It wasn’t difficult to understand her Master’s point, particularly each time her ankle throbbed in pain and her stomach growled in protest. She glanced downwards and exhaled through her nostrils softly in relief; the swelling wasn’t as nearly as bad as it felt and after Zerath’s suggestion of...

Though the expanse of the simulated environment was mostly reliant upon optical illusion, the room the hologram technology rendered within was still quite sizeable and could harbor a generously-sized force of nerds if need be. There were, however, only a handful of others unfrozen during the...

“There’s too many of them! We have to fall back!” “NO! Hold the line, we can do this! No surrender, no retreat!” Lakay’la held a gleaming sword high above her head to accentuate the inspiration, the light of its metallic blade glittering in the hot sun. The blood of the tyrants she slew dried...

Lakay’la found it difficult to put into words, or even thought for that matter, exactly how she was feeling as Zerath’s hand left her shoulder and he turned to lead them into the village proper. It was as though the Miralukan had found a thorn that Lakay’la hadn’t even known ailed her and had...

Now that she thought back on it, the only parties she’d ever been to had been on the trail of an overly-extroverted friend or a sibling’s birthday. Lakay’la figured the latter didn’t really count. The Half-Twi’lek from Corulag had hardly ever felt more out of place before than in the midst of...

Reassurance that the worst of the current danger was over filled her as Tepro responded positively to her pleas and provided the number that would summon aid. Zerath, predictably prepared, soon had the proper amenities quickly on their way. Already Lakay’la could hear the distant whirring of an...

In the wake of dire circumstances, Lakay'la immediately abandoned the jest and surged forward to aid where she could. Anxiety flared within her, stoked on by the tinder of inexperience, and made the Padawan doubt even where she planted her own feet. She was watching two kids choke on their own...

As her Master left to retrieve the bloodied Gungan that had tried to knife her not even a half-hour past, Lakay'la propped a pink hand on her hip and stared hard down at Tepro. She tried to imagine what the young Zabrak's life had been like; tried to picture the struggle that had driven the...

The moment Zerath's first sentence left him uncharacteristically frustrated, Lakay'la's head whipped towards him so fast that she nearly smacked herself in the face with both lekku. "He tried to wh-?!" Her question was met with an urge for patience at the end of a palm, prompting an internal...

The short look that the Padawan gave her Master was nonetheless one filled with pride. He had called them both Jedi. It was the first time it truly occurred to Lakay'la that she was included in that ancient legend; she was a protector now. The pride immediately weighed heavily down on her as she...

A flash of irritation at the scum who didn't even stick around to help the fellows he put into this situation nearly had Lakay'la pursuing the Rodian in anger, but (somewhat) luckily for the Padawan the moment she took her next step a shockwave of pain shot up her ankle. She winced and hissed...

It took the Padawan the better part of a few minutes to realize that she was the one being addressed and Lakay'la did a double-take at the Mandalorian. Her mouth opened to spew out some idle courtesy when blood sprinted to the forefront of her face and turned her cheeks a sort of crimson red...

The ideal Jedi formed few, if any, attachments and this was never so clear to her as when her Master asked her to give up her weaponry. Lakay'la was surprised for the pang of instinctive worry that shook her as she gave Zerath both hilts, detaching them from the maglocks on her utility belt. She...

She'd never seen a Killik before. Lakay'la had viewed holos of varieties of them and heard firsthand accounts of how terrifying they could be, but she was rapidly learning that experiencing and researching were vitally different. All life was connected to the Force, she had been taught, yet the...

The look on the gungan's amphibian face was intensely satisfying to the new Padawan who briefly reveled in the victory of dodging an attack no regular person had any business of avoiding. She saw surprise mixed with fury; a bully thwarted and humiliated in one easy movement. The pride swelled in...

In the wake of Zerath's smile, Lakay'la felt her own lips twist upwards and curl at the edges. The man's grin was positively infectious and with their connection still going strong, the expression was like feeling the warmth of a hearth fire on her skin after a lengthy blizzard. The island of...

The Padawan found herself watching her Master's face far more than her own feet during their walk, listening to everything he said with the utmost attention. Her thoughts strayed to the blindfold across his face and she wondered as many have wondered exactly what it was like to perceive the...

"I..." The word left her lips and held there for a while until speech reasserted itself in the Padawan's skull and she finally managed to realize that she was being asked a question. "Oh! Alright, then! Um. Just call me Lakay'la. That's my name." She accompanied the admission with a slight shrug...

About a minute or so before Zerath's approach, the young Padawan had embarrassed herself by bowing to a man whom she thought was approaching her and possessed a Jedi's aesthetic. However, when he had come close she quickly realized her mistake, but not before the man had shoved a grease-stained...

Ord Mantell, Spaceport The galaxy was in turmoil... and she was standing on her head. It seemed that her training had only just begun when everything had erupted into chaos in frankly typical fashion for Lakay'la's life. Yavin had been a nightmare of blurred panic, dying friends, and blazing...
