Ravion. "Those of you who have already heard this will have to forgive the repetition. I'm sure you remember, Master Ravion, my rather sudden departure a couple years ago. After that departure, I travelled far and wide, learning and growing and changing a lot. I always longed to return to the Temple, but it was not possible. The will of the Force is sometimes mysterious, however, and the Force moves in strange and unexpected ways. I woke up one morning and sensed that the barriers preventing my return to the Temple had suddenly disappeared, and I hastened back. Seeing as how I arrived but shortly before you, I fear I cannot be of much help in the matter of what has happened recently." Having finished speaking, she sat back in her chair and took a sip of her water. There was more that could be said, but she had covered the important points.

"Well, I guess I'll say hello." Ferus thought. Ferus leaned forward and said, "Hello Master Ravion, my name is Ferus, welcome back to the temple. I can't tell you much, since I just got here, but I'd like to hear more about you."

Kaimelar returned to the table with Ravion and offered him the cup of wine. "I am glad you are back, my Master. I returned to the Temple shortly after Mere did. I had actually been here for quite some time, nearly since you left, but had been making small trips offworld occassionally. Not much has changed since you left, though we are attempting to bolster attendance and put out more information about our good order. I would be most interested in this new form of yours as well. Would you care to teach it to us? I would gladly put your lesson into a Temple-wide assembly."

((APY, that's awesome. I love it. Is it for Sigs, I assume? Can you do it with other saber hilts? Out of curiousity, can you make other stuff like that? I may have a job for you that would eventually comprise part of your Knighthood trials. But, first you need to train with your Master.))

"Perhaps later, my friend. However, I would like to meet with the remaining members of the Jedi Council first. Please join me there later?" he said as he took the wine and drank it thankfully. Ravion stood up from the table, bowed, and left briskly. He didn't take time to notice the maintenance droid cleaning the cobwebs across the way.

The elevator shaft was dusty and seemed to be the most ancient part of the temple. Clearing the debris, Ravion presses the control panel's switch and it jets up to the top of the temple tower. The view was just as amazing as always. Clear vistas of the murals on the temple walls and the garden, which is the most taken care of part of the temple. The gardens were just as beautiful as he remembered with their golden flowers and crystal clear waterfalls which fell into pure lagoons. The green hills alongside the rivers were lush and still kept natural, yet well taken care of.

The Council doors towered in front of Ravion as he steps out of the elevator. With a push of the Force, the doors swooshed open. Ravion enterred to the middle of the room. He called up a small silver orb from the floor and suspended it in the middle of the room. Ravion sat on his old chair. A puff of dust rises from its cushion causing him to cough. Seems like dust really accumulates in two years...

Seeing Ravion get up and leave rather suddenly, Mere called out a question to his retreating back. "Should I be at that Jedi Council meeting? As I recall, I was on the Council before I left, but I'm not certain what my status is now..."

Master Ravion responded to Mere's question, "Yes. Please join us." Before he continued to the council room.
Nodding in acknowledgement, Mere hastily gulped down the rest of her water before rushing off to the Council room, once again reminded of how glad she was to be back at the Temple.

Kaimelar rose from the table. "Of course, Master. It will be done. I'm not sure how many of the old Masters will be able to attend, but we will meet."
Kaimelar watched Ravion walk away and then turned to Quarren, motioning him closer. The elf stepped up to Quarren and spoke into his ear, "Meet me us in the Council chamber. I don't remember offhand if you attended in the past, but you will attend now, my friend."
The elf then turned back to the other Jedi assembled. "My friends, I thank you all for gathering here tonight. I look forward to a bright and illustrious future of growth with you all. The Council is being convened. Those of you who wished to speak with me, I'm afraid I will have to postpone our meetings. Please, send me a comlink message and I will meet with you as soon as possible. Farewell for now. Enjoy the food!"
With those words, Kaimelar turned and made his way to the Council room where he was sure Ravion, Mere, and Quarren were waiting.
