7Years after the destruction of the Star Forge, A battle jedi who's lost her love since the day she was saved by his love being admitted to her, she struggled to continue in life hoping he'd return safe and unwounded of his own war, that no one knows even exist except for a few dozen people touched by friend going to fight the war.

Couruscant. The Jedi Temple.

Walking in the temple since many years that have past, she sat down in the chair of a jedi she respected since the day she had met him, the jedi master Kavar who sent her to Dantoine for jedi training.

Looking over she imagined the jedi who once sat in the vacant chairs around the room, the old counsel she though of the jedi who strolled the halls and studied ancient archive books of knowledge.

Standing up she heard a distant sound that echoed through the empty rooms and halls.

Still waiting Bastila? A man said entering the room in a Yellow jacket.

Yes I am. She said. I wish he'd return soon.

So do I. He told her. He was my best friend since the day he woke up on Taris.

I know Carth I know.

Well are you going to help me? Carth asked her.

Yeah just thinking. She responded slowly.

Well if were going to impress him we better wipe the cobwebs out of the chair your sitting in. He joked.

She jumped and looked back and saw what he said was true.

Carth laughed and said now that was pretty funny you should be the comedian at the cantina.

Must you always joke around Carth? She asked him irritatingly.

Didn't he show you humour before he left? He asked calmly.

Yeah your right I guess I should learn humour if I'm gona be with him all the time.

Well lets get started. He said proudly.

Well aren't you two a sorry bunch. A man said in a bright brown black and red robe stepped in the room.

The both turned there heads and gasped at who the man was that had entered the room.

Revan! Bastila exclaimed out loud and ran to hug him.

Hey Bastila Carth long time no see.

Didn't I tell you not to call me that anymore? He said in a humorous tone.

I'm sorry…Taarn. Bastila said sorely.

It's okay Bastila. He said. So Carth Your pretty quiet what's up?

Oh you know the usual I'm just glad your back. He told him. So who told you where to find us?

Lets just say I persuaded a republic soldier to tell me, than to keep it a secret. He grinned

You didn't force persuade the poor man did you? Carth asked.

No but I wan-

I don't care how you got here I'm just glad your back. Said Bastila cutting him off and clutching to him like she'd fly out of an airlock if she let go.

Bastila let go with the satisfaction of her love finally returning.

So what's the plan then? Taarn asked going to sit down in a nearby chair.

Tell us what happened when you left to fight your war with that exile? Carth asked curiously.

I really don't want to talk about it, it reminds me of Malachor but much worse…He said with a change of mood.

I understand… Carth stated. I wouldn't want to talk about any battle I was in even if my son asked me.

Where are the others Bastila? Taarn Asked her.

Bastila Paused for a second before speaking.

Jolee is on Kashyyyk as far as I know, Mission is studying to become a pilot here on Coruscant , Zaalbar is also on Kashyyyk leading the Wookies with Becca's blade. Last time I heard Canderous is on Dxun but I only heard that from the exile. Juhani is visiting the remains of her home world. And the droids they are with Bao-dur Telos.

So that's where everyone is do you think you could call mission over here if it's not interrupting her studying? Taarn asked.

Why can't you do it yourself? Responded Carth

Well she doesn't deserve to miss out on a surprise. He told him cheerfully.

True and oh, yeah welcome back Taarn. Carth replied.

Welcome back Taarn. Bastila told him with ease.
