Alma decided to be a little more subtle. From her hiding place she grasped two sections of a wall and willed them to break free and rush directly into two of the speeder bikes.
Alma's eyes were closed; her face making it appear as if she were resting. She had been open to the Force since she had first sensed the darkness; her feeling had been right. Alma considered her answer as the question was asked. Her eyes opened slowly before she at last said, "We could wander...
Alma nimbly mounted her speeder as she found herself zoning into the mission that lay before her as she always did. Her hand found her lightsaber and grasped it for a moment; drawing focus and peace from the crystals that lay within. She then let herself rest as she awaited the others.
Alma had herself open to the eddies and currents of the Force. Still, she wasn't lost in it, and answered swiftly, "I can feel the dark side in this place... I think force users must be involved somehow. And Siri... you're thinking too much. Your worrying is making you think without the Force...
Alma yawned as she got herself up and pocketed the datapad that she was often found reading from. It had been 4 years since her training had been completed; that same amount of time since she had gone on a mission with her former master. Their paths had only crossed in passing in the years that...
Alma looked at her master from the corner of her eye, before murmuring, "I'm still working on that, but for now... being a Jedi means helping find peace and defending life, even at your own personal expense." Her hand shifted slightly at her side as she finished.
Alma moved to sit down at her master's side; not speaking for a few moments thereafter. Her voice was confident and thoughtful, "I'm not sure yet; I think I need to see more before I decide."
Alma sighed in relief, before realizing that she could 'hear' the call of some of the nearby crystals. She wandered aimlessly, with a certain tiredness to her limbs. Still, she continued onward, until she came across her first crystal; it was blue.
Quickly recalling her studies, she realized...
"I have nothing more to say to you... you are beyond reason. My feelings are my own." With that, Alma brought her lightsaber to hand once more, and in an effortless desplay of sheer detached ferocity, she went into a kinetic spin that sliced right through the being's chest; unguarded in its...
Alma closed her eyes, she needed to find herself. Even if she died, she wanted to at least go down with some clarity.
Oddly, her mind jumped back to her free-running.
For Alma, boredom haunted her; academically and otherwise. She was lazy when it came to boring tasks, but naps were even...
Alma wasn't going to break now; even if the words stung a little on the inside. Alma let her lightsaber drop, before releasing her own lightning. The attacks hit each other and began a deadly game of tug of war.
Alma dove out of the way; rolling to quickly recover. She grimaced, her copy seemed stronger than her. Plan, plan, need a plan... Quickly she grasped the outer layer of the cave's wall with the Force; giving it a sharp tug and causing it to come off and go flying at the Dark Alma.
Alma parried the blade and swept them upwards as they connected; as her foe's arms came up, she turned to try and swipe off her foe's blade hand. Focus...
Alma was silent as she looked at her reflection; she didn't need to answer it, didn't want to answer it. She brought her blade to her hands with the Force; allowing herself to be washed into its flow. She brought her blade to a ready position, and gave no ground.
Alma bowed before heading off; blocking the wind with her arm as she tredged on. She hummed to herself to help pass the time, and soon the caves she had been directed towards came into view.
As she made her in, she pulled down her hood, and opened herself up fully to the Force. She flowed...
Wrapping her scarf around her neck, Alma pocketed her datapad and made to exit. Stepping out into the frostbitten snow world, she felt the wind race against her face. It was cold, but there was an eeries peace to place.
Alma was glad she had packed a scarf and thick robe. Too, she loved snow, even if she had only seen it a few times on offworld family outings. With a smile, she returned her attention to her datapad, but likewise ducked into the vessel.
Alma came walking into the hanger bay with her datapad in hand and her entire presence centered. She seemed a little tired, but her presense in the force was deep and flowing now; she emanated the control she had begun to show yesterday. With a bag slung over her shoulder with the essentials...
Alma could see the excitement Siri was holding back in how she held herself and how she moved. Her patience was still in good standing however, and she did not press her master. Taking the order as dismissal, Alma bowed before taking her leave; returning to her room where she intended to read...
