It had been many months since Ori had walked into the temple to begin his training. But it was over now and while he waited, sat on the steps of the temple, to meet with Max, he found himself reflecting on his time with the Jedi so far. He had not known what to expect at the beginning but he got his answer quickly. There was learning to be done, and a lot of it.
Besides the hours spent training, which Ori had not found too difficult since he had always been athletic and even moreso now, there was just as many hours, if not more, spent in lectures.
There were teachings on a dizzying array of topics, from the general, there was teachings about the wider galaxy and its history, political science, the study of different cultures and their practices, from the widespread to the most obscure. Then there were the Jedi specific teachings, such as studying the Force, both its practical applications aswell as its mysterious and esoteric nature. Many debates were had about the nature of the Force, its meaning and purpose, but Ori largely avoided them, he didn't have a clue.
Ori had found the experience quite overwhelming initially. From a background with no formal schooling, what the instructors expected of him was quite the culture shock. But he had perserved and got through it, despite having gone to sleep some nights doubting his own abilities. Meditation was one of the few things that Ori found easier, he had took to it quite quickly and soon found himself meditating often outside of the mandatory sessions. It helped him to keep his mind on the present, and more importantly, off his regret of the past and his anxiety about his future.
As he snapped out of his day dream, he spotted Max in the distance, approaching the temple and walked out to meet him. Ori was excited about today and eager to get going.
Today was the day Ori got his lightsaber crystal.
"Good to see you." Ori said with a smile.
