Nico had come with the rest of the class to Ilum but it had been interesting. More so because they had gotten her so lost in moving about she hadn't been able to keep up. Noriko had been out of the loop as well and the large sister went back to the ship. The padawan and that was something she had never thought she would call herself. The padawan checked her equipment and had her lightsaber materials. From Matsu so she could rebuild the sabers she had designed before disappearing awhile ago. All for a better life well no not really doing evil things does not make for a better life. It makes for a short one which she would have had if not saved. Now she walked through the caves and reachewd out with her senses for her master while she listened to the sounds around herself.

Iella felt the touch of the force on her aura from a familiar presence. Nico! She turned to walk to find her now, and soon did, Nico was toward the entrance of the cave and moving to her. The other Padawans are well on their way and need not be disturbed. She greeted her with a smile as she approached. Iella wound not asked her why she took her time, this mission is a personal one and the Padawans must do what is best for their preparation.

"Are you ready?", she asked Nico softly so her voice would not echo through the cave. "If you are .. then open your mind and focus on the force, reach out to the cave .. through all it's twists and turns .. it's hidden places, let it wash over you, there is a strong presence of the force here, you might sense the lingering auras of others that have come and gone, including darksiders. But take it all in and then.... push your presence out to the cave, and see if your crystal is here and calling to you". Iella waited for a moment, just in case Nico had any questions or concerns.

Reach out through the force? She could do that... well try and do that. She didn't always search for crystals but when she did it was usually with a single purpose in mind. Now they were going to have all the fun imaginable it seemed. "Yes my master." Nico let out a small huff of air through her teeth while closing her eyes. The force pulsing in her head while she breathed in deeply and held it for a moment, letting the air go through her body and then expelled it out through her arms and legs. Her senses flaring as she took one step and then another. The last time she had been looking for crystals it had been as an apprentice and that was for her blade. She would search for them because one blade wasn't her style and she had the equipment to craft her sabers again.

Iella could sense Nico connect to the force and centre herself. She is strong and well on the way to becoming even more so. The use of the force seem to come easy to her, and Iella was impatient to she her use her saber. She had a strong feeling she would be masterful.

She let the Padawan's aura wash over her, gathering her in to her centre allowing it to meld with her's and form a more stronger bond between the two. In return .. Iella let her force energy flow to Nico, surrounding her in it and aid her with her search.

She would not speak to Nico, this was a moment for her, a personal journey she must walk herself. If her crystal was here they needed to find one another. They had time on their side and Iella was prepared to spend that time with her. Nico was worth it.

Iella's only attempt to send communication was through the force, Nico would be able to sense her pleasure through it.

Nico kept searching witht he force, not opening her eyes but allowing her senses to expand outward and around. To drinking in the energies of the planet and feeling for that crystal. The force danced around and pulled at her as she moved towards the wall and felt her master. It was a strange sensation when she touched the ice and felt a little of it become slick, the heat from her hands melting the small flecks of ice and snow. Then her fingers ran along the surface until she found it. That small irregular spot that jostled more until she pushed, pulled and prodded. Bringing it out of the wall with a soft hue of pink.

The task was not done yet, where some used one, Nico always felt better with two blade, preferred the feeling of having a blade in both her hands. Or in this case as the crystal slid into the pack with the rest of the equipment, gauntlets she was going to build saber gauntlets with some improvements to the designs. It wouldn't be the most elegant but she would be able protect and attack with it. Her hands stayed on the wall while Nico let out a breathe that chilled the air and she could feel the other one. It was right there below the surface while her fingers wiped at the ice. First slowly and then in lines to shave away and heat it up. She came away with a second crystal before letting a smile dance upon her face.

Placing her hands on Nico's shoulders, Iella looked into her eyes with a smile to match her's. "Nicely done Nico", she simply said. "Interesting .. beautiful colours your crystals are. Now, when you are ready, you may begin to construct your sabers". Iella moved away a short distance, the allow Nico to settle and focus, but to to far away if she needed her Master.

She sat down on a rock and began to meditate, ready to recite the oath once Nico had began.

Nico looked at her master and offered a smile in acknowledgment as she watched her master go to meditate. There was more to it while she sat down and slowly laid out the pieces, power cells, ignition grips, focusing lenses and finally the crystals. She didn't waste time meditating this wasn't her style but then not all sabers had to be built with the force. Some could be built by hand it let you know each inch of it and she went to work. The glove and gauntlet resting over it sliding onto her hands to be fitted, then taken off and slowly assembled. The power cells being set up for the shield and the blade while everything slid into place. Her cousin had done excellent work in making this for her and now as the casing went over it with the emitter for the shield. Her face made a small frown while not testing it yet but not starting on the second one. There was nothing but time when it came to making these.

Iella smiled as she sensed Nico had complete her first. She was interested in why she decided to manually construct but would ask later, as it is a choice. Meditation is not one of Iella's strong points but she does it ... and has noticed she grows much stronger faster with it and through it. Clarity of mind she has learned sees the way to many things and so Iella actually uses it more these days, and finds herself liking it more now.

"You know ... the jedi have a oath or code when constructing sabers and it is my duty to recite it as you begin to construct your sabers ... I shall do so now", she quieten herself and began.

"The crystal is the heart of the blade.
The heart is the crystal of the Jedi.
The Jedi is the crystal of the Force.
The Force is the blade of the heart.
All are interwined.
The Crystal, the Blade, the Jedi.
We are one."​
"Consider these words carefully upon your next one". she said continuing to meditate. "Are there any questions?". She liked being in Nico's company, somehow the girl made her feel at ease, which was a curious thing.

Nico listened to her master recite the words and they were soothing more then practical. The heart and blade were not something that were one it was the muscles that did it. Deep in the chest, your lungs held the fire that you pushed out to strengthen and feel the force. Each inhale making you faster, stronger more agile. Her hands were moving deftly over the second blade this time faster as she knew where each part needed to go and where everything had a place. No parts were left out as the casing snapped into place and Nico rose from her position. The gauntlets weight becoming strange as she put them on and slowly clenched her hands while the knuckles popped. The whites she could feel but not see as they activated and with duel snap hisses hot pink lightsaber blade sprang to life. Nico smiled holding them out for a moment before shifting her grip a little and the blades deactivated as twin circular discs appeared. Energy shields designed to defend with blades built for attacking. With a look at Iella she had a smile. "I love saber gauntlets their so bad."
 
@[member="Nico Minuro Ike"]


Iella smiled back at Nico as she had been successful. "Like the colour", her smiled broadened. "They maybe bad as you put it, but they are also deadly. Be mindful of that, Jedi do not go seeking to use their sabers, they are there for protection primarily .. attack secondly and remember be prepared to kill when you ignite them", she said as her face turned more serious now. Iella is aware that there is more to Nico then she lets on, the girl is talented in many areas and one of them is hiding her knowledge. However, her choice of blade had revealed much to Iella, she thinks about the importance of the blade, their usage and how to get the best possible advantage from them. For someone to choose these blades they must know how to use them, oh she knows Nico is skilled in saber techniques, but to have these blades is above the average.

Her saber leaped to her hand from the belt she wore. Checking the setting Iella lowered it and ignited her blade, the white pumping energy singing in the cave and filling it with the white light. "Come on.. lets see if they work", she said as she moved toward Nico and sending her through the force her intention of issuing a first strike with her blade. A slight smirk on her face as she did so.

Iella held her blade high and swung it toward Nico on the horizonal plan, aimed low for her left leg. "Now tell me, how do they feel", she asked with a searching question, Iella was still after information.

Nico looked at her master and was biting her lower lip... not from fear but because it was an inside joke something from an old holomovie. It was just something she had always wanted to do when she had had the chance. Now she did and felt like a nerd there was really no other way to describe it in the end but there wasn't time as her master brought a blade to fight her. Within a split second the snap hiss and pop activated as one shield flared bright pink to defend her leg and the saber swung. The blades length might be unadjustable but the power level was so it could be like a training blade. Nico's swung towards her master in an almost attempt to bisect her but the low settings would just singe her. "They feel good, like a familiar weight is back in my hands."

With a swift motion, Iella transferred her footing to be more square on to Nico, her blade rapidly coming up and around to strike at the opposite side with a roll of her wrist. She knew the blade would be blocked but that was not the objective, as soon as the blade finished it's arc, Iella mirrored the swing back to the original position on the left. She was using her full speed, knowing Nico could handle it.

"You are Jedi now, and could be much much stronger with those blades .. if you would connect to them. They are more then just a tool, there is more to it then strength of muscle. If you only rely on that you are limiting yourself".

Nico moved her blade back to block as Iella struck and jumped back. The shield deactivating as the blade appeared with a snap hiss and she listened to her master. A breath on came out with a grin as she spoke and felt the force pulse through her. while she moved forward spinning with the blades disappearing as the pop pop of shields activated... Her twist become more a double bash with the energy sheilds. They would go down from consecutive strikes but applying strength to her muscles. "You blade in an extension of your will and strength. It is your life and should be respected but there is far more to it then that." Her smirk as she touched the ground and crouched low switching again with duel snap hisses to the blades.
 
@[member="Nico Minuro Ike"]


"What more is there to it?", she smiled, knowing full well there is but she wanted to hear Nico say it. Iella noted the girls position in the low crouch. She was preparing either for a low block or strike or about to leap. Iella so hoped it would be a leap, as she was about to do that herself. If Nico remain low Iella would simple jump over her and strike from behind, but if she got air borne a clash of saber mid flight would be a sight to see.

Iella pushed the force to her legs and leaped in the air, the short jumps Iella can do with prowess, it is the longer distances she is hopeless at always finding herself tangled in trees.

Nico moved not up or low but when her master lept she lept back staying low but bringing her blades up to block her masters strike. The blades snapping away into the shields again while the force flowed deep into her muscles and she spoke in answer to her masters question. "There is the will behind it, if your blade is not ready to take a life you should not use it." Her face showed a smirk though of it, the fight being something she liked going on, the enjoyment from it let little crackles of pink spark between her fingers.

"Is it the blades will or your will Nico?, the saber is a weapon it is the person holding it that needs to also have that conviction". she said as the sent three rapid strikes toward Nico, right leg, left arm and finally to her left shoulder in a diagonal plan. Iella's speed had accelerated, almost at full speed, she had more to give of course but she was not going to go there with Nico.

"After this, I need to travel to Tython, I would like you to come with me. I have some things I must do there and some ... people to see", she wanted to see her children and check up on the Seers. "There is plenty for you to do there, if you wish some self training it is the only place for it and we will continue training as well", she said.

Nico moved and brought her arms around while bolstering the shield to defend and then her master was talking while she back up. The lightning crackling until the attacks stopped and Iella was speaking more. Without speaking the pop pop as the shields deactivated and she stood there listening. With a nod of understanding about going to Tython again. She had a smile on her face. "Understood master, what would you like me to do on Tython?"
 
@[member="Nico Minuro Ike"]


Iella walked around the cave thinking upon the suggestions she had just made however, something else sprang to mind. There was something on Tython that needed to be explored and investigated, if for no other reason then to find knowledge and to place a warning to all the Jedi.

"I need to go to The Rift valley, down into the Abyss of Ruh. It is said to be heavily connected to the darkside and dangers to anyone that goes there. However, this must be investigated and the truth of the place revealed for all the Jedi", she said more talking out loud. "Do you think you would be up for that challenge? .. to come with me there".

"Go to a place steeped in the darkside and that is dangerous?" Nico didn't need to take longer then ten seconds to think about it. This was something that could prove useful in learning and training as she smiled and gave a nod. "Sign me up."
 
@[member="Nico Minuro Ike"]


Iella smiled at Nico and turned to leave the cave. "Then we shall depart immediately", she said as she made her way back to the ship. The ice cold air biting her cheeks and turning then a rosy red, Iella climbed the ramp and went directly to the bridge. She asked the pilot to set course for Tython.

The End.
