~Ossus! Ena had hardly even known such a planet existed a few days ago, but after numerous with her auspiciously met friends on Coruscant, Ena’s view of the universe had been expanded. When it had been suggested that Ena visit Ossus, the girl was hesitant; but Bianca had insisted that as the current headquarters of the Jedi order, the planet was not only much calmer than Coruscant, but worth a visit. Having nothing better to do, Ena bought a ticket and got on the next shuttle leaving for Ossus. Her parents had wanted her to see more of the Universe, certainly they would approve of this trip.~
~Almost the instant Ena’s shuttle left the atmosphere of Coruscant, she felt better. Ever since she had set foot on the city-planet she had been beleaguered with the thoughts and emotions of all of the minds within her ‘hearing’ the force ran through Ena like a current, and when the tide came in it brought everything since Ena’s 13th birthday it had always been like this, but no one, not even her family had missed the switch from the naturally timid child to the constantly anxious teen she had become because of her – unknown – and natural empathy. Outside of Coruscant, the pressure of thousands of minds dimmed to the few present with her in the shuttle. There were only ten, and that was counting the pilots. Ena’s body relaxed automatically and she snuggled into the seat, curling into the tiniest space possible. With one wary glance at the other passengers in the shuttle, she let her mass of straight black hair form a curtain over her porcelain face and fell asleep.~
“Attention Passengers: We are now entering the atmosphere of Ossus. Welcome to Ossus and we hope you have enjoyed your flight!”
~The voice over loudspeaker coaxed Ena from sleep. She stretched and gathered her small suitcase –containing mostly clothes and a few snacks – from a nearby compartment before scooting towards a window to gaze at the planet below. It was beautiful – not, perhaps, the same kind of beautiful as her home on Naboo, but pretty all the same. Ena much preferred the luch greenery of Ossus to the skyscrapers of Coruscant. As the shuttle descended into the planet’s atmosphere and then docked on the planet’s surface, a steady aura of calm permeated Ena’s own emotions, growing as she took her first few steps onto the planet. Ena tried to be anxious, tried to be frightened but simply couldn’t. The peaceful aura of Ossus – no doubt caused by the strong Jedi presence on the planet - was a smothering blanket, burying Ena’s natural reactions – which of course only caused to create more anxiety that she couldn’t express.~
~Before the teenager knew it she was standing in front of the main entrance to the great temple. Beside her, other –certainly non-sensitive – tourists were following a droid on a short tour of the Jedi Headquartes; but Ena couldn’t find it in her to go with them. The calming aura pervading her thoughts was making it hard to concentrate on anything –and Ena’s will wasn’t very strong to begin with. She was drawn, inexplicably, closer to the front entrance - the living force pouring through her like a raging river overflowing its banks, and Ena powerless to stop it and ignorant of it. To a force user, her presence would appear as a backwards hurricane – a large aura of tranquility with a ferocious storm of anxiety in the center. Certainly she had been guided here by the will of the Force itself, regardless of her ignorance of it.~
