Star Wars
Reincarnated as a Tooka
A Isekai Star Wars story
Part 4f – Corellia Maps ?
Why is it so hard to find a road map ? Corellia is a maze!
-Padawan Tanya, Corellia, 21 days before Battle of Geonosis
Tanya was a young girl, about twelve years old, old enough to get chosen as a Padawan Learner to a Knight or Master, but she stuck around the Jedi Archives, working with and helping, Kara when needed thanks to Kara being with child at the time.
So when Undryl explained to her about how things worked and how she lived and came back, and kept hearing a voice, Tanya nodded. "I Remember reading about that in the Archives, Master Poof said they were myths and werent true, but I believed otherwise. I am glad to be able to prove him wrong, poor guy died in the bowls of Coruscants Hydrostation last year to stop a poison, I never got to apologise to him."
She seemed upset about the fact that Yarel Poof was dead, and she never got to apologise to him for her behaivor. It was upsetting to be sure, but there might be a way for her to be able to apologise to the old Master ? "Tanya" Undryl said after a few seconds. The girl looked to her. "Could you come with me, I think I know a way for you to speak to Master Poof's spirit, I think you can still tell him you are sorry" She held out a paw to the girl
Tanya smiled and took it, the two left Madiem and Kara in the dinning room of the Stathe mansion and headed for Undryls bedroom.
As they left, Kara smiled, "Ever since Master Poof had died, she has been beating herself up everytime he is mentioned. I am glad someone has a chance to help her find peace"
"Any peace is good peace" Madiem replied as Kara turned to her, still confused. "You plan to go to Arda three, and I think Tooge can help you get there. If I am not mistaken, he does missions for Master Vanvaris." Madiem then explained why Baozi and his Padawan were present and staying at the Stathe Mansion in the first place.
"Baozi has a good eye for finding the truth, growing up with him, it was not easy to keep secrets from him, he excelled at finding out the truth, following the Force was one thing that helped him in that" Kara said, many were the days of playing games, keeping secrets as part of those games, and Baozi finding said secrets out, sometimes getting the information wrong too.
"My husband wanted to know who killed our daughter, Undryl, but Baozi and Master Stardrifter confirmed rebirth is real, my daughter, Undryl still lives, but no longer human, and yet I still recognise her as my beloved daughter." Madiem went on to explain how Bodgey had revealed the truth, Undryl had been reborn as a Tooka, and was only a bit larger in stature than Yoda.
"So when Undryl was brought in by a security officer, and said hello to us, we knew it was her but had the security officers leave before she could speak." Madiem was finally at peace, she had lost her daughter, but had her brought back. "Undryl mentioned a few times, Arda Three, and now you want to go there, I think you and her should go there. But first, wait here, stay here on Corellia a bit, wait a few days for things to settle on Coruscant, if Tooge were to head for Arda Three right now, he'd have to take you by or through Coruscant directly."
"He would yes, unless we went down to Denon instead" Kara brough up a map of the galaxy. So lost they were in plotting ahead, Kara finally relented when Madiem made it clear to settle for a bit on Corellia, the Stathe Manor was their home for now, Once everyone was settled, well rested, everyone looked as if on their last nerve to begin with.

Undryl lead Tanya by the hand to her bedroom. The door slid open soundlessly, Taia the Nexu kitling curled up on her cat bed regarded the human and Tooka briefly before curling up to sleep again as Undryl went to the bed, hopping onto it she settled into a meditative stance.
"Tanya, Please, join me in meditating, I think we can do this together." Undryl said to the girl who nodded in reply and sat on the bed as well, her back to Undryl. Closing her eyes as she settled into a meditative pose, Tanya also began to meditate.
A half cycle passed.
Another half cycle passed.
Finally a soft voice called out to them "Master Stathe, Padawan Tanya, to what do I owe the pleasure ?" Turning as her eyes opened, Tanya stared, there as a Force Ghost, stood Jedi Master Yarel Poof. The long necked Jedi Master had a kindly expression on his face as he looked to them both. And briefly, Tanya was dumbstruck.
"I feel that we were to speak to you, or rather, Tanya, wanted to speak to you." Undryl said simply, turning to the Ghost of Master Yarel, he referred to her as Master Stathe ? "Tanya ?" Undryl said with a gentle nudge
"Hmm ?" The girl was briefly struck dumb with fear, and worry, but it was quickly set aside as Undryl was right there, and Master Yarel had a kind expression on his otherwise very stioc face. She noddede, "yes actually,. Master Poof, I... I wanted to apologise to you for how I acted in the Archives last year. I was foolish and acted on my emotions."
Rarel smiled, "It's alright, Tanya, I can see you have thought heavily on your grieviences and wished to atone for your mistakes on my behalf. For this we are both in agreement. I forgive you, child." Yarel said as he held out a device, a hilt of a lightsaber. "This is for you, I feel you should have it"
"Me ?" Tanya was struck dumb once again, trhis time with confusion, Yarel Poof wanted her to have his lightsaber hilt ? She gently reached for it as Yarel set the hilt in her hand, it was real, it felt, heavy "I... I dont..." she stammered, she wasnt sure what to say or if she should refuse the weapon.
"It is alright, Tanya, had I survived and resumed my duties, I would have indeed picked you as my Padawan at the Padawan Trials the following year. But I am glad to see that Master Kaal has chosen to teach you in a safer place." Yarel had a happy tone to his voice. He turned to Undryl, "And to you Master Stathe, help them as best you can, and if you're are as lucky as the Force made you to be, then perhaps things will indeed be possible."
"Thank you Master" Undryl said with a slight bow.
Yarel started to fade as a tear slid from Tanytas face. "Tanya" He said seeing her start to cry. "The Force will be with you, Always" with that he faded away, Tanya felt at peace for once, as if a great weight had been lifted off her shoulders. For once it felt right.
She didnt have to worry. Her gaze went to the weapon in her hand. Yarel Poofs lightsaber hilt, it felt empty, there was no call of a crystal that Undryl could feel. She placed a paw on Tanyas shoulder. "Tanya, are you alright ?"
"I am, I feel lighter, Master Poof, he, he forgave me ?" Tanya blinked as tears slid from her eyes. Undryl nodded.
"He did more then that, judging by the fact he gave you his lightsaber hilt of all things. Not only did he forgive you, but he also wanted you to have something in return. Dont let it be in vain." Undryl said. Tanya nodded, and very gently clipped the hilt to her belt.
"You look tired" Undryl then said, she offered her own bed for Tanya to sleep, the girl was confused but accepted. Sleeping within seconds of hitting the pillow. It made Undryl smile as she curled up next to her in just her fur, like a common Tooka would.
