Breaking Ties (Jarael)

[Daren & Donald Kail]

"Very good, I try testing your ability to survive in the city alone and you test your chasing abilities. Hmm interesting I enjoy your energy." Kil Gorn did something as close to a smile as his people could do and then exited the shuttle as it emptied out passengers. He looked out into the city and sighed,

"Why do you want a lightsaber? Go as deep into it as you can. What does it mean to you?"

[Jerek]

Jarael looked up at his master a moment, thinking of the question he had asked. He followed in behind Kil, his robes being ruffled by the winds slightly. He thought and thought as deep as he could. A few strands of ideas clicked and a few didn’t. Some ideas he threw away, until eventually the answer he thought was sufficient came to the top of his mind, working its way to his lips.

I suppose I want one, because it could act as a symbol. A symbol of hope for some, or possibly a symbol of.. fear for others, which isn’t what I want. It would serve as an extension of my arm, not just a blade. I hope you understood that, Master.

Jarael looked around a little, taking in Coruscant’s environment for possibly the first time in all the years he’d lived here.

Kil thought about it for a moment and finally said after a life time,
"No, you are not ready. You have an idea but you must fully understand before you shall be ready to wield the weapon." He looked into the city and scanned around then back to his padawon.
"Are you tired?"

[Jerek]

A little disgruntled, Jarael bowed his head out of respect for the Jedi Master. If he didn't believe Jarael ready then he must not be ready. He follwoed Kil down the streets of Coruscant. He wondered vaguely if they were headed for the temple. His thoughts dwelled on other things. Like what his futur training would hold in store. Other things troubled him too.

What if more tests were presented to him by Kil, but on other, unfamiliar worlds with harsher environments?

As if reading his mind Kil Gorn replied,
"Tonight you shall rest then gather your things at sunrise. We shall be going off of Coursaunt for the best lessons are taught by experience. Do not worry my apprentice for you shall be quite safe with me. I have many friends across the galaxy and few enemies."
Kil called the boy close to him and knelled down,
"Separation from the usual is an exceptional way to listen to the Force, listen to it's call and it shall guide you throughout your journeys with me and after our time is done. You have great potential but you must learn to cut all ties but those with the Force. Your mind must be cleared of all distractions. In time I will even become a distraction to your connection to the force. For tonight rest well and do not think of the things you have to do."
Kil rose back up and led them back to the temple...
