Exasperated Asrul responded "I'm no longer your master, but you did well." for some reason, he felt quite relieved at that truth.
As the pair walked away, Master Orion-sol called out. "Oh, Dian'jie, Master Harfang is expecting you in the Jedi archives"
How many times Dian'jie had tried to secretly access his fathers archived holocron had almost become a running joke at the temple when he was a youngling. Everytime however Master Harfang's encryptions and watchful eye had thwarted his clumsy attempts.
"Oh, it's you" Master Harfang sighed at the sight of a almost skipping Dian'jie
"I'm here to s...."
"I KNOW, WE ALL KNOW. You've been trying for years. Fine. It's over there." Master Harfang gestured with a wave of his hand in the direction of the archived holocrons.
"Thank you Master" Dian'jie uncharacteristically showing some respect and bowing. The only response from Master Harfang was a 'humph' and a return to his busy work.
"I'll leave you Dian'jie, be careful with the knowledge you will discover here". Placing his hand on his former padawans shoulder. "There is always a choice."
Accessing holocron of Hu'thrane Lan...
...
...
Access granted. Dian'jie let out a little 'ha' (Master Harfang still heard it, glancing over and shaking his head)
Hu'thrane Lan
Birthplace: Corellia
Current Location: Unknowned yet sighted on Dantooine.
Siblings: None
Spouse: Deceased
Children: One surviving. Dian'jie Lan.
Brief History:
Hu'thrane was identified as force sensitive at a young age, the son of a Green Jedi, he too became one. Not only was he strong in the force, he was strong in body and mind too. Very passionate and loyal. We would say, overly aggressive too. He married and had a son. With the war with the Sith Empire Hu'thrane strongly objected to the Green Jedi's mandate of only concerning themselves with Corellia. He longed to combat the Sith Empire wherever they might be. His concern though of course was for his family.
His order however laid his concerns to rest. They gave him their blessing to travel to Courscant and join the Jedi Order and that they would take care of his wife and son in his absence.
He was a welcome addition to our order, while full of emotion, it was tempered with a strong sense of practicality, and his skill in 'negotiating' was exceptional.
Then the fateful day happened. An urgent holocron from Corellia. Hu'thrane immediately departed, on his arrival his fears were confirmed.
His Wife. His Son.
Dead.
To say his grief was overwhelming would be an understatement. When asked the Green Jedi present explained a team bounty hunters had somehow killed the Green Jedi protecting his family, and had successfully escaped the Corellian system. The attached holocron shows Hu'thrane muttering you all failed me and then turning on his Jedi brethren and slaying them where they stood without any hesitation.
Hu'thranes wroth could not be saited. He was relentless in his hunt for the bounty hunters all over the known galaxy. Each time he found one, he would merciessly cut him (or her) down. It was rumored that his hunt even took him to Dormund Kas and Korriban. His hunt ended on Tatooine with even more loss of life. The final bounty hunter had been captured by a Jedi Order Knight and his padawan. They had been questioning the bounty hunter in relation to another incident (and very important). Hu'thrane found them before the Jedi felt they had garnered enough information from him. Hu'thrane of course was interested in only one thing. Cutting down the tied up bounty hunter. Something the Jedi and padawan could not allow.
Only Hu'thrane left Tattooine alive.
We felt that Hu'thrane had turned to the dark side. (his journeys to Dormund Kas and Korriban adding weight to this), so you can imagine our surprise when he turned up on the steps of the Jedi Temple in Corucsant and surrendering himself to the Jedi Council.
We pondered his fate. His rage had been spent. Those responsible were dead. Now he was a husk of his former self. We deemed time and mediation would eventually heal his wounds. We never found out if this was to pass. A week later, the Sith attacked and some of us in the order suspected Hu'thrane may have played a part in this, and he was Sith and was simply playing a role. The temple destroyed along with many Jedi. Hu'thrane was thought to have perished there too until the discovery of Hu'thrane on Dantooine by Master Agrillon, along with a boy, Dian'jie, claimed to be his son. Currently Hu'thrane is designated as a Rogue Jedi pending further investigation into the accusations of collusion with the Sith Empire with regards to the attack on the Jedi temple on Courscant.
For information regarding Dian'jie Lan please access the following holocron: AH33je_xx42-Dian'jieLan.
"Oh I gotta see this" Muttered Dian'jie.
Access denied.
"So, what did you think" Asruls casual question from his relaxed position in the cantina.
"Dunno, not overly surpised really. Always knew it was something 'shocking'" Dian'jie responded, himself slumping into a soft sofa.
"and..."
"and, well, that's my dad. I know why he did it. Not sure if it was the way to go about it, but I understand."
"Good" Asrul nodded and then made a gesture
A large man then sat down next to Asrul, and removed his hood.
"Congratulations on your knighting son"
