Isar stood motionless with his hands clasped behind his back. His glacier-blue gaze was fixed on the series of holoprojections presented before him in one of the many subterranean training rooms of the Sullust Jedi Temple. Isar had arrived a few months ago, but he had foregone the actual effort of seeking out a master in favor of more pressing concerns. Specifically, he'd been wrapped up in an operation to liberate the world of Karfeddion. While it had started off well enough, it quickly slid into a messy combination of genocide and practically palpable dark side influence.
Based on the after action reports that he had reviewed, the vast majority of the Galactic Alliance focus seemed to be on the military component of the First Order. This was something of a reality with the One Sith too. At least with the One Sith, Isar surmised that they had so completely integrated the Sith Religion into everything they did that it actually...made them less effective. The upper spheres of command squabbled for power to the point where a civil war had recently broke out according to reports the New Jedi Order had received from Alliance Intelligence. Personally, his greater concern was the massive swell of darkness he'd felt on Karfeddion.
Yes. He'd felt these things before. (False: His implanted memories merely give him the perception of having interacted with numerous Sith in the past). However, it had never been quite so elusive. There was talk, whispers of a sect referring to themselves as the Knights of Ren clinging to shadows as they executed their duties. It reminded him of the historical records relating to the First Galactic Empire. It had been destroyed of course...mostly because one of the Empire's own had turned on the Emperor.
So. Isar realized he could no longer truly hide from the reality of the galaxy. His time on the sidelines had to come to an end, and his training had to be completed. Exhaling softly, the young Jedi awaited the man that had selected him as an apprentice following the results of a recent Padawan Tournament. [member="Ryan Korr"]. According to the information currently being played before Isar's eyes, the man had risen to be Grandmaster of the Jedi Order. Apprenticed to another Jedi that Isar knew from historical recordings...albeit never much a focus of any such work. There were other Jedi of the time that Isar had studied. [member="Kiskla Grayson"] chief among them, respecting her tenacity and tireless devotion to success regardless of the odds. For some reason, the young man identified with a great deal of the woman's methods and reported philosophies.
Plus. She was Kiffar as he was.
