Bats in the Knight

[Coci Heavenshield]

Location: Tython​

​

​

This time Iella had come prepared. In a small ground speeder she had packed supplies for a month, except for water. Where she is now has plenty of it and good quality too. She had also packed some bedding, clothing, items needed to make the stay more comfortable and items needed to prepare meals. Well, hopefully. She is taking some time off to do self-training, but not alone this time. This time she had with her a Jedi Saber Droid, with the ability of engage in lightsaber combat for training, blasters and electrical pulses. And, if she was lucky and could persuade him from his slumber, Arrol the Ghost Jedi Master.

However, she did not go directly to the location of the cavern, but rather about a mile way and left the ground speeder there. She gave the droid some things to carry as they made their way across the Silent Desert on Tython. Once they reached the Temple and she located the concealed way into the cavern, she soon found the hidden passage to the stairs.

Knowledge is everything, and she used it to get across the waters to the other side, the same position on that day of discovery of the place. Once there the droid and her walked back to the cavern of tranquillity, or at least that is what she called it. Once there, she prepared an area for sleep and set up camp. Iella had her lightsaber ignited as she arranged the artificial lighting for the place and once that was arranged she is able to extinguish her blade. She turned and took a moment to view her work, satisfied with it, she could now take some time to rest and take in this beautiful place, before she commenced training.

The cave is beautiful there is no doubt, but she is not here to take in more of the sights or explore them, no that would have to be another day, and one she would love to do with Syn. There is so much to see and do here, and they could set up their treat. Only they will know if it, this will be their safe haven for their children, and as far as Iella is concern only she and Syn will be trusted with their locations until such time as the bounty is removed from Syn. This place should be their secret.

She looked over at the droid now, but she did not wish to start with the form, no she will continue her attempts with Electric Judgement first. Master Balloch had provided her with a hint, and now she will put it to that purpose. In a moment of self amusement she looked over to the medical bag, it had plenty of supplies should an injury occur.

She found a nice spot to commence, and a target, a poor unsuspecting rock on the ground in the cave. She took in a deep breath and raised her arm and hand. Her fingers aimed toward the rock, she summon the Force within her centre, she could that knot building, this part of her skills now almost with innate, she has created this twisted knotted many times now and it comes on her command. She pushed the energy through her body, the Force pulsing within her arm and filling her blood. The living Force now in her, as she is part of it now, and the pull of the planet and it’s moons, becoming an aid for her, like it has for those that had come to study here, over the time the Force and Jedi have been in existence. Now she is here doing what so many before had done, put herself in isolation to seek more knowledge and acquire stronger skills.

Iella can now feel the tingling of the energy on the tips of her fingers, she manipulated the force to form the electric pulse, her mind focused on this completely and now as she is satisfied, she engaged the Judgement. Firstly, the sparks appeared, dancing on her skin and spiting white fleck of current. The blue chain forming more and more until it is about an inch long. She lead firm to her focus which now seemed to form a link to the electric current. She started to see it, almost like a moment of time that showed her what was to come. This feeling not strange to her, she had force sight to a point, and yet another thing to one day explore, but she could see it extending forward and she pushed the electric current, outward.

However, she is not practicing the length of it for the moment, she wants to find the solution to the current rebounding back to her and causing injury. Ok Arrol lets see if you are right.

She held the current for a moment longer and then with her skill of force push she severed the connection. The current chain, although small hit the rock. Iella smiled wide. Yes! This may not be the normal way, but this way worked for her. She will try again and then onto extending the chain.

Iella took several steps back and thought for a moment, she was remembering the words of her Master. The push worked but there was more to it then that she had to let the Electric Judgement absorb back into her, this was the part that was missing. He had explained it to her and she had done it and it reduced the pain and injury when applied. But Iella lack direction with any accuracy and length. This is what she will train with. She had the time now to take and concentrate more on progressing her abilities. This stay in Tython will be a long one and much is to be done.

She stood still and summon the force again, the Judgement coming a little more quicker to her fingers. She watched as the blue light danced on her finger tips fleck with white, it is something quite compelling to watch, like one staring into a flame. She pushed it more and the arc grew only a few inches ... which is what she wanted. She allowed the Judgement to do this, feeling the force within it and begin to build the power and strength of it. Her focus centered on this one ability, and she let the electricity loop back into her hands. The heat of it filling her hand and arm, washing through her body in a wave of heat. She still could feel the bite of it, but it was tolerable and with time would be completely removed.

Iella kept the loop active and turned her hand toward a target, she pushed the Judgement into her hand and let it build there .. again the heat coming. Her eyes found the rock again, her mind single focused on it and she pushed the current forward to it. The blue arc fizzed through the air on a slight curve still about four meters in length and hit the ground, the sand sizzling with the heat and burning as black smoke trails began to form. However this time, she had hit closer to the rock, only a few inches to the right of it. She smiled, she would try again until she was successful.
