Meditation

[Kaï Sargas]

Kaï has been blind for a while, he feels the urgent need to fortify his connection with the force. So it would directly tell him what to do. He knows that , it will take immense amount of training and dedication, but he is willing to wait and train with patience. He thought to himself and remembered that the House of TBD located on Voss has a great training facilitie. As Kaï entered the facilitie, he felt that his connection with the force got amplified, he said to himself '' And so it is true what they say, your connection amplifies when you enter the this training facilite''.

Kaï would like to train in combat skills, as he is good but could use some more training. The fact that he is blind and only uses the force to guide him, makes Kaï want to learn more about force sense.

Kaï made his way to the courtyard, where he sensed the presence of many padawans and their master training together. He could sense both the light and the dark side of the force, strangily he also noticed one individual using both of them. Thought to him self that he should concentrate on his training instead of others. He found a spot to sit and started meditating, trying to get a direct connection with the force

If the Dathomiri was looking for a quiet place to meditate, then Voss was the furthest thing from.

Seriously, this was the planet of Théodred and his Heavenshield Band. With youngling clans, the hub of activity in or around the Voss-Ka spaceport, and the occasional flare up between the Voss and the Gormak, the capital world of the Coalition wasn't exactly the tranquil, secluded world it had been when the Order of the Silver Jedi first arrived here.

Quite the opposite. Voss, today, was comparable to Bastion, Chazwa, or Roon as one of the capital planets of the free galaxy.

And, by the sound of it, may have been occupied by rancors.

Note that this particular rancor was under 1.5m height. Very small for a rancor. He was green, though. And, despite weighing less than 30 kilos managed to sound like a one-boy stampede across the courtyard. He was also wearing a beach towel as a cape.

Because youngling.

Bounding around the fields of the Jedi, the wild Nautolan stumbled across a shale skinned, horned man he'd never seen before. "Hi!" the boy offered brightly. 'Stranger danger' was a concept that the Jedi had been unsuccessful in getting through Zak's head. Plus, at this point, the Jedi were probably hoping for him to get kidnapped. It would significantly reduce their insurance premiums.

"Why are there horns growing out of your head?" the boy asked, as par the usual being sans filter. He'd never seen a Zabrak before though. Dathomiri or otherwise.

The fact that this courtyard is filled with younglings does not bother Kaï at all instead it gives him a challenge, to be able to stay focused in noisy situations.

Interupted by the voice of the of the young Natolem '' My species are born with horns, and Hello to you'' he replied. '' How are? I'm Kaï nice to meet you'' . Kaï lifts his right hand towards the young boy for a handshake.

If Kaï was searching for intelligent life, he'd be disappointed.

"Oh," the youngling chirped, eyes blinking as the alien brah said he'd been born with the horns. Now, Zak was no expert, and was still largely confused on the whole reproduction thing, but didn't mommas carry younglings in their bellys? Wouldn't those horns cause, like, major pregnancy stomach aches?

It was interesting what all people had going on with their heads. Nautolans had head-tails, fourteen in all. Twi'leks and Togruta had similar lekku. Humans or course had hair. Duros were just bald. "Do they hurt?" the child asked curiously. Jutting out from the skin, those things just looked... spike-y. "Does... does, like, the hood of your robe ever... ever, like, get snagged?"

That would probably get annoying. Dramatic Obi-Jinn Windu entrance, and your cloak gets snagged on the horn.

"I'm obnoxious!" the boy declared, taking the offered hand with both of his smaller ones. Giggling, the boy had a bubbly laugh and smile about him as he said,"That's what Master [member="Coci Heavenshield"] calls me!"

Master Theo's Mom was very funny that way. Obnoxious and Zak weren't even remotely close. "Which, it doesn't even sound like Zak!" the boy opined loudly, gesturing with both arms in sweeping movements of his hands as he spoke without concern for volume. "That's my name," the child clarified. Which, no matter how often he reminded people of that fact, he still got called a lot of things that weren't 'Zak.'

Some he wasn't even allowed to repeat.

"I haven't... like, you're new here, right?" Zak felt like he'd remember another grey-skinned, horned person. So this one was definitely new.

Kaï was looking for a jedi master to be kind enough to take him as his padawan.

KaÏ chuckled as he sensed the confusion and curiosity going on in Zak's mind.'' No they don't hurt... at all... well atleast I do'nt recall getting headaches because of them''. He putted on his hood , kneeled in front of the young one to show him his hood, it was intact...no holes.

Zak made Kaï think of himself as a kid back on Tanaab, he was always asking questions to his adoptive father.... As he thought that he needed the answer to every question there was.''Obnoxious?.. Hahahah, your master must have good sense of humor''.

Kaï scratched the back of his head, then performed a little jump, holding his left hand.... How more forgetfull could I be.''Remind me never to scratch my head again.... Yes I am new here...''.

The presence of this young one made Kaï happy. He hesitated a bit before asking the question.'' Wo..Would you be my friend...? I am new and perhaps in need for a friend so I would not seem always to be alone...''. He smiled showing his sharp teeth.

Hmmmm.

A stranger had just sent him a friend request. Should he accept? Zak had very particular and refined tastes when it came to acquaintances, off-siders, playmates, and dudes after all. So to suddenly be put on the spot as to whether this Zabrak met the minimum standards of friendship was a tough one for the discerning youngling.

"Sure!" the boy answered, with absolutely no thought, hesitation, or reservation. In truth, Zak was friends with everybody. Excluding girls, but those were girls. It wasn't like they were people or anything.

Gender equality was a bridge too far when you were nine.

"So where... where did you come from?" the youngling asked curiously. Yavin? Lothal? Sullust? There were so many interesting places in the galaxy, and Zak had only been to a handful of them.

Wait, if this brah was new, did he even know his way around? Have a place to stay in the Temple? "Do... do you need someone to show you around?" When it came to Voss-Ka and the Silver Temple, Zak was something of the Official Silver Jedi Welcoming Committee and Tour Guide. Mainly because he was always in trouble, and the Silver Council made him do it. But, this time, he could do it for free.

Kaï smiled to Zak's answer '' Thank you... Atleast now I won't seem like a loner...'' He smiled. Eversince his childhood Kaï did not feel like he belonged where he was, maybe the silver order of the Jedi is to be where he truly belongs? Where his dream of becoming a Silver Shadow will come true? He has yet to learn and a long journey ahead of himself...

Kaï had always wonder what his true parents looked like or where they came from... But the question he always asked himself was why did they Abandon him.... To a family of farmers, thanks to the fact he was force sensitive he had the chance to leave that place. The only person he truly misses and thinks about every day it's his adoptive mother, she was always understanding and kind with him... He made her a promess that when he will become a Jedi , he will go back to visit her. He entends to keep this promess.'' I was raised on Taanab, by a family of farmers, it was pleasant hahah , where do you come from buddy? Is it okay if I call you buddy?''.

Kaï was lost in this big facilitie, '' It would be great if you could do that for me''.

'' Do you like it here, would you refer this place as home? Sorry for those weird questions... Hope they don't bother you.''.

[Micah tol Powl]

Buddy?

"Sure, brah," the youngling answered brightly. Seriously, on the long list of things that Zak had been called, 'buddy' was probably the least offensive. Plus, the Nautolan tended to have a thick skin with the frequency with which adults yelled at him.

"I'm from Ossus!" the child supplied, in response to the question of where he was from. Being a Nautolan, it was more likely that the youngling was born on the water worlds of Glee Anselm, Sanctuary, or Lamaredd... but having been identified and taken by the Republic at a young age, the boy had no concept of his parentage or birthplace. He only knew that he'd been raised in the Jedi Academy of [member="Corvus Raaf"] on Ossus, a world he'd only recently ventured out from.

"Voss... Voss is, like, cool an' all," the boy remarked. Voss-Ka was built into the mountain, with the Temple of the Silver Jedi overlooking the heights of the planet's mountain retreat. As such, there wasn't any water to be found here aside from ice-fed rivers and streams which flowed from the ice caps down to the aqueducts and cisterns of the Voss. "I wish it had more water though," the aquatic boy noted.

"Are you gonna be here for awhile?" the child asked, getting to a more practical point. Well, as practical as Zak got anyway. He knew what it was like to be a new kid on a planet, and the worst thing was for bed time to come and not have a pillow or place to sleep. "Do you have a place to stay at the Temple?"

[member="Kaï Sargas"]​

 

[Kaï Sargas]

Ossus?

Kaï hadn't heard of this planet before ''Sounds like somewhere you would go on vacation, to relax, I bet it's a beautiful place''

'' Yes I will be staying here until I become a Jedi Shadow it' my dream.... It's pretty cool if I must say, also master [member="George O Rourke"] has accepted to train me''.Having a goal was a crutial thing for KaÏ it's what kept him going in life. Every one must have a dream and so he asked Zak '' Do you have a dream? Do you wish to achieve great things and to be known throughout the whole Galaxy?''. He tought to himself maybe it is rather a hard question to ask a young boy, but he thinks that Zak, has the potential and the determination to achieve great things.

Unfortunately Kaï wa new here and had no place to go, nor to sleep, he wants to ask Zak if he could find him a place or take him under his roof. Seems like it would sound a bit weird, but since Zak asked him the question and seems like he wants to help. '' No I have no where to go tonight, do you know a place where I could stay?''. If Zak could find him somewhere he could stay, Kaï will always remeber that gesture of kindness and will owe Zak a big favor.'' If you could find me somewhere to stay...I would be in dept towards you and will accomplish a favor of any kind...ANY kind''.

The boy giggled at the idea of Ossus as a vacation spot.

People went there to meditate. That wasn't vacation! That was sleeping and hoping you didn't get caught! At least, that's how Zak meditated. "Ossus is home to this enormous Jedi Temple," the boy said, using both hands in order to gesture wide enough to illustrate the scope or size of said temple. "The Jedi of the Republic used to live there," the boy remarked, which may have hinted to the fact that Zak was a Republic Jedi as well. "But now they live on Lothal."

Which, was kinda really strange. Lothal was, like, fifty thousand lightyears away from anything even remotely Republic. And Ossus was now part of the Coalition. So why had the Jedi gone to Lothal? It made going between the Silver Jedi and the Republic Jedi a lot harder for the young Nautolan.

In other news, Kai was already acquainted with Zak's favorite Nautolan. "Astral!" the boy chirped brightly. "Master O'Rourke is totes awesome," the boy remarked. Which went without saying really. Awesome was synonymous with Nautolan. Even if George wasn't green.

He listened, quite intently, as the Zabrak described his dreams and desires. "hmmmm," the youngling mused aloud, pausing as Kai turned the question back on the small boy. What did Zak want to be when he grew up? His name in lights? Known across the galaxy? Feared by Sith and pirates throughout the quadrant? "I don't think so," the youth answered finally. Maybe all that Jedi stuff was actually getting through the boy's thick skull, but Zak answered meekly that, "I wanna be a Jedi Guardian, an' just help people."

Helping people was its own reward. So credits, fame... none of that meant anything to him. He was already famous, or notorious, in a way as it was. And he didn't always appreciate that fact. Especially when one of the other younglings did something bad and Zak was immediately the person people looked at as having been responsible.

Taking the Zabrak by the hand, the boy motioned for them to walk inside of the Temple. "We should get you checked into the Academy," the boy offered. "They'll assign you a room." Zak's room was huge! Of course, he shared it with a whole classroom of other children. A 'youngling clan' as they were known. "If you were young, like me, they'd assign you a whole clan! But, I think you get a room you share with someone or something."

[member="Kaï Sargas"]​

 

[Kaï Sargas]

''Jedi temple ohh right my bad''. Kaï laughed as he hit his hand on his face. It is good to see that master O'Rourke had a good reputation''If what you say is true then I have nothing to fear or to be stressed about, he must be awesome as you say.... Yeah Awesome!!!''. Kaï lifted both of his hands in the air, as a sign of joy , he had never heard of that vocabulary awesome... His adoptive father was always using a strict and basic vocabulary. He thought to himself awesome must be the same as pleasant, if not then he would be looking like a fool.

Kaï was surprised when he heard Zak's answer, most of the kids he has met would always say I'm going to be super famous and have every one know my name!.'' Zak...I sense your choice is a wise one for a young boy like you, choosing helping people instead of fame..The other kids your age all want fame and there is you... I sense that you will acquire more respect within that choice of yours.''. Kaï sensed wise mind within Zak, it is good, as Zak's connection with the force will be stronger than any of his comrades. In some ways Zak and Kaï were similar.

Kaï would like to see his new friend's skills someday...Maybe they'll train together at some point in the near future. He smiled as Zak took his hand ''Here is an other piece of advice... Always be confident and visualize yourself accomplishing great things, and you will be always successful, don't let any thing get in your way...You're smart... The way the people who will pick on you are.... They just don't want you to succeed... But you've got to hustle and hustle... Prove them that you are stronger than you look... Become the person that will make them say WOW!! This is him now? I shloud of never picked on him''. Kaï talked to much but he felt the need to tell him that,like if it was the force talking through him , he trusted his gut. He listened to the young boy as he told him that he will be with a someone else, but it's okay maybe the person with who he will share a room will become a good friend also.

Kaï hadn't had what most would say a playful childhood filled with friends, most of it was, he had 2 good friends, sadly they were older than him at that time and had left when he was 9 years old to start their own life. He was then left with his adoptive sister, she wasn't all bad , until Kaï had accidently spilled a drink on a robot she was building out of scrap and old stuff. Since then she always picked on him and blamed every bad thing she did on him, Kaï tried to apologies many times but , she would never accept it, he was then given a good advice from his father don't try and argue with a girl, there is no point to it, just listen and say that she is right and problem solved. Maybe that was part of growing up, and having a wife.

The small boy giggled as the Zabrak teen put the word awesome to use.

This horn-headed brah was silly. Zak decided that he liked him, almost immediately. Leading the man inside of the Silver Temple, the Nautolan showed the man the cafeteria and then led him further inside of the hallways toward the dormitories of the Silver Jedi. Checking in with the Antarian Ranger's, who served as the temple guardians, the boy was able to get the Dathomiri issued meager quarters facing toward the Hanging Gardens -- a tranquil section facing outward, where the jungle overhung winding paths up the mountain.

Many people considered the views from that side of the temple to be breathtaking.

Getting some fresh linens from the service droids, and the absolutely obligatory pillow, the small Nautolan had the Zabrak set up with his own monastic quarters inside of the Silver Temple in little more than minutes. "The service droids can supply you with new clothing if you want," Zak noted. The Silver Jedi had, for years, been served by the clothiers of the company known as Sasori, with the standard robes being commonplace among the Voss Academy.

Nodding, obviously quite satisfied with himself for the effort, the small Nautolan turned and looked up at the taller man. "Is there anything else that you need?" the boy asked. This was a start. The room needed some work. Maybe some posters... "Training saber? Lightsaber crystal? Datapads?"

[member="Kaï Sargas"]​

 

[Kaï Sargas]

Kaï was please that his new friend got him a room with an amazing view, as he entered the room he fronze in front of the window, this was breathtaking and it was far from anything he had everseen until now.'' Waking up to this every morning?? Seems like i'm already feeling at home here''.He smiles to his friend, as soon as Kaï saw the clothing he was amazed '' WHOA!! can I get this in the color white, It would honestly be wicked awesome.... I think I'm starting to get the hang of this new vocabulary! Thanks again bud for introducing me to it''

Kaï showed his friend his white dual light saber with gold stripes at both the ends of the saber. It has two green crystals implanted in it, but he would love to change them to some white crystals, it would be very nice.'' Do you think we could change the green crystals to some white ones it would totally be super cool right?''. He got this lightsaber from his family back on Taanab, it belonged to an old friend of his adoptive father '' I got this saber as a gift from my family''.

[member="Zak Dymo"]​

 

[Micah tol Powl]

"Saberstaff!"

The youngling's head-tails had perked up almost immediately, as the lightsaber aficionado immediately put all his attention on the weapon that Kaï held out. He'd considered a lightsaber staff for himself. With Form V, it could be extremely powerful. But, Zak kind of liked the finesse of Makashi. It was lot more like dancing than it was like fighting, so he was happy with the curved hilt lightsaber that he'd made for himself.

Which, coincidentally, was white. Because it used a shard taken from a Greater Krayt Dragon as it's core. And because it had come from a Greater Krayt Dragon's pearl, the boy had been left with a lot of similar shards and pieces as a result of the refinement method that [member="Matsu Ike"] had taught him. "Astral!" the boy chimed, obviously approving of the weapon.

Reaching into one of his pockets, the boy produced two small krayt dragon pearl shards. "These ought to be white," the boy noted. "I use them in my lightsaber."

As he passed them to his new friend, the youngling added, "Lemme know if you need help installing them."

[member="Kaï Sargas"]​

 

[Kaï Sargas]

Kaï was without words when his friend handed him the small krayt dragon peral shards '' For me...? AMAZING!! Thank you so much Zak''. Kaï lifted his hand in a fist towards Zak as a sign for a fistbump.

Kaï took the shards in his hands, clueless of what to do '' Huuhhhmmm.... I think that I need help hahahah... No one has thought me yet how to enter shards into a lightsaber''. He smiles and thinks to himself wow my friend is an expert at this stuff. '' You'll have to teach me how to do it someday''

[member="Zak Dymo"]​

 

[Micah tol Powl]

The small Nautolan tapped the Zabrak back with a fistbump.

"Anytime!" the boy offered, with a large smile. Plus, he liked the idea of working on a saberstaff handle. How had the architect balanced the output from the diatium power cell for the two emitters? Were the crystal focus chambers mirrored? How was electromagnetism avoided, so that the whole weapon didn't polarize with that much plasma?

These would be interesting mechanical facets of lightsaber engineering to ferret out while he was installing the new crystals. "Just let me know when you want a lesson in lightsaber maintenance," the boy said.

Taking a step back, the boy moved to the doorway as he motioned goodbye to his new friend. "And have a good night!"
