Private Battles

[Jairdain Ismet-Thio]

After Kas had left for the day, Jairdain had made a trip down to the gardens of the embassy. Searching for the head gardener, she couldn't help but have a small smile. It had been several years and more than a lifetime ago since she had this. Asking for a few colonies of ants to get rounded up for her, she would return in the morning to collect them. Once she conveyed what she needed, she also picked up a couple of shallow but broad containers to put them in when the lesson began.

When morning came, she returned to the garden, picked up her crates of ants, and brought them into her office. Deciding they would need a larger room to train in, this was the only location Kas knew, and she would wait for him and his siblings here. Once they arrived, she would take them into another room.

Objective: Attend the Training

After having a night's rest and sleep, Kas alongside his siblings Caden, his younger brother and Kharis, his twin sister were getting ready to travel off for Jairdain's office. Gathered their equipment deemed suitable for the training and the trio headed out from their J-1 Shuttle off toward the Embassy Building. The three were in Jedi jumpsuits; Kharis wearing her dark grey jumpsuit, Kas dawning his green jumpsuit and Caden wore his brown flight jacket over his brown jumpsuit. They walked down the ship ramp and off to the Embassy buiding.

"Wonder what we're going to learn and practice, Kas." Caden said to his older brother as they walked together through the Hangar Bay to then go down a corridor leading to the Embassy.

"I dunno Cade. Could be various abilities so sure we'll find a few that we can practice and use on the field. You might be better in a few than Kharis and I, vice versa." Kas said to Caden as they continued in their trip.

"Just remember to keep practicing all other abilities and skills we've studied since coming to the Jedi you two. Don't fall behind me in Dogfighting and Piloting ahaha." Kharis nudged her brothers with a smile.

Caden and Kas laughed with Kharis as the three always loved flying and piloting various types of vehicles. The brothers lightly shoved their sister ahead, shook their heads while continuing on to Jairdain's office. The sibling bond between them always present and strong when they travelled together. They calmed down when coming to the entrance of Jairdain's office. The trio had changed from slight bantering among themselves to serious outlooks as Kas knocked on the door. Letting the Jedi Master know the students were here and ready.

Their energy and presence through the Force can be detected, felt stronger, a lot more than Kas on his own. It may be due to the sibling bonds between the trio and the fact they sometimes use the ability Force-meld. Kharis, Kas and Caden waited by the door for Jairdain to acknowledge their arrival...

When she heard the footsteps of the family, she waited until they stopped outside her office. Listening to the conversation, she wondered what it would have been like to have siblings growing up. Probably similar to the chaos she'd had in her own house. Three youngsters running around, making messes, and fighting. In the end, they had all grown up into adults and lived their own lives away from Jairdain. She would have to try to reach out to them and have dinner or something.

Opening the door when Kas knocked, she focused on his brother and sister for a moment.

"Come on in. I'm Jairdain Ismet. If you're willing to help me carry some of these things, I'll move us to a larger room."

She figured she and Kas could carry the ants while the others could have the flatter boards.

"The starting lesson is going to be one of the strongest around. It's called Battle Meditation. When I was about your age, I was already almost a master of it. Just be careful not to draw any attention from the Sith, and you'll be fine.

"Can any of you tell me what the purpose of Battle Meditation is?"

Gathering up two containers of ants, she would motion for Kas to get the other two, and his siblings could carry the last two items.

  Kas stepped back from the office door that Jairdain had opened and invited him, his twin sister and younger brother to come inside her office. Once it was clear to enter the office, Kas was last to enter letting Caden and Jairdain go inside to help with some items for the training that the Jedi Master had planned for them all to participate in.
  
  "Nice to see you again, master." Kas said to Jairdain after getting inside her office.
  
  He listened to what the Jedi Master had asked and stated about an ability that was considered really strong when used on the field. Although he did take note that this wouldn't be ideal in the direct attention or sight within any Sith. Battle Meditation he hadn't heard or came across it before through his classes or studies in the Jedi Enclaves or Temples he visited in his journeying.
  
  "Can't say that I have master. I mean we have a similar ability we, the three of us do use, Force-meld it's called." Kas answered Jairdain.
  
  The young Jedi went over to grab one of the crates containing ants inside of it. All while Caden and Kharis would retrieve the boards.

  Kharis gave a nod over to Jairdain this being her first time to encounter a Jedi Master away from any known Jedi Academies, Enclaves and Temples she had been to in her time. When asked about if she had heard of Battle Meditation, a force ability only having known, learned, practiced and used Force-meld with her brothers.
  
  "Hmm I'm unsure about that technique master. I'm going to presume it is a form of meditation just by hearing its title?" She put across her guess to the Jedi Master.
  
  She was gathering the remaining items with her younger brother, Caden, to help Kas and Jairdain move off into the large room facility inside of Jairdain's office to begin the training with the Jedi Master. It left her curious in how this training session will unfold while she, Kas and Caden would participate in.
  
  "I'm looking forward in learning the ability though! Never know when we could use out in the Galaxy master." Kharis said to Jairdain while displaying her interest in learning and training.

  Caden bowed his upper body over towards Jairdain as he, Kas and Kharis were greeted then invited into the office by Jairdain. His senses through the Force detected that the Jedi Master certainly was strong in the Force. This got Caden really interested in learning more in the Force and of course, he was seeking to become a Jedi Consular, a Jedi Sage and Healer.
  
  "I've heard of Battle Meditation master. Isn't it where allies, both Force Sensitives and Non Force Sensitives morale, stamina and other assets are amplified, boosted when the practitioners initiate it?" Caden said to Jairdain as he explained what he studied.
  
  The youngest out of the trio went off to collect the last and remaining items to prepare for the training session he'd undergo with Kas and Kharis under the tutelage of Jairdain's. Now because he knew of the theory in Battle Meditation Caden was really interested to be capable of practicing and using the ability out, on the field in his ventures.
  
  "This will be a great to learn and be capable to use it master. I'm up for this." Caden said to Jairdain with a smile on his face.

The blind woman turned her attention to each of the children as they spoke. Deciding to address the youngest first, she nodded at his answer.

"You are correct, Caden. It's similar to what the three of you use, but meant for a much larger scale. It's for battles. Your allies will perform better, be stronger, and move faster. Your enemies will feel down, move more slowly, and be at a disadvantage.

"When you're first learning this, it will be in a safe environment. Here."

Turning her focus to Kharis as she answered, she didn't quite nod but did not entirely disagree.

"It is, but it's not like a meditation you do to relax or find peace. Battle Meditation is just that. Your mind watches over the battle and influences the minds of your enemies."

Taking them into a larger room, there were two mats on the floor, and she walked over to one of them. Setting one of the cases of ants down, she put the other on the other mat.

"Please lay the trays on the floor. Kas, set your boxes on the mats as well. Each of you needs to pick your box and connect with the minds of the ants inside. They are your troops for today."

Not letting the ants out of her box, she opened the lid, sat down on the floor, and started to meditate and feel the lives and minds of her ants.

"Once you feel you have reached the minds of the ants, let me know, and we will continue the lesson."

  Kas was placing the boxes down onto each mat that Jairdain had asked him to do while the Jedi Master was acknowledging and interacting with Caden and Kharis. Sharing their knowledge of what Force abilities the pair of them knew so far. This was going to be a unique way of learning the technique that Jairdain was experienced in. Kas opened the lid of his box that he picked out of the those available from what the Padawan Learners can select from. Now the next part was to open his mind up and connect with the ants through the Force. Gradually he began zoning out briefly to focus on the Force energy and link up with the ants.
  
  "Yes master, I'm getting there with connecting to the ants' minds."

  Kharis had her sights set on Jairdain as she listened to the Jedi Master give an explanation of Battle Meditation as compared to the likes of being familiar with Force Meld. She followed the blind woman along inside of the larger room where their training would commence among the group. A little excited on the inside as Kharis was going to expand her knowledge and skill in the Force alongside her two brothers with a Jedi Master in Jairdain. When Kas had organised the boxes containing the ants she went to pick one box for herself and reached out through the Force to sync with their minds as instructed by Jairdain.
  
  "Understood master, working on it."

  Caden being the youngest out of the Larsen trio that paid Jairdain a visit on the world of Commenor he was going down the path of a Jedi Consular. It was no surprise that he'd be learning many aspects surrounding the Force itself as a Jedi. In his research and studies Battle Meditation was a subject he managed to come across in his times within the Jedi Archives and learning the theory behind the ability from other Jedi Consulars. It gave him the impression that this would be ideal to learn, practice and train in this art that will help all of his allies whenever in the Battlefield. Caden gave Jairdain a confident smile and focused on the Force energy.
  
  "I'm glad to be learning this ability from you, Master Jairdain. Hope we can do well."
