Kavaraa felt that farmilar energy envelop her and suddenly she was sitting in a cabin she looked to see Theron and Kormel sitting there too looking confused. Kavaraa frowned she'd been expecting a blue void this was unexpected, she turned to Theron who seemed like he was thinking the same thing

Theron frowned "uh correct me if I'm wrong but this seems weird" Kavaraa nodded it was certainly odd. She could here the sound of someone from the next room, she looked around the room it seemed oddly familiar she couldn't tell where from.

Kavaraa leant over "does anything about this place seem familiar to you guys" Theron looked around the room with a confused expression Kormel shook his head

"uh not as far as I know Kav why does it to you?" Theron asked, maybe it wasn't anything it wasn't the strongest familiarity anyway probably just the cabin design or something.

Kavaraa stroked her chin "I'm not sure maybe it's nothing" she could hear a crashing sound as clumsy footsteps came towards the door. The door opened and the familiar face of Avulo Bysh

A big warm smile crossed his face "I'm deeply sorry I wasn't aware I had guests I'm gonna need a few extra plates" now Kavaraa could see him properly she could see the togruta looked slightly older he wore a simple robe and sandals, he had aqua blue skin and long montrals going down to his waist further signifying his age. He went back into the kitchen and came back with 3 extra plates and a large pot he looked to each of them "I assume you'll be eating" Kavaraa saw no reason why not and nodded. Avulo smiled serving what looked like a casserole to each of them Kavaraa could see Theron reluctantly accept "I think your really gonna love this it's a real delicacy trust me" Kavaraa was excited to tuck in

Kavaraa took a bite and it was great the sauce was rich and the meat was quite chewy yet tender it seemed well cooked as well which was much better than she could do. "mmmm what is this it's so good" Kormel picked at his food but ate it none the less he looked a little less enthused than Kavaraa

Avulo smiled "I'm glad you like it it's Balana thranta Casserole bit of a secret recipe don't tell anyone" wow this guy knew his stuff she'd only had Balana thranta once before when she nicked a bit from the meal while a servant for House Thul it was good then and it was good now although she wasn't getting in trouble this time which was nice.

Theron chuckled "it certainly beats your cooking Kav" Kavaraa gave him a grumpy stare she knew he was right last time she cooked it was basically ash she just didn't get cooking

Avulo began pouring each of them tea "so if you're here that means you've passed the second trial right?" Kavaraa had gotten completely distracted by the whole visage now remembering she wasn't really here "Trial of knowledge, huh I like this one because it shows you're really a scholar, of course I only have the other trial to compare it to so there's not too much competition" Kavaraa chuckled the first time they had met Avulo he said he was only told the clue for security she guessed she'd get a slightly older Avulo every time

Theron cleared his throat "not to rush you but I believe we earned a little more detail on this 'ancient knowledge'" Theron had a point they had to get that information

Avulo smiled sitting down "yes of course well as I'm sure you're aware my name is Avulo Bysh but may I ask your names" Kavaraa was suprised he hadn't asked that last time

Kavaraa cleared her throat "I'm Kavaraa that is Theron Shan and the boy is Kormel" Kavaraa frowned for a second realising she didn't know Kormel's last name

Kormel timidly mumbled "Kormel Hartful sir" Kavaraa felt bad she really should have know that

Avulo chuckled "oh please don't call me sir I'm just an old man, but a Shan it's wonderful to meet you son your family has done much for the jedi order" Theron had a terse expression as Avulo praised his family, Kavaraa should deflect this quickly she was sure Theron wouldn't want to talk about jedi stuff

Kavaraa cleared her throat "yes well me and Kormel and I are jedi too" Avulo's smile broadened

"it is so nice to be in such wonderful company and what family are you from miss Kavaraa" Kavaraa felt a pit in her stomach the question she always hated answering

she held her neck awkwardly "uh well I'm afraid I don't know my family name so I'm just Kavaraa" Avulo fidgeted clearly regretting his question

he cleared his throat "well I'm uh sorry miss, still I have to get to the details I have dallied far too long. In this world many ancient secrets are dug up and in these cases we commonly see them used by bad or misguided people infatuated with the promise of power. In these cases this means they usually need to be stopped and their knowledge secured, but after they are secured where does the knowledge go?" Kavaraa frowned she assumed it was usually destroyed or stored in the archives on Tython

Kavaraa spoke up "on the archives on Tython?" Avulo stifled a laugh

Avulo wiped his mouth which was covered in casserole "we have found that keeping ancient secrets adjacent to our impressionable padawans can lead to bad results" Kavaraa had to admit she had a point there she saw Kormel fidgeting awkwardly staring at the floor she hoped he'd get his confidence back soon.

Theron smiled "what a surprise, so you keep them hidden?" Kavaraa had wondered if it could be something like that it was certainly better than it being just one secret.

Avulo smiled "we take them away where they can't hurt anyone, only the most vigilant and wise can tend to them and that may be you but what do I know there's more trials to come I don't have the whole story" Avulo looked like he'd amused himself

Kavaraa looked to Theron who seemed intrigued this could really lead somewhere, she turned back to Avulo "we'd be honoured I assume we get the clue now?" she'd tried her best not to demand the clue immediately she thought she did ok

Avulo nodded "you're certainly catching on I like you" Kavaraa felt a little bit of pride well up within her she liked Avulo too.

"the third trial of the temple will be"

"upon a land devoid with sea"

"in this land many trials you will face"

"upon the dunes of the Jundland wastes"

Avulo smiled "it was so wonderful to meet you all I had a delightful time" before they had time to respond the same energy enveloped them and they were back in the temple chamber

Kavaraa sat up and began pondering the riddle it was definitely a desert or wasteland planet that's what it meant by land devoid of sea but which one? As if to answer her question she felt a tapping on her back she turned around to see Kormel

he looked uncomfortable as held his arm "uh I know the Jundland wastes they're uh they're on Tatooine" Kavaraa's eyes went wide that was Kormel's home…
