Completing Misha's training.

[Garuga]

Yes, try to find danger. Definitely makes sense... Haven sighed jokingly. Then again, she had essentially done much the same for well, her entire life until recently. Then suddenly, she was being dragged by Misha onward yet again, the energy that seemed to simply shine off the younger girl was certainly impressive. Goodness, when in the blazes do kids go to sleep nowadays. Haven moaned a barely audible protest, as her feet grumbled against their owner's decisions.

Watching Misha pull out her lightsaber, Haven quickly placed her hand on the young girl's hands, indicating to her to put it away. "A lightsaber is many things when used as a tool, but using it as a flashlight is quite frankly unsafe and not particularly efficient!" Haven laughed. "As always, keep your mind alert. The force is your guide, sense what lies ahead before taking a step. There are however other methods of 'illumination' as well, perhaps more so in the practical sense. I will show you if you wish."

Haven raised a hand, letting the force pass through her body and out as waves of white light. The darkness around them was forced out of the way as the light occupied their former space. "Gather the force, then picture that the world around you has suddenly turned into a blazing sun. Control is something to be mastered later, like how I am using unfocused and weak light rays. This can be used for other purposes as well, but for the moment it'll fulfill it's task as a flashlight decently."

 

[Veritas et Lux]

She felt her grip on her master loosen as her soft hand was placed atop Misha's signifying the body language of her words.
She retracted her lightsaber and replaced it in it's nesting in her bag. With a wave of master Haven's hand the path before her was lit. It was bright and very effecient, yet it was still cold- not like sunlight at all.

"This- is- just beautiful." her eyes lit up amongst other things.
She found this a very clever act indeed- to illuminate the darkness with the force.

She hushed her inner thoughts though- she allowed herself to become enlightened, to, live in this very moment. She focused on the darkness, and pictured that instead of there being darkness when no light was present- it was darkness when no light was present. Both are true in perspective, however the change of perspective allowed her to visualize very easy that the darkness was lifted from the light that was there.

With an opening palm she allowed light to flow through her- from the force to the dark path. She focused once more on her master's words.

"So- if I wanted to I could make it blue? Or yellow?"

She focused back at her hand and the white rays illuminating from it.
She pictured that the rays were blue, she pictured that it was slightly dimmer.
She could feel the grace self-control. She could understand why it was such an amazing thing to have such a disciplined mind.

Looking back at Haven she smirked- "Thank you for teaching me this. Now come on, we've got to find some beasts! Heh... Or some flowers."

 

[Garuga]

Beasts or flowers? Haven raised an eyebrow, carrying an amused expression on her face. Nevertheless, she was once again impressed by Misha's quick learning capabilities, having managed to produce her own substantial force generated light with her first attempt. "Always on the move..." She chuckled to herself. It wasn't required to maintain the light for Haven to see and sense her surroundings clearly, but for perhaps some extra motivation to her Padawan, Haven maintained the light at a smaller concentrated beam as she made her way further into the forest.

"While there aren't any 'beasts' that you'll likely to encounter here, the waterfall and the river is certainly worth seeing. We can take a swim if you'd care to, blistering cold and all, the perfect way to make sure it's impossible for me to go to sleep again tonight..." Haven said somewhat sarcastically, leading Misha through the forest trail. "So Misha, do you know anyone outside of the Order? How old were you when you joined?"

 

[Veritas et Lux]

Misha pushed aside branches and what-not along the path as she walked. Her hand still shined a dim blue light that illuminated the path well enough to naavigate and see maybe twenty feet in front of them.
A river sounded... Not pleasant, unless of course she could swim it out to the ocean and onto the beach, of course.

"Well- I don't know about swimming actually. Maybe we could follow the river to the beach, because I'm totally not down with getting my hair wet right now. Heh, and I don't believe you are either." it was fairly warm and humid outside, jumping into a freezing river wasn't really on the top of Misha's list. Besides- she'd like to actually talk and what-not so Misha just led Haven down a trail towardds the beach.

"Actually... I know lots of people outside of the order- I've only joined recently. I had to... Well I had to escape my parents to join the order. So- not long. But I'm determined! I'll be a Jedi, I will. This is MY life, not my parents'. Ya' know?" she hadn't even been on this planet for more than two weeks, she had hoped that perhaps she'd be able to rise to rank quickly, despite her age. However she knew she would have to buckle-down and pull it together.

As they walked towards the ocean, Misha could start to hear it in the distance. The waves crashing across the sandy beaches. She looked about on the ground and noticed the flowers and wildlife growing all around.

I love nature- I love... Well, everything. I can't stop loving everything, because everything in the galaxy is just amazing. I can't stop looking at things and seeing beauty and how great everything looks. I love life- I love the galaxy. I love the force-.

She continued to ramble on, and lead with her blue light shining on.
Maybe we should watch the sunrise from the beach. If we could find some jetis, or some palm trees to climb on- that would be magnificent. I love the sunrise so much.

 

[Garuga]

Oh goodness that means she truly doesn't want to sleep at all... There was nothing wrong with watching sunrise though, nothing that Haven could legitimately object to anyway. And going to the beach was always fun...

In some ways, Haven was curious as to what kind of a life she would have held if she wasn’t a Jedi. She had been with the order since a baby essentially, and no recognition of family or the sort would ever come to her. Oh certainly, she knew others outside the Order, having left the Order immediately after she was knighted, and even after returning to meet with the Council it was still years before she felt she was ready once again to rejoin their ranks.

"Well, it's a good thing Misha." Haven said, as they continued to make their way to the beach. "Compassion for things, love for all. Whatever we might achieve or had accomplished, next to timeless span of our world we are still insignificant. We hold respect for those that deserve it, and we try to help even those that do not."

Seeing the beach just ahead now, with the ground beneath them quickly changing from soil to otherwise, Haven stopped projecting the light from her hands. It will still be a bit of time before sunrise, but they might as well make themselves comfortable before that. Stepping onto the beach, Haven loosened her feet strapping, feeling the sand granules underneath grinding into her feet.

 

[Veritas et Lux]

Misha took long strides here and there until the ground began to turn into sand. The tan gritty texture of the beach was always something that she looked forward to.
She listened as her master spoke of the ways of the galaxy- the ways of love and how a Jedi was to treat others.
When her master relinquished the straps on her feet and set free her toes, Misha did the same. She went running out into the sand and over the dunes.

"The place is beautiful, I've always loved the water." she pronounced.

The waves that washed to and fro washed gently over Misha's ankles. Her arms stretched outwards towards the sea, she breathed in. She felt so... Small in the galaxy at this very moment- staring out into the infinite horizon.

"I always used to wish that the ocean would take me away, and I could live on a sail-speeder for the rest of my life, but- I couldn't really do that. So I guess that space is my sea now. My sea of infinite stars and people, places, planets. Heh." she explained to Haven.

As the light rays began to appear beyond the horizon, she swore that she could almost feel the planet rotating.
And despite that she could start to see the water a little better, she began to be enlightened by the sun-
She would have some... fun.

She bent over and reached down to touch the water with her hand- it was luke-warm. Along with the next wave passing over her skin she flung and splashed haven with slaps of water. Folowing up with giggles and bright eyes.

 

[Garuga]

Oh how predictable. Haven almost shook her head as the water sailed towards her face. Nevertheless, being the good natured person she was, Haven took it with a smile. At first she kept her wide smile on her face as she wiped it with her sleeve. Without warning, Haven raised her arms, and gathered Misha in a sweeping bubble of force energy. With a flourish, Haven would send Misha spluttering out into the sea, most likely flying a good 10 meters before she'd crash into the salty water.

"Is that the way to behave, soon to be Knight Ivavnova?" Haven grinned, joking while revealing the good news. She wasn't done yet though, not by a mile. Pushing her hands in front of her, a huge rolling wave would fall upon Misha the moment she surfaced if she did so. "Come on girl, I want to see some spunkiness!" Haven shouted out, using this last chance to observe Misha's responses.

 

[Veritas et Lux]

It was all fun and games until- well... You know, your master locks you in a bubble.

She was standing within a bubble! It was- ridiculous. She would have to learn this... Hell- she would have to attempt this.
Yet the bubble popped and she fell, screaming into the luke-warm sea. She held her breath, embracing the water only to be swept away by the currents of a wave. A rather big wave that sent her flipping and turning underwater, to be washed up into shallower water.
She arose, hair slinging upwards and over her head- she gasped for air, taking a great big breath. The water was great... She loved Tython. This place was- quite literally, paradise.

Marching up the beach, heavy robes weighing her down, and undertow pulling her aback. She managed to wash ashore once more. And given the look on Misha's face, she was ready to attempt the same thing. Mimicry was the greatest form of flattery, it has been said.
She decided to try and form the buble- however she was clueless as to how to even begin.She attempted to form the bubble first- she could see it shrouding her in her mind's eye, yet all that happened was real bubbles- from the sea... About ten of them formed and were floating about...

"Awh- ... Heh, at least I tried." Misha was disappointed, but she knew she'd get it eventually.

 

[Garuga]

"Haha, sorry, hope I didn't go too far." Haven apologised, looking for some way as to prevent her Padawan from catching a cold. Haven set her eyes on a large piece of drift wood, strolling over to it. Plopping down on one knee, Haven brushed her hand gently over the dead vegetation. The wood burst into flames immediately, embers immediately being carried off by the sea-side wind.

"Well come over quickly!" Haven beamed, ushering Misha over. Once Misha was comfortable and all, Haven would offer her own jacket, as brief as it was, it was certainly better than being soaked in the wet robes. "Yeah, I have a tendency to do this to Padawans it seems, I'm sorry!" Haven laughed.
