When it came to Ossus, the Jedi's history with the Outer Rim planet was long and nothing short of complicated. Not to mention bloody. Jesper would know. He'd sat through not one but two history classes today. On top of that, he had somehow managed not to fall asleep in either. Maybe there really was a first time for everything.
Thousands of years ago, the Jedi stored the sum of their knowledge upon the planet. Countless Jedi had met their end and become one with the force here, and the Jedi Temple had been reduced to nothing more than ash and rubble more than once. The Great Sith War, the Yuuzhan Vong War, the third Jedi Purge... Some were legends, some were fact. All meant that the planet held untold secrets.
More importantly than that, untold treasures.
It was no secret that Jesper was failing a few of his classes. For a little extra credit, one of his teachers allowed him to help out in the temple with various projects. The largest of these ongoing projects was a complete reorganization of the Jedi library on Ossus. All of Jesper's free time was begrudgingly spent amongst books and librarians older than the temple itself. It was a last ditch effort to improve his grades that was only partially successful, but it did result in an interesting discovery.
A leather-bound book—or journal, rather. Tucked away behind a shelf, torn and dusty and completely forgotten by the temple's attendants and students. The writer was a young and eager Knight signed Skip. One entry in particular proved interesting. Skip's Master had been slain by an unnamed Sith, and Skip had personally buried him "atop the mountain, with all of the treasures he had amassed."
There were unintentional clues to this burial location scattered through the journal entries, and like any good treasure hunter Jesper had enlisted the help of a partner.
Seated beneath a Dbergo tree outside of the Jedi Temple, Jesper waited for him, eager to start this little adventure of theirs before nightfall. He let out a quiet sigh, watching the wind push through the tree's long, overhanging red fronds.
