Pechil's Training

[Aquatic Jamboree]

The Jedi Temple on Coruscant... Pechil was now a member of the Jedi order, staying there as a student, waiting for a master, but he needed some training, he would need some prior to gaining a master. They didn't choose the children without potential, they didn't choose the ill-controlled. Those who couldn't prove themselves worthy were sent to the lower Jedi corps... Pechil was Filled with life, he didn't want to go there, he wanted to reach his goal, he would be able to help people in those areas of course, but not as greatly as if he were to join the order as a knight or master. Pechil would continue his training till someone saw him as a suitable Padawan, he was going to show his potential.

Pechil waited patiently for the teacher who was going to help train him and help him gain proficiency in the basic arts of the Jedi, Pechil knew them, but not very well, mainly through instincts and watching other Jedi perform the skills, along with a little archival reading. Watching and reading on subjects couldn't be compared though with actual experience and active learning, Pechil enjoyed active learning more than sitting down and reading. Pechil watched the other students of the temple running around, he listened to the sounds of them training, laughing. Pechil planned on finding a master soon, it wasn't that he didn't like the temple, he'd been living there for several years, but he wanted the achieve his goal, staying there wouldn't do that.

Pechil began looking at the constructing of the temple and the whole area around him, it was beautiful as all things, Pechil didn't exactly life buildings, industry, and civilization, but the temple was something different, the Jedi order fascinated him unlike the construction of government branches and of civilization, those often left off in the destruction of something else, the Jedi though worked to help others rather than increase the wealth of themselves. Pechil began thinking about life and about the order of the universe as he waited for the teacher that was suppose to train him in the Jedi basics.

As a librarian, Athena traveled from Coruscant to Ossus on occasion. Although she enjoyed being in the heart of the galaxy, she truly preferred Ossus. Ossus place was quiet, tranquil. It was easy for her to center herself. It also had a much more accomplished archive. But she went where she was needed, to seek more knowledge, and teach any who'll listen. On the Coruscant Monastery, the latter was the case. She was to instruct a youngling who had not yet been taken by a master.

Athena wasn't sure where to find her soon-to-be apprentice. She wasn't formally told about him, but clairvoyance was a basic and fundamental power in the Force that gave her ability to locate and identify others, especially others with their own connection to the Force. In short time, Athena found who she was looking for - a Tynnan. Coming up behind him, Athena spoke out, "Young one... Pechil Crixal Reklai, is it? Greetings. I am Athena, and I will be your instructor."

Pechil slowly turned to face his teacher for the time being, gave a cheeky smile lifting his whiskers from his face and staring at her with small black eyes. "Hello Miss Venirè" Pechil said in a soft, polite tone, he looked at her, she was a Miralukan from the looks of it, Pechil had seen several other Miralukans in the Jedi temple so it wasn't anything new to him. Pechil gave a short sigh and looked toward the ground. Pechil was thinking deeply on life and where his destiny lay, he hoped to find a master, hopefully she would be capable of teaching him enough, maybe then his skill would be worthy of recognition from a Master.

Pechil looked up after a quick five second meditation, "Yes Madam, my name is Pechil, I guess we should begin the training?" Pechil said this with a weak smile on his face putting his ears down as he said this. Pechil awaited to see what she planned for their training, where they would train and what. Coruscant was the Jedi temple he had been placed on, it was after all closer to Naboo where he had spent his childhood. Pechil disliked cities and Coruscant being a giant ecumenopolis sort of disappointed him, but still he couldn't really complain, at least he was taken into the training.

"I see you know of me already." said Athena. She couldn't see Pechil visibly, but she could see him through the Force. Athena walked past Pechil and stopped at the steps to the Coruscant Monastery. "Come now, and we shall begin. And do not worry, training and meditation through the Force gives one great insight. All will be revealed to you in due time. I sense your discomfort... Coruscant is a bustling city, one not quite to my liking either."

Athena began to walk up the monastery steps. They were modestly designed, with memorial carvings of the ancient Jedi of old in the walls near the main entrance. Athena reached the top of the stairs and stopped. She then turned around to Pechil, and said "Pechil, do not fear for your destiny. I can see you, what you are, through the Force. You have a spectacular aura about you. You will see your destiny with your mind and heart. There is no need to hold anxiety over it." At that, Athena lead the way inside the monastery on Coruscant to begin Pechil's instruction.

"Thank You Madam Venirè..." Pechil said in a somewhat embarrassed, but grateful tone. Pechil was a bit too preocupied and was unable to clearly think somewhat, thus he had been thinking a bit too busily without really covering his thoughts. Though his thoughts were discovered he was happy, he didn't like holding in his feelings, he usually kept them sealed away from others, he didn't feel others would want to know as it would be a annoyance thinking about him rather than other things.

Pechil quickly followed his Jedi instructor, he had learned about her some years past when talking with the Jedi librarian on Coruscant, Pechil had someone gained a relationship with one of the librarians and talked on a ocasional basis, at one point Athena Venirè had come up. The librarian talked about how the Ossus library was greater than the Coruscant one at the mention of Pechil's amazement of the Coruscant archives. Soon enough the conversation branched out into the talk of Pechil's current teacher. Pechil was able to fit the description with the words of the conversation and could tell the resemblance.

The day was sunny and for the most part cloudless and partially calm, today had less business than usual making the day more tranquil and missing of the teeming chaos of industy. Pechil followed his teacher to the monastery to train. Pechil wasn't exactly desperate for help and for the most part knew very roughly the basics of certain skills. He needed some help with healing with the force, he also needed help with his telekinetic powers. Pechil had these skills well known and for the most part gained them instinctively and by watching others, but he needed some proper training by a actual teacher. He especially needed some help with using force speed and force jump, only learning the rough basics only recently, beyond that there wasn't much else. He had what he needed, possibly he could learn new skills, but those were the main objectives he had in mind. Pechil waited to see what his teacher would teach him.

Athena marched into the Jedi Monastery's main entrance. Although largely in it's infancy, especially compared to the completeness of the Great Temple of Ossus, the modest architectural carvings of historical figures and events concerning the Jedi Order were pleasing to the mind. It lacked much to be called a proper temple, but Athena believed that Coruscant would one day be a major location for the Jedi. It was the heart of the galaxy.

The senate was maintained here, and it was the residing place of the Galactic Republic's Supreme Chancellor. As Athena entered the monastery, she guided Pechil down a wide and brightly lit hallway. The hallways had large windows that spanned across their perimeter. The descending rays of sunlight made the area seem to glow. Even though she preferred Ossus, Athena felt enlightened. Anyone could find peace here.

At the end of the hall, Athena opened the door that led to a fairly large room with two sitting stools inside. Athena stared at the stools and telekinetically moved them to face each other. Because she projected her energies directly from her mind, she employed no arm or hand movements. Coming up beside it, Athena sat down on one of the stools, sitting in a meditative cross-legged fashion. "Young one, Pechil. Come, sit. We shall begin."

 

[Aquatic Jamboree]

"Yes Madam..." Pechil said in a peaceful tone, he slowly walked toward the stool and sat crossing his legs in a meditative style as well. Pechil awaited for her command, quietly clearing the majority of his thoughts. Pechil needed only to focus on what he was to be learning, rather than be pondering on other thoughts or on bothersome quarrels. He was prepared to begin the training, he wasn't sure what it was yet exactly, but hopefully it would be well worth his time. Pechil didn't close his eyes, or begin meditation yet since the teacher had not instructed yet, but he was awaiting for some order.

 

[Demiurge]

"To begin practice in the Jedi arts, a brief moment of meditation is almost pivotal. Youngling, listen well. The Force is knowledge. To best learn, you must open your mind, clear it of all crude, mundane thoughts, and focus on the moment."

Athena inhaled deeply, and closed her eyes. "Young one, close your eyes. Let the Force flow through and out of you. Feel Coruscant, the true Coruscant. Ignore the obscurities of the technology, and strip away the metal which engulfs them. Even with the shell of a restless world, it teems with trillions of lifeforms. It is alive with the Force. Reach out... sense it."
