Blades in the Ashes [Saki]

Iella listened to Saki's words, a clarity formed in her mind now with them. There is darkness within Iella, like with everyone, and maybe that is what was stopping her. For so long now, she had hidden it, kept it deep down and out of danger from corrupting her and others. The darkness used correctly and controlled is not evil .. Saki is right, that is what Iella has to do now, bring it to the surface, she already had the enjoyment of the fight now to couple it with this.

"I shall admit to you I prefer the blade, apart from some bar fights .. I am not one for melee combat, but I see it's application and in situations I will .. no doubt .. be required to use it .. so it is good to have. However I will require a spa bath after this session", she joked, " Your words now have made sense to me. I now believe I have not the connection required, the missing ingredient if you will, but now I shall try again".

"ehhh think nothing of it, in truth I am mostly just saying what Darron said to me. The secret is to nod and pay attention but remember that your using something dangerous. Never forget about that and never let it get out of hand, never let the others suffer because of it. That is why I don't teach this to people. We have to be better then our own darkness and realize we are flawed as jedi. We're not the ones they'll put on cereal boxes or talk about with admiration. We'll be the villains of the order the ones in the same hushed whispers as shadows because we aren't the mold. Now come on I suppose a shower wouldn't be all bad."

"It is a pity he is not about to instruct us both, thankyou for his words though they have help. I have no intentions of training others either, I understand perfectly what you are saying. We must keep in contact, if you wish. This is one of the ways we can both progress within a safe environment and with someone of trust. I would like to thank you also for training me with melee. Not that I am good at it far from it, but now I have a new skill to continue to improve ... next time we train however, sabers ok? ", she smiled now with a wink.

Iella went for her water again and handed it toward Saki, for her to take if she wished. "A shower sounds perfect", then she looked around this place .. this shelled out warehouse as a result of the fire. "We could continue to use this place for training, no one comes here. But no showers back to the temple I gather".

Saki shrugged, the idea of training with someone did sound good. It wasn't like she had padawans lining up to get beat on for training. That is what it usually became anyways and there was little else to their works, then she was thinking about the space and a burned out building was as good as the next she supposed for this. Not like they were going to have a five star training place. "Yeah alright we can train together but come on and lets get back to the temple. Might wonder what we're doing both being gone." She slid the robes back on and took off the bracers while speaking more. "Next time though we can go with sabers, though vaapad is lots of fun without."

Iella prepared to leave as well, her head sometimes looking over to Saki as she spoke, she smiled as she accepted her as training buddy, it would, in the long run help them both. "I know you prefer hand to hand and you are exceptionally good at it, and I will learn a lot from you, but we will face opponents who will use both methods and so we both need to be ready and capable to fight in both styles, so ... we can strengthen ourselves in both forms".

She stood up now and pushed her hand into her waist at the back and stretched the spine out, she was aching from the training, not because she is unfit but more from the bruises Saki had inflected. "I need a spar bath more I think", she laugh .. "You are a brute", she joked.

With that she walked to leave the place and for them to make their way back to the Temple. She turned back to Saki, "It is nice to make a new friend", she smiled, "I don't get the opportunity to make friends with woman, it is nice to have a girl around to talk to too for a change", Iella liked Saki she hoped maybe she would consider a friendship at least.

Saki laughed at that comment, her being a brute wasn't to bad a thing she had to admit and Iella was right. They were going to be facing opponents who used both and sabers would come in handy but she also knew the value of having juyo and vaapad because it could be applied unlike others into hand to hand compared to others. "Well I don't really make friends with anyone, it isn't to bad though lets me enjoy the time alone and to myself. Now come on lets go and relax. Your not so bad yourself but you got to get into those punches and deliver them. Going for the legs isn't too bad but remember if you break a rib they won't last as long in the fight." She gave a smirk and was walking with Iella. "Lead the way."

"Did you arrive with transport?', she asked as they walked out into the street. The darkness of the night around .. on the lower levels, it is a constant as the natural light never finds it way this deep. There is the artificial light which sets the atmosphere of the levels, but that is sickly and uninviting to the eye. "Hmmm, you are right, I have to learn that, to follow through with the hits part of the technique of punching I can train myself in, next time we meet I hope you see some improvement with them", she smiled.

Iella's speeder was only a block away, she was making for there. If Saki needed transport she would be able to fit her in ... somehow, as it was only built for one. But .. that might prove some fun for her.

"I usually run everywhere, keeps be fit and slim plus when it comes time to fight I am already amped up so easier to slip into that mentality and state for beating up everything." She kept the grin but walked with Iella, while running to the temple was fine it would just rile her up more and a shower or bath wouldn't help with that. Now just relax in the transport with the blonde and head on back to the temple to clean up. Her grin wasn't leaving cause this was what she needed. Someone to actually spar with who wasn't going to wipe the floor with her like Darron and wasn't going to be smacked around like some of the other knights and padawan. "Just lead the way and lets go home."

"Hold tight .. it is going to be a bumpy ride", she said as she kicked the speeder into life. Since the speeder is only built for one, Saki was wedged in behind her. This made for interesing navigation as her position in the speeder had her pushed forward more then usual. Iella is a very good pilot of both ships and speeders, but this was going to test her skills. She pulled the nose of the speeder up and began the climb up the levels. She was never one for worrying about the rules of the skylanes, which from time to time caught the attention of the local traffic authorities.

"You run everywhere?, no wonder you are like hitting a steel wall", she laughed. "So what do you like to do to relax?", she asked not just making small talk but actually interested in the girl.

As the speeder pulled over the levels and into the sky of the upper lanes, Iella found it hard to steer, so close to the controls. The speeder now going to fast careered up into one of the busier lanes and burst through .. sending others in the lane spinning off in odd directions, trying to avoid collision. Iella paid that no attention, she mind on her speeder. A wide sweeping arc brought the speeder around just barely missing a window in the side of a building, a night club it seemed as the beings inside screamed with the on coming sight. She finally leveled the speeder and made way for the Temple.

Well this was an interesting position, Saki held tightly to Iella cause sitting two on a speeder made for one wasn't ideal but she made due pressing her body closer while wrapping her arms around Iella. Just casually around her waist so she was in and secure as they were going off. The wind blowing over them as they went and she just barely heard the question. "To relax? Well i usually find something to in the dormitories." A smirk was on her face while she leaned her head down so the wind wasn't going in her face and rested it on Iella's shoulder.

Iella giggled a little as Saki made herself comfortable, yes is was a cosy position but can't be helped. The speeder neared the Temple, Iella could see the tall spires ahead they would be there soon enough. "You just stay in the dormitories?", she asked in surprise. "You need to get out more, you never know what might happen", she said with some cheek.

The speeder reached the landing platform of the Temple, with some skill Iella managed to land it without to much of a bump, she would have to wait for Saki to get out before she could as she was to pushed forward to do so.

Oh she never said she was alone, there was a time when the domitories were claimed by her and Codi. When they could see almost who beat the other for most trophies and it didn't matter, being Hapen it was something granting her fluididity to her motives. She rather enjoyed the feeling of seeing who was new and who was of age at least. After all what was a sixteen year old rebelling Hapen to do. A smile did come on her face though thinking back to it as she got off the speeder when they came to a stop and stretched taking her robe off again and holding it in her arm before slinging it over her shoulder."Never said I was alone." She gave a wink and turned around walking a little with a small sway to her hips.

"Ah! should have known better", she laugh more now. Iella walked on till she reached the side of Saki. Taking the Temple stairs two at a time, before reaching the upper platform and entered the great hall. Her objective is to reach the bathing area and hit the tub, she is tired and aching now and her body needed to soak in the spa. Iella soon pushed the door open and entered the female bathing rooms. She grabbed a towel and walked into one of the change rooms.

Removing all her robes and clothes .. she wrapped the towel around her body and went to the large spa. Her hand hit the control panel and the spa rumbled into life. The bubbles forming almost immediately. Iella dropped the towel and entered the water naked. Her body immediately felt the effects of the warm water as it began to massage her aches and pains away. She let herself sink into the water until she was submerged wetting her hair. She broke the surface again, and rested her back against the wall of the spa.

With a look at Iella she walked offering a grin as the stairs came and she took them two at a time. The small tremble to her muscles was still there as she looked at the spa area andd changed, putting her clothign in the hamper for the cleaning services. They usually got the stuff back to her at her room but more then that she stood there and held a towel in her hand. Then she was at the water and sinking into it as the towel went to the ground with a sigh of contentment. Her true enjoyment now coming as her muscles felt warm water over every single inch of them, she felt it seeping into her pores and tracking Iella in the water before putting her head under and coming up getting her hair matted to her face. "Ah this is perfect."

Iella just let her body float there in her position in the spa. "Indeed this is perfect", she replied with her eyes closed and relaxing. The warmth of the water soothing all her body as the bubbles licked at her skin. Her mind now idol, wandered off to a place of pure desire and the image of his face entered her mind. A smile broke out over her face at the thought of him, pity he hates water so much, she thought, it would be nice to 'have' him here. Her body reacted to that thought growing warmer couple with the effects of the Life Jewels in her lower back, they are sending out their healing properties through her body and in next to no time, Iella will be strong again and full of her energy to continue on.

As her mind lingered over the possibilities of having Syn here and what she could do, she suddenly remembered she was not alone. She sat back up again and looked over to Saki enjoying the warmth too.

"What other skills do you have besides melee and Vaapad?", she asked with interest.

Saki raised an eyebrow for a moment as she sat there and was just relaxed. Iella seemed to be off on some distant place where. Well the polite thing might have been to ask if she wanted to be alone or in private with whatever she was thinking about. A grin and a blush coming to her cheeks as hand came to the sides to stretch out. "I am good at breaking things and enhancement skill. There are very few in the order who use hand to hand techniques or know how to straight up brawl without their sabers." Her smirk remained before she moved up and into the water more. "So what else can you do skill wise?"

Iella listened to Saki now, yes she is unique to the Order. "Yes I understand you are specialised and a talent and credit to the Order, if I can become half as good as you with hand to hand combat I would be happy with that", she smiled. She sat there just waving one arm around in the warm water, her body now back to full strength, she could feel it and ready for anything. In fact the Jewels seemed to give more to her then she had expected.

"I am quite good with sabers, but my main strength is in force use I think, I have many abilities but force push is very good and I have one hell of a powerful shock wave, very handy to have, but only really in open areas as it will destroy anything around it, so it is limited in use I guess, but I can control it and use it in varying strengths". She had other abilities of course.

A shockwave huh? That wasn't something many of them could do when it came down to it. Repulse maybe but few could actually make the skill strong enough to do something. "A shock wave is a fun skill, when you build up enough energy you can even make a small quake in the ground to trip people up. That is where the real fun comes from." With a look at Iella's motioned she stood up in the spa and stretched while she looked around with her hair matted to her face while she shook it to dry it off. "There are other skills you do though that are quite nice."

"That or blow the place so it crumbles under your very feet", she laughed remember her time in the desert when she first learned the power of her skill. "But I have managed to control it some what", yes is was only somewhat. She watched as Saki stood now, a proud Hapen for sure and well she might. She has a fine physique and pretty, even the tattoos seem to enhance her beauty. Iella as always will look for the beauty in everything.

Then she look curious at Saki's comment about her other skills, "What do you mean?", although Iella deep down had an idea, but as always with these things one is never totally sure and if assumed could lead to embarrassment for both of them. Although she had a slight smile on her face.

Saki smiled enjoying the idea while she moved a little and came down closer to Iella bringing her hands up to touch the blondes bangs while moving closer slowly until her face was near Iella's. Her breathing was shallow and faint while remaining at a decent distance and speaking. "Well your so very talented and beautiful, there isn't many who can keep up with me." A smile graced her lips while she reached out with her senses to make sure they were alone.
