Disclaimer: I am not Rick Riordan or George Lucas.

Enter Luke, in the Jedi Praxeum.

Luke. [aside] Over the next couple of days, I've tried to keep my mind off my problems.

Enter Seha, who gives Luke his first aiwha riding lesson.

Seha. Now, there is only one immortal winged equine named Aiwha, who still wanders free somewhere in the galaxy. But over the eons, he has sired a lot of children, none quite so fast or heroic, but all named after the first and greatest.

Luke mounts an aiwha and takes flight.

Luke. [aside] Being the son of the Sea Je'daii, I never like going into the air. My father has this rivalry with Sekot. So, I try to stay out of the King of Tython's domain as much as possible. But riding an aiwha feels different. It doesn't make me nearly as nervous as being in an airspeeder. Maybe that's because my father created equines out of sea foam, so the aiwhas are sort of . . . neutral territory. I can understand their thoughts.

The aiwha gallops over the treetops, then chases a few hawk-bats.

Enter Lowbacca, below with Seha.

The problem is that Lowie wants to ride the "avian equus," too. But the aiwhas get skittish whenever he approaches. I try to tell them that Lowie won't hurt them. But they don't seem to believe me. This makes Lowie cry.

Luke lands and dismounts his aiwha.

Exit Seha.

Enter Ganner, who with Lowbacca.

The only Jedi who has no problem with Lowie is Ganner Rhysode, son of Yun-Ne'Shel. The shaper god has always worked with Wookiees in his forges, so Ganner has taken Lowie down to the armory to teach him the art of shaping.

Ganner and Lowbacca return later.

Ganner. Don't worry, Luke. I'll have him crafting Force-sensitive objects in no time.

Exit Ganner and Lowbacca.

Luke enters the Jedi Temple Sparring Arena, where he alternatively duels Phanan, Tekli, and Dorsk 81.

Luke. [aside] Swordplay has always been my strength. Beings say I'm better at it than any Jedi in the last hundred years, except maybe Jacen. Beings always compare me to Jacen.

Exit Phanan, Tekli, and Dorsk 81.

I thrashed the sons and daughters of Yavin easily. I should have tested myself against the Yun-Yammka and Ashla cabins, since they have the best swordsmen. But I don't get along with Saba and her siblings. And after my argument with Mara, I just don't want to see her. I would go to archery class, even though I was terrible at it. But it just isn't the same without Yoda.

Luke enters the arts and crafts building, where he builds a bronzium bust.

Oh, stang. That was supposed to be Vader. Now, it looks more like Tetran Cowall. I'm just going to give up on this.

Later, Luke stands guard outside the Jedi Praxeum.

Even though, Qordis insists we forget trying to protect the Praxeum, some of us quietly keep it up, working out a schedule during our free times.

Luke sits, watching as a team of Corellians, Melodies, and Jedi healers vainly try to heal Jaina's tree.

Luke leaps to his feet.

[angry] Jacen did this. I remember his sly smile, the terentatek-claw scar across his face. He pretended to be my friend, while the whole time he was Palpatine's chief servant.

Exit all.
