"That's good young ones, keep your guards up high." Lily instructed providing a class for the youngest in the Order, ones without a Master yet and just learning how to wield the Lightsaber that they recently constructed. It was a task that Lily had to adopt as Battle Master and it was one that she enjoyed for the most part. There was some tedium in teaching classes like this but it was also a great way to instil the foundation of all the Lightsaber Forms as well as ensuring that the next generation of Jedi were taught in the depth how to use the blade that they hold. It was something that she was sure every Battle Master got to enjoy or learned to find peace within. It was something Lily knew she would think of more fondly than some of the other work that she needed to get done.

Finishing the class up, "remember, these blades require patience and bonding through the Force is crucial in mastering the flow in which the blade moves." Lily instructed the class before dismissing them. Taking the time, Lily moved to her desk and typed some notes on how the class and where the improvements she needed to make as a teacher could be made. It was important to reflect in her mind and it was also important to ensure she provided the best teaching skills she could to Kito as well.

Stretching her limbs, Lily groaned a little, "time to get some training in..." Lily thought aloud to herself as she looked at the time. There was enough free time for Lily to get some decent training in before her next class. A good way to clear her thoughts and get her head ready for when she had to give the next class their lecture.

Heading to the training room, Lily wasn't sure what she wanted to train with. Either it would be fists, weapons, Force training. Perhaps finding a sparring partner would help Lily more, since she was feeling indecisive on what she was wishing to train with. So Lily figured she would reach out and send a message offering any Jedi a chance to train with the Battle Master for a time.

Shirayan Temple

Caelian Tane was in one of the common quarters given to him during his stay at the Shirayan Temple,
Surrounded by the pleasant scents of incense and polished wood and the mountainous air,

he has been studying old Jedi texts about the old history of the Jedi, among other things.


The calmness of the Temple and the surrounding area has been an amazing experience,


While reading one of the many texts borrowed from the Library there, his communicator beeped softly. It was a message from Battle Master Lily, inviting any jedi willing to spar and train with her.

"I've heard of her somewhat, He thinks to himself, isnt she Echani too?"

This was an opportunity, hopefully, learn some new moves with a lightsaber, She is a Battle-Master after all or maybe, Practice some Echani hand-to-hand combat. A slight smile appeared on Caelian's face as he felt excited for this day as he changed into his training gear and made his way to the training room, his Lightsaber still hanging off his belt.


Eventually reaching the doors and stepping on through into the room before him.

Lily was stretching her limbs as Caelian walked into the room, it hadn't taken long for someone to find some interest in fighting Lily, which made sense to her. But she was intrigued that it was someone that she assumed was another Echani, just by his appearance and the way that he carried himself, it was the first time in a long time that Lily had found herself training with another Echani and Lily was excited by the idea. While she enjoyed fighting amongst her Jedi peers and training with those who are skilled fighters, little compared to fighting with a fellow Echani. The unspoken language that could be communicated and the ease at which it flowed. That was something shared only with those who were born on Eshan from Lily's experience.

"Greetings, I am glad to meet another Echani Jedi, there are not many from what I have seen at least." Lily gave a polite, friendly smile as she gave a short, but respectful bow. "I am Lily Decoria, as I guess you already know from the invitation I sent out." She breathed in deeply, and relaxed as she began studying the form of her future opponent, seeing where it would be his strengths laid.

"How do you wish to fight? Echani fashion? With just Lightsabers or with Lightsabers and the Force?" Offering the man the chance to determine the style in which they fought, while Lily had a preference, she did not wish to demand a sparring partner as well as attempt to demand the way that they sparred as well. It would be far too controlling from her viewpoint. Instead, it felt fairer to allow the partner to set the terms for their fight. "Shall be fun to see how another Echani developed their fighting style within the Jedi."

Shirayan Temple

Caelian stepped fully into the training chamber, the noises of the Temple fading behind him as the doors sealed shut. His icey blue eyes settled on Lily, watching as she looked at him.

"Greetings, I am glad to meet another Echani Jedi, there are not many from what I have seen at least." she said, at that he smiled, "So she is the one I've heard about, hopefully her skills weren't exaggerated" he thought to himself,
Returning the bow as she continued.
"It's good to meet you Knight Decoria" he said respectfully, "Sadly you are right, but hopefully that will change sometime in the future,"
A breath later,


At her question, his gaze shifted, as he studied the way she moved, and the way she held herself,
reading it the way only an Echani could.

"Echani fashion," he replied while stepping forward, boots quiet against the training floor, rolling his shoulders loose as the stiffness left his frame,

"And then maybe we could move onto lightsabers?" he asked her, and as he waited for her to respond, His stance changed, no longer to that of a Jedi Knight but something more Instinctive.
His legs spread apart as he shifted his body to the side, his palms out, one more forward then the other.

"i'm sure this will be entertaining to say the least" he said with a smile.

Nodding her head, there was desire to jump in joy that Lily suppressed as she removed her gauntlets and placed them to one side. Piling her Lightsabers there as well and her boots. If this was going to be truly an Echani style fight, Lily had no desire to allow anyone to frame her victory or defeat on cheating or unfair advantages. Unclipping her belt and adding that final piece to her pile of belongings. Lily then stepped away from the pile and stretched her muscles and little more before the fight.

"Never hold back." Lily stated firmly, she was not going to hold her skills back and she did not wish to have an opponent hold back on her. The only way to grow stronger in Lily's mind was to throw it all in when fighting. Seeing what would work and what couldn't work.

Lily smirked, "impressive that you think you will have enough stamina to go for a second round with me. Impressive or foolish, suppose we'll have to see which." Lily giggled to herself as she shifted naturally into an Echani starting pose. While it had been a while since she last fought an Echani warrior, Lily was far from out of practice in how the fights were conducted and how one fought. Combat was Lily's favourite language and she was truly well verse in the language.

Shifting from perfectly composed and still, Lily dashed forward, jumping forward as she threw a hard and fast flying front kick. A strong kick to test the defences of her opponent. Her guard remained high and there was a smirk etched on her lips as she was excited to see what could be learned from her opponent in this fight.

Caelian watched as she removed her gear, his eyes tracing her body, studying how she moved,

"I'm sure you know you'd never have to ask a real Echani to not hold back" he replied to her with a laugh.
He had no plans to hold back he also knew that she wouldn't either,

With a roll of his shoulders he ready's himself again, mentally preparing for the fight that's about to go down, in no galaxy would he underestimate a Battle-Master.

"impressive that you think you will have enough stamina to go for a second round with me. Impressive or foolish, suppose we'll have to see which." she said to him while shifting into her fighting pose,

"No one's said anything bad about my stamina so far" he replied, with a smirk, and a low laugh "Lets see if you can keep up."
and at that she attacked, Quick and fast, a front kick came flying straight towards him, "There she is" he thought to himself while quickly bringing up his knee to check her kick, before transitioning into a counter- returning her attack with a kick to her side, resetting, then letting her come to him again.

Instead of verbally stating that Lily could more than keep up with Caelian. She decided to demonstrate it, show the language in Echani form. The block from his knee was impressive since she was aiming above the waist with her kick. However, she pushed off his knee and created space between them. Enough space that allowed the counter kick to connect with nothing but the air between them. Lily was remaining upbeat and engaged with the fight, seeing the fluid movements of the block then countering kick.

Seeing him maintain the defensive front, it was interesting. It seemed that he was seeking to pull more attacks from her, strike at him with her moves while he merely maintained the defence. A way to ensure that she tired enough to start landing his attacks. It was one strategy that people had employed in the past against her. Lily, however, never backed down from this kind of strategy. She knew all too well how to face someone trying to be highly defensive.

Darting forward once again, Lily moved forward with an aggressive stomping kick to the dominant leg's knee on Caelian while also punching hard to the chest of Caelian. Aiming to knock the wind out of the other Echani. Lily maintained a smile, a confident smirk as the aggressive moves, the fast and strong offensive was showing that Lily enjoyed being offensive and had the stamina and skill to back that energy up.
