  1. Reptilia went to the ship. Reptilia started up the engine. Reptilia set course for Gala. Reptilia waited for Trushaun. ((Really needed to get a post out.))
  2. At the same moment as his padawan Reptilia felt a disturbance, it was one that he had felt before. He shivered, the feeling didn't affect him as much as Trushaun but he was a little distraught. He shook it off and tried to explain it to his apprentice. "That feeling, it is almost like when someone pulls back on a slingshot, as far as it will go and then releases it. The slingshot it actually death, and when it releases such a large amount of lives it can be felt across the universe, especially so for those who are force-sensitive. It is something that you will feel from time to time unfortunately, the Galaxy is in turmoil. It isn't something to focus too much attention on at this time. We should just finish up training here, I feel that it might be best to get to the temple soon." Rep waited for everything to sink in with his padawan.
  3. "I'll take that as a no," He said, his padawan had paused and obviously couldn't decide what to do next. Rep, could sense that Trushaun wasn't going to attack so he relaxed, aside from testing her reflexes he was also testing to see what kind of combatant she was. She could defend herself well enough, but Rep would have liked to see her respond more aggressively. "I'll give you one free shot, and we'll go from there."
  4. "That's good, it's useful to be familiar with both even though you'll most likely stick to one. Also, it's important to remember that if you ever do need to use your lightsaber against another force user is that they will have their own skill set complete with some tricks that you won't expect, so you need to constantly be on the look out for any sign, a twitch of their arm or an adjustment in their feet. Actually, that's a good thing to do all of the time, the Galaxy is full of shady people who might look trustworthy enough but could be waiting for you to let your guard down. Basically..." He stopped mid sentence as he lunged at Trushaun with his saber in hand. "Never," He slashed at her chest. "Let," another swing. "Your," A quick jab. "Guard," He kicked at her ribs. "Down," He finished with a wave of energy aimed at her legs. "Any questions?"
  5. "You killed," He said surprised, Trushaun had seemed so innocent before but as he spoke to her she became more and more real. He nodded at her improvement, slowly but surely she was getting a hang of the Force. He stood up, he knew that they needed to get to work on training and end their break. "Next," He paused for a moment and thought. "I think we should cover some more saber techniques. You have the basics down but I want to go over some more advanced types of attacks." He grabbed his hilt and ignited an end. He swung it around a few times. "Notice how far I can reach and how I leave myself open." He grabbed his hilt reverse grip style, it felt uncomfortable to Rep but he wanted to give as many options to Trushaun as possible so she could choose what fit well for her. He swung his blade around again, this time he made sure to demonstrate his reach and how much torque he could get with it. "Holding it like this has its advantages, it's a little bit easier to slash with longs strides and take out multiple enemies with one attack. The main disadvantage is that if you lock up against another lightsaber user you won't be able to push back with as much strength as you could if you were holding it like I did previously. I guess, try both ways out for a bit."
  6. "That's quite a burden to be placed upon you, but also a great opportunity. You probably wouldn't have been able to leave your planet if it wasn't for this. Every tragedy births some good." Reptilia was a man of few words, of those words were a few thoughtful ones. Having some down time was nice, as it was the first chance he had gotten to speak with his padawan he was happy. "Back to when you were kidnapped, I'm curious to how you escaped, can you elaborate for me?"
  7. "Well, I still am a Sentinel." He said after witnessing his padawan progress towards knighthood. He was glad that she had managed to complete the task, it made training that much easier. The fact that she had done it so fast was impressive, Rep himself could barely do much more than that "I thought the idea of using illusions to get by enemies and deceive them was much more appealing than slicing them up with a lightsaber. Why do you want to be a Naturalist?" He asked, he mostly wanted to talk instead of think of another training exercise.
  8. "Okay, this will be tougher than what we did previously," He said as he adjusted to his meditative position. "First, you need to get attuned to the environment. Try to become one with it, if that makes sense. Manipulating nature it something that is challenging but is one of the more useful skills a Jedi can learn. After you feel confident enough in your connection I want you to concentrate on something, a flower or a bush, whatever strikes your fancy. Try to make it grow a bit, this will be difficult and I don't expect you to get it your first try. Just be persistent and try your hardest," As he finished he stepped out of his meditative state and relaxed for the moment.
  9. That Barcher guy, he's a real piece of work. I wonder where the inspiration for his character came from...
  10. Rep woke up after falling out of his seat, he quickly stumbled to his feet to see if he was in danger. Sensing Trushaun was near he stepped off the ship, he watched for a few moments as his padawan manipulated her crystal and some dirt. He was glad that she was picking up what he was trying to teach her and took the initiative to practice it on her own. He walked over to her, and sat down. He ripped up a few pieces of dirt and imitated Trushaun, he didn't have much of a plan at that point since they had covered the basics. "So, what do you want to learn next?"
  11. Rep watched as his apprentice walked away, as she left his view he turned away. He decided that in the free time that he had that he could get some rest in, he was rather tired from piloting and needed to close his eyes. He checked on Trushaun, she had made it to the cave so he strode back into the shuttle and fell into the piloting chair. With one last breath of relief he shut his eyes.
  12. "That's it," He said, he knew that she was ready for something more dangerous after her display. He looked around and searched the area, this time however he was searching for traces of the Force. He nodded to himself and turned back to Trushaun. "I want you to use everything you've learned so far during the next test. You will go along that path," He stated as he pointed to a small dirt path. "Until you come to a cave, that cave will have some peculiar crystals on the wall and ground. Find one that speaks to you and grab it. Inside the cave you might come across some creatures, if they attack use your training saber, the Force, or this if you have to," as he finished he grabbed a blaster from his holster and handed it to his apprentice. "May the Force be with you." ((Take as many posts as you need.))
  13. The Knight was happy with the progress that Trushaun had made, she was grasping the principles he was teaching through jumping and running. She had also remembered the meditation that they had practiced on Gala. As his apprentice came into ear shot he began to speak to her. "That's excellent, I think it's time to move onto something a little more advanced. This technique is much different from running and jumping, instead of using the Force to augment your own abilities you'll expel it from your body in the form of a push. I'll demonstrate." Rep stepped away from Trushaun and extended his arm out. "You want to concentrate your energy, and focus it into you hand or hands depending on the situation. It's important to control how much energy you use, too much and you'll tire yourself out faster and too little and it won't accomplish much." He finished speaking and released and Force push, the wave exit from his palm and shot into the field. It wasn't too powerful of a wave but it still picked up some dirt and grass as it traveled. Rep turned to Trushaun, "Think you can handle it?"
  14. Once again Trushaun had managed to pick up a new skill without too much trouble, he had expected to take all day to teach these techniques but she was excelling at everything he threw at her like it was nothing. She was obviously a natural at the basics, only time would tell if it carried over to more advanced subjects. He pondered for a moment on the idea if she was ready for the next step, she seemed to be but he didn't want to rush into anything to fast. He concluded that the only way to find out was to try... "Good, good. Now I want you to apply both those concepts at once, get some speed and use that to jump farther and higher than before. Don't try to overdo it and hurt yourself however" He said, he then waited patiently for her to complete the task at hand.
  15. Rep was impressed that Trushaun had picked up the technique so fast, he knew that she was ready for the next step. He stretched as he began to speak. "Good, you're a fast learner. The next thing is very similar, you will apply what you just learned but this time in a much more vertical way." With that Rep jumped, displaying how high he could jump normally. Then he concentrated the Force into his legs, as he leaped up this time he made his first jump seem like a bunny hop in comparison. As he landed he bent his knees to absorb the impact. Then he looked at Trushaun again as if nothing had happened. "It's really not that difficult but it can save your life in a pinch."
  16. "So, let's start out with the basics," He said as he looked around, he gauged the distance that he had to work with. "You might have heard stories of Jedi who had the ability to move at unbelievable speeds. Well, you're about to learn how they did that," He said with enthusiasm. "What you have to do is let the Force take control, let it guide you. Once you're comfortable with it and let it augment your abilities you'll be able to run, jump, and perceive at levels you never thought possible." He turned from his padawan and relaxed, in a blur he was gone. Rep sprinted down the field, he kicked off a tree and then returned to Trushaun. "Go."
  17. The shuttle came out of hyperspace, almost instantly Reptilia noticed the mines, he didn't know what they were however. He neared one, after a few moments passed as he stared at it. "Sithspit," He cursed, navigating a minefield was not something he enjoyed. He cleared his mind as the ship pressed on, Rep carefully steered through the mass of mines making sure to keep his distance from each one. It took a couple of minutes but he finally escaped the clutches if death. The ship came to a clean landing in an open plain, Rep made his way off of the ship and stretched. He looked around to see where they were, reaching out he could see a few caves and animals, some rivers and lakes, and some interesting fauna. ((I don't really know if the mines are still in play since it's been months.))
  18. "Okay," Rep said to his padawan as he started on his way towards the hangar. He remembered the way so it didn't take that long to reach it, the door opened and he strode in. He arranged it so he could use a Lambada class shuttle, he quickly walked on and sat down in the cockpit. A few seconds passed as he familiarized himself with the controls before he started firing the engines up, it had been awhile since he had been at the helm of ship and liked the feeling of it. He started to send out the launch codes, as soon as Trushaun was ready they could lift off and leave. (You can post getting to the ship and us leaving.)
  19. "You learned basic." Rep stated, he was surprised that she picked it up so fast. He was now faced with the decision of what to do next, he knew that he wanted go get off of Gala and somewhere where they would be able to interact with nature. "I'm thinking that for the next part of your training we should head for Dantooine, any objections?" He asked almost rhetorically but if there was a strong reason to not leave he had a few other locations planned out.
  20. The Knight watched as his padawan manipulated the Force, it was a small feat but he took it for great worth. He understood what Trushaun was trying to communicate. The naturalist class was one that required a great connection to the Force and nature, one that would only come from many years of experience and training which Rep was responsible for supplying. "So, I have to ask. Are sure that you want to be a Naturalist? I'm not trying to dissuade you but I need to be clear before we start serious training."
  21. I try thinking in a foreign language and try to write in it for awhile, while this takes a decent amount of knowledge of a different language it works pretty well.
  22. The Knight was meditating when he felt a familiar presence go overhead, it took him a moment but he recognized Sanj, his acquaintance from when they were padawans together. It had been a long time but he remembered the Jedi from their training days, with Xae and Hartel... The memories came back, how he could help him. Rep shook his head and continued to meditate. After a few minutes Rep looked up, he could sense Trushaun was close. He leaped up from his rock and started walking towards her. He felt that she had made a choice about her class, it made Rep happy as it would make training her a little bit easier. It had been a few hours since they parted ways from each other but it seemed like they both made good use of that time. As his padawan came into view he sped up a little to meet her. "So," He started, "What did you decide on?"
  23. Reptilia felt exactly what his padawan had felt, it was a strange occurrence so close to the Temple. He could feel the darkness that was being emitted, he knew that it was too dangerous for Trushaun and for him as well. He looked over to the Fosh, shook his head, and spoke. "No, everything is being taken care of. If you search deeper you'll find that there are enough Jedi who are more than capable of dealing with the disturbance. Besides, we'd just get in the way." He stood up, knowing that his padawan was anxious to do something he thought of something for her to do. He didn't want her to tire herself physically, so he decided to send her to research some ideals of the Jedi. "I want you to go to the library in the temple, search through some of the resources. In order for me to properly train you I need to know what class you will become apart of, research the Jedi classes which are Guardian, Sentinel, Consular, Ace... Naturalist... and... Exorcist!" He stated the last part excitedly as he wasn't too familiar with some of the classes and was a little surprised that he remembered them all. "May the Force be with you." He said with a bow before walking deeper into the forest, he needed to train as well. The Knight walked into the river, the water rushed around his legs. With his arms raised out to his side he focused on the current, it started to slow, after a couple of seconds it came to a complete halt. The wildlife around him quieted down, confused about what had just happened. Rep raised his arms upward, astonishingly the water raised with them. In one powerful sway of his arms the water was thrown into the forest, the Kel Dor laughed, he was pleasantly surprised at his growth over his career as a Jedi. He waded through the water to a rock, he found a comfortable position and closed his eyes. He breathed in and out, in and out.
  24. Rep was pleased at the progress that Trushaun was making, in such a short time she had already picked up the basics of lightsaber combat which was really impressive. He knew that she was exhausted, using the Force was draining and especially so when you're not used to it. He turned the remote off and tossed it the side, he sat down. "I guess now would be a good time to cover meditation," He said as he closed his eyes, he let out a deep breath. "Meditation is useful for clearing your mind, when you need to make decisions, or when you need to rest a bit." After he finished talking he just meditated, there wasn't much he could explain to her about it, she needed to figure out how she meditates. ((Quick post))
