Chaca nodded and smiled quickly as the Droid agreed that the best course of action at this point would be evasion. For two drastically different forms of sentience, Chaca and Ultimatum paralleled in a lot of ways, something that Chaca valued grately about his droid friend. Ultimatum often had a logical nonconfrontational demeanor, much like Chaca. Chaca preferred noncombatance.. and though he would defend himself if needed, he preferred to evade.. live... And let live.
"I think we may be able to give it a few moments to wander out of our path. Or..."
Chaca looked down at the droid pondering for a moment before continuing his statement
"How connected do you feel to the creature... through the force? With your connection I might be able to teach you to redirect the wurm elsewhere through willing it to do so"
The boy said softly, crouching down upon the branch, ears still perking up to monitor the wurm. If they would need to suddenly flee or move, Chaca wanted to be ready
Ultimatum's next question caught the young feline-like creature off guard, and he actually had to think for a moment how to respond to such a query. It wasn't that he wanted to leave Ultimatum in the dark or anything; it was more a challenging thing to explain, as he himself only had scraped the surface of understanding
"That is kinda difficult to answer..."
Chaca pondered for a moment, wanting to tell his friend what he knew. But the truth was a confusing thing for a creature like Chaca. The force influenced his life more than could ever be realized, and somehow instinctively he understood that. But gaining a logical understanding of what, why...and how.. he was what he was... That was something that had eluded Chaca.
"It's kind of a funny thing. The more I learn about the force.. The more I realize how very little I know. Ive learned enough to know that of the infinite possibilities... The infinite realities and infinite energy forms present in the force, my mind has only managed to grasp a tiny fragment of what there is to understand."
Pausing, Chaca reflected for a moment before continuing.
"My memory is kind of strange. I only remember bits and pieces of my life, mostly recent. So, when I "know" something...I really can't be certain if its something I already knew in my mind, or if its something I have just received in the force."
The boy looks off for a moment, reflecting on the various visions and bits of information he seems to receive from within
"The force contains the collective knowledge of all life - and the force itself controls the knowledge we have access to. The force always allows that which will maintain balance. Even the greatest masters in the universe.. Both dark and light side users... Only tap into the tiniest bit of the infinite potential in the force. Balance is always maintained in the force; and though dark and light both think they tip the scales at times in their own favor, truthfully the balance has never been lost."
He paused, monitoring the wurm before continuing
"The force creates beings in the center; neutralities that are not taken by light or dark - not consumed by the nature of either side. My instincts tell me a great many things that I don't feel I would just...know or remember - I think my instinct is my connection to the force.
I'm not entirely sure why the force seems to dull around me... why I can't use it...and why others can't use it when they are very close to me. My only conclusion...the force wills it for my purpose. I think I may be one of those very neutralities I spoke of."
He thought for a moment, trying to explain in a way that would make sense. Chaca felt a little hesitant about telling others that he was uncertain of his very own nature. It made him seem even more hazardous to be around. But Ultimatum seemed more accepting and logical, so Chaca answered truthfully, and thoroughly as he could
"For example. I can't do it myself, but somehow deep down inside I know how you can connect to that wurm through the force. I'm not sure why or how.. But I know how to do it, and I feel I could explain it to you if you want to try it".
He said gently, hoping at this point he made sense, and didn't sound like some sort of crazed individual citing words of false prophecy
------------
It seemed that the wurm didnt realize, or respond to being probed by the force. The inside of its mind was rather agitated, containing fear, uncertainty and even rage. Something stirred this great beast up. Upari would probably be able to tell that the massive forest creature was usually not a dangerous wurm, primarily feeding on plant life. It would only -usually- attack if provoked or threatened, but otherwise would usually disregard small life forms for the most part.
But something was different today, within the creatures mind. Moments after connecting to the creature, Upari would probably feel the very source of the beast's torment. A wave of aggression and fear would wash through the beast, coming seemingly from the direction that Chaca and Ultimatum were heading. It was most certainly a dark-side energy that was effecting the creature.
