Rius Ursakar's Training

[Anya Reyes]

*Waiting for her new padawan, Rius Ursakar, to accompany her, Anya began to meditate. Deep within herself, Anya let her feelings flow in and out through meditation. She was at peace and heard nothing but silence. She was motionless and serene, letting her thoughts run through her like a mild stream. There was nothing more Anya liked as much as centering herself and getting lost in the art of meditation. She continues to do so, still waiting patiently for Rius.*

[Anton Byrax]

*Entering, Rius moves as if walking on egg shells. Wringing his hands and slightly flushed with embarassment at being late for his first training Session the youngster speaks quickly and nervously.*

"Greetings Master Reyes, iam sorry for being late. I was held up..."

*Talking to friends, he added in his mind.*

[Anya Reyes]

*Anya awoke from meditation as Rius walked in. She let a smaile come to her lips while getting up, standing on her two feet. Her expression was warm and kind giving the impression that she didn't mind much about his lateness...*

"Better late than never.... as long as you're here now; that's all that counts. At any rate, it's nice to see that you have decided to join the Jedi. Before we begin your training, there's a question that I'd like to ask.... out of curiosity I suppose. Why have you decided to join the Jedi?"

[Anton Byrax]

*Thinking on the question, Rius looks seriously at his new master.*

"I believe the reason is that i wish to discover more about myself, and make a positive contribution to the galaxy in my lifetime."

[Anya Reyes]

*Anya listens carefully to his response, hoping that it would tell her some more of his character and personality. She again, smiles and slightly nods her head showing that she is able to comprehend.*

"Spoken like a true Jedi.... it was good that you took the time to think on what you were to say. It would do you good if you could keep that up. Think before you do something drastic because every action has a consequence. Soon enough, doing what is right will come easier to you.... almost like an instinct. Now to continue.... I'd like you to recite the Jedi Code before me if you can.

[Anton Byrax]

*Remembering the words that had been taught to him so many times before, Rius intones.*

"There is no emotion - There is Peace
There is no ignorance - There is knowledge
There is no passion - There is is serenity
There is no death - There is the Force.........."

[Anya Reyes]

"You are close Rius, but not accurate. You fail to recite one very important line. "There is no chaos, there is harmony." Every last word of the Jedi Code is significant and abiding by it will help you to continue down the path of the light side. A Jedi must notice that they should always stay calm, no matter what the situation, and put their mind at ease.... otherwise, they will suffer mentally from chaos instead of living in harmony. Full comprehension of the code is just a step closer to unlocking a Jedi's mastery of the force. Please, explain to me your understanding of the code."

[Anton Byrax]

*Anton was about the curse himself mentally for the mistake but realised that even the Greatest of Jedi make can mistakes, he decided to forgive himself and move on.*

"I believe that the Jedi Code teaches us to be selfless, have compassion and not to focus on the negative side that is inherently part of us. It teaches us not to fear or hate for these things are neither good nor constructive."

[Anya Reyes]

OOC: So sorry for posting this so late

"It is true... fear leads to hate, and hate leads to anger or suffering which will take you down an all too disturbed path. We all have a negativity that resides within us, but with the proper discipline and training, you will learn to exclude it from your thoughts. There is no doubt that you show an excessive understanding of the Jedi Code, but that's not the whole of it. You must abide by it, and allow the code to dwell within your very thoughts; let it be your core. You are progressing well.... but before we move on, one question if you will? Have you already chosen your Jedi class?

[Anton Byrax]

ooc: np, i've been busy myself..

"Iam a strong believer in mind over matter, and think that the path of a Jedi Consular appeals to me."

[Anya Reyes]

"Ah.... the Jedi Consular, seeking to bring balance to the force and try to avoid conflict; I suspected as much. You have great potential, and I too agree that you will be able to fulfill your duties as a Jedi Consular. After choosing which Jedi class would suit you best, you must construct a lightsaber. A consular is signified with the green crystal. Remember this: the lightsaber defines a Jedi and who they are within. The lightsaber is one of a kind as the Jedi himself. The crystals in which you choose to equip your lightsaber with will determine how well it will aid you in combat. If you have not already constructed your lightsaber, please do so. When you are finished - or if you have already assembled it - then we will continue your training."

[Anton Byrax]

"Yes i have constructed a Lightsaber, Master Reyes."

*Rius produces the chrome and black hilt from under his robe, having acuired each part and spent many months fashioning them in the Temple Workshops not to mention the painstaking process of inserting the crystals correctly he was proud of his workmanship.*

[Anya Reyes]

*Anya put on a most delighted smile when he took out his lightsaber. Because he already had one, she assumed that the crystals were placed in correctly and that he had constructed it perfectly. She then took out her lightsaber; pulling it off of her belt. She turned around and walked away from Rius. After about two meters away, she stopped and turned around to face him once more. Anya ignited her saber, as the Cyan color of the blade reflected off her face. She wanted to see what Rius already knew about combat, and his skills with the lightsaber. She stared at him, but her expression was hard to read. Anya let herself get into a defensive stance and distinctly spoke to him.*

"Hit me!"

[Anton Byrax]

*Flicking the ignition rune, Rius' Blade Appeared almost instantly. Holding the hilt double handed out before him, the young man moved forward quickly making light sweeping strokes. Ending with a heavy forward thrust.*
