VII. Biography
Background:
Born amid Coruscant’s gray pulse and raised within the Order from youth, Amara Noxstarr was shaped by friction: between silence and motion, legacy and uncertainty. While her sister Kleya anchored herself in stillness, Amara resisted it—until Master Jasmin taught her that silence, too, could act. From Taris to Voss, she became a quiet constant—not the blade, but the still edge just before it. Her saber, like her voice, speaks sparingly. Now named Jedi Master not for victories, but for what she carries and refuses to forget, Amara leads others not toward clarity—but toward the space where clarity may one day arrive.

IX. Episodes
🪐 Galactic Context:
The Treaty of Coruscant brought peace in name only. While the Republic staggers to its feet, the Jedi Order has withdrawn to Tython, where old stones and older silences test the mettle of its youngest. For Amara Noxstarr, raised in the noise of Coruscant’s mid-rises, stillness feels more like suffocation than serenity.
📘 Narrative:
✧ Her knees ached from stillness long before the vine cat came. Amara sat cross-legged in the grove, eyes half-lidded, spine too straight for comfort. The Force pulsed under her skin—coiled, restless, caged by breath and ritual. Beside her, Kleya radiated a quiet focus that felt like judgment. Master Jasmin’s voice floated through the circle, liquid and slow, as if serenity were something you could pour. Amara’s fingers hovered near her saber. She wanted to run. To move. To matter. Her father’s final words echoed in her chest: “Bring light where you can. But don’t wait to be asked.” The wind shifted. Then the underbrush snapped.
✧ The cat lunged. Its roar split the air like a blade without metal. Amara didn’t think. She moved. Her saber flared to life, white-blue and sharp, casting shadows across the terrified faces of her peers. She stepped between the beast and a younger initiate frozen in place, feet braced, blade raised. The first strike sent a jolt through her arms. It was instinct—pure, fierce, and whole. Behind her, Kleya’s voice rose—a chant, slow and resonant, the kind that made fear pause just long enough to feel its own shape. Amara held the line. The Masters arrived moments later, tranquilizers hissing, the air thick with aftershock. As the grove stilled, Amara’s pulse didn’t. And still, the question gnawed: Had she acted to protect… or to prove she could?
✧ That evening, they sat before Master Jasmin under a silver-etched moon. “You were brave,” the Master said, voice even. “But courage without clarity can be dangerous.” Amara nodded, jaw locked, eyes fixed on the earth. Kleya sat silent beside her, hands folded, unreadable. Amara wanted to ask if she’d done the right thing. Instead, she whispered, “Would you have waited?” Kleya didn’t flinch. “I would have listened first.” The words cut deeper than they should have. That night, Amara lay in the dormitory with her eyes wide open, breath tight, saber hilt clutched beneath her pillow. She wasn’t afraid of monsters. She was afraid of becoming one.
✧ She trained harder the next morning. Not to strike faster—but to hold longer. She studied Jedi Watchmen—Guardians who wielded presence as shield, not sword. During drills, her movements became precise. Deliberate. Less fire, more form. Kleya noticed. Didn’t speak, but stood closer during sparring. Their bond began to shape itself not in similarity, but in tension—fluid, electric, necessary. Instructors started calling them the current and the stone. Amara wore the name like armor. But sometimes at night, she still heard the growl of the cat. And she wondered—not what she could’ve done differently—but whether doing something had really been enough.
✧ Days later, she was sent on a solo observation patrol—her first. The path wove through mossy groves near the ancient Forge. Snowy, her loth-cat, padded beside her, alert and silent. Amara didn’t grip her saber. She listened. To birdsong. To leaf-rustle. To her own breath slowing. A tremor startled a flock—but she didn’t move. Didn’t reach for power. Just felt. And for the first time, that was enough. When she returned, Kleya waited with tea in hand, gaze steady. They didn’t speak. Just sat, shoulder to shoulder. No fire. No fear. Just presence. And still, the silence between them held something like trust.
📓 Personal Log: “Learning the Stillness” | Tython, 3643 BBY
"I moved before I thought. It felt right. It felt real. But right doesn’t always mean ready. Kleya listens—waits. I used to think that made her slow. Now I think it makes her stronger. Master Jasmin says the Force speaks in silence. I’m trying to hear it. Maybe stillness isn’t what you stop. Maybe it’s what you become."
🪐 Galactic Context:
The galaxy reels from Ziost’s devastation—a wound torn open not by war, but by silence. On Coruscant, fear drips into the underlevels like a leak no one can seal. Assigned her first urban patrol, Padawan Amara Noxstarr returns not as a child of these streets—but as their guardian. Yet she can’t shake the feeling: presence without clarity might not be peace.
📘 Narrative:
✧ The lower levels still smelled like memory—ozone, coolant, and something sharper beneath. Amara adjusted the edge of her robe as she walked beside Master Jasmin, pulse high despite the quiet. Sector 212 had once been home, but now it felt alien—thinner, harsher, like the shadow of Ziost had reached even here. She wasn’t sure if the unease was from the people… or from what they’d lost. Jasmin’s voice earlier had been soft: “Be seen. But don’t command.” Amara tried. But her muscles twitched, every step a war between stillness and readiness. She could feel her saber’s weight at her belt like a question. And still, she hadn’t decided if she was the one meant to answer it.
✧ The tremor came suddenly—metal shrieking, then smoke. A walkway overhead collapsed with a howl, sending debris cascading like stars torn from orbit. Amara moved before orders reached her—saber lit, boots skidding over duracrete. She pushed the Force forward, catching a collapsing strut mid-air. Beneath it, a family huddled—eyes wide, breath caught. Her stance widened. Her pulse narrowed. Jasmin appeared seconds later, augmenting the shield she’d started, calm as breath. Amara didn’t look at her. Couldn’t. Her limbs burned with the strain of motion made too fast. The rubble settled. The street went silent. And still, no one spoke.
✧ The debrief took place not in a war room, but in a quiet archival alcove beneath carved reliefs of Jedi long gone. Jasmin sat beside her, voice low. “You saved lives,” she said. “But you also nearly broke the moment.” Amara wanted to argue. But the words caught in her throat. She wasn’t afraid of consequence—she was afraid that hesitation might’ve cost more. “Ziost happened because we waited,” she whispered. Jasmin nodded. “But not everything that moves fast brings salvation.” The thought coiled tight behind Amara’s ribs. She’d studied the Watchmen. Revered them. But even now, she wasn’t sure she could wait the way they had. And still, she didn’t ignite her saber unless it asked her to.
✧ She began to shift—not from fire to water, but to something between. She requested time with CSF med teams, joined refugee supply runs, walked the promenade without armor in her gaze. She listened more. Learned how panic sounded when it was dressed as humor. How fear whispered from those who never raised their voice. One night, a boy stopped her, eyes wide. “Can Jedi cry?” he asked. She didn’t answer with certainty. Just knelt and gave him her ration bar. “Only when it matters.” She returned to the Temple that night with hands scraped but blade untouched. It felt like the hardest battle she’d ever won.
✧ From the rooftop of an old power relay, the city pulsed beneath her like a living Force diagram. She sensed Kleya before she arrived—her calm always entered before her voice. “Still jumping into trouble?” Kleya asked. Amara smirked, but softly. “Still trying to learn when to stop.” They stood in quiet, watching flickers of light move across towers and homes. It wasn’t peace. But it wasn’t war either. And maybe that was enough. Amara didn’t speak again. She just listened—to the city, to her sister, to the part of her that still didn’t know how to be still. And still, she didn’t look away.
📓 Personal Log: “The Edge of Action” | Coruscant, 3636 BBY
"I thought readiness meant moving fast. But now I see that sometimes… presence is the choice. Jasmin says restraint is power shaped by clarity. Ziost taught me what happens when we wait too long. But rushing isn’t peace either. Kleya doesn’t chase. She waits until the moment asks her to act. I’m learning to hear that moment. And when it comes, I’ll be ready—not just to strike. But to stand."
🪐 Galactic Context:
The Eternal Empire’s shadow spreads not through conquest, but collapse. On Nar Shaddaa, entire sectors buckle under the weight of displacement. Padawan Amara Noxstarr is deployed alone—not to fight, but to hold ground where hope flickers thin. But in the smoke and ruin, not all stillness is peace—and not all silence is absence.
📘 Narrative:
✧ The sky above Sector 6 was layered in haze—smoke, neon, and ash that didn’t know which war they’d come from. Amara moved through the crowded walkways with her saber holstered, but her hand always close. Nar Shaddaa pulsed with panic and exhaled desperation. She didn’t belong here. But she did. Her master had sent her alone: “This place won’t test your blade. It’ll test your breath.” She understood what that meant. She just didn’t know if she agreed. A child brushed her sleeve and vanished. A tremor passed through her ribs—not from threat, but from the Force curling just out of reach. Watching. Waiting. And still, she didn’t know if she was meant to act.
✧ The explosion tore through twilight—too close, too fast. Amara’s saber snapped to life before she breathed, white-blue and sharp. She sprinted into smoke, debris cutting at her skin. A mother lay pinned beneath a collapsed awning. Amara lifted it with the Force, shoulders burning. Her eyes flicked to the edges of the plaza. Someone stood there—half in shadow, motionless. Not Sith. Not threat. But known. Their presence in the Force pressed against hers like breath meeting glass. Her fingers tightened on the hilt. One choice. One second. She didn’t make it. She turned away instead. And still, the presence stayed.
✧ She didn’t sleep that night. Sat alone in a corner tent, ribs bruised, saber dim. Kleya found her there—silent, unreadable. Amara almost spoke. Almost asked if she’d seen the figure. If she’d felt that strange twin pull of recognition and warning. But her voice stayed locked behind her teeth. Kleya didn’t press. Just sat. Their silences touched—hers heavy, Kleya’s whole. Amara stared at her saber, wondering if not drawing it had been wisdom… or weakness. And still, she felt the echo of that gaze from the alley’s edge—curious, restrained. Familiar.
✧ At dawn, she helped rewire a junction box near the plaza, her fingers scraped raw. A child she’d seen before reappeared—no words, just a broken glowrod placed at her feet. Amara didn’t ask what it meant. She just sat beside him. The Force didn’t speak. But it didn’t retreat either. It was there—in the closeness, in the rhythm between breaths. She didn’t reach for her saber. She didn’t need to. But still, her eyes tracked the alleyways, the rooftops. Looking. Not for danger. For something that hadn’t left.
✧ The refugees began boarding at dusk. Amara stood with arms crossed as figures moved like ghosts past her. Kleya joined her, presence quiet. Across the plaza, high above, the figure stood again—still, watching. The Force stirred. No aggression. No invitation. Just recognition. And this time, Amara didn’t move. Neither did they. And still… something passed between them. Not peace. Not promise. Just understanding. And the terrible knowledge that silence had power.
📓 Personal Log: “Recognition in Silence” | Nar Shaddaa, 3635 BBY
"I didn’t move. Neither did they. It wasn’t fear. It wasn’t strategy. It felt like a mirror—like they were waiting to see who I’d choose to be. I don’t know if that restraint was strength… or if it’s what lets something darker live longer. Kleya didn’t ask. But I think she knew. She always does. And still, I wonder what would’ve happened… if I’d drawn first."
🪐 Galactic Context:
Ord Talath—once a sanctuary for neutral Force scholars—now lies buried in the glassy wreckage of Zakuulan bombardment. The Jedi have no allies here. No commands. Just remnants, and questions. Amara walks its fractured halls not as a soldier, but as a witness to what destruction leaves behind—and what still calls to be protected, or claimed.
📘 Narrative:
✧ The catacombs pressed in like memory made solid—dust clinging to her boots, the Force dense with things unsaid. Amara moved slowly, breath shallow, her saber unlit but pulsing at her side. Ahead, the shadows bent strangely—like they knew who she was. She felt Kleya behind her, steady as always. But what stirred ahead wasn’t Sith… and wasn’t clean. Two robed figures emerged from the ruin—silent, unmarked. One looked back. Not hostile. Just aware. Amara’s hand brushed her hilt. Her heart didn’t race. It tightened. She didn’t speak. And still, something in her already expected this moment.
✧ The tremor cracked the tunnel like a warning shouted too late. A child’s cry cut through the smoke, and Amara was already running. Debris, flame, blood—she tore through the wreckage, lifted durasteel with a grunt, pulled a father and daughter free. The girl stared at her like she wasn’t sure what kind of Jedi she was. “You’re not like them,” she whispered. Amara didn’t ask who she meant. She already knew. When she turned, the strangers were still watching—still unmoved. And still, the Force buzzed in her bones like a blade she hadn’t drawn yet.
✧ In the vault, they found it—sharp and faintly glowing: a shard of Force-bound crystal, humming with memory and fracture. Amara stepped toward it, but stopped. The Force felt warped, not dark—but twisted, like a scream caught in glass. One of the strangers moved closer. The woman met Amara’s gaze—not with challenge, but with intent. “You don’t know what it can do,” she said. Amara didn’t answer. Didn’t trust words. She stepped back, but her muscles stayed coiled. Her breath was quiet. But inside, she was already choosing what kind of protector she wanted to be. And still, she hadn’t made her decision.
✧ The debate unraveled like a thread pulled too hard. Kleya argued for understanding. The stranger spoke of preservation—of memory too volatile to leave buried. Amara paced. Her fists curled. “This isn’t history,” she said. “It’s danger wrapped in nostalgia.” Then the shard pulsed. Visions struck—Nar Shaddaa in flame, Ziost howling without sound, her own face staring back, blank-eyed and broken. Her knees buckled. Kleya caught her. The stranger reached the shard. Amara rose, breath ragged—she wanted to stop her. Wanted to act. But the fire in the woman’s palm was not rage. It was release. The shard shattered. And still, Amara didn’t know whether that silence had saved them—or fractured something sacred.
✧ Outside, the survivors gathered like echoes, loading onto the battered shuttle with no ceremony. Amara stood by the ramp, jaw tight, watching the strangers fade into the dusk. One lingered—staring at the stars like they expected to be judged. Kleya sat quietly nearby, her silence full of knowing. Amara wanted to ask if she’d been wrong. But she didn’t. What if the only answer was more silence? She looked down at her saber. It had never left her belt. And still, her hands ached with the weight of what she hadn’t done.
📓 Personal Log: “Held in the Pause” | Ord Talath, 3632 BBY
"I didn’t draw. I didn’t act. I waited. And someone else made the call. The shard is gone now. Maybe we’re safer. Maybe we’re more vulnerable than ever. I watched power choose restraint—and I let it happen. Kleya thinks that’s clarity. I’m not sure if I stood for something… or just stood still. And still, I feel the silence echoing in me like a decision I didn’t make fast enough."
🪐 Galactic Context:
By 3630 BBY, the Eternal Empire fractures the galaxy’s structure—not with armies, but with abandonment. With the Jedi Council shattered, young Knights like Amara Noxstarr act without orders, without oversight. On Taris—ravaged by infection and neglect—Amara is no longer a learner. She is the line between ruin and survival. And still, her blade stays sheathed.
📘 Narrative:
✧ The air inside the ruined med-station was thick—more memory than oxygen. Amara stepped through dusted doorways, boots crunching over ration paste and cracked syringes. Her saber stayed at her side, untouched. But her breath? Measured. She and Kleya had no escort. No backup. No Council. Just Force signatures and old oaths. An old man lay against a shattered cot, lips blue. Kleya was already there—hands steady, words soft. Amara knelt beside a boy curled around a broken datapad. The room held more silence than she’d ever felt in war. And still, her pulse whispered: If they come, I will move first.
✧ They came. Boots, six of them. Imperial cadence—clean, heavy, precise. Amara’s hand twitched near her belt, but Kleya didn’t flinch. Neither did the soldiers. No raised weapons. No orders barked. Just that impossible pause. A female officer stepped forward, visor unreadable. “Non-combatants,” she said. “We see that.” Amara didn’t believe it. Not yet. Her saber stayed holstered, but every fiber of her body coiled. If one trigger twitched, she’d strike. But they didn’t. Neither side moved. And still, the tension held like glass—whole, but cracking.
✧ The air didn’t clear. But the moment passed. One soldier lifted a man with fractured ribs—carefully. Another adjusted an evac gurney. Amara moved among them without speaking. Not allies. Not enemies. Just people pretending silence was enough. She laid the boy across a stretcher, brushing ash from his cheek. “We should’ve fought,” she muttered. But Kleya only knelt nearby, gaze distant. Amara didn’t look at her. She didn’t want calm. She wanted answers. And still, she didn’t know why the Imperials hadn’t drawn.
✧ Outside, the wind cut low over the broken district—no cover, no field perimeter. Just wreckage, stillness, and the low whine of emergency sirens. Amara leaned against a crate, spine aching. The boy they’d carried earlier was asleep, her coat wrapped around him. “They had orders,” she said. “To finish containment. Not help.” Kleya didn’t answer. Didn’t need to. Mercy could come from exhaustion. Or disobedience. Or something darker. Amara’s hands trembled—not from fear, but restraint. And still, the stillness felt like a kind of violence they weren’t allowed to name.
✧ The skiff lifted off with a sigh that sounded too much like relief. Amara stood with her arms folded, jaw tight. “We’re Knights now,” she said aloud. Not proud. Not sure. Kleya reached into her satchel and pulled out the child’s datapad—left behind during the rush. A drawing: a Jedi, holding hands with someone in red armor. “Maybe they saw us as more than Jedi,” Kleya said. Amara stared at the image. The datapad dimmed. And still, the silence of what didn’t happen hung heavier than any command.
📓 Personal Log: “The Stillness That Stayed Their Hands” | Taris, 3630 BBY
"I didn’t draw. Neither did they. That shouldn’t have been enough—but it was. We weren’t protected by titles. Just… by choice. Someone chose not to finish the story. I don’t know if it was compassion or exhaustion. I wanted to be ready to fight. But today, restraint wasn’t failure. It was survival. And still, I wonder—if they’d ordered fire, would I have hesitated?"
🪐 Galactic Context:
With the Eternal Empire fallen, scavengers circle what remains. Odessen—a former command center for the Eternal Alliance—becomes battleground not through war, but through memory. Czerka Corporation receives salvage rights to old vaults still humming with Force-tainted tech. Amara Noxstarr is sent not to fight—but to contain. Yet beneath her restraint, the flame still flickers.
📘 Narrative:
✧ The ridge clawed against her robes as wind sliced sideways—dry, sharp, unrelenting. Amara stepped carefully, her breath shallow, each step near the shattered vault a decision not yet made. The air tasted wrong—metallic, pressurized, alive. Kleya moved beside her, quiet as frost. Neither of them spoke. They didn’t need to. The Force was loud enough. Behind them, Czerka agents clattered toward the entrance—curious, hurried, confident. Amara didn’t ask their names. She just entered the vault like a question waiting for consequence. And still, her hand hovered near her saber.
✧ The corridor hummed with power not entirely dead. Each step sounded too long. Each console flickered like it had opinions. Amara knelt beside a fractured relay node—dust vibrating at her touch. “It’s listening,” one tech murmured. “Then it remembers,” Amara replied. Her voice came out flatter than she intended. When Kleya moved ahead, Amara shifted to shield the group—not from weapons, but from whatever the vault might decide to wake. She could feel it. A tension. A readiness. Like memory waiting to defend itself. And still, she couldn’t find the moment that would justify her blade.
✧ The sentries activated in silence. One flicker, one hum, then motion. Gold visors flared, limbs unfolded, and Amara moved—saber flaring into blue light. Sparks flew as her blade collided with alloy. “Fall back!” she barked. The droids didn’t hesitate. Neither did she. Kleya reached forward with a wide Force pulse, stunning one. Amara’s saber hummed louder—ready to end it. But one tech cried, “Wait! One more moment!” Amara froze, blade raised, breath ragged. Her instincts screamed to strike. But she didn’t. And still, she held the line.
✧ The power cut as fast as it had surged. Silence returned like a slap. The vault dimmed. The droids dropped. Amara stood in shadow, saber still humming. Then: off. The Czerka operative collapsed near the console, sobbing quietly. Kleya moved to her, calm and methodical. Amara didn’t follow. She turned instead—staring at the place the sentries had stood. “We had protocols,” she whispered. The other tech met her gaze, unreadable. “So did they.” And still, Amara’s hands trembled—not from failure. From restraint.
✧ Outside, the cold wind tangled in her hair. The Czerka agents boarded their shuttle, datapads full. Amara stood at the cliff’s edge, arms tight across her chest. “We let them take it,” she said. Not with anger. With something quieter. Kleya joined her, silent. The stars over the valley blinked like old warnings. Amara’s saber never left her belt. But her breath… it never fully settled. And still, she wasn’t sure if what they spared would stay asleep.
📓 Personal Log: “Too Late to Strike, Too Early to Trust” | Odessen, 3629 BBY
"I didn’t strike. I shielded. I waited. And the vault went quiet again. But silence doesn’t mean safety. I don’t know what the techs took. I don’t know what it will become. We were told to observe. But I came here ready to act. Kleya believes restraint can guide the Force. I believe sometimes it lets danger walk away. And still, I didn’t stop them. That might be mercy. Or a mistake."
🪐 Galactic Context:
Peace, in the wake of the Eternal Empire’s collapse, has become a performance—maintained by half-truths, hidden directives, and the kind of silence that warns more than it comforts. Task Force Nova dispatches Jedi to old wounds in forgotten systems, where buried transmissions still pulse with intention. On Belsavis—a prison moon layered in glacial tombs and memory—something stirs. And Amara Noxstarr begins to suspect that not every war ends when the weapons go quiet.
📘 Narrative:
✧ The wind howled against the shuttle’s descent, a scream swallowed by frost and faultline. Amara stepped into the white, her boots crunching against glass-laced snow, saber hilt brushing her fingers like a silent reassurance. Beside her, Kleya adjusted her hood with one gloved hand, gaze fixed on the ridge above. The signal they’d come to investigate still whispered through her comm—three pulses, pause, two more. Not distress. A rhythm. A ritual. “It doesn’t sound like a warning,” Amara murmured. Kleya didn’t respond, but her breath slowed in a way Amara recognized: listening. Beneath the ice, the Force felt thick. Coiled. Waiting. And still, the silence didn’t feel safe.
✧ Inside the Sigma-47 control dome, the loop repeated itself, precise and patient. Lights flickered in pattern across the ceiling, blinking like a machine trying to speak without words. Kleya moved to the interface—methodical, precise. Amara didn’t move. She watched. Listened. The console was warm. Recently touched. “This isn’t derelict,” she said. “Someone’s been maintaining it.” Kleya’s fingers stilled. “It’s Alliance code,” she confirmed quietly. Amara’s throat tightened. Not old tech. Not forgotten. A trap—or a message sent sideways. A choice made by someone who still thought silence was strategy. Amara paced once, the dome pressing close around her. And still, the signal pulsed—steady, expectant.
✧ The door hissed open behind them. Two figures entered without urgency—not stealthy, not armed, but precise in their posture. Alliance Intelligence. Kylia spoke first, voice clipped but composed. Raeya didn’t introduce herself. She didn’t have to. Amara could feel it—the discipline, the readiness, the edge of people trained to watch more than they speak. “You’ve been monitoring this,” Amara said, stepping forward. Not a question. Kylia nodded. “We needed to see who still listens.” Her tone held no apology. Kleya’s hand rested lightly on the console, eyes locked to the signal. Amara folded her arms. “You’re baiting ghosts.” Raeya’s gaze flicked toward her, unreadable. “And measuring the living.” And still, no one reached for a weapon.
✧ The signal looped again. Kleya keyed a delay script—sixty hours of pause. A breath. A stall. Not a solution. Amara watched it dim, felt the Force recoil slightly as if insulted by the interruption. She turned to the others. “You’re testing loyalty with echoes,” she said. “Someone’s going to answer that call with a blade.” Raeya tilted her head. “That’s what we’re trying to learn.” It wasn’t defiance. It was doctrine. Amara’s fingers itched. She didn’t draw. Didn’t shout. But her heart thrummed with something closer to grief than fury. Not for what had happened. For what might. And still, no clarity came—only choice.
✧ The ascent back to the surface was slow, frost grinding beneath the repulsorlift as the dome vanished into shadow behind them. Amara stood near the viewport, arms crossed, the delay ticking silently in the background. Kleya watched the horizon without speaking. Kylia and Raeya remained seated apart, quiet. Amara’s voice came low. “That signal wasn’t a warning. It was a threshold.” She didn’t explain. Didn’t need to. Everyone in that transport had stood at its edge. She stared into the ice, wondering who else would follow the next time it called. And still, beneath the quiet, she felt something stir: not threat. Not peace. A fracture held open by design.
📓 Personal Log: "Sixty Hours of Silence" | Belsavis, 3627 BBY
"I thought the Force would tell me when to move. When to speak. But Belsavis didn’t offer danger. It offered ambiguity. I didn’t draw my saber. That used to feel like clarity. Today it just feels like delay. Kleya says silence can be a shield. But sometimes, I think silence is just another kind of blade—one we pretend won’t cut. Sixty hours. That’s all we bought. And still, I wonder what we left waiting."
🪐 Galactic Context:
While Mandalorian clans clash on Ruhnuk and the Order reels from Malgus’s assault on Elom, a deeper rift begins to open—one beneath the surface of the Force itself. Rumors of Darth Nul’s experiments stir in the archives, and even Tython, long untouched, begins to feel the weight of returning memory. Amid these tremors, Knight Amara Noxstarr is assigned a Padawan. She returns to where it all began, uncertain if she has anything left to teach that hasn’t already been broken.
📘 Narrative:
✧ The mist curled low along the temple path, coiling around her boots like breath too long held. Amara moved with deliberate pace, her saber quiet at her hip, her new Padawan trailing three steps behind. Jol Maron. Zabrak. Eager. Unshaped. She should have felt pride—or fear—but instead she felt weight. The trail to the meditation spire wound upward through stone and memory. Birds called somewhere unseen, but their voices felt distant, like echoes from a life she’d already outgrown. Snowy darted ahead through the brush, pale fur blurring into fog. Amara’s fingers brushed the hilt at her belt—not to draw. Just to feel it there. And still, she didn’t speak. Not to Jol. Not to the silence she hoped would answer first.
✧ They paused near an old holostatue—one of the Jedi Watchmen, weathered and worn down to gesture. Jol studied the inscription with quiet reverence. “Did Malgus really destroy a vault with just the Force?” he asked. Amara didn’t flinch. But she looked away. “He didn’t destroy it,” she said. “He revealed it. That’s the difference.” Her voice was low, carved more by experience than belief. She thought of Elom. Of what had stirred beneath the stone. Of Kleya’s silence when they realized what Darth Nul had left behind. Jol said nothing. He didn’t need to. Snowy pressed against her leg, grounding her. The air smelled of damp soil and lessons she wasn’t ready to offer. And still, the question lingered: how do you teach someone not to look too closely?
✧ The sparring circle came later, beneath the canopy where wind moved like memory. Jol’s technique was precise, but hollow. He struck on timing, not intent. Amara parried easily—too easily—and her critique came sharper than she meant. “You’re not fighting me,” she said. “You’re performing.” Jol’s brow creased. He looked down. She caught herself before the next words formed. Too harsh. Too much like how she’d been taught. Her saber lowered. “Again,” she said softly. “But this time, don’t think. Just feel where the blade wants to go.” He nodded and tried again. The clash came softer this time. Unfinished. But honest. And still, she felt the space between them more than the strikes.
✧ They returned to the archives as dusk fell, golden light slanting through glyph-glass. Amara left Jol outside and accessed the restricted records alone. Elom. Nul. Soulbinding. Her fingers trembled slightly as she read—rituals woven not from control, but desperation. There was a line she couldn’t shake: “Memory is more stable when it chooses the vessel.” She downloaded the entry, locking it under her encryption. Not for Jol. Not yet. For herself. She didn’t know if it was knowledge or a warning. But she knew the silence it had come from. She sat there a long time, the archive lights flickering above her like failing stars. And still, the shadows inside her didn’t speak.
✧ That night, they sat at the stream beyond the plateau, stars mirrored in its slow current. Jol asked, “Does it ever get easier? Knowing what’s right?” Amara didn’t answer at first. The sound of water filled the space between them. “No,” she said eventually. “It just gets harder to ignore when you don’t.” Snowy settled at her feet, tail curling like a question mark. Jol watched the stars. So did she. The stillness felt almost sacred. Almost. And still, part of her waited—for the other shoe, the echo, the danger that always came dressed as clarity.
📓 Personal Log: “Hollow Echo, Steady Flame” | Tython, 3624 BBY
"I told Jol the truth—but not all of it. I don’t know if that’s clarity… or fear. Elom left something behind in me. Not darkness. Not corruption. Just doubt that runs deeper than the Code knows how to name. I’m supposed to be steady now. A Knight. A teacher. But part of me still looks over my shoulder when the Force goes quiet. Snowy stays close. Jol trusts easily. Maybe that’s enough. Maybe presence is the only answer left. And still… I wonder if I’m becoming what I needed. Or just what I survived."
🪐 Galactic Context:
As the Force convulses across the galaxy—fractured by visions, rituals, and remnants of Darth Nul’s legacy—Voss stands at a quiet center. Its Mystics do not chase prophecy. They listen. And when the Jedi Order sends Master Amara Noxstarr to Echo Plateau, it is not to seal vaults or fight Sith—but to face what lingers in silence. Without her former Master, without answers. Just her name, her Padawan, and the weight of what it now means to carry both.
📘 Narrative:
✧ The climb pulled at her legs, slow and uneven, but it was the thin air that hollowed her chest. Voss was sacred in its own way—not because it was untouched, but because it refused to lie. Amara’s robes clung with dust from the trail, and her shoulders bore the quiet ache of altitude and memory. Snowy moved ahead, sure-footed. Jol Maron followed behind, steadier than before but not yet sure why they were here. Neither was she. The Shadeshade Trail wound through silence, and in every pause, she expected to hear Jasmin’s voice again. But the woman who had shaped her—who had anchored her through every fire—was gone. She had not seen Ruhnuk fall. But she had felt the absence. And still, she climbed.
✧ She sensed Kleya before the summit—her sister’s presence like a chord struck low, not sad, but solemn. They met at a ledge where the world opened into cloud and wind. “You made it,” Kleya said. Amara nodded. The words caught in her throat. They didn’t speak of their Masters—not yet. They just stood, shoulder to shoulder, watching the sun flicker through mist. “I keep hearing her,” Amara whispered. “When I’m not listening for anything.” Kleya didn’t answer right away. She reached across and rested her hand lightly on Amara’s wrist. “Then she’s still guiding you.” Amara closed her eyes. And still, she wasn’t sure if she felt grief… or gratitude.
✧ The plateau was carved with spirals and silence. Voss Mystics met them not as warriors, but as questions. In the central shrine stood a fractured holostatue—half Jedi, half Sith, balanced in contradiction. “This place remembers both,” one Mystic said. Amara stared at the division. Not symmetrical. Not unified. Just… present. “What do you want us to do with it?” she asked. The Mystic smiled without answering. But Kleya stepped forward, calm and certain. “Witness it,” she said. “Then choose.” Amara looked at her sister, then at Jol, who stood back but wide-eyed. She wanted to laugh. Or cry. Or speak. Instead, she simply placed her hand on the cracked stone. And still, the Force remained steady.
✧ That night, Amara sat beside the whispering pool, Jol at her side. The stars rippled across the surface like memories unmoored. “Do you ever miss her?” he asked. She didn’t need to ask who. “Yes,” she said. “But I think she left me with more than I understood at the time.” He nodded. “You’ve never called yourself wise,” he said. “But sometimes you are.” Her throat tightened. She wanted to tell him that wisdom didn’t feel like a crown. It felt like weight. Like listening to ghosts without asking them to leave. Instead, she dipped her fingers into the water. The ripples expanded. And still, they didn’t fade.
✧ Before dawn, she and Kleya stood again on the ledge. The light painted the clouds gold, and Snowy sat beside her, ears twitching at unseen things. “We’ve both lost our teachers,” Amara said, “and become what they believed in.” Kleya didn’t smile, but her voice carried peace. “Now we teach.” Amara folded her arms, the breeze catching at her cloak. “Does it ever stop feeling fragile?” Kleya shook her head. “No. But it doesn’t have to break.” The sun cleared the ridge, and the world sharpened. They stood there, two Masters shaped by silence, steady in a world that had never been steady for them. And still, the light held.
📓 Personal Log: “The Echo That Chose Me” | Voss, 3621 BBY
"I don’t feel like a Master. I feel like someone walking beside an absence and calling it strength. Jasmin’s voice isn’t gone—it’s just harder to hear now. Jol asks for guidance, and I try to answer with presence instead of certainty. Kleya says the Force isn’t always meant to clarify—it’s meant to carry. Maybe that’s what I’m doing. Carrying. I didn’t ask for this trail. But I kept walking. And still… I think I’m becoming the voice I once needed."
