_ Byron was the last to follow. To be frank, he was worse off going last. There was something uneasy about following the rest of the group, treading on a path already beaten by their soft footsteps. Blazing the trail was far easier than following it. In all areas of life. Uneasily, he took...

_ “Haruun Kal would never have happened if you had some urgency, master,” he said, rising out of his seat like some undead corpse ascending out of its grave. “Had we acted with urgency, we wouldn’t have ended up in that mess.” A quick pat down of his robes and a brief look-over at his master...

_ Finally, an opportunity. Byron watched as the young woman made her exit. Though, almost comedically, he had been dragged back into this awful room with menial pleasantries. He smiled at the new arrival, “Byron. It’s my pleasure,” he said, sparing her with a small wave of his dominant hand...

_ For most of the walk, Byron had stayed silent. Left alone to his thoughts, one of which was quite dominantly standing on top of the rest, carrying most of his attention. Disgust, and discouragement. Honestly, he thought of himself as quite a resilient individual, but every step into this...

_ “Good,” he said, challengingly. “Because neither do I.” There was something calming about mirroring yourself with someone else. It put them both on equal footing, sweeping any history and titles aside. Just a couple of students, eager to learn. He replied to the padawan’s reasoning, “Makes...

_ His master’s harsh words were not an uncommon occurrence, so he brushed it off with a roll of the eyes. He thought it strange that he was under the control of another who had no control of themselves to begin with. Just as Byron was rash, impatient, so was Oren. They were two sides of the...

_ Oh how enticing it was to let your mind drift. If he hadn’t been almost mechanically sorting through the seaweed, he would have been lost. The harsh winds of Lothal, the sand like bullets spraying against your skin. “That makes sense. Sometimes I forget that Ajan Kloss is just as much of a...

_ He hadn’t realised how intense the situation would be. In his mind, it would have been a quick ‘How is he?’ whilst an unconscious Oren slept through his recovery. Just a quick check-up to soothe his own conscious. A heavy heart had caused tragedy to even the mightiest of heroes. He didn’t...

_ Byron deactivated his saber at the Blood Carver’s exit request. He simply nodded, replying, “You may leave, padawan.” To cement his statement, he threw his saber over his shoulder until only the clinking of the hilt hitting the containment unit of other sabers could be heard. “Seek counsel...

_ It wasn’t often that Byron would find a student waiting for him. Punctuality had become almost a mantra for him, a prayer that he would utter every morning. It was something that he felt had been built into him like an implant. Artificial, but still, it was there. (His competitiveness was...

_ 127 ABY // BURNIN KONN Burnin Konn had been plagued by the syndicates for decades, particularly due to the illegal mining operations surrounding the planet’s precious minerals. Locals had been forced into both slave trade and harsh mining environments in order to keep local crime bosses...

_ When he had first received the news of Oren’s fate, he had immediately assumed the worst. Vignettes of a past life echoed throughout his mind of their tumultuous times together. Frankly, he had almost forgotten to listen to the next sentence – that he was alive, had successful prosthetic...

_ Again, her enthusiasm was infectious. “I only know as much as my mother,” he says, eyes lit up with the sparks of his homeworld. “So if you think I’m impressive, you should see her.” Anyone that had known Byron long enough would know that his roots were as important to him as his future. His...

_ “You knew what I meant,” he says, midstep. Death wasn’t going to be taken lightly, particularly deaths caused by a couple of vigilantes. No matter how many cases the thieves had on their records. Not only was it a crime, but it was also a mockery of the authority. Both, the Jedi Order did not...

_ They always used that line. Emotion, yet peace. It was the easiest part of the Jedi Code to abuse as an excuse to justify an outburst. And Byron would know all too well, for he was its biggest exploiter during his tumultuous days as a padawan. (I was in control, he would say. Everything I did...
