Hours of countless struggle, pain and darkness, it seemed the planet had tested them all. Oren and his companions had faced their darkest fears and passions within the cave systems in Ifrane, they saw the worst parts of themselves, and were confronted and forced to make a decision. Oren himself had battled with this reality, but came to understand his own failures as a Jedi, and the problems that he would have to make better if we wanted to become a better person and teacher. The group would then find themselves within the valley that lead towards the ancient temple, unknown to them that Max's group would cause the valley to roar of life, reviving the old systems of exploitation that destroyed this planet.
They had taken their lumps then, Xander had his legs crushed in the weight of it all, but Oren promised he would make sure all of his students made it free. He lost his saber and scorched his hands saving that boy, and when he had little to nothing left, he used everything he could to save Izel from a near death fall. His body was broken and sore and he had to do everything he could to keep himself up.
As the small band of his group walked into the Temple, they would feel a rush of light come through them, all of this struggle was for this. Oren would place Xander down, checking on the boy and his wounds. He was stable, but he wondered if the boy would be able to walk again. With a heavy sigh, he would look towards Izel with soft eyes, "I'm sorry for bringing you here..as your master, I should have expected this, yet I brought us here blindly and now you've all paid the price."
His eyes would shift at the sound of footsteps approaching from an opposite hall, he caught the glimpse of just Max alone, "Are you...the only one left?" His heart slightly dropped at the thought of the other two expiring within the elements, and it only left the Knight more confused and struggling with the consequences of bringing these students here.
