((This takes place long before The Phantom Menace, during the days of the old Republic. As long as your character fits that time period, you're welcome to join in.))
*The sound of the fountains floated on the air like the delicate chiming of bells. It was a serene and healing atmosphere, making it one of Laurana Tahlee's favorite places in all the galaxy. The Jedi Master sat quietly on a bench in the Room of a Thousand Fountains, her eyes closed as she meditated in silence. Just recently granted the rank of Jedi Master, she had much to think about and knew that there would probably be choices to make soon. During her entire career as a Jedi, she had never taken on an apprentice, spending far too much time in her studies and perfecting her control over her abilities. Now that she had been given such an elevated title, she wondered how much longer she would be able to remain alone during her travels and missions. Missions... another thing to think about... There was much to be done these days. To be able to meditate and study all day was a luxury she could no longer afford. It wouldn't be long before she would be leaving the Temple again so that she might serve the galaxy. Slowly opening her eyes with a sigh, Laurana stood and left the peace of the fountains behind... Soon, she found herself in one of the many training rooms of the Temple, watching quietly and carefully as various Knights, Padawans, and Masters dueled or learned and taught about various lightsaber techniques...*

(( yes Star Wars!!!, Is this after KOTOR, before it, during Exar Kun War, there's a lot of happenings before Menace ))
Ares Halcyon kept his concentration, the training lightsaber was just an extension of his arm. Though he wasn't great at telekenisis, he was unmatched with a lightsaber, only at 10 years old, he was already better then all the 12 year olds.
Sensing where the probe would fire, he twirled his wrist, and the saber was there, relfecting the bolt right back towards the control area of the probe. He removed his blindfold and saw that the bolt had hit where he wanted it to. He smiled and turned off the training saber.

((This is after KOTOR. Probably a good many years later since Dantooine had time to recover before Laurana was born there.))
*Laurana watched the youngest of the order carefully as they trained, wondering which ones were already Padawans and had been assigned a master... One boy training with a saber caught her eye... She saw no Jedi paying him special attention as the child's master would likely do... Slowly and silently, she moved closer, observing him as he trained. His skills with a lightsaber were unmatched by many of the other children. He shows a lot of promise... I wonder how old he is...? She continued to watch him as he deactivated his training saber, although she didn't approach him yet. Not being the most social person, Laurana wasn't used to starting conversations, preferring to simply watch people...*

He sensed the lady's eyes upon him after he deactivated, but put it aside, a Jedi should take notice of all things, but this was no special thing. He went to hang up his lightsaber, as everyone else was, using telekenesis. The lightsaber shook, and moved sluggishy across the air to the hook. He sighed, although he was unmatched in lightsabers and illusions, he had little talent for TK. He finally hung the lightsaber up and started to walk to his quarters.

Observing the training below the Jedi Master Nomed Natas watched the many young Jedi training. Not having taken on a Padawan in 10 years he watched to find his next. Only a couple of the young ones caught his eye. And he noticed one caught the eye of his freind Laurana.

Ares arrived at his quarters, he bunked with a Trandoshan, Kiros, who was away at some class. Good, now he could talk. Accessing his holopad, he opened a link. he typed in the name of the person he wanted to talk to, Katrina Ariana. He hadn't seen Katrina in the longest time, she was a childhood friend, their parents were both Corellian, poor, and widows. Thus, the two had grown up together. Often he wondered if their relationship was more then friends, and he knew she wondered the same, but he had tried all he could to resist such a thing.
She wasn't at her holopad, so he left a message, as both of them had done back and forth, He always wondered what could keep them so busy.

*Laurana watched the boy leave, slightly disappointed. However, things like this couldn't be rushed. She would have to continue watching for a while before she could choose the Padawan most in need of her wisdom. Keeping the boy in mind as a possibility, she continued watching the other young apprentices. After a while of observing, she left the training room, walking slowly down the halls, deep in thought.*

It was time for evening meditation, where all talk except in certain areas was forbidden. Of course students had a wide selection of where they wanted to meditate. A certain room in the temple was made in imitation of a large grove, wide grass all around, trees, and a lake in the middle, many Mon Cals had already gathered around the lake. Ares himself found a perch among the trees, which meant he got a nice few of the entire thing. He fell into a meditation state, and began to gather the force around him...

The force was like another world when you were deep in meditation, it was like being an asteral being, with no true form. In the force you could even "see" the air to a certain extent. Every breathe taken was sensed by Ares, at least to a 400 yard radius around him. He could even feel the dark side on Coruscant, someone with a lustfut desire, malice, or greed. He suppressed it with his light sided abilities. He continued to search, pushing the abilities of his force perception to a farther radius. The mon cals around him, the trandoshan in the eating hall, and he could even sense the Jedi Master he had seen earlier. And try as he might, he could not sense her thoughts....

*Laurana made her way to the library, one of her favorite places besides the Room of a Thousand Fountains. There, she searched through the archives, looking for new knowledge almost greedily, as she often did. However, there was little that she had not yet learned... As her eyes scanned the information in front of her, she suddenly looked up, distracted from her thoughts. As clearly as a soft breeze on her skin or a gentle tap on the shoulder, she felt something through the Force... or someone. She briefly looked around, but no one else seemed to have noticed much. Frowning slightly, she ended her search for wisdom, leaving the archives. She wandered through the Temple with no real destination in mind... She eventually wound up in a room containing a tranquil grove, where many of the Order sat in meditation. Then she saw him... The same boy she had watched earlier... Finding it odd that she should meet up with him again, but trusting in the Force and its mysterious ways, she slowly approached him, observing but not daring to disturb his meditation.*

Ares sensed her as she approached him, he knew not why she had come, futures were so diffucult to predict, like Masters said ' Always in motion the future is' . Narrowing his force in her direction, the length was tripled to 1200.
Calmly, and only half out of his meditation he said,
" Greetings Master Laurana "

*Not at all surprised by the fact that the boy knew she was there, she hesitated only a moment before replying.* "Greetings... I don't wish to interrupt your meditation... It is one of the most important things a Jedi should do. Do you find meditation difficult?" *Being so drawn to a person she knew nothing about was uncomfortable... She had to find out more about his character...*

" You are not intruding at all, and my meditation is quite restful, if somewhat limited by my abilities, but, when I'm in the force, everything seems so peaceful, I ignore the evils and hustle of everyday Coruscant." He said.
" And now that you've asked one question, I suppose you'd like to ask another one? Master Eyos says the universe is a place of never ending questions, but then again, hes a Bith, not very good philosiphers, but great on the slitherhorn. Anyway.... Your next question?"
