Walking toward the training grounds always brought a mix of nostalgia and sadness to the half-Sephi. It would make him remember his life at the Jedi Temple of Ajan Kloss, when he and the Padawans that were his friends would walk together to the training grounds to practice with their training sabers. No, he shouldn’t think about that. Remembering the past would only make him suffer. He needs to let these thoughts go.
Elidan arrived at the training grounds and was relieved to find that there was no one there. He left his datapad on a stone bench and pulled from his pocket a plastic band. He used it to tie his long auburn hair into a ponytail, the last thing that he wanted was to have it blocking his vision while he trained. Then he started to do some stretching exercises. Some time ago, the Padawan had read that it could improve the performance in physical activities. Since then, he would always do that before training with his lightsaber.
After he finished, the Padawan pulled his lightsaber from his belt and activated it. Elidan had decided to start with the Form IV, the one that he had more difficulty with. The boy preferred to use the Form II and he knew that a Jedi could become a specialist in only one Form of lightsaber combat. However, he wanted to at least be able to perform all forms properly. All of them would be useful in a combat.
Holding the saber firmly in his hands, the Padawan would take position to start his training. He needed to remember that Ataru was aggression, the gale and lightning of a storm. Used to secure victory swiftly. Focusing on it, Elidan started to move.
