“It is a technique that is almost as old as the Sith themselves…it is a means of severing connections between life, the Force, and feeding upon the death it causes. It cannot be taught…it can only be gained through instinct, through experiencing its effects, first-hand.”
― Kreia
Having...

– C-3P0
Lilla adjusted the restraints on the pilot’s chair and leaned forward, eager for her first glimpse of the fourth moon of Endor. The small shuttle glided smoothly out of hyperspace, and...
~ HAROK ~
Cold, steel boots touched down upon the long dead flesh of the planet known as Harok, the planet sat motionless and isolated in the farthest reaches of the Outer Rim. A rugged, forgotten face peered at the structure ahead through his helmet, the first step on a long road ahead. The...
“Much to learn you still have.”
― Yoda to Count Dooku, after absorbing his Force Lightning
Having taught Lilla the basics of saber combat – and most of the Forms, Mei had considered her next level of development should be any useful techniques to defend herself.
She’d learned how to...
“For superior balance, use the Niman form. This form has no specific strengths, but no weaknesses either.”
― Kavar
It would have been easy for Lilla to dismiss the sixth Form before a lesson started. Her research had not been precisely positive in reference to the Form, despite what should have...
“I prefer more straightforward tactics.”
“Master of understatement.”
― Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi
Lilla’s development with the various Forms was progressing well. She’d gained a basic understanding of the first four, but was now showing sufficient wisdom to see what the final two had...

“The road is long, but it is worth the journey, for a true master of Form Three is invincible.”
― Luminara Unduli
Mei was pleased that Lilla was progressing through the saber Forms. He didn’t want to rush her, but on the other hand, he wanted her to find her natural affinity as soon as...
“He is a fencer. Leverage, position, advantage—they are as natural to him as breathing.”
―Qui-Gon Jinn’s spirit to Yoda on Count Dooku, a Makashi master.
True to his word, Mei was going to teach Lilla each of the classic Forms of saber combat. And so as to not show a preference for any one...
"It is simple, and its simplicity is strength."
―Kreia
The first things Mei decided to work personally with Lilla on was her use of a lightsaber.
And Mei always started with the First Form. He had an inkling which she would be best disposed to use, but felt a grounding in all would not only...
“It is an energy field and something more. An aura that at once controls and obeys. It is a nothingness that can accomplish miracles.”
– Obi-Wan Kenobi
The old Cerean walked up to the counter. “Do you work here?”
Standing behind the counter, the woman didn’t look up from her datapad. “No...
"Are you sure.. you've spotted one?" Brae's fiery red eyes burned into the communicator screen before her, boring into the sole occupant, a young overly nervous Dathomirian who had been charged with locating Brae's prey. "Ye-Yes Ms. Theyirir-" The boy started "I'll give you the location when...
