Private Bedrock of Brendock

[Mara Palpatine]

TAG: Matsu Ike

The Padawan Learner had charted the ship for another planet she had never heard of. Having been to Naboo, anything would pale in compareion to its lush greenery, domed city, and Lake Country. Alas this is where Master Ike had said to set a course for and so Mara did as she was told.

The Palpatine sat in the jump seat as the stairs flew across in white steaks of the hyperspace lane. Each was surrounded by worlds, one of which was thus Bendrock. She pictured a world of boulders where she would be taught the age old tradition of Jedi.. floating rocks. It was hard to get the excitement of Theed out of her head, that and the Gungan dancing.

The ship came out of hyperspace over a world that had not special look, not the vermillion of Dathomir, nor the white of Hoth, nor the deep blue of Corellia. She sat in the cockpit waiting for her Master, who would emerge. She felt bad that she had failed her on Perdeia and got caught up in this galaxy…

The ship was quite different then the ones that she had. THe Magda might have been better as the jedi master sat crossed legged and almost in a meditative state. Her interest though was there and with Mara as her padawan they would be able to go out and explore some of the other places in the outer rim. The older records not really giving much information as the world never officiailly joined but they would be able to test and see how skilled Mara was in the field. Matsu attention going up as she sat in the silvery robes letting them billow around her and obscure her lightsabers in the sleeves. Hair adorned with kyber bells and she listened to the force before she was rising up and walking. The planet coming into view in her mind. "Ease us down there shouldn't be much there so look for the forest to conceal the ship."

Mare responded to her Master’s instruction,

“Yes Master.”

The Ship swooped over great trees of all kinds, till she spotted a clearing where she could out the vessel down. There was some strange circles of grass and flowers that made it appear as she had landed on a bullseye. The ramp extended and Mara stepped out in her silver Padawan robes, a slightly darker shade than her Master’s to denote hee station. As she listened, there was no sound, no birds or wildlife.

“Do you hear that Master? Nothing.. I have a bad feeling about this.”

The absence of animald made her nervious, she had just been on Naboo which was teeming with life. Even Tatooine, which was a dust bowl had the sounds of Banthas groaning in the air. Here there was quiet, and for some reason the Paddie felt it was malvolent. She could be wrong, and she tried to quiet her fear, for that was the path to the dark side, and with her bloodline she had to be extra caution to even give an incg to such feelings.

“Forgive me Master, I feel uneasy.. I know I shouldn’t..”

She decided to put aside thus alsrm abd she stooped down to examine the circles of grass and flowers.

“This pattern was created or grown into this shape.. which means someone was here.”

She felt a chill rub through her body, it was involuntary. She tried to remember her training, how to master these feelings and decided that she best confess to Master Ike,

“Master.. I feel something foreboding.. It could be just me.. how do I search The Force to discern if its telling me something or I am being a worry wampa?”

"Unease and danger sense can be signs of many things." SHe said it while walking off of the ship and clasping hands behind her back. She moved down and was listening as the padawan followed while she was sensing. "Quiet can mean a lot, don't jump to the worse conclusion." She said it but walked and listened... there was nothing wrong with being on guard and prepared.... it was just an expectations thing... one shouldn't expect everything to be bad. As she was walking the sigil Mara pointed out came into view and she was able to see it... "Interesting." She said it while observing the woods around them and the trees were spaced out but overgrown. Underbrush there as the jedi master walked among them, she could see other trees and flying creatures that looked like they glowed almost.

As her Master urged her to not jump to the worst conclusuon, Mata nodded, “Yes, Master.” Then the quiet was disturbed by luminous birds. She watched them as she followed Matsu Ike . While she was normally carefree and keen to have a good time, in the presence of her Master she wanted to exemplify a seriousness of purpose. She did not want to disappoint Master Ike after Perideia. This was a chance ro show her she was seriously committed to her training as a Padawan Learner.

As they walked among the trees, she heard them creak and wondered what other wild life this planet contained. She also was curious about why Her Master had chosen this planet. It was not anywhere she had heard of, and its lack of data in the Silver Jesi Archives made her inclined to think it either held secrets or was nothing, nowhere like Jakku.

THe jedi master bowed her head while she walked among the trees and was taking it all in. There was quite a lot of things here and dangerous potential. Her hand coming out while she let one of the bird like things land on her finger. SHe was looking at it and tilted her head for a moment. Allowing the force to resonate between the pair of them as it fluttered off and moved... leading the pathway through the woods and the jedi master followed. The trees giving way to mountains and pathways... the gleaming of snow and cloud capped... she was looking at it all and the thing moved more. "It isn't always a big thing... sometimes you need to look towards the smaller things." She said it as the mountains themselves towered overhead, the trails leading into canyons and the jedi master followed them.
