Kal'Shabbol Is my home (Bendu Only)

[Kravin O Prime]

In giving it time and thought the young boy Kravin had it all seen. Being wise is the most modest motion you can take he had thought. To choose such a position of being a guardian, had been his dream since day one that young kravin had been born. The time must be chosen in grasp. Listening to the great Ussej Bac, gave him much thought. In becoming one of them he must, for he to achieve his goal for happiness is all that Kravin wanted.....Ussej Bac had picked up Kravin with his bear arms....... Kravin Pausing, for a minute, then slowly gave out an answer.

" I'm certain my highness, that I do not want to be a servant of the evil. I want to become one in peace of Ashla. I truly know that I want to become and thats...."


*It is your destiny to feel the Ashla. You will forever be an honorable, brave and trustworthy guardian of peace and justice in our small, desolate corner of the galaxy. Unless....unless you choose to feel the Bogan*

Another pause had came withing Kravin. Remembering what Ussej Bac had said to him. The Bogan? What were they and had they been stronger than the Bendu knights? Not able to think this throughly threw, Kravin noticed that Ussej Bac had been staring at him the whole time.....

" Uhhhh, I want to become a true Bendu knight and become one in the Ashla..The Jedi training that I had been taught and learned had been the ways of combat really..like in holding a sword......... So my highness I hope I have chosen the right of choice. I feel a sense of some power that drives me to say go on to Ashla's light and you will find what you are looking for in life.......and for that reason my highness I think I want to follow the ways of the Bendu and much more but I can't describe it in words........."

Young Kravin looked up and stared Ussej Bac threw his eyes. For some odd reason he did not fear the mighty man that he first for seen.

[Brandon Rhea]

"You think you're not afraid, young one? You will be...you will be..."

*He walks back to the window but turns around to face Kravin.*

"What do you think the Bogan is, young one?"

[Kravin O Prime]

Upward, the young boy Kravin stood up to face Ussej Bac. He neared at the window. He knew Ussej Bac the III would mention the Bogan. For young Kravin could feel it as well as the Ashla could whisper through the ears of Kravin...... Telling him so...... Kept calm the boy had, standing to face Ussej Bac in the face. While looking upon his eyes.

" I feel the Bogan, are pure evil. They only live for power as for I, I...... search for another path.....which is not power...........I search for something else....for I know because I can feel it......."

Kravin, did not know of what was becoming of him. Hearing strange voices in his head. A while ago, he had been afraid of these whispers. Asha? It had been the whispers of the Ashla.

*They been guiding me, just as Ussej Bac had said Ashla would do.* Kravin had thought.

[Brandon Rhea]

*He smiled*

"Do not worry, young one, most get that question wrong because it is not taught to them.

Life arose on a multitude of worlds and flourished, and life brought forth the Force, an energy radiated by all living things. Even as living beings died, the Force they generated remained. And so the Force grew to become the living essence of the galaxy itself. Being a part of the great cycle of life, the Force had two aspects, creation and destruction, each balanced against the other. And the Force came to know itself.

The time came when the energies of the Force had grown strong enough to be sensed by living beings. A Holy man named the Skywalker became aware of the Force. After much study, he came to see in a new way, and his aura and his powers grew strong. The Force spoke to the Skywalker, and he came to know the life-giving aspect of the Force. And he named it the Ashla.

But the life-taking aspect of the Force was quick to respond to the new thing that the Ashla had done. It, too, spoke to the Skywalker, and he named it the Bogan. The Bogan desired the Skywalker as an agent to commit evil and increase the energy of death in the galaxy. But the Bogan had not yet learned the way of seduction, and it could only try to compel the Skywalker to comply. The Skywalker fought the Bogan mightily, and his strength prevailed.

The Skywalker realized that if he taught others the way of the Ashla, some with lesser strength would come to know the Bogan and bring great suffering to the galaxy. He entrusted the secret of the Force only to his twelve children. The family of the Skywalker brought new life to the people of his system, and many blessings came from them. They became known as the Jedi Bendu of the Ashla, servants of the Force. The Skywalker joined with the leaders of many worlds to form the great government of the Republic. The Jedi Bendu became the guardians of peace and justice in the Republic.

And when the Skywalker's work was done, and he had grown very old, he gathered his children, and his children's children to him, and he prophesied.

The Skywalker said, The Force has been a secret among us, so that no one will use it to bring great pain to others. But one day, our story will be told in full, and the Force will be known to all. The Republic will grow very large, and our family will not be enough to provide Jedi Bendu to safeguard all of it. The many races of the Republic will provide servants of the Force, and the Jedi Bendu will be numerous enough to oppose the servants of the Bogan where they arise.

The Skywalker said, Your descendants will go out among the stars and find a race of great wisdom, called the Whills. They will accept their destiny and follow the Jedi Bendu to this system, and dwell in the light of the Ashlan Nebula. On the fourth planet, they will record our story.

The Skywalker said, The Whills shall tell the story of the Jedi Bendu and the Republic, which shall last for over a thousand generations. All the races of the Republic shall share the story. It is their common heritage. The Whills shall be sustained by their task, but when the shadow of the Bogan falls upon them, the Ashla will not desert them, and in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

So, that is the story. Remember it well, for it is the reason that we are here today."

[Kravin O Prime]

Wrong Kravin had been about the Bogan. Ashal had been a form of a force in which he knew. But for the Bogan had also been a bond of force but its teaching focused on the Dark side of the force rather than the light side. The story that Ussej Bac had told him came a bit off balance. On the surface in the mediation chambers Kravin had sat on the near carpet listening to the words of Ussej Bac. Speechless and emotionless.....he sat....

" My highness. This skywalker you speak about sounds as if he had been the chosen one. As you continue the story about this man or living being I want to know if you are somehow related to this being or did you come in tack with it."

Many question had came all at once. This chosen one known as the savior, that would be known as the Son of the Suns. Who and what was the savior. Had it already came to past. Continued on with the question young kravin had done.

" The Savior, another part in which I don't understand. Has it come upon us or is it behind us....?"

In another thought had came to him. There had been a lot of which of the galaxy did not know of. For, kravin had only been on the world of Kal'Shabbol and thats all he had known of. Who had been this republic and what were really the Jedi.

" And and and......the Jedi and this republic..... It been the Bendu knights of Ashla's job to serve and protect the republic......as you told me. Why don't we protect this republic anymore my highness?

[Brandon Rhea]

"You have many questions, young one. Sit down, this make take some time."

*They walk to the meditation circle and sit down. Bac thinks for a moment.*

"The Skywalker was not the Savior...or, the Chosen One as well call it. The Skywalker merely predicted it.

In order to fufil the prophecy, the Skywalker would have to bring balance. In Jedi terms, that means destroying the Sith once and for all. In Bendu terms, it means destroying the Sith along with those who follow the Sith. Dark Jedi, those who serve only themselves, are no real threat to anyone, so they are not referred to in the Prophecy. You have to follow the Sith, or be a Sith, to be affected by it.

The Skywalker lived tens of thousands of years ago, around the beginning of modern civilization itself. That was about twenty thousand standard years ago. So, I have never met this man, but I have been contacted from him from the netherworld. When you learn to quite your mind, you will hear him speaking to you. And, on most clear nights, you can still see The Skywalker's Nebula in the sky. It is shaped like his face and is very recognizeable.

The Chosen One has not come upon us yet, as the Sith and their followers are still out their...somewhere.

And, it was not the Bendu Knights job to protect the Republic. That was the job of the Jedi Bendu. A few thousand years ago, the Jedi Bendu of the Ashla believed in everything we believe in now. But, they wanted to alter their philosophies. A corrupt and politically tied council member came up with a new "philosophy" that most Jedi Bendu came to like. They cast out all of the Ashlan beliefs, created new and narrow minded ones, and even altered their name. They were now simply known as the Jedi Order.

But, a few Jedi Bendu did not agree. They left and travelled for many years before coming to Kal'Shabbol. They trained their own, and the few people living on this planet. It was eventually found that most born to Kal'Shabbol were indeed Force Sensitive due to the high Force concentration of the planet. So, out of respect for the forgotten ways, the Jedi Bendu who came here became simply the Bendu Knights of the Ashla, servents of the Ashla and the Force."

*It took a lot to get that story out, as it was a compressed version of events thousands of years old. Though, it was good to get it out once again.*

[Kravin O Prime]

"Wow"

Being a bit surprised. The man was like a fortune teller he had thought. Time flew by quick as they had been in the Temple. Young Kravin looked at the window to see the sun had began to set.

Thinking about this prophecy that could be known as just a myth. Thinking for a moment for a bit. He had been born on Kal'Shabbol. Meaning he too had been some how connected to this story as this prophecy well. His family must hold a story as well because he had been force sensitive. Then all of a sudden Kravin remembered about his Uncle. He had asked of Kravin to help him in the machinery room tonight. Kravin got up on where he had sat near the carpet.

" My highness. I think my time must be at a end. I want to thank you for the stories you had told me. I hope soon I will become part of the Bendu knights of Ashla as I want to be. In time I hope you will except me but as for now I got to go and help my Uncle my highness."

Kravin face looked a bit tired. Waking up very early in the morning to come to the temple. Looking upward at Ussej Bac as he smiled at him. Wondering how old he had been.

[Brandon Rhea]

*He nodded.*

"Off with you then, you don't want to upset your Uncle."

*He turns and walks to the window and sits before it.*

"Just remember my words, young one. May Ashla's Light guide you, always."

[Kravin O Prime]

" Alrighty then"

The youngland had bowed down before Ussej Bac. Giving him the respect he deserved.

" I want to thank you my highness for inviting me to your temple. I've always wondered how it looked from within. Also thank you for sharing with me your stories. I will always remember them. Will I be seeing you anytime soon my highness before I'm off my way?"

Kravin had been curious if he would ever see Ussej Bac ever again. He wished to stay for ever in the temple with Ussej Bac but he had to return home to his Uncle. Looking up at Ussej Bac as if Kravin had about to cry. He stood there awaiting for him to answer.

[Brandon Rhea]

"I will seek you out when you are ready. Just remember, patience is key."

[Kravin O Prime]

Kravin nodded as he shook his head. Wondering if that would be soon or would it seem an eternity?

Looking outside of one of the widow's of the Temple. kravin knew he didn't have no more time available to talk to Bac. He turned his back on Bac and began to walk toward out. Then all of a sudden he paused for a moment in the Chamber room right outside of the mediation room. Feeling a force, that his Uncle had been in some type of trouble. He knew it couldn't be good feeling. So the young lad Kravin starting to run back on home. With no hesitation on looking back on the Bendu Temple.

[Ussej Bac IV]

*Ussej walked into the room as soon as the other guy had left. He didn't get much time with his father during the day, when he was either on missions or talking with other Apprentices & Hopefuls, so He was used to waiting sometimes. As he entered the Room, the thought of what might've happened or will happen plauged him. That other guy had a sudden fear about him when he had left. He'd talk to Dad about it*

"Dad?"

[Brandon Rhea]

*He turns to see his son, his namesake, standing before him and smiled.*

"Ussej...come in."

*The child came and sat down next to his father.*

"What's wrong? I sense that you need to speak with me about something important."

[Ussej Bac IV]

"Yeah....That guy who just left. I don't know why, but I just got this...gut feeling that something bad's happening or gonna happen. Something to do with him. I don't like him."

[Brandon Rhea]

"I sense it also, my son. But, remember what I have told you. Do not dwell on the future. Keep your concentration here and now where it belongs."
