Intentions in Shadow

[Tsar Fire]

Without her willing them to, her hands flicked the saber on and up, the snap-hiss of its ignition clashing with the crackling discharge as the blades met. She leveraged the tip of her saber around the attack, pushing it down to the floor, and applying enough force to keep it away to her right side, then she spun in, her arm coming close to her chest as she whipped around and to the left, blade whipping out from her core to strike in a backhanded slash towards her master's back.

She was going for distance, and to buy a few seconds of time, that was all. She didn't honestly expect the attack to hit.

Aleyn spun away from the blade and sent a powerful push in Rascha's direction. If it took her down then that would be the prefect amount of time Aleyn needed to cross the room and decapitate her if this were a real fight.

 

[Tsar Fire]

The wave of the force push reached her, and Rascha stepped into it, feeling... seeing the flow of the force around her... there... if she pushed there...

She pushed outwards with the force as she met the wave, and it blew past her, raising gouges in the floor as the force of the wave flowed around her. It wasn't negated at all, just... redirected a little...

She leveled the weapon to an en guarde... and waited. She saw... the flow of the force around her... around her master... she could almost feel what would, or could, happen next...

She didn't dare attack... she could see how foolish that would be...

"You are smart, Rascha. That will save your life many times in the future"

Aleyn smiled and turned off her lightsaber then hooked it to her belt.

"Tell me...is there anything else that you feel you need to learn?"

 

[Tsar Fire]

"Only through practice master. I'm glad that you sent my where I could learn to see... And I think that all the things which I could experience in the future will also help me to learn."

She bowed, and then said. "Thank you for showing me all that you have. I hope to survive to see the future."

 

[Emma Lou]

"You will, Rascha, you will. You are a gifted girl and I am honored to welcome you to the Shade Order as a Shade Knight"

 

[Tsar Fire]

Rascha smiled. She thought this might have been what was going to happen. She bowed one last time, thanked her master, and then turned, and strode from the training room. She was ready to make her mark on the galaxy, if there was a mark for her to make.

Only time would tell.
