It’s a beautiful day in the kingdom.

Lira is helping Buster make his rounds of all of his friends in Heavenheim (and getting treats as well as scratches).

Connel is standing in front of the statue of his father, Caltin just shaking his head. Someone in town had called him something. Not “Knight Vanagor”, not “Conservator”, not “Master Jedi”... no the little girl called him “Master Vanagor”. Him. He looked around as if looking for someone else. It was an innocent thing on her part, make no mistake, but it bothered him. Something he’d have to look the old man over and bring up.

Right now.

You know? For a dead guy… you still know how to cause problems. He exhaled. I don’t know what else you want from me. There was no bitterness in his voice, just exhaustion. He thought having been lucky to find Lira would ease things but they didn’t, they only made things worse. He’s exhausted, from years of isolation, crawling through the proverbial mud, dealing with the pain, the legacy dumped on him.

I spent years trying to figure out what you'd do… Turns out that's a terrible way to live. Standing there quietly as if about to admit the truth. Not a heroic truth, a real one. I don't know if I'm doing any of this right.

He looked down. Lira deserves better… The students deserve better… The Jedi deserve better… Sometimes I think they all got stuck with me because you weren't around. I wasn’t enough…

Then there it was…

You always did overthink everything.

The Force shifted and a familiar presence sat on the pedestal of the statue of himself. Caltin just sat there looking at him with a smirk as if to say “This again?” You’ve spent years trying to be my son. Allow me to let you in on a secret only to you. You always were.

Then Connel went on to tell him how he felt when someone called him “Master Vanagor” and everything started to come together. Connel. The Ghost of his Father looked at him. Do you know what the difference is between a Knight and a Master?

When Caltin had asked him the difference between a Jedi Knight and a Master, Connel had to think. His initial thought was one’s connection to the Force but that was not necessarily true.

Connel finally explained that rank reflected responsibility, wisdom, and restraint as much as raw power. A Master guided others, tempered their instincts, and protected the weak, while a Knight carried discipline into action, building alliances and upholding the Order’s code even when darkness pressed hard. Caltin listened, nodding slowly, absorbing the distinction.

… and waved it away.

The difference between a Knight and a Master is that a Knight asks “What should I do?” Where a Master asks “What do they need?” Gesturing out towards Heavenheim, like he was gesturing to Chrysa, Lira, Buster, the Heavenshields.

Connel was confused at first. How do I know when to ask that? Does it come with practice? Time? How did you learn?

Then Caltin answered, not as a Ghost of a Jedi Master, but as a father. Son, you’ve been doing it for years.He smiled, a quiet light in his eyes. Tests arrive without notice, and each choice trains you. Stay steady, listen deeply, and the path reveals itself. The night air held their breath as the mountains echoed back, and the weight of responsibility settled firmly on his shoulders.

Connel… A Jedi Master isn't someone who knows everything. A Jedi Master is someone others can safely become themselves around.
