Kellan Dashiell
(Balun's Standard Lightsaber)
Balun Dashiell stood right-side facing his son, his right hand holding the hilt of his Crossguard Lightsaber, aiming the Sunfire Blade low toward the sparring mattress, pointed between them. The consistent thrum of energy vibrated loudly, though the emitter matrix had been altered to channel the blades' energy levels to training settings, a necessary precaution for the sake of the shared sparring session with the very young
Kellan Dashiell
, still a youngling yet old enough to begin learning how to handle the symbol of the Jedi Order.Given that Kellan was so unfamiliar with the handling and practice of the Lightsaber, Balun had also modified his own Crossguard prior to the session, ensuring that the lateral blades would not fire when activated, freeing them both to train with a single blade in each of their hands. The only threat of damage is the flare of heat upon contact with the skin and a lasting bruise as evidence of contact.
Still, there was a process to be played out before Kellan would even be allowed to activate his weapon. Balun stood, showing his son a mere example of what it looked like to ignite the Lightsaber. The snap-hiss caused Kellan's eyes to widen in alarm, a response reminiscent of one who had not witnessed it before.
"Most everyone in the Galaxy has heard of a Lightsaber, what some might call weapons" Balun studied his Son as he spoke, paying acute interest to the boys reaction, both to the movement of the blade as Balun waved the weapon back and forth, giving off an audible whiiirrr as it moved through the air, power churning yet controlled by the hilts inner mechanics; "But it is more than a weapon to the Jedi. It is a symbol of our service to the Galaxy, our willingness to help others and our dedication to serve the will of the Force".
For a moment, Balun gave pause. His silence was replaced only by the slow, controlled movement of the lightsaber. His Son's eyes seemed fixated upon the light of the blade, common as so many young students found such excitement at the prospect of learning the sabre arts, but for Balun, watching his Son in this moment, he was acting as both the Master and the Father. A moment in which, in his voluntary silence, he reminded himself of the possibility of his personal feelings influencing the lesson.
It was a delicate line to walk. One he had just started to formally tend.
"Like all aspects of the Jedi Lifestyle, the Lightsaber requires the utmost respect and discipline, Kellan. Do you understand why this is?".
