Introduced To The Force

[Mac-Man]

[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

The teen had his eyes switching between the blaster and the man as he watched him use the force to destroy the blaster that was formerly in the hand of the other teen. He was mixed inside with amazement and confusion seeing the force being used in front of him almost forgetting the current dilemma around him in the from of the group of guys wanting the credits. He wanted to asked questions about how the force before but now his interest on it started to rise even more.

The other teen and his group on the other hand were quickly surprised as well as caught off guard from the recent action that the man did . After the initial shock, the other teen move back a few steps away from the guy. "Look....I was cheated in a game by this person right here with credits on the line." He said pointing to the teen, beginning to explain. " I was about to win until a riot was started,he left the place when it happen.

"That a lie!!" The teen responded raising his voice a bit." I was playing fair and from what I was told by this guy he was cheating."

"Oh really then prove it." The other teen said.

"I was told that you have a card sleeve holder on one of your arms." He answered " Let us check you to see if you have it on."

If was then that the other teen cursed inside as he still has the card holder on his arm. "Please I don't cheat in card games I'm a good person." he lying said to the man.

It was then with the threat of blaster all but neutralized in one fell swoop by the strange man. That seem to much those present concern once the initial shock had come to pass. Sort of slowly but surely taken the bravado from the other to continue the fight. As they then slowly began slow away and afford put a decent distance. Between them and the elder man at which time who then.

"Ok now that settled.... and I reckon just to be fair. Anyone care speaks up before and explains yourselves....."

No sooner came to let his arms fall to cross onto his chest. As his gaze turns to eye them all individually thought as he did so. That the offending youth that held the blaster at him began to speak first.

"Look....I was cheated in a game by this person right here with credits on the line."

At which time seem even without speaking under their breath. Both Ronin and the elder man began converse amongst themselves thru the force. With the elder man thought still listening to what was being said was no less. As the offending youth then raised a hand to point at the other whom Ronin was with as he adds. Seem hope to get his point out first in order to shift the blame on someone other than himself.

" I was about to win until a riot was started,he left the place when it happens."

To which the accused youth then replied.

"That a lie!!"

At which time the elder man gaze turn towards him upon hears his voice raised in protest.

" I was playing fair and from what I was told by this guy he was cheating."

In which time thought without words the side conversation between Ronin and the elder man. Seem no less engaging as with deep sigh and a faint shift in his gaze. There was no question Ronin wasn't faring any better than the two. In the eyes of the elder man who with seem patience and keen intent listen to all in silence.

"Oh really then prove it."

As the conversation shifted between the two that the youth spoke and seem on cue. The elder gaze turns to the youth arms. Which he eyed with silent keen interest....

"I was told that you have a card sleeve holder on one of your arms."


To which the youth seem indignantly adds.

" Let us check you to see if you have it on."

In which time the offending youth seem to realize the gig up began to reply. As he silently cursed himself and spoke.


To which the stranger seem with a silent gaze appear to confer as in silent conversation with Ronin spoke.

"Well, I guess don't got all day and we yet still have some place be.....now that I've located Apprentice Ronin here. So..."

Seem with a slight sight he then raised his hand in a seem faint wave motion.

"I reckon it be best you get home now boy and maybe try to rethink your life......before trouble bites you back you here."


At which time seem in a haze daze the offending youth somewhat mirror what was said spoke.

" Yeah I reckon I best be head home and rethink my life....."

And just like that with a motion of his hand the gang slowly began to disperse. Leaving Ronin, youth and elder man......who waited till they were alone to turn his gaze at Ronin.


"Well this be another fine mess you almost got us in....you were supposed to be over by the hangar bay by now......ship be leaving and we have a long way before...."

His words seem cut short as he turns to the youth.

"...but then again can say I know why ......kid got it in him though we're not the order of old Ronin. Choice is his to make not ours...."

Watching the elder waving his hand towards the other teen and his gang caused him to look on in confusion as it looked like nothing happen until a second later he see the effects of the action caused by the old man as the gang including the other teen began to leave. The confusion inside of him now had a layer of disbelief as well as he began to think about now it was possible.


"Wait a minute.." The teen whispered heading over to the other teen he played cards against. He grabbed his arm and pulled his sleeve to see the card holder on his arm. "He was right...he was cheating..." He whispered to himself. Having now realized what had happen he back away and allowed the other teen to leave. While he did think to take the credits away he didn't want to take the chance of him and his group coming for him again and was grateful in being okay. He looked over at the other two people and notice that they were about to leave the area.

A part of him knew these two were different from others and had so much questions to ask about what just did today. He walked over to Ronin in order to see if he okay.

"Hey..."The teen said to him." Thank you for helping me when you didn't have to." He said "Are you ok? How did you and him do the thing you guys did?"

It was then that with a stern gaze the elder of the two Jedi. Came watch as the rest of the other opposing youth left.Though not without one last min. incident where the one Ronin was aiding. Seem out of curiosity came forth to yank at the gang leader arm expose to him and the elder the truth to his words. To which with faint sight of relief as seem a silent conversation pass between the two without a word said.

To which seem content with the situation diffused he then began lead Ronin off. But not before the youth came forth speak and Ronin replied.

"Nah, don't worry I'm fine...just a scratch...."

His gaze then turn towards the elder Jedi briefly. Before the elder eventually spoke up. ..

".....as to how it was supposed be done well that another thing. Which apprentice Ronin here would need more time training for once we return to the Temple. For a Jedi defends not fight randomly...however great the cause would be.

But tell me for I am curious to know. ...how did you two happen to come know each other? ...."

[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

Hearing the question of how the two met each other from the old man, the teen looked at him and replied " Well. I was doing a card game against one of those people but then he started a riot" The teen said to him, he didn't who he was but knew that without him he and Ronin would be still dealing with them. He also had a question he wanted to ask to them.

"I need to ask but what is a jedi? Is that what give you your powers to do what you did to them?"

[member="Mac-Man"]

It was then no sooner had the mention of the riot was said. That the elder of the two Jedi shifted a stern glance over to Ronin. Who by then raised a hand to tub over the nape of his neck while he spoke.

"Well sort of.....see they started it ....when.."


At which case before he could say anything more the elder seem ready to reply. Until the youth spoke some more and continued ask. To which made the elder Jedi turn toward him with a somewhat friendly neutral tone.

" For more that centuries the Jedi were the Guardian of peace...order....Till the dark times.....and as for power ? It is not but a skill harness thru training inherit in some more than others......much like yourself....thought it's not for us to say but a choice we all make...."

 

[Mac-Man]

[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

"Jedis.. guardians of peace and order" The teen said taking in the elder's explanation. "So if you guys get your power doing that thing you did. "He said " Can I get that power if I trained hard?" He asked "I mean is it possible for someone like me to become one of you guys?"

 

[000]

It was then seem for a brief moment Ronin was spared a second time from the elder Jedi probing questions by the youth. Who by then continued on probe them with his on inquiry by pose a followup question. Turn his head slightly back at him and raise a hand to stoke his chin with the tip of his fingertips.

"That you could ......if you so chose to and even maybe better that Ronin here. If you can muster the disiplne and comittment to follow thru the path. Thought it is not with share of danger and trials. "

 

[Mac-Man]

[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

If was then that hearing those words from the elder that the teen started to think about what he could do as a Jedi, making him smile but stopped when he remember what the elder said about the danger and trials.

"What kind of danger and trials would I have to deal with? How hard will it be?" He asked how with a worried look on his face. "Would it be the kind that would kill me because if that the case then I don't know if it worth it in the end. "

[member="Mac-Man"]

It was then thought silently admonishing Ronin for what he deemed. Troubled he'd caused given what the youth said regarding riot in one of the nearby establishment. Meddling in what he believed were petty local affairs....endagering and involving the youth before them. On top of the fact how his action now might affect the mission as a whole.

When out of the blue his attention yet again came upon the youth. Who seem to genuinely been enticed by the prospect of talks about jedi as he'd mentioned it. But just the same no sooner seem shifted to worry as he inquisitive inquired about the possible mortality issue. As the idea slowly sinked in.

At which time he casually paused and addressed his concern and question.

" Well in regards to dangers or trials.... That I can't say for certain for it differs from individual to individual. And I will not lie... tell you it mostly will no less be quite significant. For me personally...... Nothing of worth can be really forge without great sacrifice nor hard work.

And well in regards to the perils of death..... It I may say inevitable. It will come no matter what though succumbing to it for such a noble way.... In service of others selflessly? Is there no better cause or reason..... "

Hearing the answer to his question from the elder, the teen responded feeling a bit discouraged. However, while His interest in the jedi lessen the things he see didn't one bit. He thought about if it was possible to learn this on his own but he decided not to ask, thinking he could if he listened to he elder and work hard on it. But he didn't know how it can be used, he notice that it can affect humans as he seen a second ago but also on the door as well.

"What else could you guys do with that thing that used against the teens? Could it make you stronger,what can it also do?" He asked looking around for something until he sees a rock. He head over to it and picks it up,showing it to the two. "Could you do something to this rock? What could you do to this rock with that thing you guys did?"

It was then with the utmost care and interest that the elder Master turned face towards the youth.


" Well in a certain point of view far more than one can imagine. For the force is my ally and what a powerful ally it is. For it is in all it is since time in memoriam.....in all things great and small. And that there lies the danger...... much like a double edge sword. It has both the capacity for good as well as not.

For we are but servants of the force and it is its will not ours that matter.

But I guess we have tardied from our task as it is and tell you what. "

He then habds the boy a small holo cube and a card.

" Here is a copy of jedi teachings and history. Read it.... And learn it well....then when you are ready come see me. Show the card to one the freight captain named Solo. He frequently stop in this planet every two season..... "

 

[Mac-Man]

[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

Taking the the small holo cube and a card the teen examined them specialty the holo cube as he never seen anything like it before until now. He check the cube looking all over the thing in hopes of finding a way to open it but can't seem to find it.

"Look I thank you for giving me this and a chance to learn about the jedi.." He said trying to find the right words to finish the sentence. He felt awkward as a part of him think that opening the cube would be an easy to do once he found out how to open it. "But I don't know how to open this. Heck I don't even know if I have the ability that to do what you guys did." He admitted. " And If I don't have the ability then you would have given this to me for nothing."

[member="Mac-Man"]

It was then with great care and caution the elder of the two Jedi. Watched and listened intently as the youth spoke and seem graciously accepted his offer. To which with after a brief moment of thought he then came forth speak.

"Perhaps...although it seems to be both a conundrum and well ....I guess just this once I could show you. Or better yet hint on the how and see how well you'll pick up on things....now let me see....well first I would ask that you close your eyes and think of one thought....one that you hold dear to your heart......then let me know if you have it ....and if when you do hold out your hand.....while hold the item loosely in our hand. "

 

[Mac-Man]

[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

Hearing the words from the elders the best he can he looks at the cube once more then closing his eyes with the cube and the words the last thing on his mind before clearing his thoughts and loosen if grip on it thinking of the one thought that he hold dear to him. Soon after a couple of seconds he found the though he was looking for.

"Grandfather..." He thought to himself thinking about the time he had with the man. The memories that he would cherish dearly till the day he die. He remembers one memory where he would talk about his parents, the parents he never knew about. He wished he could see them one day. The thoughts soon caused the cube to react to the teen.

 

[000]

[member="Mac-Man"]

It was then once the youth had seem to understand and all but utter a name....or more like person. That he noted the cube slightly glow in hand .That all but garnered a passing glance from him to Ronin. As he then slowly in a calm voice adds.

"...good now hold onto that thought ....feel ...don't think....use your instincts....let them come and guide your step as you slowly open your eyes.....focused on light....the good and the spirit of the person..."

 

[Mac-Man]

[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

Listening to the elder words while focusing on the cube the teen held onto the thoughts of the memories of his grandfather, the feeling of being with him as a child before is passing and used his instincts on the cube. The teen was now nervous inside, he didn't know what was happen and how it would affect him. Hearing the elderly man telling him to open his eyes he did as he was told slowly causing to see the cube activating in front of him.

The teen was in amazement as to how the cube looked, focusing on the light that was Illuminating the area that he was told by the elderly. The good and the spirit of the person.

"What do I do next?"

 

[000]

[member="Mac-Man"]

It was then with a silent smug smirk the elder of the two Jedi then glance back at the youth to ronin briefly. Seem to bemuse by the fact that it seems there was some truth to his words unspoken after all. At any rate with the cube now glowing ever so brightly for a moment before. Seem as if like the ebb of unseen wave slowly hummed and its light slightly flickers in tune to the youth amazement. As he then seems innocently asked soon after .


"What do I do next?"

To which end the elder then seem turned to met his gaze replied.

"...ask of it what you wish to learn of the force and it shall answer. So as long your intention are pure and of the light.....made not of fear, anger nor hate.....for these are the path to the darkside. Which onto all things I the flipside of the light from which as Jedi we are... a servant and follower of....."

 

[Mac-Man]

[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

"Ask what I wish to learn of the force..." where the words that the teen repeated a part of him focused on the cube. The other part of him thought about what he wanted to asked about the cube while he had the chance but while he did that the cube started to deactivate and return to normal. The teen notices this and quickly attempt to stop this.

"No no..." He said focusing on the cube one more until it's fully active once more. "That was close.." He thought keeping his attention toward he cube. He then realized something and wanted to ask? Keeping some of focus on the cube making sure it's activate he then asked

"Could I ask it to teach me how to use the force?" The teen asked carious.

[member="Mac-Man"]

It was then with the silent glance towards Ronin then back towards the boy. The elder Master waited and patiently watched from the distance. As he opened both his sense in the force and keep his thought in the then and now. Observing and watching with keen interest as he silently took note. As though unspoken, it was not lost on him that which been the silent conversation between the two of them.

How thought it had not been his intention nor his way. That Ronin seem found and located a viable student to take back with them. Abet he'd been somewhat older and apparently grounded in the world at large. That he would have hoped he no less, in fact, seem promising. For so few and far in between had the search for a new viable student to take back to the temple had been of late. For it seems with all the instability and conflict within the realms.
At any rate thought the youth's ability to access the Holocron had started promising. His attention had been somewhat lax and at best distracted to which he made a point to note. As the youth slowly seem to recover and spoke.

"Could I ask it to teach me how to use the force?"

To which in a seemingly neutral tone he 'd replied.

"Perhaps, for it only speaks to those that have the ability. But with shall we say varying results. For just knowing without guidance is a somewhat.....tricky proposition.
Though I am curious if may ask you.....why is it you wish to learn the use of the force "
