Rasu kicked to his arm connected moving his blue saber away from her chest. The yellow saber missed it target by mere inches when Raus bounded over the saber.

Hawk flies backward a few feet from Rasu force kick landing on his back. He does a back flip to his feet and waits for Rasu and Iella.

Quicker then using words, Iella pushed her thoughts to their minds. The Trial has ended. She simply said as she stood up from the fallen log she had been sitting on all this time.

She had seen much this day, much that pleased her within Hawk .. he had shown her more than he had revealed to her through their journey as Padawan and Master. And she is pleased to see this. He has fought well against a very highly skilled opponent, used much thought in his fight to try and outwit Rasu. And his skill in the force had held it's ground too. However, she will confer with Master Gan on her thoughts before they proceed to the next Trail.

"Many thanks Rasu from test my Padawan", she said as she moved between the two. "Hawk go to the Temple and clean up and rest, I will come for you soon", she simply said as she turned back to Rasu. Iella smiled .. "I shall allow you to catch your breath before we talk".

"Thank you Master." He bowed to Iella than gave Rasu's her saber back. "Here you go. It pretty good saber." He says than he bows to Rasu before heading back to the Temple.

He needed a shower badly. There wasn't an inch of him that wasn't covered in dirt. A shower and good night rest and he would be read for his next trial.

Rasu's body stiffened as soon as Iella's words echoed throughout her mind. She stopped, allowing her saber to fall limply at her side as the blade retracted back into the metal hilt, letting off a loud hissing as it did so. Making her way towards Hawk, she smiled as the adrenaline wore off, her body fading and breathe becoming ragged with each step. Smiling, she gratefully accepted the other weapon, placing it back on her belt, opposite its twin. Wiping the sweat off her brow, she patted the back of the Corellian as he made his way back to the Temple, offering her congratulations through the gesture, rather than use up what breathe she had left with words.

Feeding her body traces of energy with the Force, slowly her breathing became more stable, and her muscles began to lose its aches and pains after the strenuous duel. Leaning her back on a tree, she flinched as the rough bark pressed against her wet, soft skin, allowing her body time to adjust before placing her full weight upon the trunk. She waved to Iella as she approached, offering a grin as she slid down the tree to sit upon the leafy ground.

"Enjoyed the show?" she asked, allowing herself time to process the fight which had only just been completed. Hawk had done exceptionally well in her own opinion, although in the end it was Iella's decision marking the overall result of the trial. He had been able to adapt and had done well in switching from offense to defense. But what had surprised the Shi'ido the most, was his proficient use of wielding her blade, having maintained a Jar'Kai stance throughout majority of the duel, something that was exceptionally difficult and one that she had not picked up on till her own promotion to Knight.

Looking back at Iella she delivered her verdict. "If he was my own Padawan he would have passed in a heartbeat, but he is your student Iella, and you must give the final answer. Has the man passed?"

Iella chuckled as she approached her friend now sitting on the ground. "It was very entertaining indeed and you certainly tested him", she said as she sat down on the ground next to Rasu.

For a moment Iella just enjoyed the company of her friend looking out into the surrounding forest, her hand playing in the dried nettles which she took up on hand full and threw it into Rasu's lap. "You need a shower", she said playfully.

"Yes he has passed, Hawk used all his training and some showing me his ability to think on his feet and use his strength he has with the Force, I will soon prepare his next trial". Iella place her arm around Rasu's shoulders and gave her a gently kiss on the side of her head, "Thank you for your assistance in this".

She stood up now, and turned to her friend extending her hand toward her to take to get up. "Come lets get you back to the temple and into a hot tub or something .. you want me to carry you?", she teased her.
