Via Dolorosa
Amans In Tenebris
The time finally came at last for her Apprentice to learn to construct his first lightsaber. The lesson would not be easy but the reward was well worth the effort. There were those that relied on both a blaster and a lightsaber, but she was a traditionalist and only carried the latter. She saw no need to tote around a clumsy blaster especially if one took the time and patience to learn how to wield the ancient weapon of the Sith and Jedi Orders. She was no master swordsmen but she knew how to use her weapon, and use it with deadly efficiency.
Darth Venefica had decided to forgo the planet hopping she did to construct her own lightsaber, and elected to go to Mustafar for the trip. If her Apprentice later wanted to build a different blade, one that directly suited him, then he would do so without her guidance. Everyone needed to discover the galaxy for themselves at one pointe or another, just as she did.
She didn't expect to see any major changes to the planet since her last visit, and she was right. It was still hot with lava filled veins that jagged along the rocky surface. She was going to make this a test for Apprentice. She had ordered some of the troops from her Star Destroyer, The Meshuga, to land hours before them and place some of the key components in locations with the knowledge of where they could be found only disclosed to her. She wanted to see how well her Apprentice could perform.
