New arrival

[Ikiriz]

New arrival, Dezenia's training

The room was filled with a soft humming from the running engines and it was quite cool in the compartment. Cooler than she was use to. The ship was larger then most ship she had ever been on and she was aware that she was far from the only passenger on it. She looked to the Bothan who she shared the compartment with, she was sound asleep with the covers on the floor. Dezenia smirked. She was rather cold but she couldn’t blame the hairy female for not wanting more heat. She decided to get some sleep herself as she was unaware of how long it would take. It was her first time doing space travels.

It was raining hard on the spaceport of Ossus and many where seeking shelter from the brutal rain. Odd enough the sun still emitted small rays of light through the thick clouds. A large passenger ship broke the skyline as it was manoeuvring itself into a large dock set in the far south side of the spaceport. It had a rather harsh landing which caused the water on the floor to emerge in a cascade of sparkling drops of water and soaking everything in a 20 yard radius. It wasn’t long before the passenger was moving out of the vessel, stretching their legs from the flight. The last to exit was a figure wrapped in a brown, wore down rope, with a big hood covering its head. Dezeria stopped and looked at her feet. The edge of the robe was getting darker as it soaked the water from the ground. The humidity gave her a feeling of drowning, but the air was clean and fresh like the water had swept the dirt away. Her homeplanet of Ryloth was a dry place where rain didn’t fall and the difference made her pause for a bit. She held a pair of pink delicate hands out and looked as the raindrops rolled down her hands and soaked her sleeves. She gave a small smile and continued her journey.

When she finally arrived at the jedi temple her breath was rasping and she was soaked. It had stopped raining but the sun hadn’t completely broken free from the clouds. The humidity had tired her faster then she had expected it could and the small trip had sucked the energy out of her, leaving her feeling tired and irritable. It hadn’t taken her long to find directions to the temple and discover that it was there you went to learn about the force. She had been surprised at the overflow of plant and animal life on the planet and was looking forward to the trip to the temple to discover more of the strange planet.

Anaru had a very busy and full schedule already with the murder of one of his fellow jedi. Ever since the ospion guardians had decided to strike down one of his fellow jedi, Anaru had been exhorted to do all he could to find and capture these ospions and bring them to justice. So, he was doing some research in his spare time. He tried to find any weakness that he could possibly exploit and then use against the opsions if in fact, he was going to face off against them.

It was for this very reason, that Anaru was running late to meet his new apprentice, Dezenia. He had been told that she was very persuasive and stubborn. "Oh boy, this is going to be barrels of fun." Was Anaru's first thought as he took on the job anyway. But who knew, this escapade could be funner than he expected because padawans were always so unpredictable. He was a little suprised to see that nobody had attended to her as she stood in the main lobby shivering, and sopping wet.

Anaru came up and approached her. With a warm smile he greeted her saying, "You are......Dezenia right? Would you permit me to take you to your new room in order that you may dry off and feel comfortable? My name is Anaru Orouen and I am your new master."

The temple had been mildly impressing and she had been looking at it’s structure wondering who build it. She wasn’t particularly interested in architecture but it was still different then what she was use to and had a calming feeling to it. Most temples she had seen had been to a goddess and they hadn’t impressed her the least. She was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard footsteps approach from behind her. She turned around with a calm motion and looked at the man who seemed to be in a hurry. He seemed friendly, smiling at her but she was not to keen on strangers, let alone humans. Her hood left a shadow over her face given her a grim look and her posture was stiff. She clenched her fist and gave him an arrogant glance

“You have me at a disadvantage. You seem to know who I am. If you do then you should know that I will not be submitted to any form of slavery”

It wasn’t said in any offensive way but it was clear she wasn’t happy. She knew very little of the Jedi way and the first thing that sprung to mind was the way twi’leks was sold of as slaves. So she was quite offended. Angry as she was there where still a certain thing about this stranger that gave her a feeling that he might know more then the eye could see and she was somewhat comforted by his pleasant tone. She eased up a bit and the arrogant glanced turned more neutral, her yellow eyes resting upon the man.

”I came here in search of the so called Jedis. I have been told they can learn me more about the force”

 

[Flame]

Her fury and her anger at the jedi gave Anaru a quick suprise and sadness in him. He knew that the jedi were not a perfect order, by any means. But selling Twi'leks into slavery? That seemed preposterous, and he would have to ask Master Dewbecca about that for information, because he had heard naught about the subject. It saddened Anaru more so, that this young Twi'lek assumed that he would sell her into slavery.

He tried to reassure her that she was entireally safe from harm by saying "Dezenia, do not worry I will keep you safe from anyone trying to harm you. You are welcome here." When she looked at him he was slightly taken aback again because of her yellow eyes.

The young master listened to the reason why she was here at the temple of Ossus. Anaru merely smiled at her as he listened and explained "You're looking right at a jedi miss. I can teach you many aspects about the force that will equip you for this galaxy and when you get out into the craziness of politics. More importantly than that though, I can teach you how to be intune with the force."

The pity the Jedi expressed was like a pysical a blow to her pride and she lifted one of her tattooed eyebrows in annoyance. She was aware that there was no harm intended in his comment, but she despised pity. She was perfectly suited to take care of herself. But she was not abut to follow up on the matter so she made a disregarding gesture with her delicate pink hand.

“I don’t need your pity but I’ll take your hospitality with gratitude, and I will treasure every bit of knowledge you can give me. You must excuse my rashness but I didn’t expect to be identified so far from my home. And I will take you up on the offer with the room, the moisture in the air here is making me quite light-headed.”

She bowed her head slightly for the Jedi and corrected her backpack a bit, waiting for Anaru to show her the way to the earlier mentioned room. She was also looking forward to taking a better look around the place.

 

[Flame]

"As you wish Dezenia, my pity shall be stored elsewhere. As for identifying you away from your home, pardon my intrusion, but I took a glance at your facial features, and plugged them in one of my data programmers and it got lucky I guess. It came up with everything that's known about you, and I was assigned to you after all, so I had to know something or other about you."

With that, Anaru went up to the desk and nabbed a data key card. He took her to one of the nicer suites and her room # was 505. "Try not to lose this data card Dezenia, because it is a pain to have to make another copy or create another. As for your training, we can start as soon as you are dry settled down into your room, or we can start whenever you are comfortable. Take your pick."

His answer didn’t change her confusion but she didn’t let it show. She had no idea how somebody could be ‘assigned’ to her before she even knew where she was going. As they walked down the halls of the temple her eyes where searching every detail not only to be able to find her way, but also to memorize it if she was ever to recall the surroundings. Her wet robe was leaving a slight trail of water and it felt heavier then usually. Her skin was also beginning to get irritable and red from the friction of the wet cloth. When they arrived at her suite she took a quick glance around. It was far more humble than she was used to but she didn’t complain. After having to sleep in the compartment on board a ship this was luxury. She let her fingers caress the covers on the bed and suddenly she felt more tired then before. She suppressed a yawn before turning around to Anaru.

“This is nice. Thank you Anaru, I wont loose it with my good will. I would prefer taking a quick shower and getting into some dry clothes before we begin practice.”

She was also hungry as she hadn’t eaten since yesterday but she didn’t mention it. She was too eager to let a small detail like hunger get in her way and she could always grab a snack on her way out to training. She took the wet robe off and hang it over a chair and looked at it as it had offended her personally. She reveal what looked to be a white summer dress with slits on each side, held together by golden bands. Her head and her astonishing four lekku was prided with golden jewellery and her body was slender. She didn’t look to be able to fight at all. Her skin was pink but a more darker color at places where the cloth had caused trauma to her skin.

“where do you want me to meet you when I am done?”

 

[Flame]

"Meet me in the main lobby when you are done. Contact me as soon as is possible." Anaru headed out of her new room, gently closing the door behind him. Then, he headed to the lobby and waited there. Meditating.....quietly and serenly; fully intune with the area around him without having to open a single eye. This was the peace that the jedi temple offered all its inhabitants.
