Lets begin now Xazor.....

[verse dawnstrider]

::An old man waits in the jungle of Yavin 4. He was not to hip to the training area in the temples. The Force flowed better out here. The old man walked with a bad limp on his right leg. He was slouched over, a large hump on his back. He tried hard to get down the steps. It was hard for him in his old age. He looked almost helpless. He made it to the jungle and sat down on a tree root. He waited for the padawan.::

[Xazor]

Xazor walked into the jungle and spotted a man. He was there to train her to be a Jedi. She smiled and approached him.

Hello Master......I am ready.

She bowed respectfully to him.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse started to get up. His old bones did not let him though. He smiled at his padawan. He did not want to look too weak in front of her. He wished she would help without him asking. Things like this were hard in his age. He bones hurt trying to get up. Slowly he put out his hand. Lets see if she passes her first test. He holds his hand out for help.::

[Xazor]

Without really thinking about it, Xazor walked over and took his hand helping to steady him as he rose. Once he was standing firmly, she looked at him and smiled again.

Are you okay now, Master?

She asked with a gentle voice.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse smiled. Passed one of the two tests. Failed at the other. Verse looked like he was about to fall on his 'bad' leg. Instead he kicked the legs out from under the girl. His body rippled as he spun to his feet catching the girl in his arms. The old man dissaepered in the ripple. In his place was a 25 year old man. Long blobd hair kept in a single ponytail. He was well built. Bigger than most, but not so big that his bulk would slow him down. He was built for speed. Not super strenght. Enough muscles to get the job done, but not to much. He had a blond goatee. He laughed as the girl looked shocked.::

"My name is Verse Dawnstrider younge one. I am not a helpless old man. I was testing two things just now. The goodness of your heart, and if you could be fooled by the trick. You passed one, but not the other. I did not plan on you passing the second one though. That was our first lession. Don't belive things are what they truely are. I will teach you the ways of the Jedi. Your heart is in the right place, so you should not have a problem. As we train I wish us to get to know each other better. Many times Master and student have a Parent/Child relationship. I am younger as you can tell. We will try to have a Brother/Sister relationship. Now, first off. I wish to know a few things. Your name in full, Greatest fear, and what you have been taught in the calls thus far."

::Verse smiled at his new padawan. She was much like his last one. His only other padawan before returning to the Order. She was female as well. Acted much like this one. She would be a Knight. That Verse knew.::

"If you wish to know anything about me as well, be sure to ask. I hide nothing."

[Xazor]

This was the moment of truth. She couldn't hide anything from him, for he probably already knew it. She bowed before she began and then spoke.

My full name is Xazor Leo Kama. My greatest fear is..........

She stopped for a moment and was silent. He would find out anyway, so she continued.

My greatest fear is that my previous master is going to find me and kill me........or take me back to the Sith......

She looked down at the ground and sighed. She hated her past, and now she would have to share it with him.

I have been taught many things, Master. To be honest with you, I was raised by the Sith. I never knew my parents and instead was raised by the Highest Lord of the Siths. When I was old enough, I became his apprentice. Once I was a Sith Knight, I trained some more and became a Sith Warrior. I was sworn into allegiance to them and gained the Mark of the Most High...it's on my arm. My heart was not in it though. We learned to hate the peaceful Jedi........and to kill them. I wanted to learn more about the Jedi, so I did some research in some books of mine. During a routine room check, my Sith father found one of my books. He threatened to kill me......anyway.....he cut me with his lightsaber and after he stormed out of my room then I flew out of the planet on his X-Wing. The Force led me here.........and now I have begun training with you, Master.

She looked down at the ground again. She was so ashamed of her past......she wished she could hide it from everybody......but that was not an option.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse put a hand on her shoulder.::

"You are already a hero in my eyes. You have been in total darkness only to rise again in the light. I have a son. He is a Sith. He is much like you. He hates killing. Hates violence, but also hates his enemies. It is that hatred that turned him into the killer he is today. Don't let hatred consume you. The Jedi do not hate each other. The biggest thing you can do is not hate your enemies. Love them as you do the Jedi. Don't let them anger you. When you grow in the Force, you will fear the dark no more. When you cut ona flash ligh in the night, doe sit not cut the darkness? Does not the Darkness retreat when the Sun comes up? Fear not. You will become stronger. Just remeber. The Light can only be used goodness."

[Xazor]

She smiled as she listened to his words of wisdom. He was very easy to talk to and she soon let go her fear of telling him anything. He had gained her trust.

I wish to be a great Jedi someday. I try not to hate my enemies.......but it's hard when you have a past like mine. Master, I wish to know something.......do you have a brother by chance? If you don't, I think I may have met your son in the Bar and Grill. I was angry and, well, there was a confrontation...not a good thing on my end.....well, anyway, someone named Chaos Alexander Dawnstrider was there telling me that I have the heart of a Sith and things like that. I was just wondering if he was of any relation to you, Master.

She asked curiously.

[verse dawnstrider]

"That is my son. He has a....strange past. After the Battle of at the First GJO HQ I went into a coma. I had a 5 year old son at the time. This was only a year ago. His mother died shortly after. He went into the care of my twin. Hy twin was named Pivo. He was a member of TSE for a while. He craves to be immortal. The Dark Side cuts a persons life short. He may die at the age of 50. He is a brillient man. A bioenginer. He would not test his experments on himself. With me gone, he used Chaos. Chaos was aged to the age of 17. Pivo increaed his mind as well. He had found a way to increase age, just not decrease it. Chaos is filled with rage because of it. He lost his childhood. He feels he is nothing but a bioenginered moster. His anger toward Pivo turned him into a Sith. He was once a Jedi. Warren trained him."

::Verse seemed sadden by this. He loved what evere his son did. It was a hard pill to swallow sometimes.::

"To be honest I didn't want to wake up. I knew this was going on. The Force told me. Life is hard sometimes. I still love him. That is all I can do. He wishes to walk the path of a Sith. That is his choice. I would stay away from him. He is not evil, just confused. He doesn't know where he fits in the world. He doesn't liek fighting. He just does because he feels he must. He was best friends witha young boy named Shade Magus. Chaos tried to kill him. he almost did. Shade barely got away with his life. Then Chaos went after Yurza. he beat him as well. It didn't matter they were both TSE. Yurza almost died as well. Enough with sad things though. Let us start! Can you use the Light Side of the Force any? Can you pull it close to you?"

[Xazor]

Xazor nodded. She closed her eyes for a moment and felt the Force all around her. She made her mind draw it together around her. This made her aura very visible and bright. She opened her eyes and smiled.

Is this good, Master?

She asked him, not letting her aura fade.

I can feel the Force so close to me...

She said with a smile again.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse smiled. He would try a different way of training right now.::

"Ok, perfect. Your a natural. Lets see if you can levitate stuff. See how much you have learned in the class."

::Verse placed a small rock on top of a near-by root.::

"Lift it up. With the Force both you and the rock are connected. Do it like this."

::Verse let the Force flow through him. He felt it bring life through him. It caused his body to tingle with joy. Thus was the Light Side. Happiness, love, kindness. The absence of hate. He felt the rock like it was another part of his body. He let the Force cover the rock. He picked it up in the air. It hovered for a second then verse set it down.::

"In order to use the Light Side you must not let anger control you. You must let go and feel peace in your soul. Hatred only leads down the path of Darkness."

[Xazor]

Xazor focused on the rock and closed her eyes. She could picture the rock in her head and feel the Force running through her body. She suddenly felt one with the rock and the Force. I remember this... She thought to herself. Concentrating back on the rock, she thought of how she would lift it. She the pictured the rock rising into the air. She could feel its weight in her mind, as if she was physically lifting it. She opened her eyes and saw the rock a few feet out of the air. She smiled and looked at her master.

Is that alright, Master?

She asked and looked back at the rock. I can't believe I am doing this! She thought to herself. Her excitement got to be too much and she started to loose her concentration. She could see the rock slowly drifting back down. Suddenly it fell and hit the stump that it was originally resting on. I have failed..... She thought as she looked down. She knelt in front of her master and spoke.

I am sorry I have failed you Master......please forgive me of this act.

She said. Her past was not one of forgiveness and if she ever made a mistake, she was always punished. She wanted to do her best for her master, as to not dissapoint him.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse looked at the girl. She expected him to be angry. Instead the man just laughed. He had seen alot in his 25 years of life. He was part of the GJO at the age of 17. What she did was good. Not bad at all.::

"You did good. Gettin' all excited over it is what makes it worth while. Just let it flow. Don't try and dam a river. just flow with it. Practice is what helps. If you could do it the first time, then why would you need a teacher like me? When I first started I had more trouble than this. It just shot in the air. Just up, then fell on my Master's head. Control the Force, but let it control you as well. Channel it, and let it do it's job. Watch again then you try."

::Verse looked at the rock. he let the Force flow through him. It was like pure joy. The happiness a father feels after holding his new-born child. A raging river that can't be stoped. He pictured the rock lifting in the air with his mind. He thought of it lifting in his mind. He channeled the Force to do that action. Once channeled he let it do it's thing. The rock lifted and hovered. Verse moved it down. He let the rock rest on the stump. He then helped his padawan to her feet.::

"Now, you try. Just remeber what I said."

[Xazor]

Xazor looked at the rock again and smiled. I can make mistakes... She thought to herself. She closed her eyes and focused her concentration on the rock again. She envisioned it in her mind. She could feel the Force building up in and around her. She could feel the rock's weight in her mind. She opened her eyes and saw it hovering above the stump. She raised it a little more in the air and held it there. She looked at her master for a moment and saw him smiling. She smiled and then looked back at the rock and gently set it back on the stump. She smiled when it was resting without motion. I did it! She thought to herself again.

There Master....I completed the task with success.

She said to him with a slight bow and a smile.

Using the Force for good is so much easier.....and rewarding than using it for evil.

She smiled again and looked back at the rock with a nod.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse smiled::

"Good. Lets see if size really does matter."

::Verse laughed at his little joke. He picked up a rock with the Force. This time the rock was the size of his head. It droped it at the ground infront of his padawan.::

"Size matters not in the Force. It may seem bigger, but with the Force it is not. Mind over matter. It will seem harder and bigger only because your mind makes you think so. The way to do it is this. You must 1) Trick you mind, or 2) Come to a understanding. It is like taking medicine as a child. The grape kind. At first you think it will be nasty, but after a few times you relize it is ok."

[Xazor]

Xazor studied the large rock in front of her. It is a lot bigger than the other one....... She thought to herself as she glanced from the large one to the small one. She focused on the task before her as to not become discouraged. She centered the Force within her and then saw the rock. She visualized the Force making a blanket around the rock and lifting it with ease. She felt its' heaviness in her mind and tried to forget about it. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the large rock hovering in front of her face. She looked at her master and smiled. She then slowly set the rock back down with the Force and took a deep breath when she finished. She faced her master and smiled again with a slight bow.

That was a good challenge, Master..........I hope that I completed the task with success in your eyes.

She finished with a smile and a sign of joy in her eyes.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse nodded.::

"You have. I know all this may seem stupid at first, but I have a point with all of this. I am getting you prepared to control the Force. Making sure you can control it as you need to, as well as let it help you out. After a few more exercises I will move on to harder things."

::Verse called two larger stones and placed them on the ground with his mind.::

"Notice. Both of these are bigger than the last one. Pick both of them up. At the same time. I want them to be even in the air. Then place them down and let them touch ground at the same time. When you can do this there will be one more exercise like it. Then we will move on."

[Xazor]

Xazor didn't think about the possiblility of not being able to do this. She wanted to be totally positive. She closed her eyes and focused the Force around the two stones. She then took her hands out in front of her and made a raising motion with them toward the sky as if she was physically picking up the stones. They were heavy in her mind, but she proceeded to try to lift them. She focused less on their mass and more on the task of lifting them. She opened her eyes a little bit and saw the two stones levetating in the air in front of her. The left one was slightly lower than the right so she focused a little more on it. Suddenly the right stone fell out of the air and hit the ground while the left one raised up. She sighed and lifted the right one up with her mind so that they were both in the air again. She got them even and held it there for a moment before she began to focus on bringing them down. The right one decended quicker than the left but she regained control of it and brought them down just above the ground. She then let her mind let go of them and they both landed on the ground at the same time. Xazor looked at her Master with a big grin across her face.

I do not wish to appear juvenile to you, Master, but that was really cool!

She said with a light aire in her voice. She bowed to her Master and smiled again.

I did it, Master, is that what you wanted?

She asked him. She couldn't believe that she had done that already. Her training was a challenge, but so much fun also. She wanted to absorb all that he taught her. She took in every little action and word that he spoke.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse smiled at his younge student. She had done well this time. She was a fast learner as well. Verse had one last test to teach her how to use her power.::

"I want you to pick up all the you can with your mind. MAke them all move around in patterns. Make the circle where we are standing. Spin through the near-by trees If you want. I want to see how far you can push yourself. Make rings that flow through each other. Do as much as you can. It is easy to make things do the same thing. Making everything go different directions was a different matter all together. That and being able to control them. Lets go younge one."

[Xazor]

At first Xazor did not know where to start. She looked around and saw several objects which she could lift. There was a stream near by and also a bunch of rocks. She walked a few feet away from her Master and closed her eyes. She outstreched her arms to the sky and centered the Force in her soul. She opened her eyes and picked out ten objects she wished to lift. There were a few heavy rocks, water from the stream, branches from near by trees and some leaves. She then closed her eyes and visualized these objects in her mind. She visualized wrapping them up in the Force and lifting them. This was very hard. She could feel the weight of all the objects in her mind. Now instead of just raising them up, she would also have to make them move in different directions. She imagined the rocks circling around she and her Master, the water circling around her head, the branches diving in and out of those circles, and the leaves circling around her Master. She imagined all of this as if it was happening. She then made herself believe that it could happen and that it was happening. She heard a bunch of rustling noises and felt a cold air blow by her. She opened her senses fully to the Force and harnessed its power. She then opened her eyes and saw that everythng she had just imagined was really happening! She smiled and kept her arms in the air. She changed the rotational pattern of the circles a few times. She couldn't believe that she could do all of this by herself. She looked up at the sky and focused more force. She wanted to really end it with a bang. She focused as much as she could and was straining her energy to do so. Suddenly a bolt of lightning hit the ground just a few feet in front of her and a crack of thunder followed. She had learned this little trick a few years ago. She looked over at her Master and dropped her arms to slowly set everything down. Most all of it landed at the same time..........except for the water..........which "accidentally" flew over to her Master and soaked him. Xazor couldn't help but laugh. She turned away from him to try to cover her laughter. Once she regained her composure, she turned back to him.

Master, I have completed the task.

She said with a smile.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse laughed as he was soaked by the water. He shoke his head to dry his hair some.::

"Good job little one. We will now move on to harder stuff now that you have learned to control the Force. I will teach you as much as I can. First I must ask this. Which branch do you want to master. These are the branchs. Healing. Mentalist. Elementist. Seer. I will teach you all of them. I just need to know what you are best at. I will improve that the most. That will be because that is what you are natural at. I am a mentalist. Then I am a Elementist. I am not good at seeing the future like a seer at all. In fact I can'e do it at all almost. I can heal. Not as good as some, but enough to get by. I couldn't be a field medic. Which one do you want to Master?

[Xazor]

Xazor smiled at her Master. She had already thought of what she wished to master and had an answer ready for him.

I wish to be a mentalist. I have had some experience in this area, and I found that it comes quite natural to me. I also wish to work as an elementist. I am able to control somethings in nature, and found this to be quite interesting. As far as seeing the future, well, I can hardly do that. And healing also comes naturally to me. I can use the Force to heal myself as well as others. But as far as my main thing, I would definatly like to be a mentalist.

She finished with a bright smile.

[verse dawnstrider]

OOC: killing the double post.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse smiled. A student after his own heart. It would be easier this way.::

"Lets begin with the basics then. First off. Healing. This may be one of the most important. You or a friend may be hurt. This is what will save you. These are the basic tricks I will teach you. You will notice I will teach you the basic stuff. the hardest stuff you will learn on your own in time. i may teach you some more of the harder stuff, but most of it will come to you when you are teaching your own Padawan's. I had just got done training my First Padawan when I learned how to do the Dopploganger attack. These are the basic healing abilities I will teach you.

Accelerate Healing
Accelerate Another's Healing
Control Pain
Detoxify Poison
Reduce Injury
Control Another's Pain

Keep in mind that all of these are basic at first. A friend of mine can cure almost any illness with a touch. You will only be able to cure basic stuff till you get stronger. The same is for the others. They will be weaker at first, but will grow in time."

[Xazor]

Xazor smiled, although it sounded complicated.

That sounds good to me, Master.

She replied with genuine interest in everything that she was about to learn.

[verse dawnstrider]

"We will start with healing. You must first understand that the Light Side of the Force is a Force of creation. It heals as a reflex. With the right control you can heal wounds. Watch."

::Verse cuts himself with his knife. It was a small wound, but one that could be seen easily. He touched it with his hand. He let the Light Side flow through him. The Force rush out of his hand to the wound. He focused on the flesh attaching to inself. He thought of the blood no longer pooring out. He held the image in his mind of the wound closing. The feeling of the cut closing and fixing itself was in his mind's eye. He felt the wound close as well. It left no scar. Verse cut himself again.::

"You try. Take your time. I will not bleed to death. It is a very minor wound."

[Xazor]

The sight of her Master cutting himself made her soul hurt. She knew that it would heal, but she had dealt with enough pain in her past. Knowing that it was part of her training, she quickly got over it and proceeded. She walked over to her Master and placed her hands on his wound. She felt the light flowing through her. The pain she felt for him combined with the light released the power she needed to heal him. She envisioned the blood stopping its flow and the flesh binding together. She closed her eyes and released more power into his body. She then opened her eyes and took her hands away. There was no scar...or even a trace that a wound had been there. Xazor looked up at her Master in surprise and smiled.

It worked! It really worked, Master!

She said with excitement.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse nodded.::

"The rest is up to you to learn. It is stuff that is hard to teach. I do not plan on teaching you how to do the rest. It will come natural as you learn the Force. I don't want to punch you so you can pratice Reduce Injury. Or poison us to pratice the other. The Force will guide you. Let us move on to...harder stuff."

::Verse held up his hand. He felt the wind through the Force. He made the wind to flow like his soul and happiness did. The wind picked up and his hair was caught in it.::

"The Wind. The First Element I will teach you to call on. Try and speak to it."

[Xazor]

The wind? Speak to the wind? Alright, I hope this works.....

She thought to herself. She looked all around her for a moment and took in everything she saw....tress, grass, leaves, and everything else she could see. She then closed her eyes and thought of everything happy that she could think of. She thought of being free, of falling in love, of doing things that she never saw herself being able to, and.......flying. She pictured all of the things she had seen with her eyes flying with her and her happiness in the wind. She thought of it blowing through her long hair and refreshing her on a hot day. She then stretched out her hands and imagined all of these things. She could then hear a light rustling of leaves nearby.....she peaked over to her right for a moment to see that a slight breeze had picked up. She would have to use more of the Force if she wanted real wind. She closed her eyes once more and centered the Force in her mind around all of the things of which she saw and hoped to see. She once again outstretched her hands and somehow........she moved the air. She opened her eyes and suddenly a gust of wind whipped around she and her Master. It blew back her hair and tossed the leaves around them. It rushed through the grasses and the limbs of the steady jungle trees.......and then came right back to her and stopped. She held her breath for a moment, unable to speak of the joy she felt for having completed such a task. Her whole body tingled with excitement. She slowly turned to face her Master. A bright smile crept across her face and her eyes shone with amazement.

I never knew that I could do something like that......

She quietly said. She looked around at everything in the jungle. She had just controlled something that was in nature. Sure, she had controlled small things such as rain and thunder and lightning for short periods of time........but the wind was a whole different element. Something so powerful. She just stood there in a sort of awe for a moment.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse let the wind cool him down. His padawan was good. It felt good to let the cool breeze cool him down. The jungle was hot, and this helped. It was a joy to see a student so happy. He remebered his master. He was verse's best friend. How he missed him. Moments like this made life worth living. The wind was a strong Force. One of great friensship as well. He sat down on a near-by rock. Sometimes the best lessions were not training. It was time for a talk. It helped to clear the sould from time to time. It would give the student time to rest as well. After the talk he would teach her basic Illusions and then time to travel the stars to see the plant life.::

"Tell me young one. What are your dreams in life?"

[Xazor]

Xazor sat down on the ground in front of her Master. At his question, she looked up at him with a bright smile.

My dreams........oh, I have so many!

She beamed.

I dream of becomming a great Jedi Master, and training my own students. I want to be a warrior who is as strong and powerful as the wind......and as gentle as a bird. I wish to make the Force the center of my life, and make it the core of my inner strength. I want to see everything on this planet and elsewhere that I can go. Someday I hope to realize that I've found everything that I've been searching for......I dream to be everything that I can, and give my life to the control of the Force all the way. I dream of someday training students side by side with my Master.....

She looked at him with a bright smile as she said the last few words.

I have more, somewhere.......maybe they are not dreams yet.......or maybe they are hidden in the ones I already have......what are your dreams, Master?

She questioned him with curiosity.

[verse dawnstrider]

"Right now for more Ale. I just can't get enough of it. Other than that, I wish to become a Jedi Master. I have seen and done many things in my life. I was in the battle over the first GJO base. I have trained a fine student, and am traing a couple great ones now. I have been married, in a way. We were mates more than anything. We didn't want a cerimony. She was Sith though. I wish I could met her once more, but....she died a few months after Chaos was born. I will never hear her voice anymore. I have been to many places. I guess I want to be a Master. It would be my greatest victory. That, and dance at my grandchildren's wedding. That would be great. I also want to hold my son as a Jedi. I understand he wants to be Sith, but one can dream."

::A tear rolled down the man's eye. He brushed it away at once. He had seen a lot, and done many things. Time to move on though. Much to do, and little time. He wanted the girl ready for field training.::

"Can you do Illusions younge one?"

[Xazor]

Xazor smiled brightly.

I can do a few.........and I have been working on others, but they are quite difficult.

She replied with brightness.

[verse dawnstrider]

"Lets start with the basics. First you must see the image in your mind. Let the Force flow through you, than see the image as a real physical picture. Sence it comes from your mind, it will only seem real."

::Verse grabed some sand. He blew the sand into the air. Instead of sand, hundreds of butterflies flew intot he air.::

"You try."

[Xazor]

Xazor knelt down and ran her fingers through the sand. She took some in the palm of her hand and stood up. She examined it for a moment......capturing its image in her mind. Butterflies.... She thought for a moment. She closed her eyes and envisoned hundreds of butterflies circling around her. She opened her eyes and blew the sand out of her hand. It hit the ground. She was disappointed for a moment, but then tried to think of another strategy. She knelt down again and took some sand in her hand. She stood up and looked at it closer. These are hundreds of beautiful butterflies... She thought to herself. She smiled and closed her eyes once more. She thought about the butterflies and how graceful they were. She saw them floating on the breeze around her. She then opened her eyes and quickly blew the grains out of her hand. She watched them and as they touched the air, they transformed before her eyes. Suddenly there were hundreds of beautiful butterflies floating around she and her Master. She held out her hand and one landed on her and then flew off with the others. Her heart swelled with joy at the wonderful sight. She looked at her Master and smiled with joy.

That is incredible, Master. I did it!

She said, letting her excitement show fully this time.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse inhaled the air as he watche dthe butterflies swarm around him. It was great. Such grace. It was what made life would living. He believed she was ready for some field training.::

"You have made great progress my child. I have a quest for us if you will. I plan to take us to many planets now. We will gather items. This will begin after you have built and named a Light Saber. Also after I train you to use my one handed combat style. I didn't even teach that to my old Padawans...."


::Verse went to his bag and pulled out of bag with all the things to make the LS. He handed it to Xazor.::

"Just let the Force guide your hands."

[Xazor]

Xazor excitedly took the bag from his hands. She peered inside and saw many random parts.

I will do my best in this great task, Master. The Force will guide me....

She said with a smile.

I am looking forward with great anticipation to the journey you have set before me, Master.

She added with joy.

[verse dawnstrider]

::verse motioned for his student to start.::

"Get started younge one. We have a long way to go."

[Xazor]

Alright Master, I shall begin.....

She said as she opened the bag. She took the pieces out and laid them before her. She looked at them for a moment in shock. This looked so confusing...but she decided that if she was to get anywhere, she would have to let the Force take over. She closed her eyes and focused her full attention on the Force. She felt it surge through her and lead to her hands. She then opened her eyes and reached for two pieces. She connected them and looked at it. They went together perfectly. She then reached for a third and then a fourth piece. She put them together also. There were now several small pieces left. Where do all these go? She asked herself. She then noticed that she had only put the shell of it together. They must go on the inside....... She thought again. This was going to be more of a challenge than she thought. She sat there and pondered it for a while as she took each piece in her hand. She carefully picked out one and attached it to the inside. She then chose another and connetced its wires to the first piece and so on. This went on for about an hour. She didn't want to rush, but she didn't want to waste her Master's time either. She knew that they had a long journey ahead of them. She saw that there were three pieces left. There were some funny looking crystals and some kind of cap. What am I supposed to do with these? She asked herself. After looking at them and examining them for a while, she finally decided that she didn't know. She looked all over the piece which looked like the handle of a lightsaber. She then noticed the bottom was open. She took the cap piece and connected it to the bottom. She looked at the crystals again. She examined the inside of the lightsaber. She saw that there was a perfect place for them. She put them in the small openings between the wires and things. The whole construction had taken about two hours. She had looked at her Master several times as she sat there putting the pieces together. He never appeared impatient at all......he just sat there and occassionally smiled at her. Once she was finished, she looked at it and smiled brightly. She then looked at her Master for his approval.

It's name shall be "Greater Fear"!

She exclaimed with excitement.

What if it doesn't work....?

She suddenly asked him.

[verse dawnstrider]

"Then you shall try again. There is nothing wrong with having to do something a second time. It took a while to make both of mine. Plus I made them dual-phased. The can extend the lenght 4 times as long. Hard to fight with though. There is only one way to find out. Cut it on."

[Xazor]

Xazor looked at the weapon for a moment. She saw the switch to turn it on and gently moved her finger to it. She was almost shaking with excitement and fear at the same time. She looked up at her Master, who gave her a smile that almost seemed to speak reassurance. She then looked back the the switch and, without any other hesitation, she flipped it. There was a snap and then a hiss.................and then a beautiful blue blade shot out of the end. Xazor gasped when this happened. She couldn't believe that she had just created this weapon.........and it worked! It brought a tear of joy to her eye, which she quickly wiped away.

It.........it really works!

She exclaimed to her Master. She was overcome with joy. She waved it around a little, and with each pass it made a hissing noise. She reached her finger to the button and shut it off. To make sure that it really worked she turned it back on and the blue blade came forth again. She shut it off and held it in her hands, marvelling at its structure.

::Verse smiled.::

"Good. Lets start with the basics."

::Verse pulled out a small robotic orb. It cut it on and it started floating.::

"This will help you to block. It shoots small beams at you. You can't fell the beams in the Force, they are not organic. You can feel them move through the Force though. If the shot hits you, it will sting. Lets begin."

::The machine started to fir stots at Xazor.::

[Xazor]

Xazor activated her lightsaber and held it in a defensive position. The orb started to rapidly fire beams of energy at her. When the first few came a few feet from her, she moved her lightsaber to meet with them and deflect them away from her. She hit three out of the four that came at her, but the other one sailed into her arm. She growled in pain but then quickly shook it out of her mind. The orb shot more beams at her, this time there were about six. She blocked four of them, and the other two came flying at her. She quickly ducked under them and they missed her by only inches. I will get all of them now..... She said to herself with ambition. The orb shot about seven beams her way and she quickly and gracefully blocked all of them. She smiled and looked at her Master for a moment as she waited for another round to be deployed.
This time, she would try harder to use the Force to feel them. She focused all of her energy on the Force. Five shots were sent out of the orb. She could feel them cutting through the Force. Somehow she knew exactly where each one was going. It was almost as if she didn't have to try to block them, it just......happened. After several rounds, she thought she could do it with her eyes closed. She shut her eyes and waited. It made her a little nervous, but she wanted to be stretched to her limits. She could feel the beams coming toward her. Her senses were open to the Force, and again, she somehow knew where they were. She blocked all of them, except for one, which she overcalculated. It went sailing into her shoulder. It stung for a moment, but she paid no mind to it. She reopened her eyes and looked at her Master who was smiling at her. She smiled back and waited to see what would happen now.

[verse dawnstrider]

::Verse smiled.::

"Good. Now for my one handed style. Watch with me and the fighting droid I have brought."

::Verse ignited one saber. He held it inhis right hand. The blade jetting backwards. When he held his fist up the blade pointed to the ground.::

"See how I hold it? It allows for spin attacks and twirling the blade better."

::The droid attacked Verse. Verse grabed the bottom of the hilt with his free left hand.::

"This blocking like this allows you to switch to the two handed style if need be."

::Verse pushed his blade in a circle flipping the droids saber in the air. Verse spun on his heel letting the hilt go with his left hand. His right hand spun the blade in a figure 8. His hand and wrist turned with it so that it was a fliud motion and not jerky. The droid droped.::

"The main thing about this style is the easy fluid motions. It is not as strong on the defence area. That is why you must switch back to the two handed style to block. Watch again. This tiem I will show you how to switch hands."

::Verse activated another droid. He swung the blade in a downward arch with his right hand. The droid blocked it. Verse let go of the blade a quickly grabed it with his left hand. Using the momentuim of his left hand he pushed the blade up-ward in a arch at the droids head. The droid jumped back. Verse let go of the blade and grabbed in with his right in one fluid motion before Xazor could blink. He slamed the blade straight down into the droids chest. He pulled the blade down and spun aroud cuting the droids should off. he held the blade in his right hand still and kept spinning. He spun back around to face the droid. The blade kept going cut the droid in half. Verse let go of the blade and it flew to his left hand where he did one last upward slice cutting the droid from his right hip area up to his left shoulder. Verse stood up and the droid fell apart.::

"You must master switching hands. The two-handed style has stronger attacks and defence, but the one handed style is much faster, and fluid. Both are deadly. I use both. It depends on the situation."

[Xazor]

Xazor stood and watched in amazement as her Master fought. It looked effortless when he moved about and switched from one hand to another. She listened carefully to everything that he said. When he was finished she smiled and replied.

It looks difficult, Master.....but the Force shall guide me and give me the ability to learn these things.

She said with confidence.

[verse dawnstrider]

"It was difficult to master, but pratice will change that. Now that you can do the basics I wish for us to get some feild training. Pack you bags. I will see if your boyfriend wishs to come along as well. This will help you increase your skills faster and stronger."

OOC: Make sure you have an account at SWFans.net.

[Xazor]

Xazor smiled at the thought of field training.

Yes, Master. I shall pack my things right away. Where shall I go from there?

She asked him with curiosity.

OOC: I will, thanks! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

[verse dawnstrider]

"I will call for you. It may be a little while for me to get all the things ready. We may have company. I will call you when I am fully ready and have everything ready to go. Till then you are dissmissed."

[Xazor]

I will patiently await your calling, Master.

Xazor said with a smile. She bowed in respect to her Master and then left the Jungle, bound for the living quarters. She would need to start packing tonight.
