Over the coming year much changed. Joran recovered from his injuries quickly and faced the Jedi Trials, easily attaining the rank of Jedi Knight. Luke continued to train Cara as his Padawan until he felt she was ready to face the Trials and achieve the Jedi Knight rank.
Joran and Cara remained friends and never told anyone else about how far their relationship had gone. Joran was later sent to the Nuwai Academy to take on a Padawan just after Cara attained her new rank. Later Cara joined him on Nuwai.
Although Arnav's ghost didn't appear to Cara anymore she knew he wasn't truly gone. She didn't have to have him near her to know he was always with her.
Life was good.
A/N:
Here is where I can tell you 'bits' about the second installment. Firstly it will be named much like this one, except a "2" will be in place of the "1" and yes namign stories is my weakest point!
In Episode Two I bring in a couple well known characters from the expanded universe story line, namely the favourits Mara Jade, Kyle Katarn and Jan Janson.
It has been almost two years since the New Jedi Order defeated the Sith Lord Tormel. Since then the Jedi Knight Galena-Cara led several other attacks on other Sith Lords. All remaining Sith have decided to hold a gathering to join their forces to withstand the Jedi attack and turn it back onto them. At the same time the Jedi Council on Nuwai debate over Cara's ability to overthrow the Dark Side. They decide to apprentice her to Kyle Katarn, another Jedi Knight who has had his own struggles with the Dark Side.
Cara has defeated the Darkness in her past, but can she defeat the Darkness within her?
