When he had told his Jedi Master that he needed a break from the Jedi he had expected more pushback. She had actually encouraged it. After a lecture of "You need to figure out what you want your path to be," she handed him some credits and a communicator. He wanted her to stop him, tell him he...

Kalen's Master had always enjoyed sending him and her other fellow students and seemingly wild goose chases across the Galaxy. Sometimes they were given a lot of information about what they were being sent to find, other times they had been given next to nothing. This time was one of the latter...

He turned as she stirred. "I suppose you're right," he said, smile turning up a grin. "My head feels like its going to split open," he said, even the relatively quiet sound of their voices sending waves of pain through his head and down his spine. "But I'll live," he said, kneeling down beside...

Kalen was aware of Larana talking, but he words didn't make much sense. He was out again before he could realize he didn't understand her. He drifted in and out of consciousness, it all blurring together in a jumbled mess. His eyes flickered open what must have been sometime later. There was a...

The early morning sun on Ajan Kloss was blinding. Kalen was already drenched in sweat. His new Jedi Master had awoken him before the sun came up and made him run. They came into the clearing where another Padawan was already standing. "Kalen, I want you meet my other Padawan. Both of you will be...

He heard her struggle with the door, but couldn't seem to find the will to open his eyes. The temperature was dropping rapidly, though Kalen didn't much notice. "I'm fine." he muttered as she wondered off. His mind drifted off, fading in and out of consciousness. Dreams and reality seemed to...

She looked like she moved a bit easier when she finally rose from the chair. He lay his head back against the cold bulkhead of the ship, feeling drained. "Hrm?" he responded when she asked after his head wound. It took him a second to catch back up with the question. "Oh, I am sure its fine." he...

With a sudden surge of the Force, the top crate he had been hiding behind flew backward. Kalen quickly ducked down and to the side. He couldn't help but feel like he may have just himself in over his head. He drew his lightsaber but didn't ignite it for the time being. He stood in hiding for...

"I don't." he admitted when she asked what planet they were on. "I could make a pretty reasonable guess if we could get any of the ship's systems up." he said with a shrug. Not that it really mattered if they didn't have communications, which they didn't. They did have supplies, though if they...

"I'll make sure I write up instructions for next time." he said with a slight grin before setting off in his task. He was poking around a dead panel when he spotted her lifting her shirt to examine her bruises. He looked down, feeling a pang of awkwardness. Kalen was sure she would try and hide...

Out the darkness he heard a faint voice like it was down a long tunnel. Words didn't make much sense to him, but the voice was familiar. His mind slowly started to stir from unconsciousness. Larana would find him still in the jump seat, slumped against the restraints. Kalen groaned slightly...

He took in a deep breath, forcing himself to hold the smoke-tinged air in his lungs as he reached over and wrapped his hands around a pipe. Seconds later the air was violently expelled from the chamber, various tools or other items that weren't bolted down slamming into him as they were pulled...

He grabbed the extinguisher and tool bag as he moved down the hallway quickly, flashing red emergency lights illuminating the smoke-filled corridor. Kalen jumped down the maintenance hatch and began crawling down the service corridor that ran alongside the fuel lines. Something flashed in front...

A conduit shot sparks near Kalen's face as he entered the cockpit which was already filling with smoke. He reached out a hand and stumbled forward feeling his way towards the pilot's chair. He bumped into her briefly before finding the panel he was looking for. With a couple of button pushes...

The ship lurched slightly as they pulled out of hyperspace. He was glad for the trip to be over. He wasn't sure how anyone traveled for long distances in fighters like this. He would never complain about his Master's old busted freighter again. He briefly scanned the area for anything that...
