Location: Temple Dojo, Vonnuvi Ship
Objective: Force Speed Training
The fall hadn’t hurt as much as the embarrassment she currently felt as the Kazelrrian got back up and dusted herself, fiery auburn shades licking at the bottom of her hair that further highlighted the rosy tint on her cheeks and tip of her ears. An apologetic smile was given to their instructor as Mahsa did her best to keep her own emotions from radiating outwards, unwilling to add more to the woman’s plate than she already had.
She was thankful for the attempts of everyone at trying to explain the abstract use of the Force, with Katarine’s advice being the most solid as she reminded the padawan to try and focus the energy into her legs. Aris’ advice was more of an encouragement, the Epicanthix reminding her to not
overthink the process, while Nir likened it to the feel of the wind.
"G-Got it." No, she really didn’t, but Mahsa was thankful regardless. The girl took a deep breath before closing her eyes, attempting to rid herself of most distractions as she focused.
One thing had become evident even as she’d read countless books, the Force seemed to manifest differently for each individual. Some things were similar enough for them to find common ground with one another, but at the end of the day no one would know better than themselves how it truly worked.
It was up to her to figure out how the Force could coordinate with her intentions… but that was easier said than done.
Sound won’t help this time, It had taken a while for her to understand that the soft harmonize that whispered into ears on occasion had been from the Force, often guiding her steps to places it perhaps believed the young girl should be.
The wind then…?
She’d never considered it before, but now that the idea had been planted by Nir the girl was willing to give it a try… even if the environment inside the ship made it somewhat hard. There was no natural wind here like in the Temple or the surface of other planets, but she could still feel a tickle on her skin as the air circulated throughout it.
Focus on pulling it… and gather it into my legs. The thought was left vague purposely as Mahsa avoided thinking on
how this would work, the words of Aris echoing in the back of her mind. It was gradual at first and almost imperceptible, but just when the Kazelrrian had been about to give up she’d felt it.
The energy was mellow and inviting as it slowly gathered, warming up the skin around her legs—her calves in particular—as Mahsa did her best to guide her into her muscles like Katarine had instructed.
Just do it… I can do it…! She slowly shifted into a running position, ignoring the racing heartbeats within her chest as she prepared for a second attempt.
"H-Here I goooaaah!!!" It had worked, but the burst of unnatural speed had been more than what the Kazelrrian had thought it could be as she suddenly found herself darting off in a straight line—with a wall rapidly closing in.
