Another return to mortality carried with it several connotations, not many of which Je'gan liked. Those that he did like, of course, he liked rather a lot. Tahira had persuaded him of this, at some length. But mostly, mortality struck him as awful. Too many opportunities to kill things; too many situations where violence was required of him.
It suited his sense of balance, then, to track down one of his very, very few remaining students, a woman he'd taught bent-light illusion when the worlds were flat -- all of them. Coryth Elaris, tiny and titian (sometimes mislabelled 'titan' by the uninitiated, a misnomer which carried all sorts of predictable amusement when applied to Coryth), had been one of the best. Oh, he'd trained Link Tolen, Wickim Totim, Nohemi Allaneh, Chloe Blake, Lono Draclau, but ultimately, apart from his One True Heir Aleidis Ijet, this particular redhead had done the most with his teachings and taken the biggest steps.
Apart from Aleidis, Coryth was certainly his greatest pupil. He'd given her the basics of mental illusion, naturally, started with the ground level of illusion's principles and best practices, but she'd transcended that. She had a gift for one of his rarer and more treasured kinds of illusion.
Bent light. It had been a Jedi skill, then a lost art, one the Disciples of Twilight had called their own. But even the greatest Disciples had focused on invisibility, gloom and so forth, and Je'gan had transcended that, oh, three centuries back.
He was now capable of duplicating himself for a holocam, among other things.
Suffice it to say, he'd taught Coryth an awful lot, and now that he was back from the dead after a good few years, it was time to see where she stood and continue her education.
Naboo. Decent choice, all told. Enough holocams to make things challenging, plus he had unfinished business here ever since his wayward-Padawan son Cerberus knocked up a nobleman's daughter here, thirty years back. He'd asked Coryth to meet him at the edge of the Theed waterfall.
