Home of the Saber
For hundreds of years the few Jedi who had escaped the great purge and who had found a refuge on the little known planet of Moniron had been living in peace. They had been witnesses to the invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong and the rise of the new Sith and empire. More evil came and went and finally the time had come when the Force called a young man to fulfil his destiny.
He is Noiran Ellenion and has black wavy hair and smiling hazel eyes.
He is a descendant of Henrani Ellenion and a Dunai elder humanoid.
He is a young healer and is holding an ancient lightsaber. His large hands almost obscure the little lightsaber and he knows that it once belonged to a great Jedimaster.
He had seen the ceremony only yesterday, held for all the Jedi that became one with the Force and had asked Shelil Adin the leader of the House of Healing where this lightsaber had originated.
He had been given a diary and had read the entire diary. Another diary wielded more information and his mission became clear.
The little lightsaber had to return home.
The new Jedi-order needed its guidance.
The new Jedi-order needed the teachings he was so familiar with.
The teachings of the Whills.
He remembered Shelil Adin’s words
It is two thousand years ago that this lighsaber has been made
It was made in the caves of Illum
It was made by a young apprentice
He became a great master
He lives forever in the Force
He is master Yoda.
He was sitting at the edge of the large pond and heard the soft words in his mind ‘do or don’t there is no try. Go now little one.’
---
Shelil Adin greeted him, knowing of his mission and said “a transport is ready for you. Go and may the Force be with you.”
Noiran Ellenion clipped the little lightsaber to his belt and walked to the transport. He boarded it after saying that he would return soon to his girlfriend and guided the transport into space.
Flying through the nebula surrounding the Moniron starsystem was difficult but with this new transport he had all confidence that he would make it. He did and he programmed the first of a series of 4 hyperspace jumps that would take him to Coruscant.
The first three gave no problem but the fourth one did. Coming out of hyperspace from the third he found his transport surrounded by pirates and being unarmed he let himself being captured.
---
Prodded by an electrojabber and with hands shackled behind his back he was guided before a blue skinned alien with 6 red eyes staring menacing at him.
Huh a boy
Yeah and an ancient transport
Hey a child still sporting a little toy on his belt.
Leave it. It will look great on him when we deliver him to his new boss.
Quite seducing for the girls he is going to meet.
Noiran Ellenion smiled inwardly. ‘The little lightsaber was regarded as a little toy. A toy, I have seen it being used and from that diary I know it can be used to kill.’
Noiran Ellenion heard the discussion going on about him
Looks skinny
Soft hands, almost like a girls.
What kind of young fish did we catch?
A little fishy good for the house of pleasure in Cocotown
Will last for a couple of years
Yeah but not if one of the Hutts sees him
Rancor fodder
He is looking weird, ancient
Yeah and that transport too.
I have seen a piece like that in a museum
And his transport is usable
Yeah for that museum
Does he have a name
Ask him
What’s your name boy?
Noiran answered in a polite voice “Noiran Ellenion”
“Good boy, your new life is about to begin in a few hours. Take him away and put him in the hold.”
Noiran was led to a cargo-hold and probing with the Force he smiled when his capturers left him alone. An old air-speeder – also a museum piece – was tied to the floor.
He would wait for the right moment, just before landing and started to work on the air-speeder.
The Force told him and he was ready.
He ignited the little lightsaber and cut the locks that held the cargo-hatch in place.
A gust of wind entered the now open door and he boarded the air-speeder and took a dive, out of the hatch and used the confusion in the dark and the abundant traffic to and from the Coco-district to sped away. Led by the Force he saw a great structure looming in the distance and he recognised it from old pictures.
It was as it had been before the great Jedi purge.
It was rebuilt atop of the same mountain.
It was the Jeditemple and he headed for it.
Surrounding it were green forests and meadows and the nearest large city buildings stood a good distance away. They were those of the galactic senate, once more the central part of the new republic.
Noiran touched down near the large entrance and exited his speeder and entered the building where he was greeted by a receptionist.
She said “you may enter. The Jedi council knows you are coming. They will meet you in the council room” and she gave him a datapad.
---
Noiran entered the council room and found twelve masters seated.
One master, a slight build human male with wavy blonde hair showing strands of grey in it and sky-blue eyes welcomed him with a gentle voice “I know who you are. You are Noiran Ellenion of the hidden planet. I know your mission. Come”
Noiran said “lead the way Master.”
The two men walked to the centre of the temple, below the central spire. The rock of the mountain around which the temple was built showed in the halls.
It was this part of the sacred spire where the first part of the Jeditemple was built, partly inside the mountain and using natural caves inside to give room to their growing numbers. The caves were used later for storage when the more modern quarters were built. The peak of the mountain was surrounded by a meditation balcony with a lower balcony presenting a series of holo-depictions of the history of the Jedi.
The origins, the Mandalorian wars, the Jedi civil war and the Ruusan revolt. The great Jedi purge was shown.
Darth Vader becoming Anakin Skywalker again and the return of the Jedi.
The invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong, the rise of a new empire and new Sith ruling the galaxy until another rebellion overthrew the empire and every time the Jedi had played a role.
A large well lit and beautifully tiled corridor led around the mountain.
The noon sun was shining on the rocks enhancing their natural beauty. A rough wall had an almost seamless fitting stone door with an intricately carved stone doorknob.
Noiran took the doorknob and found the door opening.
The Jedimaster said “this is the first time that it is wielding. One of my ancestors has found a diary on the distant planet of Tatooine and I was reading that when I sensed you were coming.”
Noiran asked “what was in that diary?”
The Jedimaster took his datapad and started to recite
"Hall of Crystals, Hall of Eternity,"
Noiran hummed
“One Book to lead
One Book hidden”
The Jedimaster finished
“Until a worthy Knight
Is lead
Future will be bright"
He continued “you knew those words too.”
Noiran said “they were in an old book in our library, a book that had belonged to a Jedihealer from before the great purge.”
The Jedimaster said “come let’s enter.”
The two men entered the large room.
It was dark and cold inside and the only natural light was coming from a small crack high up in the wall. It was natural light and it shone on the stone walls and rough hewn floor. And where it touched the walls green lichen, azure-green moss and orange coloured algae had sprouted from the cracks in the stone giving the cave-like room a beautiful appearance.
The Jedimaster lighted two torches and other parts of the cave became visible, the light enhancing the beauty of the hall.
Embedded in the walls were stone niches and in each of them a crystal could be seen, sparkling and adding to the colours when the light shone on them. One wall clearly showing the structure of the mountain and still showing the crystal formations was glistening wet and from a fissure in the wall a steady trickle of water dribbled down to the floor and collected in a deep pond in the centre of the room. The pond drained into a stream and that disappeared in one of the cracks in the wall where it was collected and fed into the water-system of the temple.
Stairs led down to the centre.
Noiran took the little lightsaber from his belt and ignited it. The lightsaber started to vibrate in his hands and he let go. It floated upwards to a large niche where a rectangular brown slab could be seen. That slab floated down and settled in Noiran’s hands.
He fingered the simple brown leather covering and opened it. He said “this was the book hidden by Jedi archivist Shh-kir. This was the book that showed the way. This was used by Shh-kir and Qui-Gon Jinn. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker were taught in the ways of the Whills. Now the time has come to share this knowledge again among the Jedi.” He handed it to the Jedimaster who took it with a solemn nod.
Both saw the little lightsaber settle down in the vacated niche. It was home after wandering the galaxy and the soft green light could still be seen when the two men exited the hall of crystals.
The Jedimaster pushed the door closed and was surprised when the door failed to lock.
It could be opened at the slightest touch and Noiran smiled. He said “now that the galaxy is at peace and the Jediorder again serving it like they had done ages ago there is no need anymore for the Hall of Crystals to remain hidden and closed.”
The Jedimaster asked “what will you do? Will you join the Jedi?”
Noiran said “I have a great friend waiting for me at home and I will return to her and the healer’s academy needs me. But we can join forces.”
The Jedimaster said “a great idea, come we will discuss this in the council.”
Noiran and the Jedimaster returned to the council room where the book was examined.
---
Two days later a great transport exited hyperspace near a nebula and the hangar-doors opened to reveal a small new transport that sped away into the nebula.
---
And it was a smiling Noiran Ellenion who sat meditating at the edge of the great pond when he heard the whispered “home it is. Guided by the Force you were. Worthy Knight you are young Noiran Ellenion”
He looked up towards the large tree and saw the shimmering form of the great little Jedimaster giving him a smile.
Noiran said “goodbye Master Yoda, I will meet you again.”

Great story! I remember Shh-kir from your earlier story, and it was neat to see someone find the book he hid. The lightsaber led to the book when it was needed, and I hope it helps the Jedi now that the teachings are rediscovered.
Good job!
