A Common Bond - Padme Amidala

[Navaria Tarkin]

The training room was barren except for the blue padded mat that covered the ground with a certain Jedi Knight meditating, focusing her energies for the common training session. Her hood was pulled back, revealing her long brown hair. Navaria's eyes were closed as she concentrated on her breathing, letting her chest fall softly with each intake of breath ...

OOC~ edited cuz I misunderstood a typo in your recruitment post sorry about that <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

[Padme Amidala 55]

Walks into the traingroom and sees her master mediating she slips off her jedi robe an kneels down in front of her master and waits on her master to come out of mediation

[Navaria Tarkin]

The presence of her Padawan filled the back of her mind so Navaria opened her blue eyes, smiling at Padme.

"Good. You're here. I trust you are finding things well around the Order?"

OOC~ If you have any questions, feel free to send me a Private message or my AIM name in my personal profile. There is also the helpdesk too incase you have questions.... you can also find someone to make you a sig there or I can recommend someone else... that is if you want one.

[Padme Amidala 55]

Yes master I am finding my way around the order.

OOC-If you want to talk to me my im name is TNPooh1977. and yes I would like a signture

[Navaria Tarkin]

"Excellent. Then we should begin by getting to know one another. Xazor had the pleasure to meet you first... tell me about yourself."

[Padme Amidala 55]

I was born On NAboo, I lived there with my parents for two years until a jedi knight whose name i don't know Found me and found out i was force senstive With my parents blessing he took me with him to deliver me tot he JEdi temple on Coreilla. The ship sat down at a docking bay just two blocks away from the Temple As we were walking down the street a storm trooper shot the JEdi knight he fell down and died there, But just before he died he told me to run and I did. I wandered the streets for 4 hours and I was found by Daniel Antilles he took me home and he and his wife raised me as if i was their own. When i was 10, I met Daniel's Nephew
Wedge Antilles. 9 years later I left Corellia and came here to the jedi temple to pursue my dream of being a jedi because I felt i owed it to the knight who found me

[Navaria Tarkin]

Her eyes lost some of their luster; saddened by Padme's tale.

"I'm sorry that you first experience with the Jedi ended in tragedy. At least it turned out well and you found good people to take care of you. There was balance."

Then her eyes narrowed.

"You felt you owed the Knight and that is why you are here?What do you owe yourself?"

[Padme Amidala 55]

I owe it to myself to became a jedi as well, It is that when i was growing up there on Correlia
I had dreams of myself as a Jedi. But I want to become a jedi more than anything, Not just for me but also for the knight who found me and set me on this path.

[Navaria Tarkin]

If she had received visions in her dreams, Padme must be sensitive to the Unifying Force, thought Navaria.

"Your dreams. Tell me about them. There might be more insight to them besides your desire to become a Jedi."

[Padme Amidala 55]

I remeber one dream very well. I was about 10 at the time. I saw in my dream the Jedi Knight who took me away from my parents. We were walking along when all of a sudden he left and as i looked around I saw a jungle planet and it was full of Jeadi and I saw myself there with a group of padawans and we were haveing fun
Than I woke up but i remebered that dream for some reason. About six montuths ago I had the same dream as i did when i Was 10 and the JEdi who took me from my parents looked at me and he said it is time for you to go to the acadmey on yavin 4 and become a jedi. I left corellia 2 weeks ago, and booked passage to Yavin 4 when we landed and i walked out of the ship i saw Nothing but jungle. And i relized this was the planet that had been in all of my dreams. But as I got off the ship that Jedi knight appeared to me and he told me this is where my destiny was. He had brown hair and Green eyes, But i don't remeber his name.

[Navaria Tarkin]

OOC~ I had some time.

IC~ "Well, it is obvious that one vision came true."

She smiled.

"You are here now on Yavin to train."

Her brows furrowed in thought.

"I'm unsure of what the image of the Knight showing up at the end of your dreams signifies, besides the obvious. What was his name? The one that brought you here?"

[Padme Amidala 55]

Now that i am thinking about it his name was Aaron Windu. he was the jedi that found me I remeber his name now but i didn't a minute ago.

[Navaria Tarkin]

Navaria smiled knowingly.

"Sometimes the best time to talk to the Force is when you aren't at all."

That was probably confusing... so she elaborated.

"The Force helps to guide a Jedi. Even when we aren't focusing on its power, it influences our actions and thoughts, trying to give us hints to what lays ahead."

[Padme Amidala 55]

Yes master, I know it helps guide Jedi, The force guided me here, to start my force training to become a JEdi.

[Padme Amidala 55]

Master look at my new sig

[Navaria Tarkin]

OOC~ I love the sig! glad it came out so good!

Also, you have access to the forum called Avalon. We discuss matters relating to the Jedi and OOC things in there <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

IC~ "Yes, that is true. But that was the obvious calling of the Force that you know for certain.

I am speaking of the Knight that brought you here. I'm curious to know if there is something more to him ..."

She stuided Padme's face.

"Do you know much about Aaron?"

[Padme Amidala 55]

All I know is that he was a Jedi Knight, HE never told me much about himself,I guess he didn't have time
He just told me his name, I remeber him as being really tall.That is all I know about him.

[Navaria Tarkin]

"Well, be mindful of your visions. If you have anymore... inform me and we can work them out together. Not always easy to try and interpret them and I can help you focus properly when we get to that point.

Now, let's move on. What was your first experience with the Force? Were you taught anything before you were brought here?"

[Padme Amidala 55]

No i wasn't, I read about the goodside and the badside of the force and how it surronds us and binds the galazy together. that is all I really knew about the force

[Navaria Tarkin]

Navaria smiled.

"Yes, the Light and the Dark. A Jedi has a clear mind and lets the Force flow through him smoothly, unlike a Sith who uses the Force as a servant, only taking and never giving anything back.

A Jedi and the Force form a relationship with one another that is fluid and beneficial. Tell, from what little you know, how do you think that is possible? And remember ... trust your insights ..."

[Padme Amidala 55]

THe force is a great part of a jedi's life. How do i think it is possible? The force is all around us, A Jedi is strong with the force, and it flows through them. I think it binds the Jedi and the force together to help keep the peace in the galaxy.

[Navaria Tarkin]

"And now it is time you learn how that is done exactly. To say that a Jedi uses the Force is much different then doing it yourself. It actually sounds much easier then when put into practice.

Now, I want you to close your eyes and focus on a memory. A memory that had brought you happiness, joy, or even laughter. Clear your mind of everything but that memory.."

[Padme Amidala 55]

Closes eyes and clears her mind and finds a memory, she found one, and cleared her mind of everything but that memory of her and Wedge playing in the ocean on corellia when he came home for a brief vivsit. and about how much fun they had that day.

[Navaria Tarkin]

"Good..."

Navaria felt that Padme was focusing on the memory. It was a happy one by the emotions coming from her Padawan.

"... now. Concentrate on the emotions only ... let the images fade away."

[Padme Amidala 55]

Contracts on the emotions and lets the images slip away.

[Navaria Tarkin]

"Now that your mind is clear .... only the emotions present .. how do you feel?"

[Padme Amidala 55]

Very happy

[Navaria Tarkin]

"I would think so."

She said with a smile.

"Now, release that emotion until nothing clouds your mind. Your thoughts should be free and open .. sensitive to the Force that is around you .... then you are ready to take your first step into a much bigger world."

[Padme Amidala 55]

Slowly releases that thought into the force

[Padme Amidala 55]

Let's go of the emotion.

[Navaria Tarkin]

OOC~ Just so you know, there is an edit link so you don't need to post twice <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

IC~ "Now that your mind is clear, let go of everything. It will open your mind to the Force. Don't fight it and don't try to make it come into you. Just do what is natural and follow your instincts."

[Padme Amidala 55]

Let's go and feels the force around her

[Navaria Tarkin]

"Describe how the Force feels to you."

[Padme Amidala 55]

It feels alive and warm

[Navaria Tarkin]

"And what is it telling you ... Now, it might not be words but with everyone, it always has a certain call and sense to every single being."

[Padme Amidala 55]

It is telling me that everything will be okay

[Padme Amidala 55]

OOC: Where are you master

[Master Yoghurt]

OOC: She just finished her finals yesterday and said she should be back to posting tonight after work

[Navaria Tarkin]

OOC~ Thank you Yogster ^_^

IC~ "That everything will be okay? Is there something bothering you, Padme?"

[Padme Amidala 55]

I sense Dark times ahead for the jedi in the future,master and that is what is bothering me I don't know what the dark times will be but the force is telling me thay when those darktimes come The jedi will be alright.

[Navaria Tarkin]

"Dark times for the Jedi."

Navaria's face became lined with sadness as she closed her eyes.

"I fear that already has come to pass. The Sith are numerous and the Empire has its clutches on many systems. Dark times are what we live in."

Under a hooded gaze, Navaria looked upon her Padawan.

"But that doesn't mean we give up. As you already have felt. For every good we do... we get that much closer to finding a way to bring order again .."

[Padme Amidala 55]

Yes Master, I will keep that in mind

[Navaria Tarkin]

"One day soon, you will have to face a Sith. It's my job to prepare you for that confrontation on many levels. Not all battles are physical.. the lure of the Dark Side is strong and you need a strong base of understanding of self.

Now tell me... Who are you? What do you want?"

[Padme Amidala 55]

I am PAdme, and I want nothing than to serve the force and help combat the great evil on the horizon

[Navaria Tarkin]

"Now ... take that strength and what I have taught you so far ..."

She unclipped her sabre and placed in on the mat between the two of them.

"... and lift the sabre through the Force."

[Padme Amidala 55]

OCC: sorry i haven't been here in a while master, work had been hetic, and I was furloughed last week till they could get a budget passed here in Tennessee.

ICC: contractes on the saber, and slowly it rises from the floor.

[Navaria Tarkin]

OOC~ No worries at all Padme. Real life comes first. It's our Roleplaying motto :lol

IC~ "Good ... now focus on making the sabre spin .. slowly ... You don't want to push yourself an cause it to spin out of control. Close your eyes and picture the sabre moving the exact way you wish it to move .... and just let the Force guide your thoughts.

It is easier then you think ... trust in the Force."

[Padme Amidala 55]

Closes her eyes and concartes and sees the saber spinning to the right slowly than spinning to the left.

[Navaria Tarkin]

Navaria nodded to herself, liking what she was seeing.

"Now, angle the top of the sabre away from both of us... keeping it completely still ..."
