A New Beginning (timtank)

[Aldar Natadare]

Aldar walked through the halls of the Jedi Temple, the vastness of the Temple still astounded him, even though it had been his home for many years. Aldar could feel the hustle and bustle of the Temple through the emotions of those around him, his Zeltron heritage allowed him that ability. It allowed him to feel the liveliness of the Temple, Jedi going to and from meetings, leaving and returning to the Temple.

Aldar himself was on his way to a meeting. The Council had assigned him another Master, after the sudden departure of his last. He was to meet his new Master in one of the many conference rooms within the Temple. He hadn't been told very much about his new Master, just that he was receiving one, and that was enough for him.

His red eyes scanned the room numbers as he passed. "Which one was it?.....I think that's it....204A" Aldar thought to himself as he checked his datapad in order to confirm. He pressed a button on the door panel and the door quickly slid open. Aldar walked into the room and stood waiting for his new Master. He shifted a little nervously and pressed his hands against his robes in order to make sure that they were in proper order, he didn't want to look disheveled and make a bad first impression on his new Master

Finally a large ship had landed on the Coruscant Jedi Temple's landing docks. It was not long before those within and any items on board were being unloaded. Their was little time to get anything done, Jedi master Klon Driviz had been called back to Coruscant in order to deal with a Padawan... The Kiffar had been called back to this Temple from the Blades Temple on Seraphim in the inner-rim.

He attended a meeting there with his one official Padawan, and spent some time giving the lad basic lightsaber training. It was nothing new to Klon, taking on students and training them to be the best they can be. That seemed to be this case again, he was put in charge of one more padawan. If they will be staying on with him or simply be temporarily under him, was not yet decided. He had things to do all though out the day, but the new Padawan simply slowed things down a bit... He was to be sent on a mission later that night, although this shouldn't be a major interference, it means somebody with limited training may end up in the field as well, depending on the type of job the Youngling could prove unprepared.

So meeting this young man would be very important if he would have to bring him along. Although it would mean nothing if Jarael was to meet him now, so the Kiffar had simply sent the boy to prepare for his next mission while Klon attends this meeting.

He was given the boy's name on arrival at the temple and had but to meet him in room 204A on one of the temple's upper floors. Didn't take any longer then expected to find the correct room, all he had to do was enter. With a single push of a button the door slide open with a swoosh and the Jedi master entered. The bright lights of the conference room reflecting off of his light brown skin and thick black hair. Fine blue robes and black boots was his chosen attire of the day.

He entered the room with a stern authoritative look on his face and his hands folded neatly behind his back. The young man in the room was rather tall considering the age listed to Klon. He was also a Zeltron hybrid as well as a rather well built youngling, interesting indeed, to be a half ling such as that. His first in counter with this one told Klon that he was rather nervous, a bit uncomfortable as well. This caused Klon to smile and even chuckle a bit.

"Hello, my name is Klon Driviz, Jedi Master and Investigator. Please have a seat and tell me a bit about yourself... What is your goals as a jedi and walk me though your prier training young man." Klon sat down as relaxed as could be, waiting quietly for the young man to respond.

[Aldar Natadare]

Aldar observed his new Master walk into the room, they seemed to be about the same height and from what Aldar could tell, he seemed to be in a hurry. The Master that walked through the door seemed to be stern, almost authoritative, but time will tell if that is true or just a facade. This moment, however, was one that Aldar had been waiting for a while, so it was understandable that he was a bit apprehensive about meeting his new Master. As soon as Klon sat down and began to talk, Aldar became more comfortable and returned to his normal, affable state.

Aldar sat down at the table, as he was told. "Well that's a pretty general question" Aldar thought to himself, somewhat sarcastically as he opened his mouth to speak.

"Well, where do you want me to start. I was born on Alvorine. I'm half-Zeltron, half-Echani. I have received very little formal training before this because my previous Master and I were only together for a short time before he was reassigned to search for Holocrons." Aldar answered as he contemplated the other part of the question.

"But I was able to craft a lightsaber!" Aldar exclaimed as he concentrated on his lightsaber and within a few moments it had made its way into his hand, albeit a bit slowly and wobbly. He flicked the lightsaber on and the pink blade sprung to life, casting a rosy color to much of the area around it.

"My goal as a Jedi....Hmm" Aldar murmurred as he scratched his head, "Well I really enjoy telekinesis, and I have a knack for healing, and being part-Zeltron gives me the natural ability to read the emotions of others. So something that combines all of those, a Jedi Healer maybe," Aldar told him. "It's a little early in my training to be making life decisions, don'tcha think?" Aldar thought to himself, a bit sarcastically and it caused a small grin to sneak across his face.

[timtank]

Klon listened to every answer and watched every reaction as carefully as possible, and this boy seemed like a interesting fellow... The master nodded lightly as he listened so the lad knew he was still following. Although when it got to the point of answering his questions related to his training with his last master the Kiffar found himself a bit on edge by the responses...

He didn't make this fact known to the Padawan, since the boy would likely have no answer to the questions accumulating in his head. Although the council may just have a stronger understanding of this child's situation, and the issue may have to be addressed at a later point... Why would his master drop his student simply because he was reassigned to look for Holocrons? That seems unrealistic in a way. Something like Holocron hunting is no reason to drop a student, so the truth behind such a matter may become Klon's issue.

Then the boy drew his lightsaber and ignited it, showing off his unique lightsaber, something else strange to Klon. If the boy is untested why was he allowed to make his weapon at such a early age at that? The boy then revealed his goal to be a healer, rather interesting choice, this caused him to wonder how potent was his healing powers in the force. That would later be tested indeed.

" How about your lightsaber skills?" The man asked while he raised a eyebrow and says " Is their any forms other than Shi-Cho you have trained in? If not what form do you consider interesting? What would you like to learn in terms of lightsaber use?" Most of his questions were simple and general. He would prove easy to respond to, and his hope was to get quick response. It wouldn't be long before he as Jarael had to be ready for their upcoming mission, and the way things looked Aldar may have to prepare as well.

[Aldar Natadare]

"So much contemplation," Aldar thought to himself, "He seems confused about something...." That was one of the downsides, in Aldar's opinion, to being half-Zeltron, he could feel the emotions of others but he couldn't tell why they were feeling them. "I guess I'll just have to wait and see."

"I haven't been trained in anything other than Shii-Cho, but I do find Ataru, Soresu, and Djem So to be interesting forms to learn, but I haven't decided which would be best to learn," Aldar told his Klon. It was a very simple question and so it warranted a very simple answer.

"So what's next Master?" Aldar questioned, clearly finished with the introductions, and ready to get to whatever Master Klon had next.

[timtank]

Klon's focus totally unchanging allowed him to catch Aldar say he was interested in Ataru, Ataru of all things. So luckily that was something he could teach Aldar first hand. Although Duel Wielding was his specialty he often applied Niman, Ataru, and if called for Shii-Cho to his Jar-Kai Tactic.

Klon Smiled just a bit, his interest in this young man was just increased a bit more. Although their was the question about how well his body combined with the force as it is now, as well as the effectiveness of the boy's senses. Both very important to practice Ataru. The Kiffar was fairly adapt in the use of Ataru, so teaching it shouldn't prove all that much a issue for somebody like him.

Aldar looked fit, and his build was noticeably good... A aggressive fighting form would suit him better then a defensive one. At least that was the feelings of the Jedi Master. Klon worked himself to his feet and bowed to the lad before saying "You seem like a interesting fellow Aldar, so I would be happy to have you along as a trainee."

Klon Extended his hand to the pink skinned padawan before speaking ever more. "If you have any questions young padawan now is the proper time to ask. No matter what it is I should have some type of answer."

[Aldar Natadare]

Aldar rose as well. Standing at the same height as his Master he extended his hand and took it in a shake. He was estatic, "Finally I can once again begin my training".

"No, Master, I have no questions"

"That's a lie." But how was Aldar to explain himself, how was he to explain to his Master that the entire time they were meeting he could sense his emotions. Emotions, in Aldar's opinion, were something that were deeply personal; and that is why Aldar sometimes views his natural Zeltron traits as a curse. The ability to feel what others are feeling, while sometimes useful, sometimes clouds his thoughts. This meeting was one of those instances. He couldn't help but think about what his Master's emotions meant. "Maybe with time and practice, I can learn to control it, or at least deal with it"

"Well, that's not entirely true......my only question is when do we start training," Aldar responded a smile beaming across his face.

((OOC: We can end this whenever you feel the need, now that they have met))

[timtank]

Klon could feel this boy was not being totally truthful when he said he had no more questions. Klon felt no reason to bother the boy further, he had but to train the boy, just as he did with padawan of the past and Jarael. This young man seemed to have considerable potential as well. He seemed to have a uniqueness to him, something Klon had himself already understood.

Aldar clearly felt as if he couldn't speak his mind, but from what the Kiffar master sensed of the body his feelings and thoughts were steering. " You have questions young man, I can sense it, your being eaten up thinking about it, speak your mind. I had a Zeltron Student before, and if your anything like him... You will find it very easy to read me, or any other being..."

Klon bowed and walked near the door before answering the one question presented by the youngling. " Well, that depends on when we return to the temple..." The jedi master smiled and waved the boy to follow, for it was time for him to meet up with someone. " Follow me, you have yet to meet Jarael. Oh, and we will be leaving on a mission as well. So please follow me."
