Jedi Sorcerer
Starlin was worried about Ceri.
This was nothing new. He might seem insanely mellow and laid-back most of the time, but he was always concerned about his apprentices. He couldn’t help it. After all, he still remembered what it was like to be them, and his padawan years hadn’t exactly been nothing but fun.
Well, they were mostly fun. But they certainly weren’t carefree.
Ceri, though… He couldn’t get the image of her fear-stricken face out of his head. If Indomuodo was too much for her, how would she be able to handle the Sith?
Makko and Tenn and Starlin himself had all led hard lives before joining the Jedi. Ceri had not. Ceri was an innocent. She had come from loving parents, a good home, safety and comfort and sunshine. She just wanted to be everybody’s friend. Eli had been like that, and… Starlin didn’t want another Eli on his hands. But how could he prevent her from turning out like him? What mistakes had he made with Eli, that he could avoid with Ceri?
The dilemma troubled him endlessly, until one day he remembered something Syd had taught him long ago. From there, the lesson planned itself.
One day, while his other students were in classes, he asked Ceri to meet him in the Temple archives. He didn’t tell her what they were going to do, only to bring her lightsaber.
