A New Home (Alexandra)

[Tindōmiselde Tokani]

So this is it, the Temple of the Grey Jedi. Tindōmiselde put her small shoulder bag of things down and looked around. She could feel both sides of the Force here equally strong, as if they were one, and somehow that soothed her restless spirit. Looking around, she marveled at the grounds around the temple, amazed by their beauty.

"Wow."

Alexandra yawned as she laid on the wall that ringed her compound, eyes closed and hands behind her head as they acted like a pillow. IT was then that she heard the woman speak the singular word and then without a second's thought her head turned. There stood one that she had never seen before and because of that her body sat upright, staring at [member="Tindōmiselde Tokani"] from behind. "Uh... can i help you?"

 

[Tindōmiselde Tokani]

Twi turned around and faced the woman who had spoken. She smiled and nodded, not wanting to appear strange.

"Yes, actually. Is this the Temple of the Grey?" She held out her hand to [member="Alexandra Feanor"], still smiling.

"I'm Tindōmiselde Tokani, but you can call me Tinúviel, or Twili."

"It was, though its been a long time since someone has trained here for that purpose... might i ask Tinuviel how you found this place, or even heard of it. There are few that know where this place is, much less get here with any form of ease so i apologize if your appearance is shocking to me. You can call me Vanya, it is good to meet you." She laid back down on the walls of the compound, eyes sliding to the side to watch the woman.

 

[Tindōmiselde Tokani]

"Oh yes, about that. I've been traveling for about a year trying to find this place and it was harder than I thought it would be, but I didn't give up and here am I. It truly is a long story that I wont bother you with." Twili's smile turned into a serious face, even though she was excited to just be here.

"I can see why my appearance would be shocking, Miss Vanya. When I arrived I was unsure that there was anyone else here."

"There hasn't been anyone for a long long time. Since before the events of the Netherworld upheaval so I must say that you missed the Order of the Grey when it used to actually hold a place. None the less, I should welcome you here." Her head turned to look at Tokani once more, waiting to see just what this kid was made of but first she had another matter that interested her mind.

"Tell me, you have been searching for this place for the last year. I assume to study here but why here? The Jedi and Sith provide far more notority and as far as power and significance comes, they remain nearly unrivaled by any other order. Plus you see the state of the Grey now, so why pursue this even now?"

 

[Tindōmiselde Tokani]

Tindōmiselde smiled again, but it was more troubled, not reaching her eyes. She leaned against the building as [member="Alexandra Feanor"] was doing, suddenly feeling tired.

"I've considered the possibility of joining either one, but the rules of the Jedi felt like they would be too constricting, and even though I'm half-Vahla, which means I have a natural connection to the dark side, the stories I've heard about the Sith steered me clear of that route."

She took a breath, relaxing, before returning to her cheerful and joking manner again.

"My mother would be ashamed of me if I turned to the Dark Side of the Force. I myself am determined to stay neutral because I want to be good without the restrictions of the Jedi."

Alexandra raised a brow as she heard the word Vahla. At least this one was far more tolerable than the pain in the ass that Sin was. Romeo Sin was probably the bane of her sanity sometimes, as much as the man was a friend. This one though wanted to resist the dark side, which was in all points unique of a Vahla, even the half breeds. It caused her head to turn and her eyes to fix on the girl.

"There is merit to the darkside. A friend of mine uses it noble and good reasons, another uses it to further his own power. Just in the same way the light can be used for the actions of a zealous warrior, or a sage who prefers her forest home away from those of the galaxy. Balance is in understanding both dark and light as actions, not as evil and good sides of the same coin. A person's actions dictate their being good or evil, not the tool they use."

 

[Tindōmiselde Tokani]

"Yes, I've heard of those who use the Dark Side for better purposes than most Sith, but my decision remains as it is. To learn how to use both sides of the Force for the same purpose is a challenge I am willing to take on to protect the galaxy." Tinúviel stared at the ground, finding it interesting and unsure of what to say next.

"Ahhh I see." Alexandra watched as Tokani drew her eyes away to stare at the ground. It was all a lot to say and to think on. One's place in the future of the galaxy was not always a sure thing. But if there was ever a place to figure how to stand in the force without being drawn to one side, it was here. Well, Alexandra hoped it was. Her past record was pretty low at the time, considering the last two students she had. "You know, you don't have to be all formal and get right into the mode of worrying about training. Take a moment and relax, enjoy the sky above or the wind."

 

[Tindōmiselde Tokani]

"Okay." Twi replied in her usual cheerful voice. She was smiling again, the seriousness that was on her face only moments ago gone. She looped her arm around [member="Alexandra Feanor"] in a friendly gesture.

"They do say that you should stop and smell the roses every once in a while. I might just do that right now! Care to show me around?"

"You sure adjusted quickly, i must say you are already quite comfortable here without me even having to do much to make this place homely." She smiled s the arm was looked around her and raised a brow none the less at the woman. "Has anyone told you that you are really happy? Like, i can confidently say that it is strange yet inviting. As for a tour, i see no reason not to. Otherwise i might sit around for the next hour doing nothing.
