Legacy of Kess

[Jakkor Kess]

It had been nine years since the Omega wars and after such time jakkor and his Master,and loving wife [member="Viktoria Kess"] had retired from the public life of the jedi. They decided to settle on the Outer rim world of Lothal far from the galaxy's turmoil where Jakkor traded his wrappings for a life of a simple farmer providing for his family,and in those years he hadn't touched his lightsabers following the vow he and his wife made during the Omega Wars. Besides Jakkor had suffered since the clone wars and finally earned his peace,and happiness. He was still amazed in the years following of how fast his daughter [member="Natalia Kess"] grew,and like her mother and father was strong and highly force sensitive.

Now here they were on Tatooine in a Tusken Camp in the Jundland wastes. He wanted to pass his Tusken legacy on,and she seemed like a perfect candidate for such a legacy. He wore his Desert style jedi robes as he had nine years earlier,and his two lightsabers were clipped to his belt. He was quietly meditating on a cliff,and found peace within the force. He not only brought her here to teach her the ways of the sand people,but the ways of the force. But what could he teach her he pondered he only knew so much himself,and he was still a padawan never reaching the rank of Jedi Knight.

Natalia had never been off of the world of Lothal before so she knew nothing of the galaxy save for her home. When they had landed on Tatooine it had shook her highly to know that the other planets highly varied from her own home world and it had taken her a moment to get her barrings. She would be wearing the same type of robes as her father and would approach from behind and wait for him

[Jakkor Kess]

He sensed his daughter approach and turned around,and stood up to see her she looked like she would both an excellent jedi as well as a tusken one day. He smiled underneath his mask,and said in a caring and the best fatherly tone he could come up with, "Natalia what do you know of the force?"

[member="Natalia Kess"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"It is the thing that flows through and connects us all father." She said smiling at him

[member="Jakkor Kess"]

 

[Jakkor Kess]

He nodded she had been taught well,Jakkor was't always around that much to train her so this was perhaps the first time he did interact with he about the force. He mostly was always busy with working than to talk to his daughters about that. He than said "Very good the light and the dark. That make this galaxy. I have seen both since the clone wars. Tell me do you practice with it?

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Sometimes mommy has me try to use it I am not very good at it though" She said a bit sad that she had failed at this skill. She never got to see her father much so when she did it was a big deal

[member="Jakkor Kess"]

 

[Jakkor Kess]

He nodded once again and walked towards her to stand next to her right side and said. "Close your eyes and clear your thoughts." He extended his left arm out,open palm.

[member="Natalia Kess"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

She would do as she was told closing her eyes and clearing her mind of all thoughts

[member="Jakkor Kess"]

 

[Jakkor Kess]

He said to her as he used the force to move a rock over to them and said to her. "Now extend one your arms open palmed out in front of you. Let the force flow through you. Now that your mind is cleared it will be easy. You may open your eyes if you wish,for what you are doing now is a test. You need to lift this rock here,and only with focus can accomplish this."

[member="Natalia Kess"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Natalia would extend her right arm her palm open and let the force flow through her to the rock leaving her eyes shut not to ruin her focus

[member="Jakkor Kess"]

 

[Jakkor Kess]

He said to her. "Now try to relax visualize that the galaxy is the water within the mighty river known as the force flowing through the to a great waterfall. Imagine you yourself is part that current flowing with the force."

[member="Natalia Kess"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

She would do so but her head would start to throb making her lose concentration

[member="Jakkor Kess"]

 

[Fexa Keis]

Fexa landed, and got out of her V-Wing. Fexa took a deep-breath. It had been awhile. Fexa loved the feeling of the sand on her feet. "ah... Tatooine..." Fexa wasn't just there to be there though... she wanted to see someone. Someone she hadn't seen in awhile either. [member="Jakkor Kess"]. The man was her old master, according to others he had gotten married and had a child. Fexa thought it would be nice to meet him again now that he had a family. It was easy to find him, they had a connection from being padawan and master. Even if it was a long time ago. The sun felt great as well. It had been a while since she had been in the sun too. Fexa's main market was in the Coruscant Underworld. Fexa approached the village, now entering Tusken territory. Fexa could feel Jakkor near by. Along with two other force sensitives, one stronger than him and one was faint. Suddenly a few Tuskens appeared around her, obviously angry. "been through this before..." muttered Fexa "look... I'm friends with Jakkor Kess." Fexa said, looking to see if he was in the crowd. They didn't care and inched forwards. Holding spears, obviously not believing the girl. "this would be a good time to know mind tricks..." Fexa said, there goes the surprise as well. Fexa was gonna do a surprise visit. "Jakkor!" Fexa called out, hoping her old master would come and stop this mess, "I'm gonna get slaughtered!" Fexa hoped he remembered her voice, if not... she was in heaps of trouble. Fexa couldn't kill them.

[Jakkor Kess]

Jakkor sensed a disturbance in the force,as well as an old presence he hadn't felt in years. He rushed through there hut and activated one of his lightsabers,it was a long time since he had heard the sound of activation or deactivation of the saber,or the hum of the blade,not even since his self imposed exile. He saw the tuskens crowding what looks to be a female fox huminoid screaming for Jakkor. He recognized it as his old padawan that he hadn't seen in well over a decade [member="Fexa Keis"]. He yelled in tusken grunts,and waved his saber to the tribesmen in an intimidating manner.

The Tuskens back down to their chieften after that Jakkor tells them not to harm the Outlander,since she is a friend to him,they all disperse and go back to there regular duties of the day. He deactivates his saber,and clips it to his belt. He keeps [member="Natalia Kess"] close to him,and after making sure she is alright he looks at the fox woman,and with red lense he says in a surprisingly,and almost inquisitive tone of voice. "Well Fexa it has been a long time since i have last seen you."

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Nat would be so scared she would hide her hands in her face for she had never seen either of her parents pull their lightsabers it must be bad

[member="Jakkor Kess"]

 

[Fexa Keis]

[member="Natalia Kess"]

Fexa smiled as the Tuskens left and [member="Jakkor Kess"] approached her. "indeed it has, I heard you now have a family." Fexa smiled, "it's nice to see you again." Fexa walked closer. "I've gotten better." Fexa smiled as she threw a piece of metal and then force pulled it back to her. "see?"

 

[Jakkor Kess]

He nodded,and clipped his saber to his belt as he held his daughter close to him. "It's alright young one. You are safe." He looked back at his old student,and said. "Yes i can see that my old student. You have grown stronger in the force indeed."

[member="Natalia Kess"]

Fexa looked at the girl, "aw... she's so cute! What's her name?" Fexa asked. Children were always cute. Fexa didn't want to ask too many questions so she decided to hold off on asking him how her master's saber is fitting him.

 

[Jakkor Kess]

He looked at his old padawan placing his hands on both Natalia's Shoulders,and said to Fexa. "This is Natalia.. She is my padawan for the time being. She is having a difficulty using the force not like her sisters,i am seeing to that personally by taking her as my student."

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Natalia would remain silent through this whole conversation
