Chapter 4
Temple of light
Kanan pov
"Kanan where are we?" asked Ezra, his voice sounded off,wrong like he wasn't sure he liked being here.
Turning to where I heard the voice come from I answered "we are in a place that I have always found safe, somewhere where you would have been going to if the empire hadn't come and wiped us out. Somewhere that was the center of our order, where young padawans learned before they were taken on by a master, where the Jedi council held its meetings and where other beings in trouble could come to have their voices heard".
The boy looked around the space, his eyes didn't look like he could see much but I had pretty much expected this. It was hard to show someone something like this when the place had been destroyed longer than they had been alive. For myself I could see this place in my dreams, it was where I went if I needed peace of mind. I didn't know how much he could see and this was a place I had wanted to show Ezra one day when the war was over, but at the moment this was the only way he could see it.
"I still have no idea where we are, I am guessing it has something to with the Jedi but I don't what. Kanan is this place something to do with your past?"Ezra said, his eyes still looking from side to side, showing that he still couldn't see much.
"Ezra how much do you see?can you at least see me, or anything around us?"I inquired then when Ezra told me that he could at least see me I continued "so you can see me but you can't see the hallway that we are standing in".
Ezra blinked and nodded "I want to but all I see is a door at the front of the hall and some dark shapes that could be pillars holding up the ceiling, I guess" he said looking up then looking around he continued "so where are we? it might help me picture where we are".
I nodded that was probably the best plan we had to get him to see this place "the place I am trying to get you to see is somewhere that is sacred to all Jedi, it is and was as I have said before a place where the young padawans were taught when they were not with their masters. It was also where the Jedi council kept watch on the universe from. It was also a place I would have taken you, a place I am still hoping to take you one day when this is all over"I said noticing the boy now seemed more aware of where we are.
"Is it?"he answered and when I nodded now that he had heard me on what this place was "that is right, it's the Jedi temple on Coruscant. The main temple, not that you haven't been to one before but this one feels more alive than the others. To me and a lot of other Jedi, it feels like home"I concluded, thinking in a way it was Ezra's home now too.
"Master I see it, I see our home"he started to say before I see his face look confused, it took me a moment to work out why it would look this way and I could only think of one thing. He must have seen the layout of the hallway and wondered why it was like this. Why it had many doors down the sides of the hall, some with light shinning on them, some in gold and some so dark that it was hard to see what color they were. Those dark doors were bad news, as I looked at them, Ezra had so many, too many for someone his age.
"The hallway is like this because those doors hold our memories" I told him answering his unasked question.
"Our memories?" he asked looking at me, then back at the doors.
"Yes each door has a room behind it and in that room it will show you a specific memory that you might want to share with the other person in the room. That you will share because you have let the other person in the room with you. To let someone into some of those memories you have to trust them, just like I trust you" I replied.
Ezra's eyes widened at that remark about trust and then he nodded. looking back at the doors he asked me what the colors of the doors mean? and I told him that each color means something different, the lighter the door, the happier the memory, the darker the door the worse the memory and the gold doors meant that they are our happiest memories of all.
Ezra nodded again then looked at the dark doors at the end of the hallway. I knew then that he could feel the pain and fear coming out of those doors, I could and what I could feel meant that the nightmare that we found him in and the freezing during the mission all came from those doors, but I knew Ezra wasn't ready to tell me about them yet just by looking at him. The fear was just rolling off him in waves through the force.
"Ezra don't worry about those doors yet, we will just deal with the light and golden doors for now" I told him, calming him down from the panic attack that was just about too happen.
So for the next few minutes or hours(it is really hard to tell the time in this dream world) we showed each other our memories from the golden doors. His were full of memories of his early childhood before he was seven and mine were the same, full of childhood memories before I joined the order, but still I could tell he was worried about the other doors, so it was time to change the color of the doors we were visiting.
"Ezra it is time to show you one of my memories from my training time at the temple"I said knowing that this memory could be important for him to see.
An:so which temple memory will Kanan show Ezra? or will it even be a temple memory at all? only Kanan and I know which memory will be seen first. oh and sorry not posting earlier but you life.
