It had only been a few days since Teran had first come to the Jedi-held world of Ifrane, and in that time, he'd begun to feel a bit overwhelmed. On Taris, the world had felt large, but he'd learned how to navigate it, but when the Jedi Knight had appeared on his doorstep, it shoved him into a galaxy that was far larger than even a single urban planet.
Suddenly, his entire view of the galaxy was being challenged, and doors he'd never realized existed were opened. The teaching of the Jedi were complex and ripe with moral conundrums and philosophies that stretched his mind constantly. How was he ever supposed to take all this in?
His studies had begun with a book called Treatise on the Light and Dark written by a Master Ingordum, and within 30 minutes, Teran had fallen asleep face first on the book. When he'd been jolted awake by approaching footsteps, he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, took a drink of his Red Rancor, and thanked his lucky stars that he hadn't drooled on the pages.
His next stop was a book called On the Nature of the Force, and this one he actually found more interesting. Over the course of two days, he had devoured its contents, and although he was fairly sure he missed large swaths of it, felt like he had begun to grasp something about the Force beyond just moving rocks (which he still seemed to be unable to accomplish despite multiple attempts to levitate books to his somewhat lazy hands).
The library had been quiet for hours, and Teran had no idea what time of day it was deep underground. And that was where this story began. Day three began with another attempt at Treatise on the Light and Dark, and Teran was, once again, asleep....
On the verge of snoring, he began to dream about great battles of the past as described in the Jedi texts. Jedi and Sith faced off against one another in brutal duels, and Teran felt a mixture of warmth and cold that seemed to rush over him in waves before a loud whisper jolted him awake and upright. He glanced around to see whether anyone had seen him sleeping on the job, and ran a hand through his hair as he let out a heavy sigh. @Painus
