Summary: In the Earth is the Milky Year of 1982 and Uruguayan player Fernando Morena completed hours of service for being inside the Exoplanetarian Jedi Reserve. The next step was going to be completed under a promise he kept after Blood Swamp battle against General Khaldan.

He clearly remembers that day in Naboo in the aftermath of his healing with the Force Practitioner on the medical ship.

"I want to get even more. My idea is to use my football club as the façade for a future academy... is not easy in my country. The military will confiscate my weapon and I'm really doomed" Morena says "but I feel that I learned a lot of the Jedi order despite of coming from the Earth as we call our planet."

"In which sense, Fiina-Mo? Can you tell me?"

Morena sighs and contemplates the landscape. The dusk is close. Red hands are coming closer to the human one. Morena caresses them. With the other he caress his right lekku.

"And I was going to get used to it"

"Doesn't matter, Fiina-Mo. You can add hours of service if you want. But the mission will be more difficult."
"It doesn't matter. Difficult, better" Morena replies "you always put me to the test. The Force is not like that, but I feel that your teachings are the reflex of what the sport club feels all the time. You know we are the offspring of the people who were Force Practitioners on the Earth. And they were warriors too. So the same principle of perseverance to reach goals is what you preach. Maybe is not what you expect on the Jedi Order over here... but I feel that I learned so much with you by my side"

He remembers that the fight in Clak'dor VII almost costs his career as football player, because he was doomed to use a corset with painkillers... if it wasn't for a Force Practitioner. He's ashamed of his diagonal 19 cm scar on his back.
The light whip was powerful to leave a scar like that. But he feels that his scar was worth to achieve his goals as a Jedi.  He feels that everything he came through, the Second Copper War, was worth enough to feel the reflex of Peñarol's philosophy. He knows what
"a lo Peñarol" means. It means suffering, perseverance, shall efforts... that the Force is better if it's achieved with those attributes.

So, in 1982 was alone in the hotel room in Chile. He gets shirtless, leaving the pieces of his lightsaber wrapped in his jersey, full of sweat after that tournament final. Closing his eyes, he takes the pieces carefully with the Force.

The pieces at the beginning were spread through the room, including the yellow crystal extracted with so much pain from Ilum (yes, he was feeling the pain on his scar). The yellow light was still there glowing. The cell power and the emitter were coming closer, until at last, the pieces were in order.

As long as he meditates, making the pieces being aligned through the Force; Fernando would recitate the Crystal Code in silence; but then from his lips, he remembers the deeds Peñarol has made through the years, through strength, heart and pain, even he can feel the smoke and coal through the Force. Another version was made... and flourished through his lips:

My heart is with golden cover and its core made of coal
The coal evolves to crystal, which makes the soul even clearer
and let the greatness shine to the point of splendor
Even my land is small... in the Force I got a stronger point
Making talk for Itself beyond the stellar boundaries
Because the coal becomes crystal, where the crystal is the heart of the blade.
The heart is the crystal of the Jedi,
The Jedi is the crystal of the Force.
The Force is the blade of the heart.
All are intertwined.
The crystal, the blade, the Jedi
Of gold and coal. You are one.

He opens his eyes and the moonlight reflects the hilt, his finger draws his scar once more. There's no pain, but the memory is still there, and still hurts. But he forgets everything taking his hilt with both hands. And he ignites it.

The yellow light covers his room and lights up the night in Santiago. He forgets that some teammate can see him with the strange light, and listens to that particular sound, so he turns it off.

Is time to go home.
And is time to make his promise.

It came true years later, in 1994 with a pupil from Rivera named Pablo Bengoechea.
