It was a journey of several days to reach Adamina, and Kareem spent most of it answering Luke's million and one questions and teaching him about the Force.

Centuries ago, the Jedi split into two fractions. Those who abided by the old code, and those who practiced detachment. As though the Force wanted the two to remain separate, she showed the followers of the old code to a planet, teeming with all forms of life, blessed with a wide array of different climates and terrains, and hidden by the Force, to allow for a safe haven. In time, they ceased to call themselves Jedi, identifying themselves by their planet. The Adamites grew in number, until soon, they were scattered all over the planet, with many fine schools, towns, and a self-sustaining economic structure. Granted, life was not perfect, but few places in the universe were as peaceful and as well protected, and as free.

Kareem's arrival was well overdo and many among the ruling body had begun to worry when his new ship, which Luke had named the Desert Rose arrived. Luke remained firmly behind Kareem as question after question were hurled at the man.

Finally, Kareem was able to get away, Luke and the astromech droid rolling along behind him as he made his way to the most amazing building Luke had ever seen.

The first thing he notices was the large dome in the center of the main building, with several smaller domes around it. Also, the windows were cut in an arch, meeting at the top in strangely decorative points. He could see thin, gauzy curtains of various vibrant colors billowing in the light breeze through a few opened windows. In the very front was a large courtyard, and he was surprised to see that the entry ways were arched as well. It was all made out of sandstone, and adorned with colored glass, carved wood and shining brass that was twisted and molded into intricate patterns.

Aside from the archaic glass windows, which were tinted blue green, the windows also had carved shutters made from strangely fragrant wood, much like the entry-ways and doors. The entire building was a work of art, and full of color, and sound.

In the middle of the court yard were two large trees, side by side, with branches intertwining. Luke noticed that many of the branches were acting as seats to various species of various ages. Strange, exotic flowers grew in special beds, and some strange feline animal prowled the ground, looking for the birds that it heard.

The people were of all species and wore all sorts of clothing. Tight, loose, bright, subdued, modest, revealing, the variety was astonishing.

Luke was so busy looking at his surroundings that he walked straight into Kareem's back, as he stopped to talk to a small girl.

"It's perfectly alright to worry about your visions, Kyra." Kareem said gently, and Luke studied the small figure. She was human, roughly his age, with shoulder length hair that was blonde, brown, and red all at once. She had eerie violet eyes that seemed to see beyond everything, and frighteningly pale skin. She was dressed in a muted blue two layered tunic with an asymmetrical hem with a brown belt around the waist and a pair of wide legged pants in the same color that were drawn in tight around her ankles. A light green vest with uneven hems hung off her frame, and a scarf of the same material tried back her hair. On her feet were brown sandals, and she wore brown leather cuffs around her wrist. A small pendant hung from a woven cord around her neck, and strange and beautiful dark red patterns adorned her right hand.

Kareem turned to Luke.

"Luke, I have to go speak to a few people here, in order to get everything set up for you. Will you please go with Kyra while I do that?" He asked, and Luke found himself under the stare of the piercing violet eyes.

"Sure, I don't mind." He said, returning her gaze.

"Good," Kareem nodded. "She'll show you around. Kyra is also from Tatooine, so she understands what a huge change this all is."

With that, Kareem turned and headed off, leaving the two children alone, just watching each other with curiosity.
