[Adonari Cinn]

The air around him was cold on the bare flesh of his upper body causing his nipples to grow firm. His old thoughts and humor still hadn't been eradicated but A'donari wasn't scared of who he was anymore. His Master had gone into great detail multiple times about why being who you were and embracing it was not crippleing but the complete opposite. It gave a Jedi Knight internal strength along with confidence while connecting with the light side of the force. "One must be a complete life force without fear or angst towards ones self for the force to be used to it's full capacity through us." @[member="Ben Watts"]

With a touch of the force the lightsaber in his right hand hissed to life resonating a light blue glow on his body. The continuous humming from the blade allowed for a focusing point that A'donari latched onto for a split second before letting go completely of his surroundings. He lost site or care of the five hovering droids set to fire at him on random since he could feel them from within. It seemed to be a waist of time for him to center his thoughts around such a feeble task as blocking the bolts that he knew were coming before they had even been fired. From within he could feel his limbs move freely without hesitation through the familiar delicately precise yet comfortable positions of Soresu. The resilience form was the way of his Master Ben and the form he had Mastered himself under the guidance of his teacher. It was beautiful in his mind and brought a deeper sense of peace to his thoughts.

Calm tranquil energy flowed through his body allowing him to move faster and without the cost of fatigue like the dark side of the force use to. The light side that completely filled him now called for him to explore deeper within himself. Pushing him to explore himself and find out who the real Jedi was waiting to be unlocked from deep within. A second deeper part of his conscious took control of his body through the will of the force while he turned his thoughts towards the decisions that had made up his life since being taken in under Master Ben. The want to be a light for those who needed his protection. His knowing and happy acceptance to the fact of his own life being less important than those who surrounded him if the sacrifice was for the good of the force. The stance he would take would to save the innocent or the weak from persecution. He would stand up for the hungry and poor without care or fear of his reputation or selfish needs. In a revelating flash, A'donari saw himself standing alone blocking the endless darkness from taking an inch closer towards the innocent, poor, weak, and abused beings throughout the universe that were behind him. He was willing to make a stand with his own life as a beacon of light screaming throughout the galaxy to bring peace and happiness to all life forms.

Blaster bolts began to fire at the most rapid rate but he took no mind to the droids still. His body was merely a tool for the force to be channeled through and he knew that he was safe from any harm. The calm composure remained over his mind as the self he envisioned began to walk towards him. Soon he was face to face with himself. The Jedi's kind eyes brought joy to his heart and he knew everything would be okay no matter what. The Jedi he knew he would become through his actions took a step closer entering A'donari's physical being. It was strange to him to feel no change once the man who had once been standing before him was now resting peacefully in his soul. For a split second he had expected himself to feel like double the man he once was before but he felt no different. He was himself.

Like a flash of light shooting into his unconscious eyes A'donari's deepest conscious self opened before him and he realized what the force had been trying to teach to him. The man who had been standing before him was not who he would become but who he already was. The Jedi Knight that he had thought he had been working to become all this time was already who he was deep down. That's what made him a Jedi all the way down to his soul.


His soul seemed to morph back into his body causing him to feel his limbs that were limber and pain free. The only change was the sweat that now streamed from everyone of his pours and had accumulated into a huge puddle beneath his feet. His body moved without the need of his mind continuously while the force flowed at will through his body. He continued his training for another ten minutes without growing tired before deciding a small training session was fine for that day. With a decision from his inner thoughts the droids turned off at his touch with the force. They idled in place while he stood and breathed casually before the droids roboticly spoke to him, "Your session is complete. You have trained for five hours and thirty two minutes." The words shocked him. Five hours had passed in what had seemed like the blink of an eye. The force had taken control in a way that A'donari had only known through the vague teachings of Ben. Now that he had felt it himself he knew there was no describing the feeling. A Jedi had to live and breath the force down to their soul before the could fulfill the potential they held as a beacon of the Light side of the force. His Master had been right all along.

Extinguishing his lightsaber A'donari walked out of the training arena of the Teferi to get ready for the meeting Darron had called with a new found focus and confidence in the force like he had never felt before.

Tython
The mission had gone well; all things considered A'donari thought to himself as flash backs from days before still played in his mind. He pictured those who had lost their lives fighting against the Jedi. Lost and confused souls who were doing what they saw as right in their circumstances probably miss lead by their cruel Pirate leader. This was the path of the Jedi that no one told you about. The endless turmoil of ones soul knowing what death meant. Who was A'donari to pass such judgement. Why was he given the right to say who lives and dies. These questions he knew he couldn't solve on his own so he pushed them to the back of his mind storing them for later.

Moving onto the positives of the battle was the only way he knew to pull himself out of his funk. He began listing them to himself and dissect each portion of the battle to see where he had excelled or failed in the eyes of those around him. If each and every soldier had made it out alive under his command he would have been happy but sadly that hadn't been the case. Okay focus. A'donari said to himself once more. "A. Knew ally's have been forged between @[member="Mairra Fehn"] @[member="Ronin Wendigo"] and the Antar 5 special unit who had fought with the Jedi, and held their own well, while the planet had been under attack. B. Antar 5 had now been safely returned to the control of the Mayor who was more than happy for the support of the Republic. C. Ben and Darron's unit had made it out alive on their mission." All and all he knew helping the planet had been for the best.

Walking up behind Ben who was sitting in a meditation position on the ground in the Jedi Temple's training grounds A'donari spoke telepathically, the way of communicating he had grown fond of between himself and his Master. The words held the inner strength of emotion allowing him to understand what Ben meant behind every word. "Would you like me to join you in meditation or did you actually try to think of something fun for today @[member="Ben Watts"]?" he said with a slight jab of light humar to start the day off with.

 

[Ben Watts]

Ben's eyes opened as he felt A'donnari approach him, the man who had once stood before him as a confused Padawan, was now a Knight well on his way to becoming a staple in the Jedi community. From his first mission on Cato Neiomodia, to his bravery and initiative on Antar, he was starting to grab the attention of the Jedi Council and garner the respect of other Jedi. Ben twinged with pride, he was his first Padawan, and he was coming along at a rate that even Ben did not accomplish when he had began his training all those years ago.

"Everything I do is fun, A'donnari, you just don't share the same interests as me." He dropped his lightsaber slowly into his lap, standing up, and clipping it to his waist. He turned to face the Knight and he smiled brightly in welcoming. "No, I have called you here today to see if you have been practicing the skill I taught you." He had been slowly showing A'donnari the force talent Battle Precognition, the skill that had become the staple of Ben's fighting style, without it he may have never become the Jedi he was today. "Learning to predict moves before they even happen will benefit you greatly in the future, it is a skill that very few possess, and even fewer have mastered. It is difficult, I know, but believe me when I say it is worth it."

A'donari smirked at his Master's banter back to him. He had been awaiting this day for many months. "I have trained night and day over the past months and although what I feel is not near where yours is I am beginning to feel the force showing more than one mere glimpse of small actions of what is to come. It's not that I am having the visions for longer but they are becoming more precise and frequent throughout sparring with and training on my own. What I have noticed is that the more frequently I see the visions the easier it is for my body to react through the guidance of the force allowing me to not only react but act and gain advantages when it is possible."


Ben nodded and began a deeper part of the discussion on Battle Precognition and it's connection to the unifying force while also giving him new ways to train. As always before wrapping up their lectures Ben would explain to him in vague detail the feelings he should expect. This time being the different ways the force would alert him when the precognition went off.
