A New Home [Matsu Ike]

[Cynthia Alucard]

Cyn ducked through a few people in front of her, unbelieving she had made it once more this far in her life. The Temple of the Order looked awe inspiring as Cyn could barely keep her mouth from gapping as moved along, inching closer to the entrance. Practically shuffling her feet closer Cyn eagerly looked around. It was so unlike the streets of the cities where bustling crowds composed of all assortments of aliens and such, no more things to climb (Well not yet, Cyn was looking) and simply run freely through the buildings and streets. But Voss certainly has its appeal Cyn mused as she made her way further to the Temple entrance.

Moving to dodge away from stares, she quickly found a more isolated area of the temple entrance and quickly began to calm herself. Evening her breath as her hands went to go to her bows on her hair, the Twins from the carnival helped themselves to her hair, the memory gave Cyn a faint smile as she regained most of her courage to move through the temple entrance. Her fingers though nervously grasped the rubber ball in her hands as she silently made the ball to float around her fingers. If I'm going to be a Knight, I'm going to need to walk in Cyn told herself as she willed her feet further into the Temple.

Matsu moved her body, the temple here on Voss was many things but it was not the most utility, the Twilight Sepulcher was great for training after they had worked on it. She had her hands out while the area around her shifted within the force. Generating the force energy into it while she pushed it outwards through the room. Her breathing steadied and she emptied her mind feeling the cleansing of it all with the repulse as it came out. She could feel someone was arriving while closing her eyes briefly. Since Leori had healed her body enough she had found new vigor as it were and stood in a black bodysuit with the sleeves gone to leave her top in a tank top for training purposes. Her saber on her thigh in a clasp and the disc blade saber on her back while her long mane of black hair was in a tight ponytail. Thick boots that sealed with her suit and fingerless gloves were tight before she pulled the second blade to her hands. The cool metal of the saber hilt she had worked on to fix and polish.

Cyn continued to walk, slowly familiarizing herself with the hallways around her, her eyes constantly bouncing back and forth capturing as much as she could. There was so much to explore, her legs itched to simply sprint through the hallways and just move freely. Quickly grabbing her ball from midair she squeezed it tight as she dropped back into her pocket in her pants. Tugging her shirt she continued her quick walk as she moved and turned another corner.

Finding the entrance of the room she moved quietly, placing her hands flat on her side. A strong presence she felt immense, steady and strong, her eyes peeking through the entrance first but after a quick intake of air she moved inside to see a woman in the training room. Moving closer her eyes focused on her as Cyn noted that she was perhaps looking at someone who was shorter than her. Tilting her to the left a little she walked a bit closer, approaching to her slowly as she stood straight. "I am Cynthia Alucard, Master," She greeted as she bowed down.

Matsu turned her eyes and looked at the one who spoke. Finding her and straightening herself up more. Stiff backed, hair quickly brushed out of her eyes and hands going in front of her body. "Welcome." The jedi kept her eyes on the girl while she was moving quickly with a bow. "It is nice to meet you and I am somewhat surprised." She didn't usually get padawans but there was something to be said about hard work.... Hell she rather enjoyed ones like Sayuri who had proven strong mostly. "I am Matsu Ike and there is a great deal to learn."

 

[Cynthia Alucard]

Still bowed she quickly stood back up straight, "Oye!" She agreed with her new master. Trying to breathe evenly she looked around the room before once more landing on [member="Matsu Ike"] , rather wondering why she was surprised at Cyn's appearance. Though choosing to quell her curiosity for the moment she asked, "What are we going to train today?" Her opens waiting as her fingers grasped one another behind her.

Matsu looked at the padawan and had a small smile on her face for that. She had some ideas of what they could learn and what she could teach but oh there was so much more. She had used the time to build herself up towards a greater level of skill within the force and sharing those skills were something she should do. "I am going to teach you the basics of generating the force and applying it to a waveform."

 

[Cynthia Alucard]

Clapping her hands together she said, "Oye," as she stood read in front of her instructor. For a few brief moments she let her arms fall down to her side as she wondered how would Cyn generate the force. "What do you exactly mean by generating the force?" Cyn asked, she couldn't really guess what that would entail for herself. Cyn had been able to move a rubber ball before with the help of the force but she wasn't sure she could simply conjure the force by itself. Release my senses? Cyn thought for a moment as she awaited her master's next instruction.

Matsu looked upon her and spoke. "It is a force technique to bring the force to you stronger. To make a display of the live force around you." She motioned with her hands for it and slowly started to pull at the ground while she was working on it. her feet apart as it slowly cracked and whisps of energy came up to form a blue ball of distorted energy that pulsed. "It is a simple ability, something small but able to do many things. With the force being generated you can used the energy the world around you produces instead of yourself. Your body has limits, the world around you, the universe does not."

 

[Cynthia Alucard]

"Oh!" Cyn, her eyes growing wide as she saw the ball of force energy growing as it closed in towards her hands. Her eyes turned to her own hands as her Master began to explain more of the force.

Using this Cyn thought momentarily, looking deep at her own hands, Using the Force around me, the galaxy Cyn finished her own thought. Looking back to face her Master she offered a quick nod, "To create a visible showing of the Force around me, to bring it out," She repeated as she stretched out her hands in front of her.

Taking a deep breathe as she began to focus outwards, slowly trying gather the Force around and create something visible. Her eyes closed slowly, trying to visualize her actions in front of her. She imagined a swirling effect, purple color forming into a ball, her eyes opening as she continued to concentrate and focus. Much to her saddens the purple Force energy was little, she needed to squint to perfectly see it, and the ball seemed much smaller than even her rubber she kept in her pocket. Sighing softly she released it and allowed herself to rest for a few moments.

"That seems much harder than using your own self as the source of strength, liking picking things up," Cyn commentated.

"It takes practice but can be stronger in ways. drawing on the energies of the world and galaxy aroun you instead of just yourself. You can work wonders. Heal in a larger capacity, protect and work the different angles. On worlds like the ones within silver jedi space there is the multitudes of life you can draw upon and get their help in building the force into something more. It is why we have temples deeper into the earth with the denizen's of the world over building new ones high into the skies." She kept the swirling force energy around herself and pushed it out along her arms to shimmer. "Always remember to practice."

 

[Cynthia Alucard]

"Practice." Cyn agreed. Nodding once she looked with awe towards her master as she maneuvered the Force around herself. Cyn's own hands though were placed in front of her as she frowned for a moment. She flopped down on the floor, her legs sitting crossed over one another. Eyes closing once more, her concentration expanding with the Force.

To use everything around you, expand Cyn thought deeply as she reached out outwards to the Force instead of it in herself. Expanding her mind she then focused it towards between her hands. She did not bother to make it visible with color, adding such effect was too difficult, instead she focused on simply generating it between her hands. Calming her breathing she kept up her swirling force of energy in front of her. Cyn continued to pull around her, trying to ignore her own Force strength within her to add to her swirling energy force between her hands. Suddenly Cyn stopped expanding, instead she choose to maintain it as she continued to try and keep it steady between her hands.

Matsu watched her moving to a position near the padawan but off to the side while she clasped her hands together in front of her. She looked on allowing the force energy she had generated to join with the padawans and give it to her. "There you go, now use it to create a cushion below you. Something you can let left you and rise up into the air as high as you are able to." Her feet slowly started to rise as the force energy shimmered below her feet bringing up up a little at a time.

 

[Cynthia Alucard]

Cyn kept her focus, but diverted enough to attend the words from her master. She felt the energy increase dramatically between her hands, swirling greater now than it could ever on her own. Nodding once as she slowly opened her eyes as she slowly maneuvered the force energy beneath her, raising herself slowly.

Her hands no longer holding the Force between her hands, it was a physical practice. For her as she knew the real training was using her mind to will the Force around her. The swirling ball of Force was nicely keeping her afloat a few feet in the air, concentrating on keeping it thus so. A smile emerged as she felt herself lifted up, it began to waver slightly as she lost a bit of focus but Cyn managed to regain her composure.

"This is so awwwesome," She chirped quickly, a light laugh escaped her lips as she quickly refocused her mind.

Matsu looked at the girl when she spoke and didn't frown but her face showed something. Between disappointment and amusement.. A good teachers glance and she spoke. "It can be but be careful, you don't want something awesome to be given more care then your other studies. We will move to the next thing now use the energy to bring it inside yourself and fill your lungs."

 

[Cynthia Alucard]

Cyn looked amused even more as she kept up her focus on keeping herself afloat. Of course she knew the importance of giving importance to other aspects of training, it reminded her of her earlier gymnastic days, but doing something cool, well, was cool. When her master redirected her attention to another part of training it quickly shattered her focus and she felt her bottom hit the floor underneath her. Giving a not so graceful "Hmph!" Cyn winced as she rubbed the spot for a moment. "Ow," She muttered as she turned to face her Master, with a somewhat sorry expression.

"Inside of me? Like empowering me?" Cyn asked, her mind racing with the possibilities, like a tornado of ideas swirling in her minds. "Sounds pretty cool," Cyn said thoughtfully.

"Yes, you are empowering yourself to hold your breath for hours or even with practice days on end. To be able to survive gas attacks and dangerous situations or just a wet wookiee." The last was kind of a joke, there was nothing like sitting next to a wet wookiee on a ship when the environmental controls made it a little warmer or that were working with other things. "You push the force throughout your body and working it into a fine display of energy that can keep you strong."
