edit 2: updated the red lightsaber history...so y/n's natural kyber crystal turned red when he claimed it.

The mess hall was filled with the sound of laughter and chatter. Ahsoka's youngling Clan, the Raxshir Clan, were contently conversing and eating. They had just finished a lesson of lightsaber combat, whilst y/n and herself had been specially chosen by Master Yoda to help teach the younger initiates.

A rotated diet of polystarch bread with veg-meat, energy supply bars, tasteless calorie balls, ration block chips, and other uninviting foods was all Ahsoka had tasted ever since she joined the Order. She wasn't looking forward to eating.

"Are you guys excited for the Crystal Caves of Ilum?" A Human female called Sabbet asked once y/n and Ahsoka finally chose their equally bland meals and had seated themselves at the bench. Nervous, excited or worried whispers passed around the table as each member thought about the trial ahead.

The Crystal Caves of Ilum were part of the Jedi Initiate Trials, and the Raxshir Clan was journeying there in two days. The younglings would travel off-world to the distant ice-based world of Ilum, discovering themselves on an expedition to find their kyber crystal. Then, they would create their very own lightsaber.

Before, younglings used the provided training lightsabers, or sometimes wooden swords. Now, they had the chance to build their own.

y/n had heard all about this adventure. Despite having manufactured his own lightsaber already, he had never travelled to Ilum before.

When he was eight, just before he joined the Jedi Order, he had been under the guidance of another mentor adept in the Force. He was supposed to go find his own crystal, but instead he had felt a calling to two of the unclaimed kybers that his mentor kept in a large brown woven bag. In y/n's hand, the previously uncoloured crystals had assumed a bright shade of scarlet. Using them, he had constructed his own weapon, just like one of his 'predecessors'.

It had been a huge feat for him, and y/n regarded his lightsaber, hanging off his belt, with pride and satisfaction.

He was glad that the Jedi Council had been tolerant enough to offer him the opportunity to do the same as the other students. However, he knew the real reason was that they hoped he would claim another kyber crystal, this one of a colour other than red.
