The knight sped off to assist the master with the fainting padawan at the entrance. Her brow arched at the wonder of how many more padawans had succumbed to the conditions of just getting here.

Lily to her credit was interested in seeing if more padawans were in similar conditions.

"Gotta give him points for making it in the door." She remarked quietly, gathering her Poncho off the floor in time for another to approach Briana and make a social request to speak with her.

Lossa weighed her options, grimacing as she nudged Lily.

"I think the first lesson is going to start. And I trust someone is already looking for people on the slopes. Let's leave Bri to deal with her fans." She teased openly, nodding towards Romi before grabbing a towel for herself.

"Later loser." The comment directed to Briana as Lossa shot her a peace sign and walked off, awkwardly kicking the Poncho along before picking it up and holding it out to the side where Lily wasn't if she joined Lossa.

The blindfolded man mentioned the weather, and he's unsure if he's joking or not. Regardless, he went along with it. "Yes, nothing like a few life-threatening rocks to jump one's adrenaline." and he nodded to the healer's suggestion. "Alright. I'm pretty confident I'm fine, but I won't say no to a extra-sure way to make sure I'm healed." and it seems that they were mostly in agreement; to get a move on before they're too late. But before they could even do that, that one line came on...

"If you're going to suck on his ego that much, you might as well go on to his third appendage."

Oh... his smile was raised high. A Jedi with a attitude like that? That's rare to come by. He's more entertained than insulted by it. "I would, but it sounds like you're projecting... I wouldn't want to steal him. He's all yours." and with that, he gave a pat on Mago's back, as if to say "go on over" to Tala.

Trusting that they would eventually make their way to the ceremony, he paid attention for most of it.

When the prompt came for their opinions to be shared for the journey, well... he had quite a few complaints. But he didn't know how to respectfully say it without coming across as obnoxious. "For the next training sesh, can we have a luxury planet? Y'know, clean streets, pristine palaces, marble floors... where I wouldn't have to worry about getting my robes all muddy." He's sure that some people felt the same way, they just didn't want to speak up.

 

[Mago Leomax]

"If you're going to suck on his ego that much, you might as well go on to his third appendage."

His head turned slowly towards the other Miraluka. His what? Was she serious?

"I would, but it sounds like you're projecting... I wouldn't want to steal him. He's all yours." and with that, he gave a pat on Mago's back, as if to say "go on over" to Tala.

And then he got a pat to go over to her when she threw the waterskin at the wall. He didnt need eyes to see her anger rise at such a thing. And what did he smell from it? He faced the older girl. "'The size of a person," he began reciting an old, old Jedi Master. "may be measured by the size of the things that make them angry.' And Anger leads to the Darkside." He made his way over to her waterskin and retrieved it, walking back to hand it to her. He wrinkled his nose at the smell. "I don't know what was in here, but this does not deserve your anger. And you make yourself smaller than it when you act like that. I've tried to be your friend, and you make jokes at Vayl and I's expense? I may have little experience with people and more with books, but it seems I have learned more than you have."

He took a few steps from her before adding, "I hope to see you inside, Tala Vale , and to learn alongside you." He gave a small bow, even to another padawan, before continuing up to the summit.

There, the Jedi Master running this training exercise spoke to them all and directed them to find their places to rest after they talked.

He raised his hand, waiting to be called before speaking. "I actually really liked the rain. It felt good, exhilarating, even."

 

[Romi Jade]

​

"Does anybody wanna star--"

"M-may the F-Force," Janos stammered in broken Basic, "being with y-you."

Then he fainted.

She felt the collective wince and the staccato of gasps, but from where she was she couldn't see exactly what happened -- she was in front of the cluster of bodies; she could tell that something was off. Pushing for it, she twisted and slinked her way through to come upon a downed body, a Sullustan.

"Is he alright?" She came to a more slowed pace, walking up on Matsu, Lossa, and Arwen, but a couple of feet back as to not overcrowd them.

Mentally probing to try and see if he was there still and listening for a heartbeat. "He is unconscious."

She didn't need to move him but shifted the area around to prop his head up and focus on displaying an overlay of vitals the scanner in her ears little interface was getting. The AI within good for the KIrano once she could get it measured. "Which way is medical Master Jade?"

"Down, and at the very end of the corridor is where we've stashed all of our med supplies and co." She motioned for it, "Go past the living accommodations. This place isn't a temple, we retrofitted a cave in the style of previous enclave layouts. Do what you can, use what you can. Let PADI know if there's something else needed. Matsu Ike , Lossa Darcuhl ...I'm going to trust you two to tend to him and get him set up. In the meantime, I'll get the rest of these guys going, and wait for any others. I'll circle back to do a proper check in then maybe we can rotate out if needed."

She nodded, "Alright, let's go ahead and start there." She turned and addressed the group, walking back for her previous square.

"That was bit nerve-wracking. It appears as if our friend passed out, could've been exhaustion likely from the hike. Matsu and Lossa will get him some proper medical attention, and with that being said this program is intended to be tough and will push you with no intention of getting easier going forward, but if anyone is feeling like they are on the verge of fainting or feeling unwell, please stop and take a break. This is just training, and you're all here voluntarily. I'd like to send you off in one piece as well."

When the prompt came for their opinions to be shared for the journey, well... he had quite a few complaints. But he didn't know how to respectfully say it without coming across as obnoxious. "For the next training sesh, can we have a luxury planet? Y'know, clean streets, pristine palaces, marble floors... where I wouldn't have to worry about getting my robes all muddy." He's sure that some people felt the same way, they just didn't want to speak up.

"Well that doesn't sound much like training at all." Her head fell forward, and between stray locs was a smirk.

"While our Sullustan friend is being tended to, I wanted to get you guys rolling until we know more. I posed the question earlier on what your observations we're during your hike up, and that was all to get you thinking about personal and environmental awareness. To get you to consider everything your body was going through as it adapted to the climate, but also the weather itself and the obstacles it presented for you -- things that had you make mental pivots."

"It's important as a Jedi you know who and what's around you that could either be used against you or used by you for you own benefit and what your body is telling you in certain instances -- the real lesson here is attention to the moment gives knowledge."

She clapped her hands, "Now, I've gotten you all a little something... Briana Sal-Soren would you give me a hand? That strongbox..." she used a quick jolt of her head in the general direction as an indicator towards a small rectangular plasteel box with latches just parallel to the floor some odd feet away but off to the side. "Could you bring it over?"

"Inside are some trinkets, pendants actually. It's a welcome gift but also a tool for you to use during your training here. They're called Echo Stones"

[Matsu Ike]

Romi Jade

SHe looked at the ones who came over and bowed her head\ while focusing on the padawan. Romi speaking and she was reaching out. Her hand smacking the stone lightly as she listened to the force vibrations going out and mapped it in her mind. Focus shifting to alter the air around and under the sullistan as it formed a bed to carry him and she levitated it slowly. "We'll get him there." She moved and focused the force on the area around him. If it was basic medical supplies they had to work with she could manage it and her robes had the survival kit built in for them. Her belt and thigh pack set up for just about anything one could encounter.

She moved towards the back and listened somewhat to what was being said by the others. She went past the living quarters towards the room indicated and opened the door. The medical equipment was basic enough and she focused on the floor and shifted it with her hand to make a proper bed he would be able to be in. Her hand going to her belt to withdraw from the field kit one fo the healing telchak cubes that she could set down and focus the force into. ANother hand going to her canteen to get the fresh and filtered water while pouring it out with a ration pack he would be able to eat slowly just in case when he started to come to.

More people were coming into the building now and the practicum was filling up a good amount. Some of his attention was taken by Loomi who seemed a little concerned over something inside of her back, or maybe something not inside her bag. Although he wasn’t sure what was wrong.

After which Ko listened intently to Romi’s words as she explained some of her reasons for creating the program and the location for it. Eadu certainly seemed like an odd choice in his eyes. He imagined a more serene and tranquil environment for these sorts of things. But the stormy planet seemed to have a profound impact on the Master’s personal journey as a Jedi. She also asked to hear from those around what they dealt with on the hike up here. Ko was about the reply before another individual came in. An unfamiliar sullustan who collapsed onto the floor about as soon as they came in.

In a moment others in the room went to their aid and made sure they were alright. The young Kel Dor wondered if he should consider himself lucky that the hike didn’t take such a toll on himself. Soon once more his attention was brought back to Romi. Who spoke once more about the importance of environmental awareness. Now Ko raised his hand up some and chimed in. “Well um, During the hike my goggles kept on fogging up. It made it harder for me to see and I kept needing to wipe off the built up condensation. It was a bit of hassle.” The Padawan explained some, and wondered if that was a problem somewhat unique to him here. Sure it was nice not having his eyes pelted with rain drops but that got counterbalanced by the other problem he spoke of. ​

 

[Iris Arani]

People coming here injured, people fainting.

Iris let out a sigh from where she stood within the crowd. The group of Padawan's she'd arrived with had split off during the opening speech to hang around and make friends, hopefully. She wasn't too sure who was doing what at this point, but given the vastness of the Jedi here, that sort of confusion was pretty much mandatory. The only saving grace was the colors. So bright and hopeful.

She closed her eyes, simply watching the colors around her. So many were excited for what was to come next. Iris did peek an eye open at the mention of the Echo Stone, though. Another stone? She snickered, just as a soft boop echoed from her pack. Blinking, she opened it. Just in time to see a little paint covered BD unit hop on out to get onto her shoulder.

"So that's where you've been hiding, Domxite. Think you'll get a stone too?"

A flash of complex emotion dyed the colors of the Force, earning a chuckle from the scarred woman.

"Maybe they'll be a friend."

I posed the question earlier on what your observations we're during your hike up

I thought on this, it was a good question, did I observe much on the way up here? After Ko Vuto gave his answer, one that made a lot of sense coming from a kel'dor, I made a reply of my own. "Wind, snow and more wind, my body is pretty adaptable but wow, flying in that was awful. You said you wanted to challenge us though so..." I gave a grateful smile and a shrug to the older woman. Before she handed out what appeared to be a gift.

I was handed a small whiteish grey crystal on a leather thong that I played with in my hands, it felt strange, like it had an energy of its own, it probably did, most things did. As I twisted it in front of my eyes and looked at the dancing colours my tail began to lazily wag left and right as I warmed up now I was inside. "Thank you Romi Jade , this is very pretty." it was clearly more than a beautiful trinket, but right now it was the rough natural edges of the gem that caught my eye. "Oh, one more observation, its too cold here, I dont like that, it makes me sluggish and like my body isnt my own." I placed the gem around my neck and continued to play with it in my fingers as I listened to the others in the room. When Jedi gathered the sensation was very interesting, I didn't get to be around large groups of force users often, it was kind of fun.

I looked around the room as I warmed myself on a nearby fire, finally beginning to feel chaldean again.

The room became abuzz with a whirlwind of events as a young Padawan suddenly appeared and consequently collapsed to the ground, seemingly overwhelmed by the rigors of the arduous hike and drawing a series of gasps. Concern etched across her features as she instinctively moved to lend a hand, though Master Ike swiftly intervened before she reached him, escorting the fallen Padawan to another room for urgent care.

Slowly, the atmosphere began to settle and Briana redirected her attention back to the center of the room, giving Lily a gentle nudge to pay attention.

However, before she could fully regain her own focus, Caden was there, tugging at her with the hope of reconnecting while Lossa took the opportunity to slip away, evoking an exasperated sigh and an exaggerated eyeroll from Briana.

Before she could adequately address the other Knight, Romi's voice cut through, prompting her to step forward. With a regretful glance towards Caden and a gentle squeeze on his arm in reassurance, she whispered, "We'll talk soon, I promise." Not missing the changes, both physical and those that lingered beneath the surface, that'd transpired in Caden's life since their last interaction.

As directed by Romi, Briana walked towards the mysterious box at the side of the room, feeling the power of the force pulsate as her fingers gingerly wrapped around its edges, instantly attuning to the potent energy housed inside. With the utmost care, she lifted the box from its resting place, cradling it with deliberate regard as she stepped into place beside Romi.

"Inside are some trinkets, pendants actually. It's a welcome gift but also a tool for you to use during your training here. They're called Echo Stones"

With a nod of understand she gingerly removed the lid to reveal the collection of crystalline pendants inside. Each one glimmering with a soft sort of illumination of its own contained energy. With a graceful stride she moved towards the expectant crowd, distributing them out one by one.

 

[Andromeda Demir]

​

Pausing in the drizzle outside the entrance, Andromeda pulled her poncho off, shook it vigorously to remove the rain, and then followed her classmates into the structure. The heady scent of incense, earthy and pleasant, lingered there. It helped Andy relax as she edged closer in after the others. She felt like an outsider among the others at the Jedi Temple, surrounded by the prestige and technology of millenia of advanced civilizations. But Andromeda knew about stone and earth and weather. She was, if not at home, at least not on edge. The sensation tugged at the knots of tension in her shoulders and neck and gut.

She quickly changed her shoes, tucking her muddy boots into a cubby and replacing them with a pair of simple clean soft boots. She hung her poncho on a hook, hoping the little remaining moisture wouldn't prove too much of a nuisance. Then, she returned to join the others.

There was a commotion ahead, some sort of problem with another of the students that she was too far back to see until the Jedi lifted him. Andromeda did her best not to recoil. Some aliens were more frightening than others to her ignorant eyes, and Sullustans, with their odd facial flaps and unfathomable, shining black eyes triggered some sort of genetic memory in her, an instinctive fear of deep water and the shiny clack of beetle wings. I was embarrassing, to be sure, and she was deeply ashamed of this unfounded fear, this undeserved prejudice.

The first step, she had been told, was acknowledging. Then she had to unlearn it.

She watched them take the Sullustan student away, and her attention turned back to the presentation.

Andromeda didn't know much about the history of the Jedi Order, and her grasp of current events was tenuous at best, but she knew enough to recognize when she was in the presence of a legend. Romi Jade , in the flesh, offering her years of experience and insights into the training of Jedi; it was enough to send a tingle of anticipation down Andy's spine. Her pulse quickened as she stood on her toes to watch. Andy was not inclined to contribute to the discussion on the hike, mostly because she had nothing against which to compare it, but she internally catalogued herself. Subtle aches in her muscles that had been used to climb up and across craggy rocks, to stabilize her on uneven grounds. An abrasion and bruise on her palm where she had broken a fall. A certain thinness to the air, a slight throbbing at her temples.

From the altitude, Andy slowly realized.

Her considerations were interrupted when the box of crystals was offered to her. Andy's eyes darted up to Briana Sal-Soren and, after a sheepish smile she murmured a painfully introverted "Thank you" before averting her gaze and taking one of the crystals. She cradled the cool stone in her left hand, and studied it, running the index finger of her right hand along the surface. Intricate carvings crisscrossed the milky white surface. Simply touching it seemed to enhance her experience somehow. Her breath caught as she inhaled deeply, calling on the Force. It felt freer, more refreshing. Her dark eyes closed and she sighed softly, the sigh of a woman refreshed and re-energized.

​

 

[Joland Graves]

@Everyone, ya'll get notifications anyway

Did the Jedi have life insurance? They had to have some kind of accidental death and dismemberment plan, right?

Joland watched as the collapsed Sullustan was carted off. If this was just the beginning, he expected to see a lot more of that. Though they were Jedi and this way of life came with extreme risk, some of these padawans were also children. He had faith in the Force, and trust in his peers, but he believed in lawyers, too.

Either way, if they couldn't hack it here then they weren't destined for this life. The ServiceCorp should probably have some recruiters here.

Joland took the echo stone in his hands. Without consent, the crystal began sharing its immense power. He felt a surge of energy pour through him. The swell of sensation was overwhelming, some feelings familiar but heightened, and others entirely new. A tingle threatened to vibrate his whole body. Ripples of the Force flowed out like waves.

"Holy chit."

The young padawan felt rejuvinated, awakened, and ready for anything.

Even a boring ass meeting with lawyers.

Taking no more than a few steps as Romi examined the padawan, she heard her name called. She stared blankly, the drip of water from her Poncho the only sound before she frowned.

"I-there are... " She didn't argue, throwing the Poncho to the side to hurriedly follow behind Matsu. "On it."

The other Jedi was already floating the padawan down the hall when she turned around. Pace at a half skip to catch up with a frown plastered across her face. Wondering if it was just the wind outside she was hearing.

When Matsu got the padawan settled into a cot, Lossa blew out a breath and spoke up.

"So. I don't have much experience with uh. With healing. Using the force I mean. Or otherwise actually. I'll do my best but... " Trailing off as she awkwardly patted her hands together and swayed a little, watching the woman work.

Master Romi seemed to handle the situation with the student collapsing, sending them to receive medical care. It seemed that Lossa was charged to join Master Ike. Lily watched them leave, wishing in her thoughts that the student recovered swiftly and could join them in training as soon as possible. To make the hike but not receive the training, it would be a cruel fate that Lily did not want anyone to suffer. She then listened as Master Romi instructed her Master to proceed with the next step of their training.

An offering to help them. It was something interesting and Lily was curious to see what would be offered.

Following her Master, she noted the necklaces and the stones that dangled from them. She did not considered them especially stylish or something that she would wear to a gala or social events, her appearance always had to be representing her nobility background and not the Jedi customs. However, she gratefully took the stone and observed it, the stone seemed to be connected to the Force since her mind felt a tingle that she was learning was the Force echoing from another being or object. Lily was surprised there were stones and non-organic objects that could reflect the Force, especially to this level.

"Thank you Master." Lily bowed her head grateful for the gift. She then stood aside to allow the next person to receive a stone necklace themselves.

When Janos collapsed, a few of the Jedi instinctively rushed to his side. Drenched and confused by new surroundings, it took his charhound companion some time to process. Slowly Flint started to growl in displeasure. A burnt orange glow radiated from the domesticated animal's gullet. It breathed a quick warning blast of fire at the healers.

"Is okay Flint," Janos babbled in sullustese as he slowly came back around.

Pure black eyes blinked at blurry outlines leaning over him in concern.

"Hello new Jedi friends," he said this in much slower basic, "My name is being Janos."

The confused and hypothermic sullustan padawan tried to sit up but was still clearly too lightheaded. It dawned on him that he was floating off the ground.

"Master Jade?" he asked Matsu.

Romi Jade Janos Sovv Lossa Darcuhl

She bowed to the padawan who was here to help her and spoke motioning with a hand for her. "Alright, a crash coarse is to clear your mind and call the force to your hands... feel it in your body as you inhale and spread it throughout your body from the center of your being. Allow it to stretch out and come to the one you are healing... feel them in the force and their cells as you encourage repair and the body to operate itself normally." She said it with a look at her of nothing... she wasn't expecting her to master it but she wasn't going to judge how much she could do. This was a good training chance as she heard the man stir and looked down at him.

Janos... his name was Janos. "I am Master Ike, Master Jade is like twice my height... and size." The petite jedi master might be smaller then most in a room but she worked to make up for it. "You made it to the gathering and collapsed." She said it and looked at the padawan with a look. "This is Jedi Darcuhl one of your fellow padawans." She was looking at him and kept the scanner going when she was looking him over. "We have you in medical for now and are checking you over. Now lay back and relax while we do this. We need to be able to check you over as it is only going to get more strenuous from here on out... Master Jade likes to break you down and turn her students into a cohesive unit."

 

[Romi Jade]

​

"Thanks Bri -- these pendants are made with rare crystals from the Planet Spintir. They have the unique ability to form a link with their wearer through the Force, and will only ever bond to that one person. As you grow in the Force, so will the crystal. It'll acquire its own unique color, character, and strength from you and your own relationship with the Force. Consider it a gift and a tool."

She retrieved the strongbox from Bri, letting her take her own. She heard a few others toss out their own observations as she knelt and re-latched the hinges. "Heard a few things..." she popped back up, "We've got rain, fog and condensation, and snow, wind, and the cold..." She pointed in all of the directions of those voices.

"The rain can be good, especially tactically. It can be beneficial to providing cover, as the regular eye can only travel so far under a heavy pour. Places like Eadu and Jabiim are heavily heavily engulfed in the rain...with Jabiim having an hour or less of reprieve between downpours if at all. As an environmental occurrence it can either be used against you or to your advantage." She shifted, pacing mostly in place before setting off.

"Oh yeah, It's cold, and the rain and snow doesn't help. Low temperatures stress the body, and then the body immediately starts constriction so that you lose as little heat as possible. That's when those shivers start. It'll drastically affect your performance, but the good news is that the body will adapt to the cold; it'll just be a slow adaption. So you've gotta move quick, and preserve what energy you can. Large spending can cost you in the long run."

She hit a pivot.

"The fog is a good one. So Kel Dor wear masks to filter the air due to oxygen poison, and goggles to protect their eye fluids from essentially drying out, no?" She looked to Ko Vuto for confirmation. "Here's a situation where the environment is working against you biologically, but on the flip side, if I were trying to get the drop on you, luring you to a place like this would be perfect for me as I know the circumstances would be in my favor due to the effects on your mask and goggles."

A beat

"And that's really what environmental training exercises are, it's to get you thinking of your environment tactically, recalling everything instantly, and recognizing the advantage or disadvantage of your surroundings for you. Eadu is not the best place to wage a marathon saber fight, the unpredictable weather, from the rain to the cold is terrible for long drawn out fights."

"Here, you'd have to come up with a plan to end things quickly and decisively because you know your body is going to take longer to adapt. Taking advantage of the rain for cover, leading your opponent into heavy fog to obscure their vision, knowing the air is thinner at higher altitudes...how does this affect your opponent, and how does it affect you? Whereas Tatooine, and Felucia, are completely different scenarios. Environmental awareness training is asking yourself a lot of questions as soon as you step foot wherever you are, and taking mental notes because it could mean life or death. I just wanted you all to start thinking about those things, you're going to find yourself in a lot of crazy places in your career, and you've gotta be prepared for anything."

She started to move backwards, taking a few giant steps to put space between her and the group and find herself somewhere in the center.

"Moving on, now that you've got your pendants, and we've talked about harsh environments and their pros and cons, we're going to move into progressive muscle relaxation techniques, and diaphragmatic breathing exercises. Things that can help center you in high stress scenarios. Everyone spread out...find a spot." She motioned with her arms, stretching and contracting to get the group to move around.

"These techniques will help you bond with you crystal, and be ready for the combat portion tomorrow."

The bow was met with a quick and awkward return bow. The Master being one of few beings in the galaxy Lossa had come across being shorter than herself. A fact that was short lived as the woman explained her goal.

A swift nod as Lossa began to center and focus, even with the slight shiver in her limbs as the temple air fought with the cold that clung to her.

Barely even getting the chance to practice, the Sullustan came around, throwing her for a loop as she gazed at her own hands. Janos trying to rise as Lossa placed a hand over him to keep him on the air gurney.

Which didn't help her to focus given the lack of a solid object under the padawan to explain his hanging in the air.

"Easy. You passed out on a hard floor. I wouldn't suggest sleeping but, definitely don't get up yet." A humored tone as she sighed. "But good to see the lights are on Janos. Lossa."

Getting her name out of the way and keeping his in mind, she tried once more.

The strange sense of gathering the force despite how she felt was new. And the news of Romi's method of training was certainly nothing new. More expected given the trek here and her own singular experience with the Master.

Without much thought focused to it, she channeled the force, finding taxed cells and stirring them to heal and rejuvenate beneath her attention. Or rather lack of. As she'd found with Tiland's lesson on Dagobah, she had a much easier time with allowing the force to work through her than trying to apply it.

Her eyes never quite shut as she examined Janos.

"On the plus side. You made it. I'd give your entry a six out of ten. But I think theatrics comes with experience." Still trying to inject humor into the air as she smiled and half focused, the force still channeling and trying to aid him as best it could.

 

[Joland Graves]

@ALL

Joland listened to Master Jade as her words began to be immediately confirmed. An invisible string of energy seemed to connect him to the crystal. The ethereal bonds slowly strengthed as the Force weaved itself between them.

The initial intensity of the pendant's energy reached an equilibrium, as the padawan's senses adjusted. Like his body adapting to the cold. Speaking of which, Master Jade's explanation of environmental awareness was a quick lesson learned. His lack of experience with extreme weather and the bruality he faced during the ascent made her words particularly poignant. It made him almost appreciate the hike. Almost.

Joland found a comfortable spot and stretched his body out. His hormonal stress response was finally subsiding. Clarity returned as he focused on his crystal and awaited further instruction.

"Way too cold" I muttered to myself as Romi Jade began a brief lecture into the environmental challenges we might face. I was feeling warm again now and I felt my chaldean blood running through my veins and could feel my cell structure better again. It was hard to describe just how complex being a shape changer was and how tiring it could be in the wrong circumstances.

I followed the lead of the Jedi Master and found a place where I could no longer reach my peers with an outstretched arm. I rolled my shoulders back and my back made a clicking noise before I got myself into a chaldean yoga pose to help me relax. "High altitudes are no joke, I blacked out once while trying to get close to a sub-orbital purgill" I added to the conversation. I remembered that, I dont like space craft and was curious about these space faring creatures. But they don't go below a hundred thousand metres and even Shriek-hawks couldn't fly as high as that. I was lucky to survive that day. A little shudder went down my spine but I breathed to recentre myself, watching the various movements of the other Jedi.

A few grins went round, myself included when Master Jade mentioned combat, combat was fun. But I did worry about how hard it might be in these conditions, Jedi also liked their plasma blades and was not familiar with, not inclined to use them. I was fairly competent with the blades the wookies gave me thought.

"On the plus side. You made it. I'd give your entry a six out of ten. But I think theatrics comes with experience."

That made me laugh, it was good to have some kind of relaxed demeanor while doing all this, and the pink girl I had seen on the mountain side seemed pretty chilled out.

Standing to the side of the group, he attentively listened to Romi, the Jedi Master who had organized the trip for everyone in attendance. He agreed with each point she made regarding the observations and how each individual obstacle the participants encountered on their hike to the summit could be used to their advantage in certain situations. While he was already familiar with some of the positives of this, he was pleased the knowledge was being passed to the younger Jedi who may have been overwhelmed by the challenging conditions they faced during the ascent.

After the short speech, he followed the directions provided by Romi and gracefully maneuvered around the room to secure a spot of his own. Once settled, he put himself into a comfortable position, crossing his legs over one another and adjusting his posture to ensure his spine was straight. This meditation pose had been ingrained in him since his initiation, as he was educated that it would further strengthen a connection with the Force, along with other useful benefits the practice of meditation brought.

His eyes closed, and he quickly shut out the sounds of shuffling feet and the ambient noise that filled the room. Immersed in a state of tranquillity, he created a shield against the distractions that would have easily prevented him from concentrating if he was not in his own world. His calloused palms pressed against the pendant that was hanging from his neck, allowing the energy that emitted from the stone to further attach to him.

He sat in this state, waiting on further instructions to be provided.
