Perun looked upon his comrade with veiled amusement as the Corellian underwent an epiphany. Arctus' progression from ardent disbelief to acceptance, followed by unanticipated regret, unraveled like an intricately choreographed ballet before the Ma'alkerrite Jedi Knight.
"It appears enlightenment dawns upon you in curious ways, Arctus," he stated, his resonant voice imbued with affable sarcasm. The remark, however, was not meant to offend but to alleviate the disquietude evident in his companion's demeanor.
Perun allowed his golden gaze to wander, finding solace in the ethereal luminescence emitted by the Entity. The pulsating energy suffused the environment, creating an ambiance of tranquility that contrasted with Arctus’ turmoil. He inhaled deeply, the scent of ancient wood and the unique, aromatic bouquet that was the Entity's essence filling his nostrils, grounding him amidst the philosophical upheaval.
Mulling over Arctus' question about the Grandmaster and the Coruscant Nexus, Perun ran a hand through his coarse, white fur. The grandeur of their task dawned upon him, yet he wasn't daunted; he was exhilarated.
"This," he began, gesturing around them, "is a new understanding. One that challenges the very foundation of our beliefs. Explaining this to the Grandmaster will be… interesting. But necessary."
As Arctus' inquiry about life after death filled the air, a hush fell upon their surroundings. The Entity's sagacious response caused Perun to momentarily close his eyes, reflecting on the magnitude of the concept. In his heart, he had always believed in the cyclical nature of life and death, the Force being a cosmic river into which all life ultimately merged.
A grin gradually spread across his visage at Arctus' last comment. "If the afterlife is brimming with those you've left behind," he jested, "I must say, it sounds like a particularly rowdy party."
But his jesting words belied the solemnity of the moment, the profundity of the Entity's wisdom echoing in his psyche. This experience was more than a mere philosophical discourse; it was a galactic revelation that sought to redefine their understanding of the Force. And to carry this knowledge forward, to spread it amongst their kin, was a task of extraordinary magnitude.
Turning to the Entity, Perun found a strange semblance of peace in its colossal presence. "Thank you," he began earnestly, "for this enlightenment. But, how do we impart this knowledge without instigating a philosophical upheaval, or worse, inciting fear?"
The Entity, in its tranquil voice, responded, "Share what you've learned here, but remember, all truths are a matter of perspective. Let your Jedi kin find their own enlightenment, as you two have."
Nodding in understanding, Perun regarded Arctus, the knowledge they'd garnered becoming a bridge between them, a common understanding born from shared enlightenment. With this newfound wisdom, the path they must tread became clear. It was time to return, to carry this profound revelation back to their Jedi brethren.
"Come, Arctus," Perun beckoned, a renewed determination glittering in his golden eyes, "we have much to do."
