It'd been awhile since I'd been back to Eshan, shrieking through the atmo into view of my hometown. I activated the stealth systems and rather than docking in the city I chose the outlying lands. Closer to where my heart lies I guess. Transmitting to Akira's dojo I said "May the stars watch over you teacher of my blade and honored firedancer. Requesting permission to land on the pad by the dojo." Waiting several seconds as I hovered over the lake I'd visited last time I wondered if Akira still lived here. Hopefully I hadn't come all this way for no reason. Even though Akira had been my exact age when she'd been training me I still bent my knee in respect to to her skill with blades and unarmed combat. "Kad'ika it's been too long you know as well as I that you needn't have asked permission to land."
Smiling a tear of joy leeked from my eyes as I responded "You taught me honor in all ways of life Master, respect is due to you for being my teacher. Landing shortly Akira, I've missed home." With pleasantries and etiquette out of the way I began the landing cycle and within minutes had touched down. Breathing in then out I tied Tamerlein to my belt and slid my two new sabers into my belt. Looking at my reflection I wondered what Akira would think...
Dropping the ramp I exited The Morrigan and walked towards the dojo clad in a simple leather wrapped top tied along my ribs. Loose maroon and black Echani sparring pants and a nose ring of Echani Fire Opal in my nose. Walking to the entance of the Dojo I slipped out of my boots and brought my right fist horizontally and my vertical facing left open palm. Then I bowed before stepping onto the Cherry wood floorboards. As soon as I had I smelled Echani Cherry Blossom lotion and couldn't help but smile.
"Akira it's been too long, I wonder.... would you honor a former student by means of a traditional Echani duel? I wish to know how far I've come in my studies of the blade and body." Turning I saw her stop sharply as she "saw" the blade I'd acquired recently. Akira's voice took on a harsh, sharp edge. "Celiana, where did you find that blade? That blade was rumored destroyed since before I came to live on Eshan. It was rumored that it was used to murder a master of blades by their own student."
Blinking in recognition of what she'd said I looked at her and then to the blade "Master I was given this blade as part of a set on a Silver Jedi Archive ship. The archivist had told me there was a dark history to it but that it'd been purged from the blade and its twin. Forgive me Master, I didn't know. If it dishonors the Dojo I'll remove it immediately."
