How to Heal

[Richie B.]

Jaleer was on Ryloth, watching over his village once more, but once again another Padawan was coming to him searching for help, this would be the third time he trained a padawan in his small village. Jaleer sat upon the hill of his old home, where the ashes of it still there. He was meditating waiting for the arrive of the Padawan, it seems that Jaleer has taken a teacher role having recruited and trained many Jedi even though he is just a padawan. Jaleer used the force to extend his senses waiting for the arrival of the padawan he will be teaching.

Jaleer felt at peace meditating, sitting with his legs crossed and his open palms onto his knees he was what people imagined a monk was like, with his brown cloak covering his head and Jedi robes it wasn't a surprising image. An Jaleer had started to like wearing the cloak close to him it gave him a mysterious look in his head and he liked it. Jaleer could feel the padawan coming closer, and Jaleer waited for the padawan ready to began another training session with his fellow Jedi. Though the village was small Jaleer would be able to see the padawan come into the village, and thanks to the fact it is somewhat secluded it was hard to get to.

An Jaleer meditated on how to approach this padawan, hoping he didn't make a fool out of himself, but he smiled none the less since he has began to enjoy teaching his fellow padawans.

A speeder buzzed through the deserts of Ryloth, a terrestrial world that seemed barren on the surface. Though the thin band that sat between the Night and Day of the world made it habitable. He buzzed along until he came across what was left of a village, burned to the ground with a few huts here and there. One prominently sitting on the top of a hill. He was decked out in the Paladin Armour with a poncho over it. Ryloth was hot and cold, with extremes of temperatures that ranged depending on where you went, topped off with raiders and various other unpleasant individuals or the local fauna. He was heading here for potential education on the arts of healing, even if he wasn't capable of it, it was good enough to try. Pulling up in the village he parked the speeder and locked the console and got off, adjusting his poncho slightly he scanned the area visually. Then he started toward the Hutt. A large Kushari decked out in full body armour was a pretty intimidating sight and for someone who was sensing his presence, it was a pretty tumultuous feeling of emotions racing through the individual.

He was a soldier, a fighter whom had experienced front line warfare and it had left its marks. He proceeded through the village toward the hut, constantly aware of what was going on around him, every noise, every shadow that twitched got a look. The majority of his gear was concealed under the poncho, aside from the black hilt that sat magnetically clamped to his belt, within reach.

(OOC: the village isn't burnt the attack on his village happened many years ago the wounds are all healed up by now)

Jaleer could sense someone who was just a big ball of emotions coming into his village. Though his home was destroy he still stood on top of the hill he was raised on, opening his yes and began to walk down and meet his fellow padawan. Jaleer was wearing his brown clock and would easily be seen since he was the only human in the village. Jaleer than saw the padawan in front of him wearing a poncho to conceal himself, Jaleer understood the heat of the planet got to a lot of people though Jaleer had grown up on the planet and the heat felt like home to him.

"Hello my friend, my name is Jaleer Reukli, welcome to my home, I know it isn't much but it will be enough for what I will teach you." Jaleer said hoping nothing happens like the last time he trained someone in his village since the villagers were still shaken up by it, Jaleer gave him a formal bow.

 

[Krajin]

Kade tilted his head slightly and looked the Human over a few times, examining him, his stance, his expressions. Kade gave a stiff half bow to him "I am Kade, Don't worry, you have nothing to fear of me. Nor your.. villagers for that matter." He looked around at them and then back at Jaleer.

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer gave the padawan a sheepish smile, he was hoping that the uneasiness the village was feeling would go unnoticed by the padawan, but now that he called Jaleer out on it, Jaleer might as well explain.

"I apologize the last padawan I trained here, sparred with me and it got a little intense but don't worry you will be treated with full respect here, now why don't we began the lesson." Jaleer said happily as his love for teaching began to show, though his youth may make it strange but Jaleer found an interest in teaching others, one of the many things that made him strange.

"So tell me what do you image using the force to heal is like? An what are you hoping to learn form this lesson, to heal yourself or to heal others?" Jaleer asked so he could know so he could focus on one or the other during this practice.

 

[Krajin]

Kade looked around a bit as the man spoke and rubbed himself behind his ear, his gold fur reflecting the light nearby. "How can you fix the world if you cannot fix yourself?" he asked rather curiously. "My goal is to learn to both treat myself and others. Being a.. Fighter by nature it might seem surprising that a soldier like myself may seek such abilities. They do have thier uses and it can help along the way learn other things. I figure that to see the way someone may heal themselves or others is to stimulate the cellular structure to regenerate." He added.

 

[Richie B.]

(OOC: sorry it took so long)

Jaleer was impressed that the padawan got it correct but it was a boring way of saying it and didn't sound as cool, but Jaleer wouldn't comment about that having enough self discipline to hold himself back. Jaleer smiled knowing that the padawan would be easy to teach it seems, which made Jaleer feel happy that it wouldn't be a lot of work.

"So Kade, lucky for you a group of hunters were injured though it isn't serious it would provide you a chance to do some on hands practice." Jaleer said than added more quietly.

"At least it wont be on me this time." Jaleer said mostly to himself remembering the time he taught a padawan how to heal by cutting open his own stomach and how difficult that was.

"So come with me, do you want some water?" Jaleer knew the village didn't have a lot of water but it was the villages policy to take care of people that stay in their village.

Walking to a shaded pavilion where three Twi'lek man were laying down injured, one Twi'lek's arm was broken, another had a leg in a split, though it wasn't broken his leg was cut up, with three long slashes, the last Twi'lek had bandages on his chest with two long slashs from his right shoulder to the end of his left rib cage.

"These will be our patients, now just tell me when your ready and I will tell you how we are going to do this." Jaleer said with a serious tone.

 

[Krajin]

"I got my own water." He holds up the Canteen he carried on his belt, the small unit had a tiny moisture collector built into it. "Thanks anyway though" Kade said as they walked over to a shaded pavilion where three Twi'lek males were resting under. Each one sporting a variety of injuries from the simple to the more deeper and possibly more dangerous sorts. If they weren't treated the cuts could become septic and that spelled a whole new level of pain for the poor bastards.

Carefully Kade set his helmet down on the ground and removed his gauntlets, showing a black tight fitting undersuit layer on his arms that ended in open finger tips where his gold, furry hands could be seen underneath.

"Our patients huh? Well, I am ready to begin. I imagine the first thing you do is identify those who need the treatment first? Then what needs to be treated?" He asked, kneeling down and looking each of the Twi'leks over, it was fascinating to see such a myriad of colours these people had, common skin hues being blue, green and yellow with the rarest being Red from his understanding.

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer was impressed most people that came to his village for training didn't bring water, an when Jaleer showed him the people he will be treating he seemed to know what he was doing. Jaleer just smiled and was approving of his methods, though Jaleer wasn't going to allow any of them to die he knew in a normal situation that was what medics do.

"You are correct, but do not worry about who needs to be treated first, I will handle it. Now let me tell you how you will be doing this. When using the lightside of the force to heal, we use the force to accelerate the healing process, though there is a bunch of other medical stuff that we can go over but I will be teaching you the basics." Jaleer said in a serious and strict tone going into his teacher mode sitting down next to Kade and placed his hands over the Twi'lek with the broken arm thinking this would be the toughest to mend.

"Now use the force to feel what I am doing." Jaleer instructed as he began to use the force to bring the bones together, than fusioning the bones together, though it wouldn't be perfect, Jaleer did the best he could do.

"Allow the force to flow though you, and let it go into the person you wish to heal, allow the force to go through the wound, and strength the bodies natural healing process, though you most remember to not strengthen it to much or the body might start attacking itself. Sometimes you can manually do the healing but it takes more out of you, and is only recommended if you have a good amount of medical knowledge." Jaleer said with his eyes closed as he finished the healing of the Twi'lek.

Jaleer leashed a sigh when he was finished feeling a bit drained, healing could cause that and hoped Kade had good endurance since he was up. Jaleer opened his eyes and looked at Kade, smiling though it seemed a bit strained Jaleer signaled for Kade to try.

"Remember you just need to relax and remain calm, I will be watching over you the entire time. Just use the force to strength the healing process, or simply imagine the body healing itself but you have to give it the strength to heal itself." Jaleer said hoping he did a good job in explaining what to do.

 

[Krajin]

Kade knelt his half a metric tonne ass down and looked at the Twi'lek, watching as Jaleer healed his injuries. It was interesting to watch as the wounds began to knit themselves closed. He could feel the projection of the force into the twi'lek. He moved over to settle next to one and took a breath, taking a proper seat, sitting cross legged and held his hands just over the wound sites and began to calm, himself. It took him a few moments to clear his mind, picturing a dark room with no sound or light, then a flame in the middle. Green in colour, slowly letting the light fill out. It was his way of getting himself centered and settled, as well as clearing the mind of all distraction and thought.

It was difficult to say the least as Kade began to channel the force through himself and then into the Twi'lek hunter, a soft glow, barely perceptible to the naked eye could be seen between his hands and the Hunter's skin. His expression changing slightly as he focused on the healing, meditating as he began to heal the gashes together, though it took considerable time for the Kushari to get these wounds healed and it took a considerable amount out of him. Even with his extensive constitution. He slipped back and opened his eyes, using his hands to support him, the wound wasn't fully healed but there was progress. "That's.. certainly.. something.." he spoke out, the gold furred individual flexed his hands slightly, looking down at them and then at the Twi'lek.

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer could sense Kade giving his all in trying to heal the Twi'lek, but eventually he did make progress which was good. Jaleer than decided to heal the rest of the wound and watched as Kade got his energy back slowly.

"Don't use everything you have, or you will start having to use your own life force and that will have very nasty side effects. Now try it again." Jaleer said pointing to the last Twi'lek and waited to see how Kade would do this time.

 

[Krajin]

Kade frowned a bit and looked at the man and then to the Twi'lek "Is there a way to focus better? A certain mindset to be applied whilst healing?"

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer had to think, he always imagine visualizing what he was doing but a mind set, Jaleer took a moment to think than looked at Kade with a small smile hoping to encourage and give good advice.

"Well I would suggest visualizing but, try focusing on positive emotions or being calm the entire time, panicking or worrying won't help and might make your connection to the lightside weaker. But I would suggest after trying it a few times, experiment so you may find out what best helps you." Jaleer said hoping to have given good advice he was still new to teaching though he has taught several padawans it didn't make him an expert.

 

[Krajin]

Kade took a breath and nodded slowly, turning to look at the other injured twi'lek and moved over to him. "Alright, I'll do my best." He sat down fully this time and moved to have the Hunter lean against him, he began to meditate on it some. Clearing the mind slowly was a tough thing to do at first, his being filled with emotions, base needs and such. But he was able to do it, slowly at first and began to focus on the alien's physiology. His mind was rocky as he began to centre on the healing. His large furry hands beginning to emit a slow, gentle glow as he began to heal the man. It was slow, somewhat painful yet the Kushari was able to do it! It felt like an eternity for Kade as he fully healed the hunter.

What he didn't realize when he opened his eyes and let the healed hunter go, was that he gotten a blood nose from it. Kade wrinkled his nose a bit and wiped it on a sleeve of his "Ick. That's not weird.."

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer watched as Kade focused on healing the Twi'lek hunter, sadly it seemed to be taking everything out of him to do it, Jaleer wanted to interfere and help him but knew better than to do that. Once Kade was finished healing, his noise was bleeding from the strain of using everything he had.

Jaleer placed a hand on Kades back and began to use the force to reenergize him hopefully that was the only thing wrong with Kade.

"That was good, now you seem to have the basics down, their is one more task we can do, tell me when your ready than we can begin." Jaleer said hopefully not pushing Kade to much.

 

[Krajin]

He felt the energy charge into his body and Kade smiled a bit, rubbing his nose again and wiping the blood onto the ground from his arm. "What's the task?" He asked, leaning back a bit.

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer knew that Kade needed a more difficult task so he could have a good grasp on the healing technique, thinking of only one way for him to give him another person to train on, Jaleer hated what he was about to do, but he had done it before. Sighing he walked up and grabbed one of the hunters knifes, than sat down next to Kade again.

"Yea just want you to know that, I have done this before so don't worry to much. Just focus on what I told you and remember that doubt, fear and worry will only make you less effective." Jaleer said hoping to give one last piece of advice before doing what he was about to do.

Jaleer took off his robes and cloak, revealing his burn scars on his chest and the long cut scar on his stomach, taking a deep breath and moving his internal organs into his chest. Than grabbing the knife he cut a slash into his stomach, causing him to start bleeding a lot, many of the villages started running towards him, but Jaleer lifted his hand to signal for them to stop.

"Don't worry its not that bad, now Kade if you would be so kind as to heal me that would be great." Jaleer said and laying down on his back, the blood coming out the bloody knife next to him.

Jaleer was sure Kade could heal him and trusted his brother, though they were not related by blood the order made them a family and Jaleer saw everyone within the order as his family. Yet right now Jaleer was more focus on keeping his breathing steady, and not to cry out in pain, cutting yourself like that does hurt a lot. Yet Jaleer did it once before for another padawan and would do it again, yet every time he does he is less willing to do it.

 

[Krajin]

Kade just stared as this kid just on the spot opened himself up with a knife. Was he really that crazy? He put himself into a situation that could cause all kinds of damage to his body, infection, blood loss, his guts could easily fall out! Kade wasn't a medic or trained in any way to reorganize a humans organs in their body once they've fallen out. His immediate reaction was to reach for his kit until Jaleer said to heal him, that it wasn't so bad. Not that bad? His guts are practically ready to spill out if he wasn't bloody careful! What the hell kind of teachings do the jedi have if their members self mutilate to get a point across?

He shook his head as he recovered from the humanoid's want to self mutilate their body and walked over rather quickly. Emotions racing through his features and the massive feline knelt down and placed his hands over the wound. This kid was going to get the lecture of a century after this and maybe a report to the Council as this was incredibly, incredibly dangerous to do to yourself. The large male began to focus on the wound, on the blood, the flesh. He had no idea about human physiology! On the cellular level it hopefully was similar or the same, cells replicate and form platelets to stop the bleeding.

He began to centre himself as it was throttled out of whack from Jaleers actions, his tail stilled and his ears pinned back as he began to draw from the living force. Allowing it to permeate him, his body and now focus it into Jaleers. The Kushari was in a state of almost calm as he began to slowly but assuredly regenerate Jaleers wounds, allowing him to feel the warmth that the living force brought with it. The space between Kade's hands and Jaleers wound had a gentle light glowing within, knitting the wound closed. It took time, easily a few minutes for the full healing to be done. He slipped back a bit to give Jaleer space, inspecting his handiwork and then looked at the human with a very concerned expression.

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer knew that most would call him crazy but for teaching he would do anything to help a fellow padawan learn at least anything to himself. Jaleer didn't enjoy this at all but knew that he couldn't ask someone else to do it and was satisfied that Kade wasn't like Aeryun, she was full of doubt and it took her much longer to begin healing him. Though Jaleer would do that again for Aeryun, for more than one reason though he wasn't willing to admit it yet. Jaleer smiled when Kade started healing and felt the warmth of the force as he was healed. Once it was done Jaleer would slowly move up so he was sitting up, and smiled at kade. Proud that Kade had become good at healing feeling that the wound was closed Jaleer saw and knew that it would scar, yet it was just adding to his collection at the moment.

"That was a good job Kade, I am sure you most have been worried but don't worry, it wasn't that bad, my mother was a healer and I had some understanding of what I was doing." Jaleer said than laughed a little at how crazy that sounded.

"Well now that is over with, I can honestly say your training is complete, at least you have the basics down, which is the most I know myself." Jaleer said proud and glad he was able to help Kade and slightly was happy to see the padawan successfully learn the technique.

 

[Krajin]

"Do you really sit there and self mutilate infront of your folk here when you train people?" He asks curiously. "As doing so I wager causes them considerable distress. Especially with how they reacted. Do you understand the dangers involved?" Kade paced a bit as he cleaned a bit of blood of his hands, the Kushari was mildly agitated from the experience. "You say you have some understanding of what you're doing. Does the council know this is how you train others?"
