Temple Life ✔️

Keeping Promises

"Ezra, it's time for some training." Kanan said once he found his padawan.
Ezra was practicing his aim with his new lightsaber set to blaster when he had found him. Kanan almost didn't want to interrupt him but he had been at it for hours. Things were easier now that the kid had his own lightsaber with a built in blaster.
"Coming" Ezra said getting up from his position and changing the setting on his lightsaber. "So what are we doing today?"
"I was thinking about showing you a training video on the holocron." Kanan replied. It's about time I keep my promise to Anakin to show my padawan his video he thought to himself. "Now that you have your own saber we can work more on the forms. There's a few videos done by Master Skywalker and a few other masters on their."
"Master Skywalker? Who was that?" Ezra asked.
Kanan released that he had never really spoken much about the Jedi at the temple. Really Ezra only knew about a few;Yoda, Obi Wan, and of course his own master Depa Billaba.
"Probably the most powerful Jedi Knight to ever live. He was Master Kenobi's padawan up until the Clone Wars. Then him and his Padawan had the highest success rate and the one of the lowest casualty rates in the war. Everyone in the temple idolize the two of them and Obi Wan during the wars." He explained.
"Did you ever meet him?" Ezra asked with interest.
"A few times actually. Once after I started training with my master he gave me flying lessons while she was in a council meeting. He was not supposed to though and we got into some trouble because of it. He was the best pilot in the Galaxy at the time and I couldn't pass up the chance when he offered." Kanan said as the two walked to his cabin.
"Better than Hera?"
"Probably about equal really, but in my opinion Hera's better."
"So why haven't you told me about him before? What happened to him and his padawan?"
"To be honest I'm not sure. My past is kinda hard to talk about. I've been having to go back to it training you when I spent so many years trying to forget it. That's why this is so hard for me." Kanan replied. "As far as what happened to Anakin Skywalker I'm not sure. Rumors have it he died during the war. His Padawan left the Jedi order before I started my training with my master, after that I don't know what happened to her."
"Why did she leave?" Ezra asked.
"You would have to ask her. I never fully understood it myself. All I know is she had been framed for a murder but was cleared. When the Jedi council offered to let her come back she declined." The Jedi replied once they finally reached the door to his cabin.
Kanan opened the door and the two walked in. He opened the drawer and pulled out the holocron.
"So who opens it this time?" Ezra asked.
"How about this time I open it and show you how to get to the videos I want you to watch. Then you can do it on your own when you have some free time." Kanan replied.
"That sounds fine." Ezra responded and sat down crossing his legs.
Kanan did the same and set the holocron down between them. He opened it.
"Now Ezra, these videos should help you a lot. Watch them carefully." He said as he shifted through the database looking for the saber forms.
Ezra and him watch the training videos for hours. Kanan would tell Ezra stories about each Jedi in them.
"Well Padawan Dume, Master Dume probably by now if you're watching this in the future. I hope you kept your promise and are watching this with your padawan." Anakin said at the end of one video.
I am now Kanan thought.
"Whose he talking to?" Ezra asked.
"Someone I'll tell you about some other time." Kanan replied with a smile.
"Did you really know all these people?" Ezra asked.
"I knew a lot but not all. I guess that was just temple life for you."
"Wish I could have lived back then."
"I wish you did too kid. This would be so much easier if you did."
The two sat and talked the rest of the day.
The End
