Viole and his latest students traveled off to Kashyyyk. It was there that they would do Viole the Archanist a service and acquire his latest...need. He recently became rather interested in animals, a part of him seeking to dominate them, and another seeking to learn from them. Such interesting things, creatures were. They had no limitations of a thirst of knowledge, they didn't seek to elevate their powers, and so their own powers were...well near perfection. It was a marvel really at how such a thing worked. How in being non-sentient, they held powers that rivaled a sentient. Viole chuckled softly at this revelation as he looked at the Acolytes before him. A small smile touched his lips at the thought of their challenge. He had told them nothing of what they were doing here, merely that they were all tasked with...something. As they dropped out of hyperspace, he stopped curling his locks. His lips fell into their usual solid line, and he crossed right leg over left. His entire demeanor had changed in but a moment of time. It was time to begin to lesson, before sending the Acolytes off to either their death or their future of success. He had gotten a reputation for being a very, very, effective teacher, albeit his methods were...questionable. While most were content to remain at a temple and merely practice the ability, Viole would see his students flourish by performing the ability in a real world application...a life or death situation. It was in this regard that they would truly be able to experience the power, to know it's limitations and see their own grow. Some called him psychotic, he called himself a realist.
"You are all here today to either learn, or hone, your...natural talent. He uses the word natural because that is what it is. One cannot be taught Force Sense, it is like teaching someone how to see, to breath even. It is an innate skill that all life, even those who are not like us, are born with. You simply must be open to it, and even if you are not...it will still whisper to you anyway. However, being open greets you with more time, quicker reflexes, a larger radius with which one may look for another. So always be open, always be waiting for that call of the Force. He will show you how to do so, how to do so properly, before sending you off to what will either be your final hour or your first steps to mastery of the Force." He stood up slowly and directed them all to look out the window at the approaching planet.
The Archanist breathed deeply, he could almost smell the Force, taste it, hear it's beating heart and feel the warm embrace of Ashla and Bogan's arms wrapped tightly around him. Such was his connection to the Force...to the Spirits. Tilting his head to the Acolytes he continued. "Feel it, Acolytes, you all can. The gentle hum of the universe. Tune your senses, disregard the creaking of the hull, the cold touch of metals, the smell of this ship. Push it all out. Feel only the beating heart of the galaxy, feel only the Force. The strings of life are many, and they bind all things. You to him, him to you, the pilot to every beating heart and every bending tree on that planet below. Feel it now. Reach out with unseen hands and call to the power that dwells within...and without."
He would continue to stand there, looking out of the window at the green planet below. It's radiance in the Force was brilliant, all planets were. So maybe it was his own glee that was making this beating heart of rock and life shine so much brighter than most. His anticipation rising, his desire for new knowledge.
