"Tython is beautiful and powerful, enigmatic and dangerous, filled with mysteries and open to those comfortable with the Force. It was here long, long before us, and these mysteries persisted with no eyes to see them, no minds to contemplate them. And that is why I fear Tython. It means everything to us, and yet we are nothing to it. We are merely passing through."

Tython.
Pain was something new to the Lethan. He remembered the teachings he had received when he had first been recruited. Everything that he had believed about the force revolved around the teachings that his former, now deceased master, had taught him. There was an ancient saying that he had repeated to his Initiate on multiple occasions, and it had stuck, and was the entire reason that here he stood, outside of the council chambers, awaiting for the new Knight..or Master that had been assigned to him. He moved to sit on the outer ledge, his feet dangling far above the ice cold river that lay below. As soon as he sat, he lingered for a few moments, and grew tired of sitting. He stood, his robes flowed around him, however with the hood pulled down one was easily able to identify the wearer as a Twi'lek, with the tell tale Lekku wrapped around the young Lethan's neck.
Fear, Pain, Anger, Hatred, Darkside.
Those were the important parts of what he was told. Each one of these were related to the other in one way shape or form, and if he were going to crush down any of the emotions that followed to the Darkside, it was these. The maverick Initiate learned these. He learned to love without fear of loss. He had never felt pain. Emotional pain, anyway. He did not know how it hurt, until he lost his master three months ago. How the adolescent Initiate learned to crush the pain, worse than any blaster shot, cut, or lightsaber strike he had received, was through the fact that he knew there was no death, there was only, indeed, the Force.
Now as he stood, rather than sat, his anxiety palpable. He knew better than to dwell on the past, but he couldn't help it. Here he was, a seventeen year old Initiate, with a slain master, getting assigned to another master, who would have his own completely different way of teaching him than Zek did. He sighed, crushing his anxiety down, until it was almost non existent, and put his hands in the pocket of his robes, leaning against the pillar he had been pacing around.
All he had to do now, was wait.
