Chapter Text
“Master Thrgod!” Grand Master Satele Shan’s voice stopped Linsel as she was hurrying down the corridor.
insel took a deep breath and turned. She bowed low, as Master Satele approached her.
“Master Thrgod,” the Grand Master repeated upon nearing Linsal. “It is good to see you on Tython.”
“Thank you, Master Satele,” Linsal answered. “I have returned only a few days ago.”
“So I have heard,” the other woman said. “I have yet to receive a report on your mission, though.”
“Apologies,” Linsal answered, lowering her eyes. “The mission was of mixed results, and so I have delayed the report until further research.”
Master Satele looked surprised. “You have been away for many months, my friend. Surly you found something?”
Linsal nodded tightly, then gestured to an empty room off the corridor, so they may speak privately.
Once they were inside, Linsal laced her fingers in front of her and looked levelly at Master Satele. “Initially I followed the lead provided by the council and went to the Thilla, but when I reached there I could feel a great disturbance in the Force. It was apparent to me that the disturbance was caused by the Lord Wrath, so I followed as the Force guided me. Eventually I reached the cause of the disturbance and in the time since arrival have worked to eliminate it, to bring peace to the Force. I could not return until this task was completed.”
Master Satele looked at her appraisingly as she spoke. When Linsal was finished the Grand Master nodded. “And what of the Lord Wrath?”
Linsal shook her head. “I was unable to apprehend the Wrath. But I found valuable information, which I wish to investigate further.”
“Of course,” Master Satele responded levelly. “There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.”
Linsal bowed again. “I wish to resume my work, if I may?”
“Yes, yes,” the Grand Master smiled tightly. “May the Force be ever your guide, my friend.”
