Forced into a new life...(Training of Ksilas)

[Horizon]

"Be slow and take your time. Use the Force to your advantage."

Said Rish in a polite tone. He then removed his hand from her shoulder
and rested it back in his lap with his other hand. He was glad to see
her warm up to the idea and he felt like they had actually bonded without
the need of life or death or through him being a total bantha...

With Rish besides her, she began to work. She picked up a silver, tubular structure and felt it's curves in the Force, then began to reach for another piece of the hole with another...
But she forgot she had no other hand. The part below her elbo just waggled disturbingly, and she sighed and sat back. She tried to grab two pieces in her right hand, but there was no way to put them together without an appendage or something to hold it. Great, now I am horrible at working with electronics and I have nothing to even hold it during my attempts!
Wait! That was what she needed! She closed her eyes and let the Force guide her, lifting up the hilt and using the Force to guide her hand's movements on where and when to place and connect the components. The only difficulty came when she reached for the crystal. The red faceted stone stung the skin through her scales, when she reached for it, the darkness not matching the grey inside her. She grimly reached for it again, only to yelp once more when the darkness shocked her again. She looked in the box for alternatives, but there was only the single crystal to be found. She sighed, and tried to continue, but there was nothing she could do without the crystal. She tried to think, and then it came.
She searched the tatters, which only held half it usually did, and pulled out one of the Krayt dragon pearls. The pearl was light in her three fingered palm and shone even the the relative darkness of the room.. But the non faceted shape, although the same size as the red crystal, may not work as well because of the exterior. She reached and took out one of the teeth and let the force guide her again, slashing the floating gem into a faceted crystal. When she let it fall into her hands, it...felt...right.
She placed the crystal into the mass of componants, and, after a few more modifications, fit the lens on securely. Then she got up to look at her lightsaber.

The hilt was stunning. The silvery black curve fit her primary hand perfectly, the metal curved perfectly in her grasp; which was surprising because most weapons were designed for beings with more... common... handtypes. There were small edges to give grip, and those edges were a more grey blue color. She tested the switch and a brilliant indigo blade burst forth, silvery stands of silver working through through the intense blue purple. It wasn't a saber designed for those aligned along the 'light' side, nor along the dark. It was more than a saber. It was hers. More than that. It was her. It was beautiful.

Rish patted Ksilas on the shoulder lightly as he looked over the sleek, new lightsaber that she had made by herself completely. He was proud to see that she had come this far on her journey. Soon he would take her to see her pet but there were two things that needed to be done...

"Ksilas I welcome you as not an acolyte but as a Crusader of the Bogan."

Rish then stood up and smiled at her. He then opend his arms...

"I would hate for you to leave me like this..."

Said Rish with sarcasim. But not the spiteful kind.
But the playful kind...

 

[Celestialvortex]

"Me leave you? I'm not finished with you yet!" she replied jokingly. And then she laughed, a wonderful sound that tickled her throat, a feeling that she could not remember having. She smiled, trying to recall when she had last been so happy. But then the smile faded away as she spoke:
"Crusader? Wouldn't that mean I moved up a rank? But I haven't learned anything yet!"
Well, that wasn't true, but yeah, she could fight, but she had to fight herself the whole time, including after the fight itself. Yeah, she could heal, but that seemed to be a power where the user was looked down upon. Didn't the 'code' of the Bogan state that all is suffering? But it wasn't always chaos. This, right here wasn't chaos. It was a time of, dare she say it, master and student, finally finishing a task. But was the task really complete?

 

[Horizon]

"Im sure you have learned enough. Just enough to survive.
Now while I stand here with my arms "open"..."

Rish put emphasis on the words open strongly. The one time
he was trying to open up and show a bit of emotion, physicaly.

"And by the way we are going to reunite you with a friend."
Rish smiled and awaited his small gesture!

(Brutally short post my bad.)

 

[Celestialvortex]

Oh... That's why he opened his arms...
Ksilas gave herself a mental slap to the head, turned off her indigo blade, clipping it to her bag, and gave the kel dor a big hug...
it was very unboganlike, she was sure. But it felt right. He seemed as if family now, as she felt his tight embrace; and as if he really was a close relative, perhaps an older brother, she felt safe and secure, even in this place of darkness. She was stronger than ever, and supported by family. She was home...

 

[Horizon]

Rish broke the hug after a couple of seconds and started to head out the doorway. He then turned back and motioned her to follow once more.
Their walk was brief as they entered a rather large room filled with viscious beast kept up in cages. These beasts were foreign to ando prime and were getting violent. They snipped and snapped at the handlers as they fed them
cautiously not to lose an arm. Rish then went to a cage that was rather large.

Inside sat Ksilas's pet that was kept up rather well. Rish ensured that it wouldnt of been treated like an "animal" like the others. So he asked one of the handlers to look over and keep it well fed,excersiced and healthy.

Rish unlocked the gate by turning a small mechanisim which released the locks
and therefore letting the door swing open...

"Another small reward for getting through it all."

Said Rish with a smile. (MUSIC RIGHT HERE :D )

 

[Celestialvortex]

Ksilas almost literally jumped for joy. At the sound of their footsteps, Kailiak had kept her body curled up in a very defensive sleeping pose, merely lifting her head with a weary gaze. She looked perfectly healthy, but just seemed...depressed. As the door swung swung open, the varactyl ruffled her feathers and sprang up to meet her master. Ksilas took a couple steps into the room and opened her arms wide to greet the approaching animal.
Kailiak trotted over happily, her padded feet making little noise against the ground, and making a little Kar-rumph sound as she came. Nuzzling her arm, the varactyl purred, even more loudly as Ksilas began to scratch her eye ridge. Her great macelike tail swished softly from side to side, and and she laid down, allowing Ksilas to bury her face in her feathers, the spines mixed inwith them having no effect upon Ksilas' scales.

Now she had her whole family with her. It was a lovely feeling...

 

[Horizon]

Rish folded his arms and watched the moment play in its own life.
It was finally over. Both sides lost something and was given something
back in return. Rish lost his eye sight in left eye. He gained humility.
Ksilas lost part of her arm. But it would grow back in time due to her
physiology. And she regained what family she had.

Rish then turned his back and left the two so that they might have
their moment with one another. Rish then sent a quick message through
the Force to Ksilas...

"Im going to take a nap...I really need it."

By this time he already made it to his room. Opening his door he fell upon his bed and immediately went to sleep...

(THREAD END! :D I must not inform Sheo over your success.)
