TYTHON
c. 1,011 ABY
It had been just under two months since the destruction of the temple on Coruscant - and Rorik was slowly coming to love Tython. Ever strong in the Force - at the cost of any real dueling prowess - he felt at home; Tython, the birthplace of the Jedi Order centuries ago, was the most spiritually invigorating planet Rorik had ever been to - the very soil, it seemed, was rich with the Force. To breathe was to take in energy; to exhale was to contribute. Despite the recent loss of his master - not to mention some dear friends - and the abrupt, perhaps permanent relocation, Rorik was oft at peace on Tython.
He reflected, doing his best to be introspective, perched atop a great boulder at the mouth of a thirty foot waterfall. He maintained his breathing quietly, his eyes tracing the length of the flowing river, dissolving neatly into a series of rapids and carving a path out of view on the horizon. He was, perhaps, a quarter mile from the temple, and he had journeyed here on foot; with few friends here on Tython, Rorik spent his time one of two ways: training or exploring. Without a class being held any time soon - aside from Shii-Cho practice, which interested the boy very little - he had opted for the latter choice and set himself off in a particularly random direction.
His mind wandered, and he raised his hand, a half-dozen pebbles and stones hurtling towards his upturned palm. He wiggled his fingers gently and the rocks began to rotate in a neat, orderly circle. Rorik closed his eyes and simply let the energy ebb and flow through his being, wholly unaware of any intruders in his immediate vicinity.
