Pond, Lily's Farm

"You're welcome." said Greystar. "I hope he's able to resolve his issues without making the same mistake I did. He's in such chaos right now." He listened to what Boskor asked about visiting the Temple. "I don't know. I guess I'll have to find out when I get there."

"Certainly." said Greystar, handing the white lightsaber to Rai. "I just made both this and another, from two crystals my master Gray gave me."

He took out the red one and handled it carefully. "The Force is teaching me to use both, and both have very different ways to use them."

Rai in return handed Greystar his own lightsabers "Made those last night it was an experience Boskor could attest to that." Rai's lightsabers weren't exactly the kind a Jedi would use they were more militant. Functional but balanced and weighted with an extra vibro-blade on one and a skull-tap on the other. They were designed to complement one another both with silver blades and when activated they had a background hum that reminded one of the rumble of a well tuned muscle car.

"Might not be what you're used to working with." Rai mentioned as he examined Greystar's pair noting that they were balanced differently than his.

"Man now I don't feel so bad about not knowing the particulars of this temple trip." he said watching Rai examine Greystar light sabers It sounded to him they were excited about this trip as much as he. His feet felt better now he let them dry on the grass. He knew there would always be pride in a Jedi who made functional light sabers many considered it a right of passage. Had to admit he had felt delight in making his as well.

The pond being good size and he spotted ducks swimming on the far side aware of them, but not disturbed by their presence. He looked at Greystar as Rai handed back his light sabers. "Greystar I'm curious as to what it means to be a greywalker. I know this is personal, but I kind of picture you as a Jedi sitting with one leg on each side of the fence. Or is it more like standing on top of the fence waiting to see which side is out of balance before rallying to the cause whichever that might be. I assure it is not a criticism of you personally so please don't take it that way. May be I am out of line for even asking. You see you and Grey are the only two I have ever met that have that particular outlook on the force. Truly I am trying to understand." He said putting his socks back on then his soft leather boots.

Greystar also examined Rai's lightsabers. "Very good! They're made for you as mine are made for me. Yours are made for each other, and mine are opposites. One I doubt if I'll be able to use in my lifetime, but I'm learning to use it anyway, just in case."

He listened to Boskor and grinned. "It is no problem." he said. "My experience led me to be a grewalker, even before I met Gray. It was my brush with the dark side when in the temple that actually helped me even when it hurt me. I had insight into where it was going. Now I as you say, stand above both sides of the force, and see both as necessary parts to preserve life.

It's like those ducks out in the pond. They represent the light side, and they have life. The hawk circling above is a predator, and represents the dark side. And yet, even when it destroys, it preserves life by removing the weak and infirm, allowing the others to live.

Both are necessary parts of the Force. It is greys like me that are called upon to maintain balance in the Force. Right now, the Force is unbalanced towards the dark side." He ignited the red lightsaber. "So I rally to the side of the light, to help it survive, even using the weapons of the dark side against itself. If it was in the opposite way, I'd be helping the Sith to bring balance. He then extinguished the red and brought out the white. But neither has a hold on me, and I stand on the fence as you say, or on the central pillar of the Force. I hope that makes it clearer on the path I have chosen."

He laughed, and said "It is strange. Jedi are often taught to fear the dark side, and they don't realize by doing so, they play into its hands, so to speak. I don't fear it anymore, but I have a healthy respect for it. Sort of like fire, used rightly it warms and protects. Used wrongly, it destroys all you hold dear. And yet, I have seen the same when the light side is gone to excess. The reason we're in the trouble we're in right now is we've been too rigid, not moving with the Force as the Sith have for over a thousand years, and so have been left behind by the Force. That's why the Jedi were so easily manipulated in the clone war, maneuvered so whatever they do, it goes wrong. That's what we need to correct before balance can be brought to the Force once again."

Roof of the Barn
Syndar

Syndar had left early morning to go on a run, he was getting restless he wished to move forward and accomplish something. Normally the Vurk would be easy going, and just go with the flow, today though... he felt that something was going to happen. The others were talking with each other, about light sabers and other force things. He though, didn't feel like it at the moment. He had noticed Faaral had gone up on the roof of the barn, Rai had gone up to speak to her briefly then left.

Syndar decided that he'd test his prowess and make his way up there as well. It didn't take long for him to get up there. using the roof of the chicken coop, to the beam that jutted out which had a pulley attached to it, then up to the roof.

"Hey, thought I'd come up and say hello to you. And apologize for not being the chatty sort." giving a wry smile. "Guess I am too prone to just sit back and observe? Or as my master had once said, just too laid back. Tell me about yourself, and where you came from. If you don't mind my asking."

At the pond with Greystar and Rai

"I appreciate your insight Greystar. Your like the big bad sheriff that keeps order in town. My master had experiences with the dark side many times throughout his life. He never spoke of it harshly although those episodes in his life certainly defined him as a Jedi Master.
My training has been educational primarily in Jedi History and other subjects that I lacked missing a formal education while on Ylesia and on the Pirate's secret base. My understanding of the beginning of Jedi history is that they embraced both the light and dark sides of the force. That it wasn't until interaction of the Sith in Jedi ways that beliefs became corrupted." He said then turning to Rai.

"I know you talked to Faaral on the roof of the barn. She is one I detest for her deceit, arrogance and how she plays the group in deception. Greystar it is not the dark side she embraces that bothers me it is attitude and temperament toward others. This I will say in all seriousness there will always be for each one of us, someone more powerful, more experienced in the force white or dark that can destroy us. Greystar you mentioned the hawk and how it cleanses the weak and infirm. Nature is a great teacher even a badger left alone in a chicken house will kill every bird just for the sake of the kill. In my mind Anakin had no justification in the cleansing of the temple. The children weren't infirm or weak, those younglings many fought bravely trying to defend their comrades from slaughter. Anakin may have been following orders, but he was more like the badger who simply did it for the kill. I know we are not to judge for even with the powers of the force I cannot read the mind of another" He said, once more looking out at the beauty and serenity of the pond.

He calmed himself he remembered how the priest treated the children. Those who should have protected them shun their duty for their carnal hearts ruled them. Even his mother had opted to become a sex slave to merely save her children from abuses. His mother had fought the only way she knew how and it had kept a young fourteen year old handsome boy from become a sex slave himself. No life had choices and choices required thought. It had been the embracing of peace, tranquility and selfless love that endeared him to the light side of the force. For himself he was convinced that would never change in him. His master had helped him set the foundation and he would stand firm upon it.

Greystar listened to what Boskor was saying, and nodded.

"What you have seen in Faaral, or Darth Rade as she really is, is basically how a Sith operates. My master Gray wasa Sith for many years, until he found out that the Sith were telling half-truths, just as the Jedi were. There seems to be deeper issues there that I cannot fathom, and probably are none of my business. Right now, she is no danger to us, as she's watching and waiting, and really we have a common enemy, the Emperor and Darth Vader. It's only later, when she has no longer any use for us that we'll need to watch our backs, and will become a danger."

He took a deep breath. "And I was there when Anakin was killing my friends. I saw him killing younglings. His greater evil was not what he was doing there, but what he was doing to all of us who survived. You wouldn't have liked me back then, and I was REALLY angry. I was breaking and throwing things with the Force, and was becoming him. And for a short time, I was Darth Lahore.

But what had really made me angry was something I didn't think of until later. It was the feelings coming from him. It was like he was not killing for killing's sake, but in his eyes, he was doing something good. Eliminating a threat to the Republic. That's the feelings that were coming from him, and it was reflected in the Emperor's speech afterwards. Of a Jedi betrayal and assasination atttempt. His twisted words were so chilling in that he actually believed them. It was reflected in what Anakin was doing, and of course, he ultimately failed. And we are the proof of that. The Force would not let either side be totally exterminated. The Jedi will return."

He thought a moment of the vision he had of a future, where another brought him back. Son? Did he really have a son? It was incredible.

"And you're right. They weren't weak or infirm, but they were the result of a catastrophic error the Jedi were committing. They know it now, they're with me in the Force, speaking with me. Of stagnation, of arrogance, of fighting old wars and not seeing the war right under their noses. That's what we need to figure out. A totally new Jedi Order, learning from the old mistakes and correcting them. Catching up with the Force that has left us behind."

Myrfen still at the pond

"Perhaps Greystar your insights are greater than mine as to Anakin or Lord Vader's demeanor when he struck the temple. Lord Rade will bear watching for sure and in time may proof to be Jedi to deal with in the future. I am only a lowly Padawan to speak of such things. I seen too many injustices in my young lifetime." picking up three flat stones and skipping them through the water.

He looked at Rai and Greystar and smiled.

"There is so much for me to learn and without a Jedi Master to lead me I honestly feel lost to my total purpose in my place with this group. You speak Greystar as if a new republic will form from out of the Jedi so what will my place be in this new order is yet to be seen. My piloting skills are a benefit to the group as is the Loomis Quest. My mind is not clear as to if we will ever find a safe haven in my lifetime. Already left behind my family what is left of it. I dare not contact them for doing so could possibly put them in danger. So they are lost to me. Greystar or Rai do either of you have an understanding what Master Star is trying to accomplish with the group long-term other than keep us from harm? Stepping further from the water.

Greystar suddenly sat down and clasped his knees. "And yet...there's still a part of me that is always protesting, 'I'm just a kid!' and I'm already talking as if I was a Master. I just had to grow up far too fast. That's what Anakin has robbed me of. My childhood. I can never go back to what I was before all this happened. Dobby right now is the only sane part in my crazy life.

But the Force is driving me on. I look old, and at times I feel old." He rested his head on his knees, looking at the pond.

Still at the pond

"Yes Greystar you are just kid, but you have also acquired some wisdom and knowledge that other children never will. Some of us are fortunate to have some childhood and treasuring those memories comfort me perhaps there are a few that can comfort you. Life may force us to grow up and take on adult responsibilities even before we are really ready. Anakin and the Emperor have robbed many of such precious memories. Just as the Empire robbed me of my father. However,if not them then some other force would have done the same thing. I don't believe in chance things happening in our life. It is how we respond to them that matters most." Boskor moved over to the Chikar and placed his hand on the youth's head and gentle stroked it.

"You are a brave youth and a positive influence to your friends Greystar, Dobby needs your influence don't forget the good you play in life. Please forgive me for setting the mood of our conversations in such an adult way. I have asked questions that only a person can speculate on. That has not been fair to either Rai or you. Perhaps Mira sees this temple trip as a way to ease tensions and provide a healing balm that all of us can use. Regardless the diversion, what occurs will bring us closer as a group and hopefully as friends. Greystar if there is a time you wish to talk, I'm your friend and I promise to shut up and just listen to what you have to say." He stepped back hoping stroking the youth's head had not upset him only meaning to comfort him.

Greystar wasn't offended at all by Boskor stroking his head. In fact, that was precisely what he wanted.

He jumped up and wrapped his arms around Boskor, tears flowing down his face. It was a necessary release for him, something that had been pent up for some time. "Thank you, Boskor, thank you, thank you." he said. For a brief moment, he was that youngling again, the youngling that had been buried when all this happened.

"And if I am to leave the child behind and become what I'm destined to be, so be it. I'll probably become the youngest master, and the smallest, unless Yoda is still alive. I know he always pounded into my head the fact that size matters not. I do hope Mira comes here soon so we can go on that temple trip. I need it as much as anybody." He grinned through his tears. "And thank you for your offer. I'm going to take you up on it sometimes."

Rai chuckled and shook his head "Yall are fine. But really should a Jedi be dwelling on their past like that?" It was true that he was no Jedi but he did know a thing or from being exposed to the dogmas floating around here and there through out the farm. "Yall need to come to my world some time. I think my people could show you guys a thing or two." Rai shrugged he really didn't know how to deal with others emotions he just knew how to focus his own in a fight. But than he saw almost every thing as some sort of fight education, combat, girls all took determination, strategy and confidence.

Boskor embraced the hug feeling he needed it as much as the youngling. It warmed his heart that the young Chikar could act like a child again even if only momentarily. He watched Rai as the embraced last for awhile as Greystar let the tears flow.

The comments Rai had made did not upset him. Showing of emotions naturally released didn't bother him after growing up with two younger sisters he had become used to such outburst.

"You know if Mira won't come to us why don't we go to her? After all she has to be on the farm somewhere." putting an arm around Greystar and looking at Rai. He motioned to the direction of the house and barn and began leading them.

"Yes, you do have a thing or two to teach us, Rai." said Greystar, releasing his hold on Boskor. "And it's really healthy to release pent-up emotions. I am neither Jedi nor Sith, but a little of both." He grinned. "Even if I was a Jedi, I still couldn't shut off my feelings like a droid, nor should I."

Rai was a mystery to him. He didn't know just what he was or what had drawn him here. He had become thoughtful again as he let Boskor lead him back to the house. He started searching through the force, trying to find Mira, his absentee master. She would be pleased that he had finally been able to construct his lightsabers, he thought.

"No were not droids Greystar and thank goodness for that. Emotions are healthy and nothing to be ashamed of at all. Size doesn't matter watch this I'll use only my finger in touching the force." he said, moving his index finger pointing toward a boulder slightly larger than a bowling ball flinging it in the air toward a large tree while drawing his blaster hitting the rock before hit the tree causing it to splinter in pieces.

"All styles of combat, informative and useful to a Jedi or non Jedi. Actually learning sword play from the pirates made learning saber techniques easier. Surprising using a foil with speed and agility can make up for physical strength one may lack. So yes Rai I look forward to you teach us things that will benefit us in combative situations."

Boskor stared at the house remembering his stuff already at the barn. He could varying things from the force as he allowed it to intermingle with members of the group. Rai still looked somewhat confused. Emotions just probably weren't his thing he wondered how they mated if they didn't feel. Something to do with nature was his guess as he smiled at Rai.

Rai smiled "On my world from the time children are four Coruscantie years old they get put into an education program which concentrates evenly combat, artisan-ship and the three R's. Since I was four years old I have been training in combat, Zabrak and Echani Martial arts not to mention fringe stuff from the Mandalorian members of the community. By the time I was old enough to wear adult armor I started performing mercenary serveries for the colony in actual combat situations hell my best friend, girlfriend and I were part of major op for your General Kota. In short I have dedicated almost my entire life to the study and practice of combat in multiple forms and my old Kensai is even more well trained."

Yeah Rai was proud and a bragger but you know what he earned it with his duals with General Kael and with his dual on Coruscant with dark Jedi that were also raiding the temple.

"Very interesting, Rai. I would be honored to learn your combat skills. It could be useful." said Greystar. He smiled at what Boskor did. "I don't have a blaster, but would this do?"

He used the force to raise another stone, throwing it, and then shot Force lightning at it, shattering it. "It's something not anybody can or should do, as it's a dark side skill, and would consume any not ready or rushing into it. I learned it a while ago how to do it without letting it take me."

Rai gritted his teeth at the use of force lightning and asked "Do you know how much that stuff stings?" He remembered the last few times he encountered the business end of force lightning. "You and I are going to have to have a talk in the future." There was definitely gears turning in Rai's head but he kind of kept what he was thinking to him self for the moment.

As for the rocks being moved by the force and then subsequently destroyed Rai mentioned "Yeah you don't want me to show off like that. It could end in disaster." He chuckled but Boskor probably had an idea of what Rai was talking about.

Boskor chuckled when Greystar used force lightening to destroy the rock. When this youngling grows up he would be somebody not to get angry. He had no doubt that Rai could show them up if he put his mind to it.

He wondered if the two missed what he tried to express in throwing the rock in the first place. Using very little force had been the point. From his experience with Rai he knew that the man put a lot of force into what he did. Yoda's famous remark really did make sense. "Size matter not…." To him it was not how much force you used , but how you used it.

His two friends were good and now that he knew them better, happy to associate with them. He rubbed Greystar's head and turned to them.

"Look my friends, I'm going over to the barn my things are there and just relax. If Mira wants me she will find me there meditating. It will be a good use of my time. He thought now better of finding Mira. The Jedi master knew what she wanted and if by some chance she needed to speak to him or the others she would. Slowly leaving the other two to follow him if they wished.

Boskor sat on the hay bale and put himself in deep meditation. His mind went back when they hand landed on Mon Calamari and Nuana and him were heading to find the group. He concentrated on looking over the city at that time the ocean, seagulls and cool breeze had caught his attention. A woman around 5' 8" he guess had looked at him as the two had walked toward the restaurant. Fiery red hair cut short, styled with bangs a white cotton sun dress covered her slender body that showed her tan legs. Maybe it had been the fact that she been human caught his eyes at the precise moment when Nuana had broke his concentration telling him to follow. The sincere smile and look she had given him surprised him. Had it been because of the youngling or could it be something else? Somehow this whole episode had been captured and now somehow wanted to be remembered.

Had she been on Corellia? Could she be a bounty hunter and followed them there? The thing he felt had been a sense of peace, Nothing that had alerted him of any danger, but he couldn't get out of his mind that he had seen the woman before. Why this scene now?

He had cleared his mind when he had gone into his deep mediation stance. Though he felt the force around him alive and vibrant with others his mind had paid them little attention. The scene had passed for now and he rested in a relaxing state.

Trystor watched as the others left shortly after Rai did. He took there messages to heart but he was still uncertain on what to do or what was going on with him. If he was that much in danger or a threat of falling into the dark side.

He got back up off the dock put his socks and boots back on and headed to the farm house again to finish off what he started in the kitchen and then speak with Mira for more guidance and clarification before he decides what to do. He let out a sigh of uncertainty as he felt being watch. he looked around to see nothing as he continued on back to the farm.

He walked up the steps of the porch area and entered the house. As he walked through the house it was pretty quiet . as he walked into the dining room he saw several people still eating. "Has anyone seen Mira this morning?" Trystor finally spoke up and asked the room.

****************

"apparently not!" he said to himself as he turned and left the farm house. Feeling a bit trapped and not finding the answers he sought. He went by others and asked if they saw Mira? Most said nothing or ignored him.

He decided to go pack what he had out of his stuff. Then returned to the house Hoping Lily might know where she was? "Lily You here?" as he came back into the kitchen hoping she was there.

He awoke looking at the sun approaching mid-day. The meditation had been relaxing despite the reliving the real life episode. Calling out Rai's name wondering if he might be hanging around. Now that it was later in the day he thought about heading to the kitchen to make a sandwich.

Boskor had no idea what was going on as far as the temple trip and doubted that the others knew more than he. Pounding his fist into the wall of the barn it unsettled him. His master had known the value of time and seldom wasted any using it. If Mira had in mind teaching patience she had lost it on the Padawan.

He looked at the bloody knuckles and the wall of the barn. Rai would like what he had done punching hard enough to poke a hole through the wall. Well now he had no choice but to get to the house and tend to his hand. So that decided he headed that way.

Tag Trystor or any others at the house.

Trystor was not getting anywhere he could not find Lily or Mira. He was going to leave as he saw Boskor come in holding a bloody hand. "Whats wrong What happened?" as he came over closer to him. "Need a hand?" Trystor was not trying to be funny. but it could be a joke at an another time.

"come over to the sink we can was the injury and then i will help bandage the hand up." Trystor said calmly "unless you rather do it your self. I know at times independence is important." He waited for the reply from him.

"Thanks any help would be appreciated Troy. Only have myself to blame, put my darn fist through the barn wall. I'm frustrated I haven't seen Lilly, Mira or anyone who seems to know what is going on with this temple trip. If I had known this I stayed at my ship longer instead of running back to get here early this morning."

He walked over to the sink and started running cold water over the hand. The damage wasn't as bad as it had looked. Still the whole thing had smarted just because he lost patience over something as silly as this temple trip. Sure he wanted to be active, doing something. However putting his fist through the wall of the barn certainly wasn't the answer.

Letting Trystor thoroughly wash the wound with antiseptic then spraying a liquid bandage compound upon it sealing it from further contamination. The hand smarted, but it hadn't been his pistol hand and he should still able to handle his light saber if needed to do so.

"Thanks, where is everybody anyway? I know this is suppose to be sort of a vacation for Master Star. That lady sure knows how to be elusive and secretive at the same time. Confound my temper I usually have better control of it." He said, shaking his head as he reached for a coffee cup.

Poured himself a cup and looked at Trystor motioning with the pot as if the man would like some as he sat down at the kitchen table.

Greystar came in, sat down and sighed. "I've been looking for Mira. I can't find her, not even with the Force. She seems to be masking herself away for some reason. And she said we're to visit that temple. I wonder why she's disappeared like this."

Boskor nodded as he sat down offering the pot of coffee to him. "Yes, no doubt she is masking herself from our ability to sense her. I suppose the ways of a Jedi Master might seem disturbing to us, but I doubt she is doing this to hurt us in any way. I can only believe she needed this time to herself for a reason."

He looked at the disappointed Greystar. At least he wasn't alone in his feelings. if this was how Mira operated then it would be sometime before she would probably allow him to take the trials. It didn't matter when he got to the trials just that he eventually got the opportunity to prove himself worthy to be a Jedi Knight.

"Trystor why don't you sit down and join us. It looks like we are going no where fast, but in the end does it really matter? I have succored my anger and promise no more outbreaks. Maybe a sandwich and coffee will calm our nerves that is if your hungry.

He rose and started to gather the makings of a sandwich. "Any one care for one?"

Trystor looked a little take back the last person that called him troy was his great grandmother. But he dismissed it as a slip from boskor as he dealt with his wounds.

Shortly there after Boskor asked about Mira and Greystar asked the same thing as he entered the kitchen. "are we looking for the same person or what? I have been looking for her since the incident with Rai at the pond. Plus I could not find Lily either? I wonder if there is something wrong?" As he took a seat while he asked them the off beat question.

"A sandwich sounds like a plan. Maybe we all can work together to work out the anger issues?" Trystor commented to both of them.

"Yes, a sandwich would be great." said Greystar. "Yes, Lily can't be found, and neither can Dobby. Maybe it's all for a reason." He looked up at Boskor. "And maybe we could do a little sparring afterwards. I need to try out my new lightsabers." And looking to Trystor, "Yes, we could do that as well."

Boskor made three sandwiches and refilled his cup handing a plate to Greystar then one to Trystor. "A little sparring sounds good I've been lack in that department lately, usually used droids. Didn't bring any from the ship this time." sitting down with the others and started to eat his sandwich.

"Certainly the Jedi Master would want us to use this time to our advantage. I really hope Mira... will teach me different styles. My previous master seemed to believe in defense and so he taught me that in one style. I suppose he planned to teach me offensive maneuvers within that style. He really tended to be against aggressive behavior. Believed most battles could be won diplomatically. Don't get me wrong I have no doubt he could be a fierce warrior when forced to do so." continuing to work on the sandwich and coffee.

"Truly I am looking forward to learning from Rai. There so much I need to learn. I can't help it, sometimes all of this overwhelms me. I learn fast, but sometimes I am just pigheaded. If I would only listen better then I would probably do better. I must sound like a loser to you two." looking at his bandaged hand.

Trystor listened to Boskor talk while he ate on his sandwich that boskor made them. "I would like to talk to Mira before i make any decisions on my future possible path.

Especially the The final demand that i got from Rai." Feeling more lost then ever. "Plus I have not much training in defensive and or offenceive training other then fighting with my blaster."

"And no i don't believe your not a loser. Your just trying to find your way especially when your master could not finish the training with you." Trystor said quickly to Boskor.

"I May have lived and worked at the temple. But I was tested before and there was no sign of me being force sensitive. Now after the explosion and near death that i dare to come again. I am now force sensitive." He sighed he was truely irritated with this situation.

"Rai being rai and the lack of understanding on his part to understand whats going on with me."Trystor's anger was building up again as he slammed his fist on the table hard enough to make the dishes rattle. "I'm sorry!" as he placed his head down and covered his head and closed his eyes.

Thanks Trystor perhaps each of us are going through some real tests of our character. Need not apologize to me as far as I'm concern. Were not the only ones dealing with anger issues. Most of the younglings here have had their childhood ripped from them. Lives have been changed. The questions is not why, but how does one handle it.

I can only hope Mira has the wisdom to help us all. That's a big load even for a Jedi Master. The one thing I won't give up on is hope. Confound it I'm not going to sit here and sulk. Reaching over he rubbed Greystar's head again. "You will be easy on me in sparring won't you?" looking earnestly at the youngling.

"Me,be easy on you?" said Greystar, grinning. "I thought it was to be the other way around.But you're right. I started slowly and picked up proficiency. And no, you're not a loser. Mira had the same approach to me when she was my master before, and I think I understand. She didn't teach me directly, and I was drawn on my own resources, letting the Force guide me. And I now can guess that's what she wanted it to be. That way, my path is uniquely mine, not hers."

Looking to Trystor, he said "And you need not be sorry. It's something you need to work out. Right now, your emotions are in chaos, and you're on the same dangerous crossroad that I was back in the Temple." He took another bite of his sandwich. "At least you aren't breaking things like I was. Rai may be pushing you too fast, and that seems to be what is frustrating you. I wonder what advice Mira would give you, but I can guess she would just have you deal with it yourself. You do need to focus your anger, and not let it control you, find a creative way to channel it, if you know what I mean."

In the Kitchen of Lilly's farm

Boskor chuckled at the chikar's remark. Sparring with the youngling would be fun and he wanted to give Greystar a chance to get the feel of the light sabers he had just made. He recognized the truth in the words spoken. The force would have to help him on the path that was meant especially for him, whatever path that might be.

"Alright Greystar we will start slow so you can get used to those new light sabers of yours. Let's clean up these dishes though before we go. Trystor you might like watching this I have no doubt this youngling can teach us a thing or two." He said, grinning at them both.

He grabbed his plate and cup and put them in the dish water adding more hot water to the sink in both sides. Having washed the dishes placed them in the rinse water then looked at Trystor and Greystar.

"Here give me your dishes I'll wash if one of you will dry and put them away. There is an open area just outside away from the house which should do for the sparring. Sooner we finish this sooner we can start." doing the best to keep his hand dry.

He walked out as the two worked together finishing the dishes greeting the sunshine of a pleasant day. Hearing the animal sounds he relaxed. Everything seemed okay and even the smells invigorated him. Waiting for the other two to catch up he pulled out his light saber. Using warm up exercises he put the saber through Soresu movements watching the light saber blade dancing in the air as he continued the warm up.

Greystar had to get up on a stool to help with the drying. As for putting away, he had to use the Force to bring the dishes up to the cupboard. Size matters not, Yoda's words echoed in his mind.

He then was able to come out and do some warmups himself. He brought out the red saber. The white was for later, and maybe a little later. He was used to using Goloft's lightsaber, but these curved ones, which actually made up for his small size, was different, and he had to follow the leading of the Force to apply the Tavi discipline to it.

Outside the house and in a clearing.

Boskor deactivated his light saber as he watch the young Chikar warm up using his red light saber. A traditional color of the dark side, but it did not unnerve him. He simply wanted to give the youngling a feel for his blade. No doubt he would proceed cautiously as he sparred with Greystar.

"When I say stop, you stop understood. We will start shortly. Neither one of us wants to get hurt. We will start slow and progress in speed and agility as you become accustomed to your saber. I want you to feel of what it is like in combat, but I am not your enemy. There is no shame in parrying my moves or making mistakes. Remember this is not test just a chance to show what you know." turning away from the youth momentarily.

He then looked at the youngling who seemed to hold his breath on every word the teenager said.

"Relax Greystar our purpose is to learn, grow in the force, but to have fun as well." smiling at the Chikar.

Pointing to where he wanted youth to stand he took a defensive step back and ignited his saber.

"Show me what you got." holding his blade ready to interact reaching out with the force.

Trystor helped out in the kitchen with Boskor and Graystar after they were finished he followed them by invitation to watch them spar. "How do you focus your anger?" Trystor asked. As they made there way outside. "Why do you have two Light sabers Greystar?" He wondered as they walked.

He listened to them as they talked as they made it to where they were going to spar at. He listened carefully and watched as intently as he could. As He watched as the stretched and warmed up before the sparing began.

This was interesting to him since he was not able to before to even watch a sparing match before.
He sat back and relaxed a bit as they were about to begin. He was glad they were so understanding about what he was going through.He liked the interaction that they had between each other and the others. He sighed as he continued to watch there final warm ups.

Trystor was curious about the colors of the light sabers. He would have to try and remember to ask about that later.He did his best to pay attention to them both as they were about to start there practice sparing.

Lily's Farm, on top of the Barn
A JP between Rade and Syndar

Syndar had left early morning to go on a run, he was getting restless he wished to move forward and accomplish something. Normally the Vurk would be easy going, and just go with the flow, today though... he felt that something was going to happen. The others were talking with each other, about light sabers and other force things. He though, didn't feel like it at the moment. He had noticed Faaral had gone up on the roof of the barn, Rai had gone up to speak to her briefly then left.

Syndar decided that he'd test his prowess and make his way up there as well. It didn't take long for him to get up there. using the roof of the chicken coop, to the beam that jutted out which had a pulley attached to it, then up to the roof.

"Hey, thought I'd come up and say hello to you. And apologize for not being the chatty sort." giving a wry smile. "Guess I am too prone to just sit back and observe? Or as my master had once said, just too laid back. Tell me about yourself, and where you came from. If you don't mind my asking."

Opening an eye, the Amaran just smiled at the next visitor. "Well, I've always been the quiet sort already." The eye closed. "I wasn't very chatty back the Jedi Temple, either." A frown formed on her face. "Of course, nobody really wanted to talk to me either. Not powerful at anything, passed off from one Master to another. I think I overheard talk about me being passed off to the Service Corps, even though I has proceeded as far as I did."

A soft chuckle from Syndar. " My master found me challenging as well, thought I was too lax in learning what I needed to know. I was more into looking around and exploring, than learning my lessons. My master ended up finding out how to bribe me into learning my lessons. Perhaps your teachers just didn't look far enough beneath your surface in order to work with you.Sadly, there were those who just didn't have the patience to do such."

Rade nodded. "True. They didn't take anything seriously, so I ended up learning a bit from here and there." Her eyes opened, a haunted look in them. "... then the attack on the Temple occured. I got scared. I jumped form the landing pad... nearly died." She looked to one side. "Twice. Then my current Master found me and showed me that there is more to life than the half-baked lessons I did recieve."

She gave a weak smile. "Of course, things are not always what they seem. A lesson she seems to be teaching me now by having me here watching this lot."

Syndar nodded, gently touching Faaral's shoulder. "I am glad you survived, Who is your current Master? To be honest I dont' know, as nothing has been spoken of who your master is. "

A quick glance at the touched shoulder was given before looked at him. "You don't know?" There was an honest look of confusion. "When did you join this little wayward group?"

"I was at the beginning when this motley crew got together, you might say I was just in some aspect drifting along. Blake is my current jedi master, but as for whom you are learning under, I don't know. Blake has been a decent teacher, but he at times can just be a bit too tensed up. Doesn't help when it comes to going with the flow of the Force. I think he is starting to learn that lesson, now that he has a girlfriend. " he said thoughtfully. "but yes I honestly didn't know, and.. I didn't ask. I did notice that you had left the group, and that my little adopted sister, Dobby really missed you."

Rade nods slightly. "Yeah, Dobby's a fun one." A beat, before deciding to come clean. "My Master is Darth Byrna."

"I've not heard of him or is it a her?" Syndar answered, not seeming to be affected by her revelation.

She blinks again. "Her." A beat. "Do you know what a Sith is?"

"Yes I do know what a Sith is, but, really am I supposed to bring out my lightsaber and try to kill you? Personally I don't feel like doing so. It would just mess with the good feelings that are going on. well, some good feelings, I can tell there are some who are having some hard feelings at this time. They just need to learn to not take things far too seriously."

"That is unless it is really necessary" he shrugged.

A chuckle was the response. "No. 'Darth' is a title for a Sith Lord. And ... well... I guess that's what I am now. Got the new name and everything." She sighed. "I've learned a lot in the short time I've been with my new Master. More than I ever did in the Temple. I also learned that the Jedi Council hadn't been telling everything everything." She glanced toward the farmhouse. "I know one here already gets it. And Master Mira was quite understanding when she met my Master. I guess they're hoping that everyone can learn from the so-called 'Emperor''s arrogance."

"Master Mira she, can be a puzzle. I found it rather interesting to find out that, she and Fel were married. Apparently for a few years, and right under the noses of the council. I hope she can keep things moving forward, she has a bit upon her shoulders trying to figure out how to have things flow, somewhat. She hasn't said much about her past, though from what I have observed from the friendly way she and Lily greeted each other, that she had been here before. Yes I am captain obvious." he said with a smile. then going back to what she said," Would you mind if I just keep calling you Faaral? I have hear Cazak call you Rade, but, really, its not as pretty as Faaral."

She nodded, ears giving a twitch. "Faaral is what I go by here. Me and my Master are not so sure if everyone is as welcoming to have Darth Rade in their presence."

Syndar nodded again, "If you had a choice what would you prefer what name would you prefer to have?"

Eyes closed, she considers the question. Who she was. Who she is now. Her eyes open again. Darkness seems to ensroud her. "Rade."

"Rade." Syndar let it roll off his tongue." You know that sounds an awful lot like, Radiant"

"I am aware. Master gave it to me when I accepted the role of being her Apprentice."

"So... there is a light beneath the darkness you are emanating." Syndar stated. "I can feel it there."
Dark Angel: Rade shook her head. "It shouldn't be there."
ymela_dreamer: "Really? We all have both lightness and darkness with in ourselves. Besides, if you were all dark, Dobby wouldn't be how she is with you."

"She wants to be my friend. I let her, and she is happy. She doesn't have to face the darkness." She glowers at Syndar. "I do so she doesn't have to."
ymela_dreamer: "And I appreciate that you do that for her. Relax, I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable. I just want to tell you, that I like you and am enjoying our conversation."

Rade huffed. "I guess I have to meditate more on it. Who I am now, and what I have to do."

Syndar quirked his head to one side. "Apologies. If you would like me to leave now I will, Thing is, I wanted to get to know you as a person, and.. find out what you liked to do. If that isn't against the Sith code."

A weak smile was returned. "No, it isn't. The Sith Code let's us know what we are and why we do things. The very first line states that we have emotions as sentient beings, and to not ignore them."

"Okay good," Syndar's smile emerging even more. " Do you have a color you like, Or a Flower. Some sort of food that tasted really good to you.?

The look of confusion returned. "And why are you asking me? Rather personal, if I do say so."

"I guess it could be considered rather personal. Its something I've asked friends before, Some just laughed at my questions."

"You must have some weird friends."

" Eh they say I am the weird friend" Syndar laughed. "Look enough of my asking you questions, are there any you'd like to ask of me?"

"Not really."

"Okay, fair enough." Syndar said with a shrug not taking offense. "I'll take my leave then, if you would like me to."

She nodded slowly, watching him.

" I will see you around later, and.. I'd like to spar with you, minus deadly lightsaber sparring." giving a wink.

Rade snorted again.

"See you later, Rade, or rather, radiant one." his tone not one of derision.

Greystar listened to Trystor as they walked outside. "Controlling and focusing your anger in positive ways is something you learn by doing. Just watch me, and see how I do it. As for the two lightsabers, they are for different purposes. The red one," he ignited it, "is what I normally use in the Tavi discipline. I use it when the dark side has the upper hand. It's kind of ironic that I use the red, which is usually a sith color, against the dark side. The other one," he ignited the white one, "is for the excesses of the light side. Again, using what looks like a Jedi color against it. The paradox fits my path as a greywalker."

He turned off both as he approached Boskor, and listened to what he had to say. "Understood, Boskor." he said. "It is for fun and to find ourselves. If I thought you were an enemy, I'd be using the white lightsaber, but I'm going to use the red."

He brought out the red lightsaber, ignited it, and took the Tavi stance, which looked kind of odd to any onlooker. "I am ready. Let's begin." He was reaching out with the Force, letting it teach him its ways.

In the clearing.

Boskor looked the young Chikar and made an opening cut of the light saber toward him. Deliberately making the arc high to see how the youngling would respond. It would give an opening to his opponent He was anxious to see how the youngling would use his saber. Already knowing what his reaction would typically be, he prepared himself for the next movement.

He could see Trystor watching the red and green blades coming toward each other. His movement had been slow giving Greystar the opportunity to feel the blade responding to his commands. More than anything else he hoped it to be a learning exercise for all of them.

In the Clearing

Greystar was in tune with the Force according to his long practice. His stance was unusual, almost pigeon-toed, but it allowed him, after the red mongoose his Tavi style was named after, to leap effortlessly in any direction.

He focused on being slow at first. He both saw and felt the blade coming, and slashed upwards in a diagonal motion, meeting the green lightsaber, blocking it.

He smiled, "Very good Greystar. I guess you realize not to take always the first opening given to you. Now you attack me and I'll take the defensive. Your style is unusual to me, but I think that I can defend against it. " glancing at the Chikar and at Trystor moving back to his original stance.

The youngling impressed him by not aggressively trying to attack him. Swordplay was much like a boxing match. Each side trying to wear down the other to gain the advantage. Boskor controlled his breathing and relaxed as Greystar prepared.

Trystor sat there as he attempted to soak in all the information he could by there styles and how they handled the blade. It was almost like a dance it was graceful and flowing. Trystor even felt the presence of the force which was still an odd sensation for him.

He continued to focus on the action between them and listening. He did not disturbed them as the fought. Trystor attempted to see how Greystar dealt with his anger which was not easy to do but he attempted too.

Greystar didn't respond, but instead, did a force leap, bringing the blade down on Boskor with a one-handed stroke as he went up. He was already preparing to bounce off of the return stroke when it happened. He was having fun, even though even a sparring match like this one was deadly serious.

In the clearing.

The force leap did not surprise him nor the precision movement the youngling made. Looking at the Chikar's face told him that the youngster was enjoying himself. Boskor blocked the move as the two blades met crackling as if lightening had met in the air. He did a back flip into the air putting a good six feet between them.

He watched to see if the Greystar would commit himself to the move he had wanted to make or realize he had the advantage now with a longer reach of his light saber. Giving the youngling his due the Padawan knew that he could be fast and deadly if allowed to get too close with that blade. True this was a test of skill, but accidents could happen and he was determined that no one would get hurt.

Boskor advanced carefully with a series of strokes that would force the youngling into a defensive posture. He knew the agility of the Chikar and the force leaps could put himself in a compromising situation. He would trust as he touched the force.

If Greystar had been facing Anakin Skywalker the relatively new Lord Vader would show no mercy, no regret and would push the youngling hard until he faltered. Defense was key just as much as offense. Up to now he had been dancing around the youngling's creative advances. Not that his form had given him a disadvantage, actually it work well with the blade the Chikar used.

He continued to press forward adjusting his moves to youngling's size and reach. Opening himself up to the force he concentrated on this advance waiting to se how Greystar would respond.

Lily's Farm
Mira and Lily

Mira's conversation with Lily took her down to the cellar where she helped Lily gather some tubers up for lunch and the evening's supper.

Mira breathed in deeply of the earthy scent of the root cellar, she liked how quiet it was, almost a soothing sense of the place sort of being isolated from the somewhat frantic nature of how things were. Looking at what was here, Mira took up an apple from an oaken barrel filled with apples and water.

"Is it alright if I have one?" Mira asked, looking at Lily.

At the nod from her hostess, Mira took a bite of the apple enjoying the sweet and tartness of the fruit, the juices of it running down her chin. She smiled wiping off the liquid.

"That is delicious!" Mira exclaimed, "Its been awhile since I've eaten something as good as this."

"You know, Mira, you are welcome to some of the food supplies here when you head out to your destination." easily talking with her friend.

"I will accept some onions and tubers, and some of these apples, thank you, Lily."

"No, thank you, Mira, your people have been rather helpful around the place."

Mira smiled as they headed up the stairs. "I am wondering if those that are here with me, are wondering where I have gone off to. Hopefully they don't think that I have abandoned them." with a rueful smile.

"I think they are worried that you are not being attentive to them. I know you have a burden on your shoulders keeping them together." Lily remarked, as they headed up the stone stairs.

Mira nodded, "Probably so, after all at this moment I am the only leader they have. And I don't know if I have been much of one."

Lily looked at Mira, " My dear, they are not expecting a perfect leader, only someone who will work with their individual quirks and personalities and to weave them together into a working team. You have strength and wisdom, I saw that when I first saw you so many years ago, with your husband. You both had gone through several ordeals and yet, you were strong enough to endure that to leave this planet and go on with your life."

"Thank you Lily, you and your husband were so wonderful when we arrived." Mira replied.

"We were very happy to help out a couple who were very much in love." Lily smiled softly, before she opened the door of the cellar leading into the kitchen.

"Well guess I had better find where everyone is."

"Not before you have a good breakfast, come along, Mira. An uninterrupted breakfast will do you good, without anyone besieging you with concerns, and needing comfort." giving Mira a rather firm look.

Mira tried to be stubborn, but she did see merit in Lily's words.

"Very well. I shall acquiesce. I am very hungry." Mira giving a smile.

Lily laughed. "I am glad you will agree."

A little bit later, Mira finished her breakfast in a quiet area where Lily liked to eat, an area which looked over a small pool of water, and a willow tree dipping some of its branches and roots in. The aroma of this secret garden, filled with its herbs and the scent of its flowers gave Mira peace. It helped to renew her spiritually and mentally.

It was time to go look for those who had scattered about the farm. She sensed several meeting in a clearing, it was Cazak, Trystor and Boskor. She will seek them out then look for the others.

Mira paused as she silently observed the training the padawans were doing. This was a prime time to see them at work.

In the Clearing

Greystar landed nearby when Boskor did his back flip and started moving in. Immersed in the Force, he guessed what was coming next, and he would have to defend now. Although he would be looking for an opportunity. He had lucked out with that Dark Jedi a while back, but now he did have to defend.

He blocked each stroke as it came. His mind went back to the time in the temple, where he had battled Darth Lahore. The red glare was appearing in his eyes, as he looked for an opportunity.

His saber was contacting with Boskor's and now he was able to use it as a lever, bouncing upwards again, then slashing downwards. It was getting faster now, and it was a task not to hurt each other, he knew. These weren't toys, but deadly weapons in the hands of a Jedi. Or a Sith.

He felt Mira's arrival on the periphery, but had to ignore it, as he had his hands full. The Tavi technique was being tested to the utmost. He had to use the Force to anticipate the next move. How would he have fared against Vader? Probably far worse.

In the clearing.

The little Chikar impressed him and met every thrust he made. Still he pressed as the youngling adjusted to the attack. They were getting close to the edge of the clearing now. Immersed in the force he no longer felt Trystor's presence. The two were locked in battle and yet neither were leaving an opening. The defensive stances of both forms seemed to be working and to Boskor that was important.

His master had taught him that sword fights weren't always fair or ethical. Trickery and deception often entered into play. That really wasn't his style. With each attack he was moving closer down the deadly blade of his opponent. The next move had to be done with great care with all his strength and the assistance of the force he pinned Greystar's saber to the ground, the tip hissing in the dirt.

Greystar had made a valiant effort, almost succeeding ,but he had the advantage of height an angle with his blade. "Stop, I am very impressed with your style. Will you be willing to teach me?" disengaging his light saber looking solely at the Chikar.

At this point he now felt another presence it was then he noticed Mira. Now he turned to Mira and bowed on bended knee.

"Forgive me Master Star. I hope that I have not overstepped in sparring with the youngling. His weapons are impressive and both of us were anxious to see how he could weld them since they were just recently made." He said, looking at her almost to a point of trembling.

He remained on his knee and bowed his head reverently before her.

Greystar had not until now met such a challenge as he did now. He had to learn from the Force how to resist Boskor's advances.

Finally, Boskor had pinned his saber to the ground.

"I was about to ask the same question, Boskor. You have much to teach me. I still have to work on overcoming the size thing like Yoda did."

He then looked over at Mira and bowed his head. "Thank you for coming, master. How were we doing in our battle?"

Boskor stood there on bended knee almost afraid to speak. He turned his head slightly and smiled at Greystar. Being somewhat older than the Chikar he wasn't sure how the master might react to his interlude with the youngling. He had felt from her that she took special interest in the younglings as their protector and ultimate instructor.

At this point he could not help, but swell up with pride for the grey walker. He had demonstrated himself well in the sparring. Regardless what the youngling might think the battle had been a draw which was how Boskor had intended it to be. He hope by the smile he shared that the youngling would understand they were now bounded in friendship and he would help him if the master allowed.

He sensed Trystor and could feel his desire from the force to speak with Mira. Feeling compassion for the man he hoped that Mira might be able settle his fears. Even Greystar seem to want some guidance as well from what he felt in the force.

"Master Star, please forgive me that I have dishonored you twice now. The first was leaving the farm without letting anyone know where I was going or when I planned to return. The second for not seeking permission from you to spar with the youngling. I could have remained quiet about the first offense, but the second one is quite obvious. Lying, I never did with my previous master and I see no reason to start now. I will accept any punishment you deem necessary. Please accept my apologizes. " rising from his position of respect for the master and stood there humbly waiting her response.

Greystar looked up at Boskor and smiled. He felt that he had made a new friend, and the sparring created a bond between them. He felt Boskor's nervousness around Mira, and wondered. She was not Yoda, or even Mace Windu. She was totally different, and there needed be nothing to be afraid of, according to his own point of view.

"Master, it is not his fault. I am the one who requested the sparring. You have already taught me that we need to do most of our learning of the ways of the Force ourselves."

He thought of Boskor's request that he teach him the way he had learned. He would speak of the Tavi later, and what it meant.

Boskor stood looking at the Jedi Master. His heart was torn, he didn't fear Mira as much as he respected her for being a Jedi Master, the only one he knew now, the only one who could give him hope. He knew Greystar meant well by his remarks. Still he should have asked permission being one of the newest members of the group, not sure where he fit in with Mira's plans. Only one Jedi Master scared him and that had been Yoda. Mace had been on the council, but hadn't spoke directly to him only his previous master at least he didn't think so. The others he didn't know since the interview had been brief and much too the point.

"He is too old." even the words rang in his mind still. Was he too old he thought, look at what the Chikar had accomplished in his short years. Master Sulet hadn't thought so. If it hadn't been for him he still be a two bit pick pocket. His self esteem certainly low. All his life he had followed the rules, at least that which he knew, whether the priest, pirates or Jedi Master taking responsibility for him.

His father had been special to him. Someone who would always listen, who genuinely took an interest in his life. Master Sulet had tried to fill that loneliness left by his father's death. The Jedi Master had been loving, but strict in how he looked at other Jedi Knights or Masters. He had even feared letting him know how he felt about Yoda, so the topic had been taboo thus never discussed.

What Greystar had said made sense in the fact that we had to take responsibility to learn of the force and Jedi ways. He went over to the Chikar and put his arms around him and ruffled his furry head.

"Thanks, but it is the Master's decision on how she expects me to behave. Once I know her rules I promise to do better. You little one were awesome and it was the most fun I have had in some time." turning his attention once again to the Jedi Master.

"Greystar take your time growing up, being a teenager isn't all that it is cracked up to be. All I want to do is fit in the with group, but I am not sure I really know the way to do it. How can I really please others if I can't even please myself? Forget it. Even to Master Star I must be sounding like a whinny teenager who has had too much sugar. I need to sit in the shade of that tree pointing behind him. Only hope she will let me still go on the temple trip" walking slowly to the rock sitting himself down facing the clearing.

He took his water flask and drank deeply from it then pour the rest over his head watching the water pool at his feet. Whatever happen next he decided that the past was now gone. Forget it, nothing he could do would bring his father or master back. Today mattered only for it being the only thing he could hope to control. Tomorrow who cared, somehow it would take care of itself until it became the present.

He looked up at the beautiful Jedi Master. Her purple eyes seemingly bearing into his soul. Not willing to look he closed his eyes perhaps if he could draw upon the force to calm his troubled heart maybe peace would claim him.

"Boskor, that is no shame, that you can't please yourself. That shows you have a drive, a will to get better, the best you can be. Never satisfied with what you are." said Greystar. "And I think you're awesome. You did a great job in the sparring. I think I will share with you why the Force taught me the Tavi, which has never been seen before, if it's all right."

He sat down and looked to Mira as well.

The Clearing.
Mira

She looked at each of those there, an eyebrow raised at hearing and seeing Boskor's reaction to her arrival.

"Listen to me clearly, there will not be any punishment, nor will anyone not be going to the Temple. I did say you will be learning on your own, learning from each other as well as learning from myself and the other Jedi Knights. The only way we can be strong is to learn from each other. Also to exercise patience, not only with each other but, yourself as well. You are not expected to be perfect right off the bat. Even I am not perfect. I still am learning, I know for certain I haven't learned everything yet. That would be ridiculous and filled with hubris for me to even think so."

Mira picked up an feather, holding it in her hand then with a gentle breath sent it floating in the air. Directing it towards where Boskor was seated, with her telekenesis. She had it tickle his nose she smiling. She also sent another one towards Cazak, and one to Trystor.

"One can not be all serious and not smiling, not enjoying life." The feather tickling each of those on the nose. Then the feather dancing out of the way. "Have you ever played with a feather, watched as it floats upon the wind, seeing how long you can keep it in the air with your very breath?"

Allowing the feathers to float to the ground, if they weren't caught by them.

Lily's Farm
Hanoch

He had gone with the others to Lily's farm, stayed there long enough to do some work around the place. Enjoying working with his hands. However, he just couldn't sit around and just enjoy the quietness of the place. He wanted a drink, he wanted to see what the pubs were like in this out of the way place. He let Mira know about what he wanted to do, then looked for Resquar.

"Hey Red, want to go check out the local scenery in Gritten? I'm wanting to go see the town, before Mira and her people head off to their other destination. What d' ya say?"

Giving a half pleading look towards her. Besides he just wanted to find out information, have a few laughs with the locals if they were friendly or maybe get into a minor brawl. Or maybe...He just smiled. It wouldn't ,now could it?

Trystors feeling were right she felt something. He needed to learn to understand them better as they both stopped as another arrived. Trystor stayed where he was at and was silent as he bowed from his seated position as a sign of respect.

He listened as things unfolded around him. "I was observing the sparing in practice combat." He said calmly to Mira. As he listened with interest to the conversation. As she talked about the feather and tickling there noses with it and such.

"I cant say i have given the feather a blow before?" Trystor said with a straight face.

Greystar was laughing and holding his sides as the feather was tickling him. He caught the feather and tried the trick of blowing it up and catching it. "You seen Dobby?" he said. "I have something for her. I think she'd like it." he said.

Tag Boskor, Trystor and Mira
He opened his eyes when he heard the Chikar speak. His kind words soothed him. Learning the Tavi excited him. Drive yes , his previous master had instilled it in him. The words next from the Jedi Master gave him courage to look at her. They were bold , but not harsh or accusatory, yet she let them know she was in command.

Her eyes now radiated sort of a comfort, a purple hue that was no longer piercing. He now finally heard from her what he needed to hear. She was so different from his first master. His heart couldn't help, but be lifted hearing that he could go to the temple. Also thankful for the friendship Greystar and Trystor offered.

The feather had tickled his nose causing him to smile. Admitting to himself that he never had tried what the Master had suggested. Their sparring had taught him it is okay to have fun if you are learning. He reached down and picked up the feather. A feather, such a small light thing, but it had done more to heal his heart than perhaps anything else could have done.

He listen to a new conversation as Hanoch and Resquar spoke. Sounded like the company Rai would like to keep. Smiling he looked at the two then remembered the butting heads remark Rai had made. Honestly he wished them the best and hoped they enjoyed Gritten.

Well the trip to the temple was still on. He wondered if both Greystar and Trystor were already packed and ready. He sat on the rock and blew upon the feather getting a kick out just doing this simple thing. Watching it hang in the air twirling caught by his gentle breath.

"Hey Greystar and Trystor think we have time for a swim in the pond?" He asked beaming a broad smile at them all.

"I believe we do Boskor!" He said with a smile to them both. He watched as they were no both beaming with life and not dreading the visit from Mira.

If she had time He still wanted to chat with her before anything else happened. He hoped she understood the feeling he was having. His smile faded after the others turned away from his as he got up slowly from his seat on the ground.

He listened quietly to Hanoch and Resquar spoke briefly. He was not trying to pry in on there conversation. Just happened to be there and over hear anything interesting. As he left towards the pond. Since Mira was being bombarded by the others for an audience. He followed along behind Boskor and Greystar. He finally caught up.

"ready for that cool water?" He asked them both.

"Am I ready heck yeah, strip off these outer layer of clothes to my shorts and water here
I come. Although I am wondering and Greystar may know. Do you think the other younglings would like to cool off too? After all it is a hot day. There is some rope in the barn too that we could tie to a limb out over the water, be kind of cool. Swing from one of the lower branches then just drop into the water from above. For some of us who are braver we could climb higher into the tree and just dive off. Well if it is deep enough." he said, smiling walking with his friends.

"I'm ready." said Greystar. "And I think the other younglings would like it, though I don't know many of them except Dobby. I do want to see her for another reason, as I have something for her that means something to both of us." He grinned. "And I don't need to take anything off except for my weapons belt. You already see that, as I rarely go anywhere with anything on other than my fur."

"Sure comes in handy when you want to swim." He said chuckling. "Well the pond is not going anywhere anytime soon. Trystor do you need to change? Because if you do I'll let you go change and meet you at the pond. Greystar, Dobby knows the other younglings maybe the Gran can pass on the word to the others, it is a thought. Bet Nuana would probably enjoy it too, perhaps she can help. Besides it will give you a chance to take care of what you want to do as well. I'll go and get that rope and see if I can find a floating device or devices the younglings can use if they wish. The rope is in the barn and I might be able to find other things as well. You can come with me if you want Trystor if all you need to do is strip like I'm going to do. Either way will meet at the pond in a little while." stopped looked at Greystar and Trystor still chuckling thinking the Chikar is probably a good swimmer too.

"It might be a better idea to get changed." He said calmly to him. "this will give me a chance to help gather a few things from the barn for the pond." He said quickly. "I bet the youngling would truely enjoy this." as he showed a small smile "they can be children for a little bit without and restrictions."

"well lets get this done before it gets any hotter."

Trystor followed him to the barn to get his towel and change into his swim suit. While he was there he grabbed some rope. "what else you think might be needed?" Trystor asked Boskor.

As he waited for him to change into what ever he was getting into. He layed the sword down on his bag that Rai had laid at his feet earlier. He sighed as he stared at it a moment.

He watched Greystar walk away to take care of business knowing he would meet up with him later on. They had quickly found the rope and he listened to Troy's question.

"Something the children can float on inner tubes or such. Imagine a big tube from a steam tractor wheel. I bet they would have a blast jumping off that or just floating it on the pond. There has to be some extra tubes around somewhere here."

Looking through the back of the barn he came across an old bicycle and on the shelves above were spare inner tubes. Rai certainly had arranged things nicely back here. Not just for the bike but also some for the farm equipment. Boskor looked down at a hand pump sitting on the floor. He would take that with him too and pump up the tube at the pond.

He grabbed the items and started walking back to Trystor having already changed after grabbing some sandals and shedding his outer clothes to his dark red shorts. He was surprised how quickly his body had tanned since being at the farm.The daily workouts and running had the extra benefit of tanning. Placing a rather large towel wrapped around his neck and his bare torso he walked back to the front of the barn.

Noticing the sword sitting there he wondered what thoughts were going through the mans head. He thought about touching it, but decided against it since it was a personal thing between the two men.

Despite everything, Boskor still had respect for both men. He actually thought it was nice that Rai would let the man use one of his personal swords.That Trystor showed bravery in even considering being taught by the man. Harsh taskmasters were often fearful to those who took the challenge, but he had no doubt when Trystor completed his training he be a better man for it.

"Found an inner tube and pump. Anything else you can think of that the younglings might have fun with at the pond?" asking the man as he came beside him.

Trystor noticed Boskor looking at the sword. "whats wrong? Should i bring the sword swimming?" He asked him. "Good they will have fun with the tubes and the rope." he indicated as he was ready.

He waited a moment for a response to his inquiry. He grabbed his borrowed sword again "Ready when you are?"

"Trystor I don't expect trouble, but best you hold on to that sword Rai would be extremely upset if something happen to it. I just hope Greystar had some success with Dobby and the rest of the younglings or anyone else who would like to cool off. Best head to the pond and get this rope put up and the tube pumped. This is going to be fun." walking out of the barn with his items in hand then heading toward the pond with Trystor walking beside him.

"Your right I dont need Rai being more upset with me for losing something that's not mine. Thank you for the advice." Trystor said while they walked along. With the other stuff in his hands. "I agree this will be fun for all." He said calmly as he thought quietly back towards the pond.

"Can I ask you a question? How long have you trained as a Jedi?" Trystor asked him.

"Of course you can ask me questions. Were on the same team aren't we? My first master found me when I was already 15 and I'm almost 17 now. Guess that would make it nearly two years. I also had training with pirates for nearly a year, mostly fencing with a foil since it was lighter in my hand and being of small build at that time. I still have much to learn about being a Jedi and I'm confident that Master Star will see I get the training to past the trials." smiling at the man.

Now let me ask you one. "How did you learn to cook so well?" looking attentive at the man walking beside him.

Trystor smiled at his comment. "I'm glad we are on the same team." He said quickly. "you have had more training then I might as well say i am a green horn. or wannabe youngling since i am learning from scratch." He said with a straight face.

"your more then welcome to ask me anything!" He said with a half smile. "Well I learned that from my mother." He said with a smile on his face. "She taught me everything i know for keeping house etc."

"You are fortunate I have two sisters , so my mother taught them, insisted I marry someone who could cook or I was going to starve. My protocol droid is programmed to cook so as you can see I'm not starving. laughing as he walked.

They arrived at the pond and turned to Trystor. "Why don’t you pump up the tube. I'll climb up and secure the rope."

It didn't take him long to secure the rope then climb down to the lower branch. He pull hard on the rope to make sure his knot held. Then jumping he swung out on the rope over the water and let go. The water felt good as he entered. Rising out of the water he looked at Trystor. "If your done with the tube come on in. The water is delightful." shaking water from his head.

Truly the water was cool and satisfying. It was mid afternoon now and the sun beat down with its heat. His light saber tucked in his clothes back at the barn, but a blaster wrapped in his towel on the shore just in case. No one had tried to hurt group yet. Still it best to be prepared cause anything could happen.

Boskor used telekinesis to cause the rope to wrap around the limb one would jump off from. Then waited to see what the man would do.

"Well I would be honored to teach you cooking if you like."Trystor said quickly as he pumped up the tubes. As he watched him tie the rope on the thick limb. The swing of and jump into the water. "How deep is the water?" Trystor asked him. Trystor placed his towel down near Boskor's towel and placed Rai's sword underneath it for safe keeping. As he moved over to the rope and started his swing over the water as the wind blew through his hair as he swung. and let go. Falling to the water below with a big splash.

After coming to the surface. He also shook the water off his head. "Very inviting indeed!" He said with a smile. As he watched some of the others coming there direction. "well there are a few coming now." He said quickly.

A clearing near the farm

While the others went off to have some fun in the pond and mess around Rai choose to try his hand at meditating, actual meditating. Taking a seat on a patch of grass in a clearing he started to breathe deeply. At first nothing seemed to happen but in time a flash and a flicker of a vision hit him before it cleared up.

Rai could feel the age in his vision, it was in the future his knees ached somewhat he felt his ribs which had been pummeled on several occasions. There was the scarred areas too where he had been clipped by lightsabers or blasters. The left side of his face had a deep scar going down the jaw line and he could actually feel every battle he’d been in. He was past his physical prime not by much but enough. His armor had more welds and dents in it and his lighsabers bore signs of heavy use as well. Looking about he couldn’t tell what planet he was on or how far in the future the vision was. For all he knew this was just a dream. Either way he was going to follow the course of the dream/vision/whatever to its completion.

He was in a mountain pass with a storm brewing on the horizon and his friends (he couldn’t see them) had gone on ahead and he was waiting on an oncoming contingent of soldiers. The configurations of the helmets lead him to believe it was something more skilled that standard mercenaries or imperial forces. No these were trained for a specific purpose to hunt down and kill him and his friends. It was ten, one hundred or one thousand. The odds didn’t matter he had the idea that all he was going to was buy time for the rest of his friends.

“Go I got this.” Where the words to come from his mouth as he ignited both of his lightsabers and squared his shoulders against the tide of enemies.

Giving a powerful shout battle Rai charged giving a flying heel kick across the chins of the first two enemies that got close and the fight was on right and proper. His lightsabers hissed and crackled as the oncoming storm began to pour rain and hail down the mountain pass as the battle raged. Than it happened sometime during the heat of the pitch battle a blaster bolt pierced his armor and struck his chest. Feeling the damage Rai rallied as best he could and started fighting once again.

Valiantly Rai fought and again his body was pierced by a force pike. Blood could be felt pooling in his armor as the lead warrior made his way to the fore front. This was Rai’s chance to do some real damage to whoever was chasing his friends. Squaring his shoulders once again Rai breathed a raspy tired breath and charged into the breach as the Lead Warrior powered forward and as his weapon sawed through Rai’s armor, Rai woke in a cold sweat and breathing like he had been fighting hard for quite some time.

Boskor climb the tree to a good thirty feet above the pond. He had heard Trystor's question, but didn't know the answer. No one currently in the area of where he planned to jump. Only a little concerned from using the force guessed the pond deep enough for his jump. He would warn others they could not dive from there lest they hit the bottom. From this height he would tucked in his legs once he jumped then rolled four times before letting his legs straighten and enter the water. With the help of the force he had perfectly performed the jump then used it to slow his decent underwater. He reckoned that his feet were very close to the bottom yet did not touch it.

Surfacing above the water He looked at Trystor. "It is fairly deep here, but not enough to dive without risk. Those who know how to you telekinesis can probably manage. Frankly I don't advise any others trying what I just did. Without assistance of the force I would have hit bottom rather hard." He said, swimming toward the shore. He wondered what Rai was currently doing as he didn't see him anywhere here.

Getting out the water he laid down by his towel, his blaster still tucked in the holster underneath. The grass felt comfortable and he just relaxed. He would asked Trystor to let him help with cooking breakfast sometime soon, sure that there would be things to learn under his tutelage.

His thoughts drifted to the Faaral. He had been unfair to her as he had been to Mira. He shook his head in disgust. Greystar and Dobby were her friends, so why couldn't he accept her as well. How could he be so blind to let the rumors persuade his way of thinking. So what if she leaned to the dark side, still a member of this group and deserved the same considerations as anyone else in the group. If only she give him a chance to apologize. He didn't know if he had the courage to approach her on his own. Certainly couldn't blame her if she hated his guts. Perhaps Greystar could let her know he just wish to speak with her to ask forgiveness, for the foolish indiscretion of his youth. Judging when he couldn't even possibly know all the facts. He brushed back flowing tears from his eyes. His heart heavy with the fact that he might had caused her pain when she didn't even deserve it, least of all from him.

He looked around to see if Greystar was even there. The Chikar would love the rope swing and Dobby and Nuana would find the inner tubes a blast if they came. Being pretty dry now he climbed the tree and swung on the rope high enough to flip once then twice this time head first into the water.

Audyn had been moving around the farm in and effort to keep his muscles loose after his routines as well as hoping to lose the Merc Hardcase who had only recently left him, no doubt to resume the position of shadowing Master Star, taking in the pollutant free air and allowing nothing more then his own two feet to guide him when a disturbance in the force pulled him along until he came to the Zabrak, Rai, that the group had picked up on Coruscant.

As a slowly approached the obviously meditating Rai Audyn wondered what the force was guiding him to until Rai awoke panting for breath and a cold sweat blossomed on him and Audyn could tell he was disturbed. A set of reactions Audyn knew all to well.

"What did you see?" Audyn asked keeping his distance and his voice calm.

Trystor was swimming around the little pond quietly Noticing that Boskor was in some deep thought. As he got up again and jumped in again. He waited for him to come up. "I'm not trying to be nosy. but Is everything OK? You seem to be in deep thoughts." Trystor asked him.

He still couldn't help but wonder off in his thoughts too. He attempted to keep focused on what he was doing before he accidentally gets hurt as he got out and took another swing on the rope. Entering the water near Boskor with a splash. "I'm glad you suggested the swimming idea. It was perfect for a hot day." Trystor said sincerely to him.

Boskor smiled, "You are welcome my friend. It does feel good doesn't it?" dunking his head under water then shaking it as he raised his head out of the water once more.

"The stress I built up earlier seems to be disappearing slowly. I am at peace with Master Star, still there are others I wish to be at peace with too. Sometimes my master would say that I being wound up so tight that it was a wonder I didn't just snap. I know that we tend to be harder on ourselves. I suppose we forgive others before we will even forgive ourselves. You are not the only one that has had hard time adjusting most of those here are still adjusting in one form or another. Things will just take time, but I have to believe they will work out. Of course I'm scared, who wouldn't be knowing the Hutts, the self declared Emperor and his fiends were after you, but also your newly acquired friends as well. All because we are force sensitive." looking at his friend.

Yes we all had our troubles he thought, but that didn't elude the sense of injustice forced upon them to be vagabonds and fugitives in the universe. In some ways he felt like Rai. Better to stand and fight then all this hiding and sneaking around. The fight would come to them eventually, but not now.

He looked up and noticed the rope right above him. Stretching out his hand above his head he called himself to the rope rising out of the water. Then quickly swung it toward the tree then rode it out over the water.

"Alright I am a pirate Trystor here comes the cannonball." releasing the rope splashing just a few feet from the man.

When he surfaced looked at the man's head soaked and somewhat taken by this playful activity.

Rai recovered quickly from his first meditative experience and his breathing returned to normal in short order. Looking up at Audyn Rai smiled and replied "Nothing that I didn't know already." Rai proceeded to explain the details of the dream/vision to Audyn. "I have a full understanding that the most likely end to the path that I am following is me dieing at in some battle some where. I'm good with that fate." Rai stood from his sitting position in one easy movement and stretched asking you seen Mira around?"

Lily's Farm
Nuana and Dobby

Having worked on the project Audyn gave her most of the night, Nuana decided to find an out of the way place to get some sleep. She didn't feel like sharing a room with anyone, she had found herself a nice little hollow where she could curl up in.

Her dreams were filled with memories of what happened before she joined up with Mira and her group.

She was being pursued by bounty hunters and behind them holding their leash was Lady Jessa. Lady Jessa's image changed to that of someone who felt darker than the woman who had been pursuing her.

This person, whose features were concealed, looked towards Nuana whispered that she was useless, there was someone else who was far more worthy than she was. For some reason, which Nuana couldn't understand, that comment thrust into her like a well sharpened blade.

"Why are you calling me useless?" she had asked the mysterious person.

The form, did not answer, merely continued on its way.

Nuana felt that she had to find out whom was purported to be more worthy, so she followed. It was with a sudden intake of breath that she discovered where the forboding form had gone. It was Dobby's room, the small gran cuddling up to a small rag doll holding onto it tightly!

"No, not Dobby!! Leave the youngling alone!" Nuana spoke out.

Even though the young gran had some issues with Dobby, she felt protective over the small one especially where some malicious foul being was going to twist the little one into something she was not to be.

The being whirled around, "Are you volunteering yourself to take her place?"

"I refuse to come to the darkside." Nuana feeling her knees quiver and yet still standing her ground.

"Very well, enjoy the taste of this!" an arc of lightning travelling towards her.

"Nuana, what are you doing in my room?" Dobby softly queried, gently taking and shaking the arm of the bothan trying to get her to wake up.

Dobby was rather surprised to see Nuana there, and apparently the bothan was walking in her sleep.

Nuana work with a small shriek, looking around wildly then her eye stopped on Dobby.

"Why am I here, and where am I?!"

"You are in my room, and I don't know why you are here. Did you come to hurt me for being so mean to you?" Dobby taking a look at the patterns of Nuana, seeing how her emotions were.

"No.. I'm not here to hurt you, I dont' know why you've been so mean to me... I had a nightmare... never mind, you don't want to hear it. As you think I don't like your friend. I just don't like her too well, but I don't know her either. Oh never mind, I am leaving!"

Nuana turning and running out of Dobby's room and heading towards the countryside.

Dobby was concerned, she didn't know if Nuana was going to get hurt because of her, so the gran followed after her. She could tell Nuana was rather distraught.

"Nuana you can't leave like this!" she called after the bothan girl.

Nuana didn't say anything only to tap into the force to give her more speed to get away from Dobby and leave her behind.Nothing doing, Dobby was a very determined little youngling, and wasn't going to let Nuana get lost. Dobby didn't realize that Nuana could find her way back due to her heightened sense of smell. Nuana just wanted to think, away from Dobby an the others.

On and on they both ran calling on the force until they both grew tired. Nuana fell to the ground, exhausted, looking at the very tired Dobby.

"Why did you have to follow me, you'll get in trouble and I will be in trouble with Master Mira." Nuana groaned out.

"I wanted to know why you are running away and why you were in my room?"

"I don't want to talk about it Dobby."

"I think you should." the young gran being very insistent.

"I don't think so." Nuana being stubborn about this.

Dobby stood up her full foot and a half, her fists against her hips elbows akimbo.

"I have a right to know since you work me up!"

Nuana's fur ruffled softly, as she debated with herself.

Finally she spoke, "I saw a vision of someone who said I was useless and that you were a better candidate. The person said you'd be better to be turned to the darkside. I told the person no and then the person asked if I would be willing to take your place, I said no.. and then..." her ginger colored fur ruffled even more as she became a bit more upset.

"Then what happened!!"

"The person shot force lightning at me!" Nuana shouted at Dobby.

The little gran looked at Nuana, walking over to her and gave her a big hug.

Nuana stiffened, she wasn't expecting this.

"I'm sorry you had a terrible nightmare." Dobby said, her voice somewhat muffled by Nuana's fur. " And you were protecting me in your sleep. I don't know what to say. Maybe we can work to becoming friends? And maybe you won't be so angry about Faaral?" Dobby stepping back to look up at the bothan youngling." Why are you angry at her?"

"I am not angry at her, I just don't trust, maybe though its because she reminds me of that other woman who wanted to make me go to the darkside. I shouldn't judge her after all, I don't know her at all." Nuana's head lowering as she gazed at the ground.

"Its okay. I forgive you and maybe she will forgive you too." Dobby replied. "So you and I can be friends?"

Nuana's head rose up looking at Dobby. "Maybe we will be friends." flashing a teasing grin.

"What do you mean, maybe?" Dobby exclaimed.

"Really, I mean maybe." Nuana starting to laugh.

"Just wait until I get my hands on you." Dobby laughed.

"Come and get me!" Nuana heading back from whence they came leading Dobby on a merry chase, but not as quick as they had come before.

They returned, with Nuana playfully pushing Dobby, Dobby returning the favor. Dobby heard Cazak's call.

"Hi Cazak, I'm over here!" giving him a wave.

Trystor listened as Boskor Talked and let his words sink in. Boskor was right the water was melting the stress away. Also he agreed that everyone has been needing time to adjust. He was no different. other then the fact he was starting from scratch as the others have had some training. And He still needed clarity and Rai was not giving him that chance to do so. He wanted to talk to Mira but she was so busy he knew she had not the time at present.

"your right I am scared to death. All i knew was engineering and repairs of all types of craft. Now I am something more and Still don't know much more then that. And Rai ..." As Trystor's words drifted away quickly with a sigh. As He saw Boskor Rise out of the water to the rope above. "Nice trick?" He said quickly. He barely got out the words "a pirate?" He was enveloped by a rather large wave close to him that washed over his head. "Cannon Ball I think it was more then that!!" He said with a laugh. As he made him forget what he was talking about.

"Dobby!" said Greystar. "You're almost impossible to find anymore. We're getting together a swim party over at the pond, and I know you'd probably like to come along. Hi, Nuana, would you like to come along? It'd be the perfect way to cool off."

He was carrying a package. "And I have something for you, Dobby. You remember Master Goloft? The one who was training us when all of this happened. How he gave his life to protect us from Anakin?

Well, he entrusted his lightsaber to me, to remember him by, until I was able to make one of my own, and pass it on to another. I know now who." He took out Goloft's lightsaber. "Dobby, I'd like you to have it. It's a tool, not a toy, but I know you've trained hard. I can think of nobody better to pass it along to." holding it out to the little Gran.

Boskor laughed loudly at Trystor's remark. "Got a little wet did we. I hope your having fun my friend." splashing water playfully at him. "I'll stay right here if you want to cannonball me. Take your best shot, I won't mind. I can take it as well as give it." laughing splashing him again.

He laid floating on his back looking at a cloudless sky. Loud chirping could be heard coming from the trees. Ducks were swimming on the far side of the pond occasionally diving under water then coming up with a fish. Floating their he just cleared his mind. Whatever was happening in the force he didn't care. Right now enjoying himself in a way he hadn't for what seemed like a very long time. Water felt good and he knew he probably take a nap on the grass soon, let his marked back soak in some sunshine.

Trystor probably going to do something. He trusted him and he trusted the others too. Smiling he just floated going wherever the waves of the pond took him. He hoped Greystar would show up and figured he would eventually. Still he missed his little friend. Maybe they both could tease Trystor just a little. At that point, he laughed, he couldn't recall when he had this much fun with others.

All trystor could do is smile. "I sure am!" he said quickly as he splashed him back a few times. He waited till he was comfortable and fully relaxed. maybe he would ignore the force enough to get the drop on him. he saw him started to float on his back. He gave him a bit more time. Then he quietly got out and quietly and stayed hidden as he started to climb the tree. He noticed he was distracted enough he hoped. as he was about to jump he tripped over a small bit of limb as he fell out of the tree heading toward the deeper part of the water. As he tucked into a cannon ball for splash down. It took him a good minute as he untuck himself and started heading towards the surface. It took him longer then expected but he broke through the surface to the sunlight and light breeze flowing.

He was blinded briefly from looking directly into the sunlight, As he turned away all he could see was spots as he rubbed his eyes. Trystor floated there quietly and tried to observe everything by sound. As his vision cleared up from the spots. He moved to the shoreline and moved towards his towel carefully.

"As for Master Mira she shouldn't be to hard to find, just find that walking arsenal that's acting as her bodyguard." He said with a grin that didn't quite reach his eyes.

Boskor awoke to the splash, he had been in light mediation as he floated on the water. He saw the remnants of the splash heading towards him. Unfortunately the cannonball must have been too far away to actually get him. He rode the gentle waves out until it continued on to dissipate later. Allowing himself once more into a prone position He noticed Trystor floating on the water.

He thought about saying something, but now saw the man heading slowly to shore. Hoped the man hadn't hurt himself.Diving under water he swam towards the shore. Surfacing still some distance from the shore he finally touched bottom and walked out of the water shaking the water from his head.

"Don't know about you I may not be a youngling, but I could sure use a nap. I'm going to lay on my stomach and just go to sleep. Been a heck of fun day thanks Troy." laying down on the grass next to his towel. Taking his towel he rolled the big towel into sort of a pillow to lay his head.

Not long before sleep took him and once again he was dreaming of the girl he had seen on Mon Calamari. This time he made an effort to recall more physical details. Beautiful in his opinion, but also seemed under that light sundress a harden body that had seen much physical exertion. Not a pampered women by any means as far as he could tell. When he saw her walking with what appeared a purpose and determination. There eyes contacting had only been a minute distraction.

His dreams went to Faaral, her species were beautiful, quite different from humans. Even her name sounded eloquent, much like for real. Well he give her that she was a real beauty alright didn't think many human women could compete with her looks. Of course she had no interest in him and why should she. After all he was a just a teenager and she was certainly a woman who could command the romantic interest of many more mature men.

He now pictured Mira in his dreams. A strong Corellian woman, a certain beauty that ran through with many of the women he had seen on that planet. A sense of sadness overcame him. A woman who certainly must yearn for her husband, but didn?t show it. He couldn't see her husband leaving without a very good reason. Well all he could do was wish them both the best.

Whatever dreams he had they were lost in the land of endless possibilities, where only some were remembered and perhaps other best forgotten. His bare back gloriously soaking up the afternoon sunshine.

Rai shook his head, and chuckled before replying "Oh not, you got me wrong. I don't believe I'm gona die tomorrow. I just know that the end of my particular profession is a violent one. In short those who live by the sword die by it." Rai was matter of fact on the subject and didn't seem to be haunted by it.

Rai chuckled again and nodded "You know what, when ever she needs me she'll probably know where I am before I do." He smiled "So tell me 'bout your self." Rai said making conversation as he approached Audyn.

Lily's Farm, Atop the Barn
Rade/Faaral


Eyes snapped open as the Amaran Sith Apprentice scowled. She looked around, from her vantage point getting an idea of what was going on around the farm. Several of the younger ones playing in a pond, the Grey and Dobby by the farmhouse, several others working on a vehicle.

The group was scattered. But something was wrong...

There was something dark here. If not here, then nearby.

Fangs appeared on her lips, she sneered. Something was going to try and take what rightfully belonged to her Master.

Looks like soon she will be getting to put her training to the test... and her new Lightsabers...

Time to find out what's going on. She stood, looked over the edge, and faced her fear; she stepped off the edge. She landed with a soft *WHUMP!* using the Force to cushion her landing with a fist pressed to the dirt. Glancing around, ears twitching, she extended her senses for Mira. Might as well warn the one in charge.

Boskor awoke abruptly something in the force had moved him. It was a rare feeling something he had experienced once on Atzerri intense and frightening. He looked at Trystor then looked around the pond. The water still, not even a breeze blowing upon it. The inner tubes floating quietly on the surface of the pond. Something was off, but what was it. Why did this cold eerie feeling seem to seep down through the depth of his bones. He grabbed his blaster and strapped it to his waist.

If danger proceeding their way he preferred to be in the open. Perhaps not the wisest tactic but if an enemy was headed their way he be in better position to see them. He placed a mind shield over both of them. Mira certainly would contact them if this danger was serious. For now he would stay here on the shore of the pond where the master could sense them.

Trystor Looked at the startled Boskor. "Are you OK?" Trystor asked him. As he noticed it was too quiet. He looked at the weather off in a distance He saw lighting possibly an approaching storm. He remembered the last time he was in the fringe and Alderain. There were some areas that were prone to tornado activity. "Could it be that incoming storm? I am not liking this either. Last time it was this still we had tornadoes on my home world.

Back at the Farmhouse

Jerking up allowing the bedsheets to drop away from his sleeping form, Blake felt a deep sheet of sweat droplets dripping down his flesh as he took the opportunity to take in a few deep breaths using his own teachings from the Academy to help calm his nerves that had been building ever since he and Erysa had gotten inside and settled down for the night ready for the next morning.

Sure his fiancee had been able to settle down to a easy sleep after Blake had gone about cuddling up behind her wrapping his arms around her drawing her close to him as he kissed her gently seconds before he heard her fall into a deep slumber. It took him longer to slip into a sleep, probably not as deep as his love was enjoying right now, but it was sleep none the less.

If Erysa would've asked him why he was still up, he probably had no idea how to really respond to it knowing full well that when he was in the academy one thing the master never taught him or any of them were how to respond to true love so all of this that was happening to them was a completely new concept to him. He had to laugh as he realized that she would've said the same thing as she probably never been in a similar situation so it will be something that they could experience together.

Looking down at her sleeping form as she continued to rest there undisturbed by his sudden movements of waking up and moving about only shifting slightly before resuming her sleep. Offering a slight smile toward her once more, Blake slowly got to his feet grabbing his robes as he slipped out of the room wanting to take a stroll and see how everyone was doing considering on how his mind was elsewhere.

Gritten

Hanoch grinned at Resquar,"Lets get going." leading the way to a horse drawn buggy. "Don't know if you've been in one of these before, I've done so. Lily said we'd be able to use it to get around."

On the way there, Hanoch didn't talk much, just looking at the scenery, lost in thought. When they arrived in town he guided the horse to where there was a livery hand waiting outside of the local bar.

The sign above read, "The Thranta's Nest, a old metallic silhouette of a thranta over what looked to be a nest.

Hanoch smiled hearing the noise coming from inside.

"Looks like its a great place to hear local gossip and get a few drinks." Hanoch stepping inside the swinging saloon doors.

In the far corner of the room was a piano, with a redhaired woman playing the ivories, beside her was a dapper looking gent, his hair slicked back and wearing a belt with two holstered revolvers.

He looked up towards the newly arrivals, taking in their measure then went back to keeping watch over the piano player.

Hanoch remarked quietly to Resquar. "I see a mix of old style weapons and some energy weapons. Still old style compared to what we are carrying. Is this the place that time forgot?"

Shaking his head, Hanoch bellied up to the bar, and ordered a drink, giving a wink at one of the other girls that were there serving up the drinks.

"Nice place." he said quietly,taking the drink and sipping it, while getting a better look around the saloon. His eyes paused on a Cathar, just something about that being, for some reason caught his attention. Hanoch could place a finger on it but just something about him...

Boskor looked at Trystor and removed the shield. "Not sure how to answer that. I awoke from dreamland with dreams I be embarrassed to share with others. I know you think I am stronger in the force, but even the force conceals from me things. Honestly I don't know enough about the planet to say we are in for a rough storm." walking over to the edge of the water.

Focusing on the inner tubes using telekinesis he caused the tubes to come to the edge of the pond where he stood. Pulling them out of the water he took one and placed it by the huge Oak, then proceeded with the second one stacking it on top of the other. Looking at the rope he caused it to wrap tightly around the branch. The hand pump he put inside the opening of the inner tubes

"I think the tubes will be fine for now. If a storm does start to come I will deflate them and store them in my locker in the bunkhouse. Should severe weather arrive I hope the young ones are not caught out in it. Hope those in Gritten are braced for it.

He pushed the comlink on his wrist. "Master Finshall to Loomis Quest do you read me." listening to static coming over his com.

"This is Loomis Quest go ahead." came a reply.

"Jogger I don't know what is going on, but we maybe in for a storm of which type and severity I haven't a clue.
Are you seeing anything from your position?" He asked.

"Now that you mention it , its very quiet, a few clouds in the sky. Do you think this is the calm before the storm master?" the droid asked.

"Could be, cannot say for sure. Just be aware one could be on the way. Wouldn't hurt to batten down the hatches so to speak. Make sure vision stays inside, last thing I want is him carried off in a strong wind or worse. You better stay inside as well. Most likely nothing you can do outside anyway. The ships will probably weather the storm. Shut down all unnecessary functions of the ship including communications just in case this is some electrical storm. Vision can still receive my transmissions and should be safe inside the ship. Just don't let him hook up to any ship systems until you hear from me." feeling he covered everything he could think of at the moment.

"Master it will be done. Are you sure you will be alright at the farm?" sounding somewhat concern in his metallic voice.

"Farm has been here for quite a while Jogger. I believe it will be here for sometime yet. We will be okay just do those things I asked and you two should be alright as well. I have to go now will talk later if necessary. Finshall out" as he shut off the comlink.

Boskor smiled and looked Trystor. "My friend how about buying me a cup of coffee?" pointing in the direction of the house.

Lily's Farm
JP Ashla and Syndar.

The moon was full the night before, with Ashla having gone outside to do some shadow sparring, beneath the starry sky. Her mind was tumultuous, and she sought peace in her katas, wanting to know why she has been having rotten luck in keeping a jedi master. Was there something wrong with her?

Deciding to let that thought go out of her mind, and giving into the flow of the force, the dance like steps as she did her meditative routine, she felt the worries and dismay disappear.

When at peace, Ashla found a place to sleep underneath the jewel like stars.

Morning came the sun rose, she wandered more, exploring the woods nearby. Foraging for her breakfast, she found edible berries and a fresh running stream to quench her thirst. Ashla sighed in contentment, feeling free from her former cares. It had come to her during the night in her dreams that perhaps she might actually be able to become a jedi knight.

With that in mind, she headed back to Lily's place.

After leaving Rade on the roof of the barn, Syndar decided to do some more roaming around, just going where the force led him. There he saw Ashla coming out of the woods.

"Hi, we've not spoken to each other since you've joined. In case you don't know. My name is Syndar, I'm Blake's padawan."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Ashla." giving him a smile.

"So... what do you think about this place? And what do you think about the departure of Grey and Eld?"

Ashla sighed, "Eh its a little bit hard. Kind of threw me for a loop."

Syndar nodded, "It was a bit of a shock to me as well. Do you think anyone else will be leaving?"

"Maybe."

"What do you mean?"

"I think that there will be some others who might be needing to go look for others who have the Force." Ashla explained.

"Well there aren't that many I would think and with those who were with Anakin, they might be looking as well, and will take those left and twist them to the darkside."

"True."

Syndar matched his steps with Ashla as they walked back towards the farmhouse.

"I wonder if Mira would make some of us Jedi Knights, I am tired of being just a padawan, and we need more knights, that's my thinking."

Ashla glanced over towards Syndar. "I agree, I would like to be a Jedi knight as well.Maybe that is why I keep on losing my masters, maybe its a sign for me to be a Jedi Knight"

"Maybe so." Syndar replied. "I'm hungry, lets go see if Lily will give us something to eat and see if we can find some of the others."

"Sure, that sounds good." giving Syndar a playful tap on his shoulder. "Tag you're it." giving a laugh and running away.

Syndar was surprised then laughed as well, heading after her with his easy lope. Ashla was a fun girl, wish he had known about this before.

The two of them made it inside laughing, catching sight of Boskor and Trystor.

"Hi there, have you found Mira yet?"

Ashla went over to where Lily had sandwich fixings already set up for her guests.

"I'm starving" she said, making herself a thick sandwich with the fixings."Hi there Boskor and Trystor."

JP Jared Call and Cassandra

The night before, Jared was thinking deeply. of the Jedi Code. Parts of it, make that one part bothered him a lot. It was that of Jedi's not being able to get married.

Most of the night he lay in his bed, in the darkness staring up at the ceiling, his hands clasped beneath his head. His thoughts went to Cassandra, the woman he freed from her cryosleep. He had feelings for her and yet according to the Jedi Code they couldn't have anything happen between them. This frustrated Jared, he wanted to have love, and a family. It just didn't make any sense at all.

He knew that Mira and Fel got married, the Jedi Master having revealed it to the others. And apparently it had been kept secret from the Jedi Council. Jared wrestled with his thoughts until sleep finally came to him.

Morning came and there was a knock on his door.

Jared quickly woke up, rolling out of the bed into a battle stance. He wasn't familiar with where he slept and was feeling slightly paranoid.

The knock came again and a voice could be heard,

"Jared, are you awake?" It was Cassandra.

"Its unlocked, come on in." Jared answered, relaxing his stance.

The door opened and Cassandra stepped inside, "Hopefully I didn't wake you."

"It was time for me to wake up. I thought you were someone else trying to come in and kill me. but I recognized your voice."

Cassandra's eyes widened. "I'm glad I wasn't that person in your dream, it wouldn't have been good."

Jared nodded and smiled. "What is on your mind Cassandra?" motioning to a chair nearby, he closing the door behind her.

"I was wondering something, what is going to happen once my quest is at an end?" Cassandra looking at him.

Jared shrugged, "I don't know what is going, to be happening once it ends As far as I know there will be more danger, and the possibility of being hunted down."

Cassandra took in a shuddering breath, "things seem to have become worse since I was placed in the cryochamber. And so much life has passed me by. I was wondering, do they still follow the code like they had before this time.?"

Jared sighed.

"Before Order 66 was sent out, the Jedi Code has been followed. No Jedi being able to marry except for certain circumstances as in the person being the last of their line."

Cassandra nodded. "And how do you feel about this?"

Jared was quiet for a moment, then he answered carefully."I don't like that part at all. I feel that it has led to the downfall of the Jedi, not being able to have children to continue on the line where it is strong in the force. And to separate us from things that would be positive for us."

Cassandra frowned slightly. "It is the code and a love interest could lead things towards the darkside as well, but love can lead you back to the lightside" she stared down at her hands as she continued.

"I had too much time in the cryochamber, realizing that there was possibly a chance a really good chance that I wouldn't be found. I didn't want to die without knowing what it is like to have a family. My own family as far as I know, may not be alive anymore." she looked up at Jared."I believe the force directed you to find me."

"Maybe so."

"Do you think after my quest is done, that I can stay around with you?" Cassandra shyly asked. " And would an older woman bother you?"

"I don't have a problem with that" a gentle look in his eyes, and smile.

"I want you to know, that I like you very much." Cassandra quietly said.

"I like you too" Jared said

Cassandra rose from the chair she was sitting on, walked towards Jared, giving him an embrace.

Jared was surprised at this, he didn't know what to say, but his arms knew what to do, wrapping them around Cassandra and holding her close. It felt very nice.

"We should go find Mira and see about us getting the quest done." Cassandra softly speaking. She didn't want to end the warm embrace but there was the fact they had a job to do.

Jared nodded and the two of them left to go find Mira.

Boskor looked up from the coffee cup and smiled. "Well haven't seen you two around in a while. Asking for Mira, haven't seen her since this morning. Hanoch and Resquar I believe are in Gritten, wanting to paint the town. As for the rest of the group not sure. So Ashla and Syndar have you been doing anything exciting?" He asked, taking a bite of the sandwich he made.

He wondered where Mira was too, but felt the Jedi Master probably wanted time to herself still before the temple trip. After all the group could be a hand full. Took a sip of coffee while the two looked over the sandwich fixings. He grinned at the size of Ashla's sandwich wondering where the Togruta put it all. Couldn't help but laugh while covering his mouth before those stunning onyx eyes beamed in upon him. He had seen younglings do about the same aboard his ship. Ashla and Syndar were two beings he kind of took liking to in the group.

Trystor
returning from the pond

Trystor looked at Boskor a moment. "those feeling are natural and are not to be ashamed of. I get those feeling myself from time to time." Trystor said quietly as he watched Boskor putting the stuff up for now.

trystor picked up his towel and sword while and kept quiet during his call. After he was finished with his call. Boskor smiled and looked at him then he spoke. "My friend how about buying me a cup of coffee?" As he pointed in the direction of the house. "Why sure it would be an honor." Trystor said kindly as they started towards the house.

"And I wont mention your dreams to no one." Trystor said quickly and quietly to him so no one would over here.

Boskor smiled as Trystor and him walked to the kitchen. He grabbed several cups while the man poured the coffee then motioned to the dining room. He really didn't want the others to hear, glad at present the dining room was empty except for them. An awkward time that he was going through. Sitting at the table he turned to turn Trystor.

"You are somewhat older than I am. I don't mean... really old, but you had more experience when it comes to women... right? Maybe I should explain." He said.

"Until recently I have been small in size. My physical growth apparently stunted, even my sister seemed to be overshadowing my height. Yuck, despite quite a few years difference in age, she's younger. For a while I didn't get much to eat and being underground in enclosed quarters probably didn't help. Didn't see much sunlight, that was a rough time on Yelsia. I try not to really think about it. My master thought it was a little comical, not that he was mean about what I seemed to be experiencing. He was an older man and dealing with puberty in boy must have been frustrating for him as well. I started noticing different things not just changes in my body, but things around me. All of the sudden I'm paying attention to the opposite sex. Didn't know why, never even heard of puberty before. Noticing things I hadn't seen before even though they were always there... weren't they? With the death of my master I've been thrown into adulthood, not that I am not becoming an adult, but dealing with my ship, training, new master and really a new way of life. Believe me I had to step up and become an adult on Atzerri for Nuana's sake. Her a youngling looking up to me expecting me to save the day. That was new! In the past my master always protected me. Association with others strongly discouraged and frankly I am not sure if it was because he felt I might hurt them with my new found powers in the force. Most likely it was because he didn't want me to be distracted from my training. He always kindly reminded me I had to make up for lost time. Not saying he was a slave driver, but he instilled within me a desire to succeed through my training with the ultimate goal to take the trials. Now he won't see me do that.

These feelings Trystor they are strong. I just feel... so much. With the changes I no longer have to fear someone because they are bigger than me. I like that, I can protect myself now. Believe me that wasn't always the case. A women what am I to do. I never saw my father raise a hand to my mother or my sisters the whole time he was alive. He treated my mother like a queen and my sisters like they were princesses. Yet I may have to fight them or die. Not them exactly, but you know what I mean.


They are different, I cannot really explain it. I am not even sure if they think like we do. All soft and smelling nice. Their smiles, that's what really gets me, It causes me to melt inside. All of this playing havoc with me not being able to concentrate on my training. Not that I am sure where I am at in my training. My master became preoccupied by the trip to Atzerri, that trip to the temple seemed more important than the others. I never knew why. Now I have Mira, a female. Beautiful, I know she is married and he must be quite a guy too. She nice enough and in time I might get know her and maybe she will be a friend. I didn't want to come to her about this, it is embarrassing, at least to me." He stopped as he saw Ashla and Syndar walk into the dining room.

Rising from his chair he grabbed a plate and proceed to make himself a sandwich. He looked at Trystor hoping the man understood where he was coming from. Right now he settle for a sandwich and coffee. He give the man time to collect his thoughts and hear what he had to say when things were private. He heard the two address him and Trystor.

Trystor was going to answer Boskor as the others came in. “Hello you two missed ya at the pond. I and Boskor had a cool refreshing dip.” Trystor said calmly to them. “could you please make me a couple of sandwiches Boskor?” He asked him politely.
Moving away from the subject of discussion that him and Boskor were having they would have to chat later about that. He took another sip of coffee. “what have you two been doing?” Trystor asked kindly to Ashla and Syndar.

Rai chuckled again and nodded "You know what, when ever she needs me she'll probably know where I am before I do." He smiled "So tell me 'bout your self." Rai said making conversation as he approached Audyn.

"Well for starters, though I may not look it I'm Corellian." Audyn answered raising his blue colored hands. "Not so much as what the name brings to mind as far as appearance but my earliest memories are of the world. I never knew my parents, but I didn't lack for an education let me assure you."

Audyn went on to tell him about Rish, the Farghul he considered his father, being a street urchin which meant doing what had to be done to survive. Recalling Rish's death still weighed on him even though he had avenged the murder and it was obvious in his voice. He told Rai about his years alone thinking he was a skilled thief, not realizing he was tapping the force, the daily struggle to survive to his fateful meeting with the towering white furred Wookie whom he had tried to rob and been caught only to have her change his life by recognizing his force talent and taking him on as her apprentice. He also explained what it meant to be Kal's apprentice that even though she was fair she also demanded much from her padawans not the least of which was the use of abilities outside the force as though she was a talented healer in the force she believed relying too much on it left most force users helpless in certain situations.

Her death was still an open wound, that would doubtless never fully heal, even though the pride in his voice when he described what it took to bring her down was unmistakable.

Boskor looked at the man and smiled. ?Two sandwiches coming right up Trystor. I?ll get a fresh pot of coffee too.? He said as he rose from the chair and proceeded to make the sandwiches. Making another for himself as well, seem he was hungrier than he had first thought. Glad that the man had noticed that they now had company. He was not worried about the conversation just happy to have someone listen. A relief to tell someone how he felt, knowing he needed to get grip on his feelings.

Placing the plate of two sandwiches before the man and placed the other where he sat. Grabbing the nearly empty pot, he headed to the kitchen to refill it. Sitting the pot down he went to the door and looked outside. If there was a storm, he did not see it. The force still new to him could he been mistaken about some sort of danger. Honestly, he did not know. Well the others were probably waiting his return with the pot. As he came inside, he wondered if Lilly had any pickles. So going to the refrigerator that ran off a steam generator, he noticed a homemade jar of pickle slices. This was great they were sliced length wise to fit on a sandwich. He laughed Lilly quite woman thinking of everything. Well, she raised children and knew what they liked. Going to the huge electric pot he filled the glass pot taken a plate of pickles with him.

Walking back into the dining room smiling he looked at the others. ?Guess what I found? Pickles and already sliced for sandwiches.? He said. Holding the plate next to Troy, he let the man take it while he poured some coffee. Going over to the other two he offer coffee as well then pour himself some.

?Really good to see you two if I may ask and if it is not too personal, will you both become Jedi Knights soon you think?? He asked, sitting with his eyes wide wondering.

Trystor Watched Boskor carefully making sure all was OK. He seemed more relaxed then stresses from the swim and our brief chat. "Thank you Boskor I appreciate that." Trystor said quickly as he left to make the sandwiches and coffee.

He noticed Boskor return with a grin ear to ear. Trystor was about to guess what he had before Boskor beat him to the guessing part of the game. Boskor Blurted out Pickles! "Awe I was wanting to guess??" Trystor was acting disappointed which he failed miserably at the attempt. Meir moments later He busted out with a laugh.

"Pickles?? Its been a while since i had one." Trystor said as he was handed the plate and sat it down on the table for all to enjoy. As he seen Boskor walk over and offer the others some coffee.Trystor grabbed one quickly before anyone else got one.

Trystor wondered the same question that Boskor said quickly. He waited quietly for them to answer.

Rai nodded at the information Audyn had given him it was always hard to lose a mentor or a parental figure especially when a person was young. Ii am sorry for your losses." Rai mentioned when Audyn told him about his losses.

Not to change the subject but more as to show something in common with Audyn Rai stated about discovering his force sensitivity "That's kind of how I was. When I'd spar or actually fight some one it always seemed like they were telegraphing their attacks from a long ways away. By the time I was ten I was easily keeping up with my instructors in full combat intensity spars. It's wasn't till a few years ago that I started to try to figure all this out."

"Gone they maybe, but forgotten...never." Audyn replied with a nod at Rai's sympathy. "Though Rish wasn't force sensitive his teachings are always with me and if I can pass that on to another then his legacy will live on and Kal is always with me in her teachings and in the force."

Audyn half grunted half laughed. "Had it not be for them and their teachings I wouldn't be here now as it took both of the skill sets I learned from them to steal my ship, evade the clones both on the surface and in orbit. I still have no idea how I ended up with her lightsaber in my hand but I've always kept it as a sort of remembrance." Audyn pulled out Kal wookie sized lightsaber and the brilliant white blade flashed into existence for a moment before vanishing back into the hilt which then vanished within his clothes.

"Truth be told I'm more of a scholar then a fighter. Don't get me wrong I can hold my own but knowledge has always been my first love, another thing they woke in me." Audyn paused for a moment. "So what about yourself would you like to share?"

Sitting the pot down he went to the door and looked outside. If there was a storm, he did not see it. The force still new to him could he been mistaken about some sort of danger. Honestly, he did not know. Well the others were probably waiting his return with the pot. As he came inside, he wondered if Lilly had any pickles. So going to the refrigerator that ran off a steam generator, he noticed a homemade jar of pickle slices. This was great they were sliced length wise to fit on a sandwich. He laughed Lilly quite woman thinking of everything. Well, she raised children and knew what they liked. Going to the huge electric pot he filled the glass pot taken a plate of pickles with him.

Walking back into the dining room smiling he looked at the others. ?Guess what I found? Pickles and already sliced for sandwiches.? He said. Holding the plate next to Troy, he let the man take it while he poured some coffee. Going over to the other two he offer coffee as well then pour himself some.

?Really good to see you two if I may ask and if it is not too personal, will you both become Jedi Knights soon you think?? He asked, sitting with his eyes wide wondering.

He wasn't trying to be nosey just that he respected the two older Padawans. Looked up to them. They seemed to know so much more than him. Maybe he was being too much a child by asking, it just felt that leaving adulthood momentarily he could deal with life. Patience why was it so hard. Well he had another sandwich even Ashla must of found it funny that he had laughed at her and here now he was having another not that she did. The two looked engrossed in each other if they wished to answer his question they would. The coffee still good as he took a sip and took of bite of the new sandwich.

Jo'Karn slowly nursed his drink while pondering his current state of affairs. While he typically did not question the Force, it seemed as if the reason he was here in this out of the way settlement was not going to make itself easily apparent.

Taking a slow deep breath, the Cathar lowered his forhead to rest gently against the rim of his glass and exhaled, casting his consciouness out into his surroundings, open and carressing, seeking the gentle touch of kindred spirits.

Almost immediately something touched him, a chill that raced it's way up his spine and led him to open his eyes as he looked up from his glass, meeting the gaze of a being seated across the room from him.

It was unexpected, and almost painful as the Force did not appreciate his doubts and impatience... who was this watching him? Had the Jedi been found again by his enemies?

Trystor sat there quietly as he ate his sandwiches and pickle in the uneasy quiet. He felt weird but not sure why? As he looked around the room a moment. "Thank you again for the sandwiches." trystor said politely to him as he stood up and took his plate into the kitchen and washed them up quickly and took a look outside the door to see what the weather was like.

There were a few clouds on the horizon and they looked like good rain clouds he thought to himself. As he grabbed a few cookies from the cookie jar Placed them on a plate for him and the others to enjoy. "Here's some cookies for all to enjoy as he placed the large plate of cookies in the center of the table for whoever wanted one.

Boskor smiled as Trystor returned holding a plate of cookies. Sounded like a good way to finish off the sandwiches he had. So he helped himself to several. Only one thing that missing and having milked them this morning he knew that there was fresh milk in the refrigerator. Somehow cookies and coffee didn't seem to mix to him. Cold and delicious fresh milk would though. So he grabbed four glasses and the pitcher of milk out of the frig. Putting them on a tray he carried them inside for all to enjoy.

'I enjoy coffee as much as the next person, but with cookies the only way to enjoy them is with ice cold milk fresh from the cow. My opinion of course you welcome are to join me should you choose. I will leave it here to help yourselves." He said sitting down once again.

He tried reaching out with the force, but felt nothing for certain. If there was something going on he couldn't sense it. Relaxing he took his cookie and a sip of milk. The two tasted so good and glad Trystor had thought of it.

He wonder how the two were doing in town. Had they found mischief yet. He had seen some good pirate brawls on the asteroid. Never participated in them though. Not that he had been chicken to do so just forbidden by the old man from doing so. That old pirate ruled with an iron hand which best not crossed.

He looked at Trystor smiled then smiled at the other two.

"Thank you!" he was quickly as he grabbed a glass and poured himself some milk. Trystor was stilling was feeling uneasy it has not seemed to stop. As he munched oh his cookies and sipping his milk.

Boskor watched as he placed the milk and glasses on the table. Troy wasted no time pouring himself some milk and enjoying a cookie. The hush silence of the room disturbs him. Even his friend seemed reflective on something perhaps what they both had experienced earlier in the day. He had no idea if Sasha or Syndar had felt the disturbance or was even concerned about the weather seemingly gathering outside.

He checked him comlink no messages received from the little droid. Therefore, that erased his fears about the ship. Still no idea what was happening in Gritten.

?If no one has any objection to cleaning up after them I am going to the bunkhouse and lay down. All that I gone through today has worn me down. Should Mira want me that is where I will be. It was good seeing you Sasha and Syndar and a blast with you at the pond Trystor. When it is convenient we will talk again.? He said rising from his chair taking his plate and glass to the kitchen to wash.

It was getting early evening as he stepped to the door after having cleaned his dishes and putting them away. Dark clouds were continuing to form and a good chance of rain in the forecast. He stood in the doorway reaching out with the force.

"Truth be told I'm more of a scholar then a fighter. Don't get me wrong I can hold my own but knowledge has always been my first love, another thing they woke in me." Audyn paused for a moment. "So what about yourself would you like to share?"
Rai smiled and replied "Me, I come from a planet that on a warm day, during a global warming period, on a heat wave, in the summer is negative twelve centigrade. But, it is rich in mineral resources. There were two founding species there, us the Zabraks and the Echani, later on a clan of Mandalorians became part of the colony. I grew up learning how to fight from all three. My colonies main export is well mercenaries." Rai chuckled and continued "Like I said before I always thought people were telegraphing their attacks with me until a few years ago when I met General Kale. And after a fight where he stalemated me and two of my friends I was able to finally to drop a glacier on him...and from time to time we meet up again and again usually tearing apart a large chunk of the geography by the end of out meeting. That's part of why i'm here."

Trystor listened to Boskor as he stood and gathered his dishes then headed off to the kitchen. Trystor followed behind and washed up his dishes quickly as he noticed Boskor looking out at the horizon. He dried his dishes quickly and walked closer to Boskor. "Is everything alright?" He asked as he looked at the storm brewing.

Trystor got goose bumps as he attempted to shake it off.

Lily's Farm
Dining Room
Early afternoon.

Boskor looked up from the coffee cup and smiled. "Well haven't seen you two around in a while. Asking for Mira, haven't seen her since this morning. Hanoch and Resquar I believe are in Gritten, wanting to paint the town. As for the rest of the group not sure. So Ashla and Syndar have you been doing anything exciting?" He asked, taking a bite of the sandwich he made.

"Well, Mira will probably show up. Syndar had been wandering around and found me, this place is incredible." Ashla taking another bite of her sandwich.

She noticed that Boskor seemed to be a little bit distracted, she hadn't a clue as to why he was. Though, he was certainly gazing at her for some long moments. Ashla was clueless.

When he came back from the kitchen with Trystor, Ashla tried to answer his question as for being knights.

"You see, Syndar and I are going to go talk to Mira just about that subject." she began.

And the subject jumped to pickles.

Ashla blinked, she was getting confused as to what was going on. So much so that she ended up going quiet, concentrating on eating, this was a really good lunch. She looked over towards Boskor, as he made his excuses to leave the dining room. He was a bit impetuous and quick to move. All she could do was make a motion with her hand giving him a wave goodbye.

Around the mouthful of food she stated, "I'll see you around then."

She watched as both Boskor and Trystor yet again left the diningroom. Turning to look at Syndar, she asked.

"Do you have any idea what is going on?"

Lily's Farm
Mid Afternoon
Mira and Rade, JP

After her lesson on teaching the younger ones a small lesson on having fun, Mira quietly left the pond to walk around the farm a bit more. She stopped to gaze out over the emerald green rows of corn, thinking back to when she was here last. It was right after a storm ten years ago. Thinking of that, she remembered having taken off her shoes to wade in a puddle. She looked around, not seeing any available puddle, maybe after this storm that was approaching she will indulge.

With hint of moisture in the air and the dark clouds that were approaching, Mira was starting to think they wouldn't be heading off towards the temple until maybe tomorrow. She turned around leaning back against the wooden fence, letting the quietness of the area seep into her soul.

"I do believe there is a storm coming." Rade appeared balencing atop of the fence, moving along it from the barn. "What kind of storm, I'm not exactly sure." She crouched near Mira, the Amaran looking somewhat confused.

"One never knows what sort of storm will come about. It was ten years ago when I was here last. Fel and I had gotten a relic we were to take back to the Temple on Coruscant. It had been the ring belonging to a Dark Jedi sorceror, named Tylanth Mardey. He was very active, and in fact he had possessed me while we were dealing with making a crash landing.

It was upon this planet a long way from here, where a battle was fought to save me from turning to the dark side. I did step into the darkness only to teach that sorceror a lesson, I almost put him into permanent oblivion. He was trying to push me out and send me there. He lost, I didn't destroy him, and neither did Fel. Tylanth agreed to go back inside that ring." Mira looked at Faaral.

She Faaral raised an eyebrow. "That ring is why were are here?"

"The ring isn't here anymore it was at the Temple and now he has been released. The reason why we are here is to help Cassandra take the relics whic belong to all sides of the Force, Lightside, Darkside and one Grey side. There is a temple here a rather old one, of which about a cenrury or more ago was to have been delivered here. Cassandra was the last of her group and had been placed in Cryosleep for quite sometime. She had been found on Da Soocha."
ymela_dreamer: " In other words, in order to be free from her task, she has to deliver them there."

The Amaran nodded thoughtfully. "I see." She paused. "I want to ask you something. Back when I was a Padawan in the Temple, I had it hammered into me time and time again 'the Dark Side is wrong', 'the Dark Side leads to madness'... You know my current Master has shown me otherwise. It seems recently that... there has been many exposed to it. I can sense it, now that I am open to such things, that many here in this little group of yours have expirenced the Darkness welling up within them uncontrolled. Why so many?" She frowned, looking confused. "They fear it. I can understand that, but so many, collected in one location..."

Mira contemplated on this, then said quietly. " I do believe part of it is being so... cloistered inside the temple that they may not have had the chance to confront it.

Or another part is from their backgrounds. Almost everyone has had a brush with the darkside, except for, Syndar, Ashla Dobby and perhaps one or two more. It is the worry of losing control. I sometimes call myself gray but in truth I maybe more towards the lighter side of the force. This order that has been sent out, about destroying those of the force had sent them into a tailspin and they are now trying to make sense out of a world of chaos. They have been taught that love is wrong, that they can not have someone they can love."

"Well make that not being able to love someone and be with them in a relationship."

She nodded slowly, thoughtfully, recalling her Master talking of such and the look in her eyes. "I think I can understand that." She gave a weak smile. "Perhaps it is good my Master found me then. Or I'd be insane... or dead..." She shifted, sitting on the fence instead of perched on it. "I have been taught that the Dark Side isn't evil in itself. A lack of understanding has made it seem that way. People are naturally emotional creatures, to ignore that as the Jedi Code says is simply unnatural. But these emotions also lead those who do not have self-control to reach for power quickly. They see the prize on the far side of the dark path and reach for it, not understanding they must work toward that power. They step off blindly into the darkness... and trip." She smiled.

"Understanding both sides of the Force knowing that there are consequences in using the Force for dark purposes can add a bit of negativity to the soul to where it can contort and twist a person. Its a fine line that people can tend to dance upon. "

"It is a matter of choice and I feel that people need to realize that there are darkside to themselves as well as a light side. And all isn't lost if one does trip."

"I tripped recently." Rade frowned, looking away. "But I caught myself. My Master was proud that I did, that I did not lose myself in the Darkness and was able to step back onto the path. It is a slow process, one I intend to complete." She looked toward the farmhouse. "So much has been lost, we have quite a bit to get back."

"Yes, so much has been lost, too many people. All we can do is take one day at time and develop new skills, and not become complacent. Fel and I didn't think some of the rules that were put in place were all to wise. And the same for our Teacher. I do like the jedi knights who were of Corellia, they seemed to have more of a finger to the pulse of what was going on. Though I can not say that I didn't like Yoda, he was truly a being who had a sense of humor, and he loved the younglings." smiling

Rade snorts in return. "I found him annoying, and sometimes hard to understand."

"yes the way he talked could be confusing, but I accepted it as the way he was. " Mira chuckling

She gave a weak smile. "He was pretty good at teaching Form I for the Lightsaber." A pause. "So we're here to take this... what was her name? To this temple then."

"Cassandra, yes, and also I was glad we were coming here to do some training as well, in a place that was off the beaten track. Plus, I felt directed in coming here. The Force was calling me in this direction. Maybe I have some unfinished business here." her eyes going thoughtful.

"Perhaps." She nodded, looking thoughtful. "We all have our destiny to fulfil, Light or Dark. I only hope for me and Dobby it doesn't end with us crossing blades."

"you are concerned about that. I do not know what her destiny will be. Our fates are never written in stone. Will she turn to the dark side? Will she be on the lightside. Will you be turning more to the lightside, will you and she balance each other out.? She really loves you like a sister. I can tell. She also has a strength inside as well. And so do you."

Rade shrugs. "We will have to see. So. When are we leaving for the Temple?"

Mira looked up at the sky with the clouds dark and fat with rain. "From the look of it, probably tomorrow morning. I've been in one of the storms here, and no Thranta is going to want to fly in this sort of weather."

She nodded and hopped off the fence. "I'd best turn in then."

"I would like to know something before you head off to your room, would you like to do a little bit of sparring?" Mira being very serious about this.

She paused, an earflicking. "Oh?"

" Not right now if you do not want to, but, its something I haven't had the chance to do. Did you know I was denied in having you as a student?"

Rade shook her head. "I did not know that." She frowned, looking throughtful.

"Yes, I wasn't too happy about the decision. I felt we could have done well together. It though was felt that, I needed to train another person. It got to where I was arguing, and it came close to my almost being thrust out from the order. Then came a vision, from my former master who told me that I needed to accept what was decided, for now. He told me once again that there was a reason why I had to be there and I could not go away. It was difficult but I did see the reason. I am truly sorry I wasn't able to be there for you." Mira actually misty-eyed on this part.

The young Amaran frowned and nodded. "I understand. Things happen for a reason." She placed a hand on Mira's shoulder. "We all have our roles to play, or so my current Master tells me."

"At times the reasons are not known until once it happens. Once the issuing of Order 66, I didn't realize the reason why I was meant to stay until this all happened."

Mira giving a light smile.

"We all found our next step in the paths we have chosen with this turn of events." She shuddered and glanced up at the clouds.

Mira perked her head up, sniffing the wind, she caught the scent of rain being swept towards them, "time to get back." hearing the distant thunder and the flash of lightning in the clouds "I hope this doesn't last three days."

Rade nodded and turned toward the barn. "I will see you tomorrow."

Mira gave a nod. "And thank you for coming to talk. It was nice."

Rade smiled and sauntered back to the barn.

"Fled with a price on your head did you?" Audyn asked with a slight grin thinking this Zabrak might be willing to teach him allowing him to expand his combat skills. "Joining up with us and learning to use the Force just added another."

"Dobby!" said Greystar. "You're almost impossible to find anymore. We're getting together a swim party over at the pond, and I know you'd probably like to come along. Hi, Nuana, would you like to come along? It'd be the perfect way to cool off."

He was carrying a package. "And I have something for you, Dobby. You remember Master Goloft? The one who was training us when all of this happened. How he gave his life to protect us from Anakin?

Well, he entrusted his lightsaber to me, to remember him by, until I was able to make one of my own, and pass it on to another. I know now who." He took out Goloft's lightsaber. "Dobby, I'd like you to have it. It's a tool, not a toy, but I know you've trained hard. I can think of nobody better to pass it along to." holding it out to the little Gran.

Dobby was stunned, looking at the lightsaber Cazak was holding out to her.

"Really? For me? Are you certain you don't want to keep it?"

Nuana smiled at Dobby, "I think he is serious, Dobby. Congratulations. Its something to be cherished."

She turned her attention to Cazak. "I'll pass on the swim in the pond, I'm going to go find Audyn, he's probably wondering where I am at." she turning to go on her way.

A few steps away, then she turned to say to Cazak.

"Keep watch over her, Cazak. Something or someone seems to have found Dobby really interesting." giving an enigmatic smile and continued on.

Dobby looked at Nuana, then shook her head. She knew what Nuana was talking about. However, Dobby didn't think she was that important on any scale.

She accepted the blade, with awe in her voice she said, "Thank you." then hugged Cazak tightly. "I don't know what else to say."

"You said all you needed to say, Dobby." said Greystar. "I could think of nobody else I could pass it on to"

He looked at the retreating Nuana, then back at Dobby. "The swim time is over anyway, as I feel a storm coming. But do you know what she was talking about? And anything I can do? But then, I'm hungry, and you probably are as well. We can talk as we go to the dining hall to find something to eat." He smiled at her.

Rai smiled and shook his head saying "No price on my head from him. He want's revenge and is jealous for it so he uses his resources to track me down. It's our own private war." He chuckled and continued "As far as the empire is concerned you would be surprised at how many fringe worlds are keeping them busy. Now I aint saying that we wont be hunted but we aren't the only ones fighting this fledgling empire."

Than Rai giggled "But hey if the wants to gets its butt kicked by sending a garrison to my colony that'll be fun to watch."

Resquar didnt have to be Force-sensitive to know something was wrong. She looked over at Hanoch then to the Cathar and back again. She kept one hand on a blaster just in case. But what? She looked inquiringly to Hanoch.

JP btwn Audyn and Nuana (this happens after Audyn and Rai's talk)


Audyn moved about the farm, not realy going anyplace but just letting his feet carry him and letting his mind wander at it own whims.

Nuana trotted away from the dining room, seeking Audyn, deciding that she'd use the force to guide her to him, she closed her eyes to concentrate then follow. The air felt cool, filled with moisture, the breeze ruffling her fur. She found Audyn well almost runningn into him,having not had opened her eyes until she felt him near.

Audyn chuckled as his apprentice nearly collided with him. He had felt her familiar prescence searching for him and had briefly considered hiding from her to see how she would fare but decided against it as she had had enough deceptive masters in her life. "Even though Master Yoda once said do not trust your eyes they can decieve you it helps to keep them open from time to time." He said placing a hand on her shoulder.

Nuana grinned, "Very true, but also the nose does not lie, well most of the time that is. I have had an interesting day of it, Audyn."

"Really?" Audyn said settling himself on a nearby rock. "Tell me about it."

"Well, you see, I had an awful dream, found myself in Dobby's room. In the dream there was someone there wanting her, thinking she would be a good apprentice for someone dark and terrible. I told the person, that it needed to leave Dobby alone, then it asked me if I were willing to take her place. That was when I was woken up by Dobby, and then I ran away." Nuana taking a breath before she continued, Dobby chased after me and well, I guess you could say we are now on the path of being friends instead of enemies."

"Intresting," Audyn said keeping himself calm though what his apprentice told him bothered him. "You will have to recount this to Master Star. These are unsure times for us all and we must be on our guard." Audyn put that aside for the moment. "Did you complete your task?"

Nuana nodded, "Yes I did, I found it rather intriguing in working on the droid. Hopefully I haven't made too many mistakes."

"So what did you learn?" Audyn asked

"I learned not to put my finger up against a circuitry that still had energy in it, that.. the droid had a personality. and was willing to communicate with me to make certain I was fixing the problem" Nuana stated

Audyn chuckled as he had done that himself a time or two. "Her name is Katie and she is more then a droid she is one of the most loyal friends Ive ever had. Most of the galaxy sees droids as things to posses only but they are more...remember that."

"I shall always remember that, Audyn, beside, I do like Katie. I'm glad she was allowing me to work on her. What do you have next for me to do?"

"What is the force?"

"Its what flows within each person, thing, nature it surrounds us, can be used for both good and bad." Nuana states, standing straight and tall.

"Does it simply exsist?"

"No not to me it doesn't, it is like a living energy, something that pulls us together, or separates us like a river." Nuana stated

"There is truth to that." Audyn said gazing at his student. "The force is created by life. Some view it only as a tool to be used but it can be a teacher as well and those of us blessed enough to touch it carry a great responsiblity."

"What are midi-chlorians? What purpose do they serve?"

"From what I remember they are inside us, which help us to work with the force to do what we can do and learn the skills to help us understand them more." Nuana answered

"What is the Jedi Code?"

"it is rules of conduct that we are to follow. but Audyn, there is some of the code that doesn't seem to be right. That can hurt people, and cause them to become isolated." Nuana stated

"Explain." Audyn said impressed that his apprentice was thinking and not just parroting back what she had heard.

"Well, affection and yet having to be careful about it as well, when you get older. It can from what I have seen, make others feel sad and lonely. When being a youngling not too many pay attention to what we see. yes we need to keep ourselves under control but...isn't love supposed to be a good emotion to have?"

"Asking questions of your Master?" Audyn replied with a stern look that he held just long enough before it dissolved into a grin. "It is the sign of intelligence. Sometimes the older folks get too set in their ways. As to love...it can be a good emotion and a "bad" emotion espically if someone uses that feeling to force you to do something that you know is not right." Audyn said "As a whole the Jedi Code is a good thing, but if something is to rigid it will break instead of bend. Listen and follow your own heart."

Nuana did a quick intake of breath, when he acted so stern but when he broke into a grin, she felt relieved. "I will endeavor to follow my heart and try to adhere to most of the guidance put in the Jedi Code."

"Can you shoot? Pilot? What martial disciplines do you know?"

"I know some fighting tactics, I don't know how to shoot, I'm only six years old and as for martial diciplines um still need work on those. I can read and write, I can set things on fire. " she said.

Audyn chuckled. "I knew how to shoot at your age Nuana, but that is old history. Ill make sure you learn all those things. Have you ever held or wielded a lightsaber?"

"I held my master's old one until it was destroyed by that women who wished me to be her apprentice. I only have the crystal that was part of it, with me."

"May I see it?"

Nuana hands the blue crystal to Audyn. "here, besides the things left of her in the backpack this is all that I have of her."

Audyn holds the crystal and his eyes take an unfocused gaze as he delves into the crystal with the force and then toward Nuana. "You havent bonded it to you yet. You will have to if you wish to use it."

Audyn returned the crystal to her and pulled out his masters. "This was my masters." He said activating it for the second time that day its brilliant white blade humming quietly. "Would you care to hold it?" He asked holding the hilt toward her.

Nuana's eyes grew round, "You'd let me hold it?" accepting it with reverence. "I am honored."

"Becareful with it and be mindful when you feel the need to draw it it will mark you as a Jedi. You should only draw it as a last resort." Audyn said. "Speaking of that we will have to get you set up with some accounts and alternate identities to give you resources to draw on."

"I will be careful. Wait, are you letting me borrow this? Or just let me hold it to get the feel of the saber in my hands."

"The second one." Audyn said. "Kal's saber is too large for me to wield well so I know it would be for you and you still need to learn the basics. A live saber in the hands of an novice can be more dangerous to them then to anyone else. We will make sure to get you some practice equipment."

"I am willing to have the practice one, not a problem with that." Nuana said handing hilt first the saber back to Audyn.

Audyn took the saber and almost at the same time the blade deactivated and it vanished into his clothes. "Show me the moves you know and we will work from there

She nods, showing her moves, Punching, Kicking, forward somersault, and backwards roll. She wasn't quite flowing well with her movements, but at the end she smoothed out.

Audyn watched with a critical eye noting places for improvements.

"Describe yourself to me."

"I am Nuana, a part of the force, a bothan, a youngling, a student."

"More then that. Tell me about "you"."

He asked as he looked at the storm brewing.

Trystor got goose bumps as he attempted to shake it off.

Hearing Trystor's voice he turned around. He didn't really know how to answer the man. Right now he was not sure what the force was trying to tell him.The man had been patient listening to his concerns just as Ashla and Syndar had entered the dining room laughing.

With the man having his own concerns with his dream of being a sex slave. He could see where females might find him attractive. Having been a slave himself, any form of bondage would be cruel and detrimental to anyone experiencing it. For the man to have that concern over his head bad enough, but then to be struggling with the Zabrak Rai.

Was there any peace to be found or would chaos continue to enter his life. At this point he hadn't given up, just didn't clearly see the future.

"I'll be okay Troy. Hope you don't mind me calling you by that name sometimes, it just seems more personal to me than your actual name. Never had a big brother and I guess I kind of look at you that way. Storms come and go and so do troubles in our lives. We will get past these storm clouds I'm sure and tomorrow will seem like a better day. Will you excuse me now as I think it is best to get to the bunkhouse before it does rain. Need to change out of these clothes and take a shower." giving the man a hug before stepping outside and moving swiftly to the bunkhouse.

Trystor listened to him as he looked out over the horizon once more. "Never a problem Boskor and thank you. Its nice to have a friend that's like a brother to me too." Trystor said calmly to him as he watched him and in a bit of a shock as he got a hug an he was gone swiftly off towards the bunkhouse.

All Trystor could do was smile as he came back into the dinning room. And took a seat back where he was for a first time in a while felt peace.

The Thranta's Nest
Hanoch

Hanoch cast a sideways glance towards Resquar, when the doors of the saloon was flung open and several rough looking men, miners possibly, came in.

One had a long coat on, chewing on some sort of black root, took a look around the suddenly silent room. His squinty gaze panned over those there, settling upon the Cathar who was seated by himself.

"Hey Kitty, I've got a bone to pick with you." he stated, walking up towards Jo'karn.

Several people hurriedly moved out of the way at the man's approach, upsetting their chairs in their haste.

Hanoch spoke out of the side of his mouth, watching the men moving towards the Cathar.

"Looks like we're gonna get into some action here Red and its not my doing. I am not going to be standing here and let that guy be outnumbered either. I'm sure he'll be willing to have a helping hand."

The four men surrounded Jo'karn's table, the one chewing on the black root, spat a big glob of ebony, the spittle hitting not too far from the Cathar's paw.

"We don't appreciate your kind here." the black root eating man drawled out, sending a ham sized fist towards Jo'karn's head.

"Looks like we're going to have a little bit of fun!" Hanoch said, moving in closer to get one of the men that were there, just in case.

Rai smiled and gave a bit of a chuckle before replying "He may well bite off more than he can chew. As for the empire blasting our colony from orbit, that's about the only way the could ever possibly win." Twisting and cracking his back he nodded to Audyn "I think i'm going to head back to the farm. You're welcome to come with me."

Rai than started to make his way back towards the farm.

Jo'Karn

Contemplating the providence of the Force as the locals gathered around his table, Jo'Karn allowed himself a flicker of a smile. I should have known better than to question you, my friend.

One of the four humans that were surrounding him, a male with a trickle of pungent vegatable juice dripping off of the tip of his chin decided to take leadership of the intended assault.

"We don't appreciate your kind here." the man growled as he began to swing a large, yet untrained, fist.

Jo'Karn responded by opening himself to the Force. The change in his surroundings was immediate as the movement of everyone dropped to a bare crawl. The power flowing through the Jedi augmented his perception of them to such a degree that reacting to them became almost simple.

The punch arcing toward him was the first thing to deal with. Pushing back in his chair, Jo'Karn allowing himself to fall back over the chair's top rail and to the ground. The unexpected move caused the punch to miss it's target by several inches.

Momentarily on his back, Jo'Karn was not able to resist another quick grin as he watched a comical look of surprise spread across the face of a second male standing behind and to his left. The man was not quick enough and the surprise transitioned into pain as the chair was thrown into him with an audible crunch.

Jo'Karn kicked up into a standing position and faced the leader. "This does not need to escalate any farther sir. I was not aware that this establishment isn't intended for Cathar, I will leave to prevent anyone else from coming to harm."

Continuation of JP btwn Audyn and Nuana


At Audyn's asking of describing herself, Nuana said. "I do not know too much of myself anymore, I am confused not quite knowing who I am."

That is the first step to knowledge...saying I dont know." Audyn said gently. His head cocked to one side as a thought occured to him. "Nuana, is there anyone that would be looking for you? Any family that might be missing you?"

"I am not certain, when I had been taken into the temple, that was the last time I heard from my family. just.. not being able to see my mother or father, none of my siblings. I have three others, its just that, never heard from my family again." Nuana sighed lightly. "I don't know if they have tried to find me."

Typical of the council." Audyn snorted, yes he was Jedi and so had Kal but his masters beliefs had been different from the council. "Radical" had been spoken in hushed tones a few times. "How do you feel about that?"

"I am not happy about it, my master wasn't able to find them. It was as if they had just disappeared vanished. I would have liked to see my siblings again as well as my ,mother. Father is another story."

"Oh, something you wish to share about it?" Audyn asked with interest.

"He left, just up and left one night. Mother wasn't too happy about that happening. He had received some sort of message, delivered by some friend, he just up and left without giving my mother a kiss or hug. "

Audyn was impressed by his pupils clear recognition of memories and filed it her history away for later. He knew it wouldnt be that difficult to locate any of Nuana's genetic kin as it would simply require a DNA sample submitted to the Bothan homeworld.

"Are you angry with him about it?"

"I am hurt by him leaving, and I was mad. It was a little bit later that I was taken away from my mother. Mother didn't cry when I was taken from her. My siblings did but not her. I don't know why" Nuana's shoulders slumping.

"Your sibilings most likely did not understand but Im sure your mother understood that you were to become a Jedi. She and the Jedi who came for you no doubt talked a great deal." Audyn rose and walked over to kneel next to her, lifting her muzzle so that he could look in her eyes. "Besides them that we love never really leave." He continued placing a hand over her heart. "They are always with us."

Nuana nodded, then threw her arms around Audyn. "And you are added to that list of those whom I love and hold in my heart,"

"And you." Audyn chuckled as he returned the embrace letting her hold it as long as she needed.

After a few moments, Nuana released, Audyn from her embrace. "I think its time I get some sleep. The storm is coming and I want to be where I can hear it and smell the fresh scent in the air." smiling.

"As you wish apprentice, but the next time we meet I shall require a demonstration of your force abilities." Audyn said pulling back himself. "And I will warn you now Nuana that your training will exsist as muc in the force as without the force." He said before reaching into his clothing again and producing a comlink. "This is for you, its already linked with mine."

Nuana accepted the comlink, " I do understand. And I am looking forward to the training. Thank you!"

"I'll remind you you said that two weeks after we get really into it." Audyn chuckled as he rose. "Now off with you, and if you have anymore of those dreams we talked about I want to know immediately."

"I certainly will let you know, " Nuana making her promise. before she left. "I think a really good lesson or two will help me get back to what I need to do. Goodnight Master Audyn"

The term Master Audyn was strange in his ears but he would no doubt get used to it. "Good dreams Padawan Nuana."

Giving a nod, Nuana walked away then started skipping as she moved further away.

Audyn couldnt help the smile even as he allowed his eyes to close and delved into the Force with one thought. "Help."

Diningroom
Lily’s Farm
Cazak and Dobby (jp between the two)

"You said all you needed to say, Dobby." said Greystar. "I could think of nobody else I could pass it on to"

He looked at the retreating Nuana, then back at Dobby. "The swim time is over anyway, as I feel a storm coming. But do you know what she was talking about? And anything I can do? But then, I'm hungry, and you probably are as well. We can talk as we go to the dining hall to find something to eat." He smiled at her. ( Just for reference)

“Food sounds fantastic.” Dobby said with a smile and still touch of awe in her voice.

She walked alongside Cazak, silent for a moment or two while she collected her thoughts. She then spoke softly.

“What Nuana mentioned was she had a dream, actually a nightmare where I was concerned. She ended up walking in her sleep to my room and it woke me up. I spoke to her and woke her up from that dream and she took off running. I followed after her and well, come to find out, it seems a darksider is wanting me to fall, to become his or her apprentice. Nuana told the person that wasn’t going to happen, and said person asked if she were volunteering herself. That was when I woke her up. ”

Dobby giving a shudder as she related her story.

“That sounds like a nightmare I’ve been having.” said Greystar. “It was about a darksider trying to recruit me as well. And he had me killing you. It terrified me at the time. But then, I was told those kind of dreams never come true unless I let fear take me.”

“I would like to find out just who this dark sider is that is haunting us in our dreams. Do you think that Mira might know who this person is?” Dobby asked, as they neared the door to the dining room.

“I don’t know, Dobby, we can only ask.” He wondered. He had never seen this darksider in real life.Was this a way to manipulate people? He had sometimes sensed fear in his former hero Anakin, the same fear he had once felt in his dreams. It only fit.

“ I think there is a mystery here.” the young gran commented.
The dining room was quiet, just Dobby and Cazak. “Something certainly smells good, and I am sure Lily wouldn’t mind us foraging in the kitchen.” heading for the door leading there.

Inside the fridge were sandwich fixings, some stew simmering on the stove. Several pies upon the counter as well as drinks. Dobby looked way up towards the counter, deciding to use her leap to get up onto the counter.

“That’s better.” getting a better view.”Though maybe I should have used a stool. Or not.” looking down towards the stool which she would have used but still not been able to see what was up on the counter.

“A piece of pie, a sandwich as well as some stew?”

Cazak looked around. He also leaped up on the counter. “That sounds good.” He could see, and got some bowls and plates by the Force. He brought out some sandwich fixings as well.

“Let’s get started in putting a few sandwiches together.”

With a nod, Dobby, using her telekinesis, brought over the things to make the sandwiches. Loving the fact that she could use it to help herself and Cazak out. In good time between the two they were able to get their food, without assistance from anyone larger than they were.

“I wonder if Yoda did something like this.” Dobby wondered, looking at Cazak.

Greystar laughed. “I don’t know, but I wouldn’t put it by him. He probably did.”

Dobby grinned even broader at that thought.

Taking a look at what they have gathered, Dobby said “This looks great! Lets eat!!”

Trystor sat there quietly as he sipped on his remainder of his small glass of tea. It was fairly quiet a few other were in and out of the room. no one seemed to bother that he was there. He sighed quietly as he looked around once more before he stood. "If your done with your dishes i can take them for you." Speaking to the few that happen to be there.

Lily's Farm

Audyn had been sitting in a secluded section of the farm pouring over the book he had gotten from the temple, the notations in the margins were nearly as informational as the book itself, meditating, reflecting on his own training both before and after Kal, and exploring the few holocrons he had brought with him.

The holocrons had been a task unto itself as he had had to explain what was happening in the present to the different avatars within again and again and even then some had simply refused him access because they deemed him either not advanced enough or that he was lying to them and was sneaking around behind his masters back.

End result was that he chose to combine what he had been able to glean with teaching Nuana to survive in the present galaxy. Instead of dismissing what she had already learned Audyn choose to have her keep practicing the abilities but instead of relying on the negative emotions to trigger and feed them, he didn't want to loose her down the dark path but he also wasn't a stringent follower of what the Old Council deemed "light side", he would attempt to get the same abilities generated and fed by positive or at the very least neutral emotional states.

The biggest task he saw was nurturing her self reliance, something she would need in the present turmoil gripping the galaxy at large, but not to the point of arrogance, refusing help when it was offered, or over estimating her abilities.

dining area

"good night all!"Trystor said calmly to the others if they heard him or not.He grabbed the odd dishes and returned them to the kitchen. quickly cleaned then and put them up after he dried them off. He heard the rain tinging of the tin roof of the porch and the barn.

Trystor decided to head back to the barn alone. He moved slowly so he would not slip on the slippery wet grass from the rain that was falling gently at present.He knew it was going to get worse before the storm was done.

He quietly opened the barn door then closed it after he entered. He quietly made his way to his little haystack he called his for now. And lied down quietly and covered up. He let out a small sigh.as his tension started to melt away.

Even in such a group of people he felt alone at times. He was slowly making new friends which he was glad about. but sometimes he still felt like an outsider. He rolled over and closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

Private location not disclosed.
JP between Boskor and Trystor
Sometime later

He tried again to chat with Boskor about the familiar feelings he was having at the time of these impulses. Remembering back to refresh himself about the comment ~Old Man~. All he could do was smile, thus recalling that he asked about his feelings and women.

"Please forgive me this might be a long speech." Trystor said, with a small laugh.

"I remember you asking about your feelings or desires concerning women. Do I have that right?" Trystor trying to confirm his question.

Boskor nodded in the affirmative and he began to intently listen as the man spoke.

"Yea, the environment can affect the growth of all creatures including you. The lack of food don't help either, plus girls grow and mature quicker than boys most of the time. However that is not an absolute"

He paused to reflect for a moment.

"Normal impulse of life is to someday find a mate and have children. That's one reason you are now more attracted to the opposite sex." Said, Trystor calmly and sincerely as not to make it sounds as a joke.

"As to your previous master I can only surmise. Perhaps he just may not had a way to explain it at that time. As everyone says the force works in mysterious ways." watching the young man's reaction.

"To that perplexing question that was on your mind. Yes, they have always been there, you are just now seeing them differently. Because of the changes going through your body from the brain to your toes. Dealing also with new changes when considering your soul and the spirit of the force." pausing only briefly to continue and answer his earlier questions.

"These desires are hard to deal with at many of times. Some will seek companionship while others with the help of the force can get control of their feelings and desires. Then some simply rape to get what they want." Trystor said sorrowfully.

Staring at the young man looking for comprehension in what had been said.

Boskor bowed his head with disgust upon his face as to the last part of the comment then urged with his hands for the man to continue.

"Of course dealing with death of a friend or a master or even a family member is never an easy thing for that matter. Having to grow up sooner than planned can certainly be a challenge." Trystor said, sincerely.

"New things and situations help you grow and learn from whether getting a vessel or ship to dealing with your training on your own. Dealing with a different master and training styles even if you think they are mean hearted and spirited. New ways of life has it's challenges too! I know you have done fine for yourself so far, in fact a lot more than maybe you conceive, but it is not over yet." Trystor said as a compliment.

Nuana is fortunate to have someone like you. To become a guardian to a youngling has its challenges. Liking cleaning, schooling, medical needs and feeding. I agree that was unusual for you taking on a role not familiar to you, right also they will look up to you for guidance. Sometimes consider you a hero." He continued.

"I honestly don't believe that your powers had any bearing on his decision of association. Most likely he did not want distractions during your training, but association is a normal function of the social interactions of all beings." Troy said quickly.

"He might have been worried about lost time in training you, since you were behind. We agree that he was drilling you to pursue and succeed at anything you did in your training and trials." Trystor said sincerely to him.

"For your master not seeing is wrong. He is one and part of the force. He always sees you and knows what you are doing. Always with you, always." He said to give comfort and maybe some understanding.

"Feelings are good at times, but must learn to control them and their fears so that they don't lead to the dark side." Trystor said.

"Listen to me I should like a Jedi Master." speaking with a laugh. "But seriously apparently this saying is true there have been countless Jedi that have fallen to their desires and was pulled to the dark side." concern written upon his face.

Boskor shuffled his feet nervously as he thought about his deceased master. Perhaps it had actually been his master who had warned them about the impending danger on Atzerri and help them narrowly escape Maybe his master was watching over him the only way he could. It was a nice thought. He took a deep breath let it out then listen as the man continued.

"Well your father was a great man to treat his family as he did. They are just as capable to do things as a man as not. Meaning I have seen men do better than some others I know." Trystor said confident.

"I am assuming that you meant that you will have to fight women to survive or die trying? Trystor questioning his friend.

"You are assuming correctly Troy. I may yet have to fight a female Jedi or enemy." Boskor said, as he watched his friend take a deep breath.

"As I have said, treat a women right with respect and honor. Yes, women are of a different mind set and understanding in some respects. They do not think as we do necessarily though might be different, but generally the same." speaking calmly to Boskor.

"They also tend to look for a confident man, who is strong, caring while having an understanding loving nature. Who are not privy to showing their emotions at times."

He stopped only to look at the man whom appeared to hang on his every word.

"Their looks from smiles, soft skin, flowing hair and flattering eyes. The perfume they wear is part of their charm and charisma or whiles. Their attraction if you will is to try to get that future mate. As for you melting, well that's part of the allure too. It does get the men deeply interested in them which does plays havoc on most men." He said, quickly.

"Don't worry about your training Master Star will more than likely give you a better idea of where you are as a Padawan." He said reassuringly.

"I agree that Master Star is indeed an attractive women and of course is married. I believe he is a lucky guy to have found such a loving caring women. " speaking with a tone of honor in his speech.

" I have no doubts young man that you will become good friends. Although I can understand it might be embarrassing to you now. She will most likely take it as a compliment as not, but of course I could be wrong. That's a women thing." He said quickly then smiling.

"Scholars have been asking that question for eons and there are still no clear answers." He relaxed beaming even a wider smile.

Boskor looked intently at his friend before he spoke.

"I believe I understand what you are saying. At times one must bridle his passions just as a rider bridles a horse to control it. Won't always be easy, but I am willing to try to do my best not to let my passions run away unfettered. As far as my training I will continue my routine and let things play out as they may. I know that I am becoming stronger in the force, still control is an issue I need to deal with at times. I guess being sacred of being intimate with women is natural and normal, but like you said that if you treat them nice they will most likely treat you the same in return. As for Nuana, she has someone training her. I am very happy for her. Troy I appreciate your honesty in answering my questions. I feel better about it and I'm not depressed as I have been." He then reached out and put his arms around the man and hugged him.

"I am glad I could help you Boskor." quietly returning the hug.

"You got the right idea about control and passions." He took a moment to unbrace.

"I will try to keep you and your fears under control as long as I am around." showing a small smile.

Trystor wanted to say something, but he just couldn't do it, and stopped briefly before going on to another subject. He had quickly decided this with a side subject to forget what he had wanted to say.

"We all have fears and passions at times that we just can't control. There are times for them, other times they are not." speaking quickly.

"Of course I don't have some of the training like most of the younglings or other Padawans even Jedi for that matter. So my passions will be harder to deal with and control." noting he had some flaws.

"They might not even train me, let me go. " said, with a sigh.

At that moment glad that is was Boskor and him alone during this discussion.

Boskor looked at his friend and saw he lacked confidence in himself. However he knew the man was stronger than he cared to let on or give himself credit for in dealing with the force.

"What you say is true, new fears may yet arrive for all of us. Well I knew I wasn't alone, but as to your training it will come. Letting you go is not an option my friend. If I once who was a pick pocket can learn so can you. Imagine the damage I would have done if I had not tried to pick pocked my master. Look what I have learned in just a short two years, you can too. If you are willing and open to learn, I will help you in any way I can.

"The force is for knowledge and defense, never for attack. This is what the master drilled into me time and time again. Do not be discouraged others have lost their lives for us to have ours. We have been given tomorrows whatever they might be to make the best of them. I won't quit and hope you don't either. It doesn't matter to our enemies whether you master the force or not, you are still a threat to them regardless." He said looking at his friend.

"Your right they would turn me for their future dark Jedi or kill me for a being a threat to them." Trystor said, quickly almost sacred himself.

As he got up so Boskor could get some rest. "Good night my friend." calmly as he headed to the door. He went to his little haystack on the far side of the barn and slept there. One to have some extra privacy and hope he could sleep tonight without fear of bad dreams ruining his night sleep. Grabbing his simple bedroll, pulled out his pillow and blanket covering up for the night.
