Carving out the emotions...(All'ah Fox'tra's training)

[Horizon]

"There is always a choice, my acolyte. I simply say this because what would be the point to follow a path simply because its the only one youve ever known. There are many more. You can always vere off a path and stumble onto a new one."
If any other member of the order could hear him now, it would be considered blasphemy to the order.

 

[Merc|]

Al thought about what his master said. Rish probably would've been killed if the order had heard him. Al wouldn't tell. Al didn't care much for the leaders of the order.

"I guess there are other paths master. Ones that may explore later in my life. For now, though, I will continue to serve the Bogan...in ways I see fit, of course."

 

[Horizon]

"All that I asked was for you to listen and you did very well. Now, I want you to go out into the jungle and bring me something. Anything. It does not matter as long it is of worth to you."

Rish then went back into meditating while bringing some nearby rocks from a river that flowed near the cave and held them within the air with Force.

 

[Merc|]

Something special? What was that supposed to mean? Well, his master almost definitely had a reason, so Al went along with it. He walked off into the forest with his left arm hanging limp at his side. The bleeding had stopped and the cut, which went from about his shoulder to half way between his elbow and hand, had started to scab. His arm stung, but it was numbing.

Al walked in between the trees on the thick moss that covered the ground. Giant mushrooms sprouted out of dead logs and the bases of the humongous trees that layered the planet. Al wandered for a few hours, still unsure of what his master meant.

 

[Horizon]

Rish still meditated in the cave awaiting his acolyte's return. As for the item Rish wanted his student to retrieve only needed to be of importance to himself. Not Rish. Indeed things could get interesting.

 

[Merc|]

Al wandered the forest for hours. Sometimes thinking, but mostly watching. He watched small animals scamper across the ground and the exotic birds in the air. He eventually wandered back to their "landing" zone. The planet had already started to engulf the decimated shuttle. Fast growing vines intertwined through broken windows, as thick moss started reaching up to the sun.
The dead bodies of the native Felucians laid on the ground. Some of them had already started decomposing. Over one, a boy, Al's age, held an older woman in he arms, probably his mother, as she cried. The boy looked like he had been crying, too. The boy looked at Al. Then, he glared angrily at Al.

This couldn't be good.

The boy put the approached him. He said something that Al didn't understand. Al shrugged his shoulders and the boy took out a knife and slashed out at Al. Al ducked under the blade and was about to knock the boy over with the force, when he decided against it.
The boy was using his anger and fueling it into his fighting. That was what the Bogan did. Or did they? Al was confused. He did not attack the boy though, and he just ran back into the forest.
The boy didn't follow, but Al didn't stop running. He kept running for miles. Then all of a sudden, Al fell into a hole in the ground. Actually it was more like a cave. It had been covered by vines and mosses. Al slid down into the cave on the thick moss that covered the cave. He received a few cuts and some bruises would develop later, but he was mostly okay. He prepared to climb back up when something caught his eye. It was glittering. At closer inspection he discovered they were crystals. He recognized them, though, which was weird because he lived on ice planets his entire life and there weren't any crystals on those planets.
Al sat down and started meditating, which was also weird. It was the second time that day. Al never meditated! It might be that the planet was closely united with the force, even more so in the cave.
Suddenly, Al realized where he had seen the crystals. They were lightsaber crystals! Al took as much as he could carry and ran all the way back to the other cave where his master waited.

"Look"

 

[Horizon]

Rish looked over the bag for a moment not expecting to find anything of value but then was surprised to find crystal! Lightsaber crystals at that.

"A magnificent find my acolyte. This will have much value to the order. Also how did it feel to meditate?"
Rish knew that his student did so. Their was much Force flowing through the planet but the darkside quickly injected itsself within the syestem as Al meditated.

 

[Merc|]

"It felt...good. Better than I've ever felt before. Al was confused by this. He hated meditating. Al reached over to scratch his arm. His left arm. His skin was spongy and flexible. Suddenly Al realized what happened. His wound had cured! The once deep gash the protruded all the way down his arm was know just an over sized scar. "My wound...its gone."

Al thought about this. It must of been the meditation, he concluded. He wondered why he had hated meditating so much. Then he remembered the topic of the conversation. The crystals. "What should we do about the crystals, master? Surely we don't want the Jedi to find out about them...

 

[Horizon]

"Indeed we will. Let us leave this planet."

Standing up for a moment RIsh held out his hand torwards a rather large bundle of vines and commanded the Force upon them.

Soon the vines dissipated revealing another transport completely unharmed.

 

[Merc|]

"Where did that come from, master?" The ship was new. Brand new. Al entered the ship. The floors were spotless, as were the windows, the chairs were new and plus, and the controls worked smoothly. How the kark did the ship get there? It was a miracle.

 

[Horizon]

Walking in and setting himself down in the piolts seat, Rish flipped on the engine as the ship came to life and began to lift of the surface.

"You didint think I would crash on purpose and then have no means of living this planet did you?"

 

[Merc|]

"Well...no, I knew you'd have some sort of plan, but I'm not sure what I expected... The ship left the planets atmosphere, and once outside Felucia's gravitational pull, they entered hyperspace.
As the stars flew by, Al asked his master where they would go next. "Back to Ando Prime, maybe?

 

[Horizon]

"Of course. Wouldnt want you to miss dinner in the training hall."

Soon they were back into the atmosphere of the seemingly harmless planet of Ando Prime. It was a beauty from space just like Felucia. But of course on the surface it was hell.

 

[Horizon]

The journey was long and hard for his apprentice but now was time for rest.
As the two walked into the temple, Rish immediately headed for his room.
Rish needed to look over somethings in his study.

"Apprentice, go get some rest for tommorow will be another hard day of training."

Rish closed his door and began reading through the ancient texts of the Bogan. Tommorow was big day for his apprentice and he had to make it worth while.
