Monster Hunting

He looked at him. "I have known a lot of masters, this isn't twenty questions. Ask what you wish to ask." He said it while remaining there at the ready in case there was anything that might keep coming after them with rapt attention. The look at the padawan while he stood there listening to both him and everything else around them. The slithering sounds of the creatures that were moving away from the bodies, babies that wanted to get warm and some of the older but not grown enough to pose a problem yet children staying away from the dangerous jedi master that was usually around smashing them before they could go out and find some of the locals to attack. He was ready to answer questions as needed but a master he knew who fell in battle described a great number of them.

It was then no sooner had he posted the answer to his question that another came his way.

"I have known a lot of masters, this isn't twenty questions. Ask what you wish to ask."

In which time turned gaze at his direction at which time between the shadow of darkness that slowly came and the faint light of the campfire. He couldn't help but ponder thoughts that seem faintly plagued his mind since his return. Gaze out as he seems noted that standing there his question had to seem been to him. Incoherent and at best misguided or too vague. At any rate, take the moment to collect his thought before speak out again .

"My apologies Master Syn.....i guess had just briefly let my thought been distracted. At any rate, I guess your right....best I get to the point.....as in regards to who. I wish to speak of Master I'ella.....who as much I could have gathered from the records and what little I can of my fragmented memory. Had been at the time briefly been my Master and the one I speak of. That I was hoping given your standing in the order and well......that you might know.....or very least tell me about her perhaps?What was she like?As best i can fathom...."

He paused for a moment when the padawan finally spoke. A look over at him before he started to speak. "Yes I knew her, a talented padawan and wise master if stubborn. She was skilled and she knew it which brought about issues, she eventually only seemed to care about being right and it was saddening." He felt terrible about it but raised an eyebrow seeing this padawan as one of her own for a time. "She died terribly and has only left memories behind for some. Not much else in the way of her children. Her daughter went off and found a new family seemingly abandoning the rest in exchange for compliments and her son stayed with his father and master learning how to fight some of the darker monsters in the galaxy. It has been a very interesting time since then."

It then seemed no sooner had he finished speaking that Master Syn turn faced him speak.

"Yes, I knew her, a talented padawan and wise master if stubborn. She was skilled and she knew it which brought about issues, she eventually only seemed to care about being right and it was saddening."

At which time seem much like a child being told by a long lost parent. Ronin just stood there with his head cock to one side as he intently listens to every word he said.

"She died terribly and has only left memories behind for some. Not much else in the way of her children. Her daughter went off and found a new family seemingly abandoning the rest in exchange for compliments and her son stayed with his father and master learning how to fight some of the darker monsters in the galaxy. It has been a very interesting time since then."

At which time note how he'd then with but an eyebrow raised while he then glanced over his way. Before he then continued on speak and he although sadden yet oddly somewhat contented. As he then spoke.

" I see well guess in a way it put things in a better perspective and for that, I thank you Master Syn...."

He then stood up and gave him a respectful bow or nod in retrospect as he continued on.

"....for its just been hard....feeling this void I could not understand.......and to now know of and about her. from someone who knew her best....hopefully that one day I could piece together what it is I've lost....and somehow make her proud. That at least I've done something worthwhile or could be better than when she first found me....."

His words then seem cut short as in back his mind...brief images and glimpse things he'd so far learn. Of past, he had yet to unravel came mind. But then not wanting to wallow much in the past and strive makes good with future he had yet before him. Ronin then with renewed steadfast determination turn towards Master Syn .

" And I guess with that settled there is only the matter of continue on with our lesson . That is if and when you say so Master Syn..."

That was a strange way to put it as he remained there and looked out. Giving it a few moments before speaking with a raised eyebrow. "Why wouldn't we continue, you knowing Iella does little to change that you are a padawan in need of learning how to properly be a jedi." He remained focused with some of the things there while the researchers were still getting some fo the bodies grabbing the arms of the beasts. Dragging them over as he spoke. "Bring the third one, we'll give it to the researchers and they'll break it down for a special treat with some of the jedi that want to use it." He knew some of the things the skins he brought in were used for with all of the harder work. He could turn these over to Matsu and company to weave and use for their special properties.

It was then as he noted to notice how after much that was said about it. That Master Syn, for the most part, stood so stoic as he seems to stare off into the distant darkness. As in the brief moment of silence passed between the two before he'd eventually spoken out seem in retrospect.

"Why wouldn't we continue, you knowing Iella does little to change that you are a padawan in need of learning how to properly be a jedi."

To which with a seem calm demeanor he in turn towards him.

"...perhaps having lost so much of my past that I can't help but feel unsure. Of what is or was but in gaining back even a fragment of that past help me move forward....."

He then turns his gaze onto the floor as continue on.

"...as I hope to make sense of it all..."

By then seem his attention then turn towards the piled up dead creatures on the sideline.

" At any rate, I guess what's done is done and what next Master Syn?"

His face then slowly took on back that strong resolve of a student rather than a lost child.

"Bring the third one, we'll give it to the researchers and they'll break it down for a special treat with some of the jedi that wants to use it."

He then noted him say and seem without hesitation he head off to do as he was asked. As he then continued on with his training.....

He was looking at him and leading the way into the ship with the bodies of the creatures. The researchers and droids were working on things while he moved to sit down on one of the platforms. He was heading towards the larger sections and work they had going on Rhen Var, the research labs at the citadel was a big thing before he finally spoke. "We are going to head to one of the research labs, perhaps some of it can jog your memories and if not I will pop you in the head to job your memories." He said it and didn't really leave it for a joke... or was it when he started meditating with some of the padawans on the ship that were working over the things starting to break down the creatures by retrieving the blister pods on it They would with the skin provide plenty of research and crafting material.

It was then thought it sort perplexed him, as in the way or manner of which this Jedi Master named Syn. Seem to go about his teaching which for the most part was no less far different from what he had encountered thus far from the others such as Master Coci. For it seems to be a harsher and directly hands on approach

But at any rare Ronin dare not question and instead followed thru with the task. Following ever so closely behind him as he slightly shifted his stance once he'd gotten a good handhold of the beast in question. At which time with the dead carcass of the creature towards what he assumed to be some sort of research ship. That he had to pause, as his eyes sort had seemed try to readjust to the light. And seem to make out the other oddly shaped or piece of creatures about. Broken down or seem directed to some degree that sort left him in awe. For thought, he had to seem traveled much in the outer rim. he couldn't quite shake the child-like curiosity about him. Whenever faced with new or interesting sight. But just the same this seem not escape Master Syn notice as he no sooner spoke.

"We are going to head to one of the research labs, perhaps some of it can jog your memories and if not I will pop you in the head to jog your memories."

To which he could only but cock his head to one side as he looked up at him. Seem unsure if he was serious about it or not....but then again note the serious straight face he figured. This was no joke or jest and that, unlike Master Coci....Master Syn was all business thru and thru.....at any rate figure seeing he was the Master....and that it was he that ask this of him. Ronin opted to follow thru with his word to him....as do as he was asked. Hope against hope that perhaps a more direct and straightforward approach would get him where he desperately wanted to be so bad. Which was the truth behind his past.....good or bad he figured it was what he wanted. And so with a stern gaze of determination he nodded and replied.

"Yes , Master Syn....."

Syn continued to lead the way through the ship setting everything that they would be able to get the creatures loaded in and he stood there. "Master Syn, you really should let us take a look at those." The one medic said it while she was looking them over and the jedi master started washing his hands seeing with the force the padawan following him. "Alright then, just do it." She wasn't idding though and moved him over to the one table as he sat there. His pants were torn up and removing his sash so the eyeless miraluka hybrid was prepared to struggle but fighting doctors was not exactly in his palns going forward as far as he knew. "Padawan make sure you don't have any of the blood on yoou, don't want to have something following you home."

[member="Syn"]

It was then that with the beast carcass lugged behind him as he'd been following behind Master Syn. As if anything else from the brief moment he'd met him Ronin seem to get the idea. He was not one for small talk and really did mean much of what he said. So not wanting to be on the retrieving end of a smack on the head. He did his best to behave thought that was somewhat harder said than done. As no sooner had they enter that his attention seems be distracted by the going on around them. That he'd at first had to take moment focuse his attention back to Master Syn as he spoke.

"Padawan make sure you don't have any of the blood on you, don't want to have something following you home."

In which case, he'd replied back once the beast he'd been lugging along was taken from him.

"Yes, Master Syn....."

He then looks down to himself that he only then took note. How his shirt had to seem been stain by a bit of blood.....were they his or the beast he could quite say. For in the darkness of the abyss of the fight pit they just came from and the somewhat ill-lit camp....it was hard to take notice. At any rate looking them over he could only breath a slight sigh of relief for thought bruised . He had not gotten wounded badly other that some small cuts and nicks...so figuring it be best, He'd take off his shirt and grab a new one he'd happen note lying on the side table beside him. Slip it on and held the bloodied one in one hand.

[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

He remained there while looking at the padawan and his senses were flared and ready, there was a lot of work still to be done and he knew how to train the boy at least somewhat... he seemed to be in his head a lot fo the time which left the jedi master there working on some more of the things. Pushing himself and everything that he was able to present with it around. "Master Syn, I wish you wouldn't try and fix the wounds yourself, your healing talents are about on the level as my skills with flying. To many claw marks on you and not enough that are showing your healing factor is catching everything with them including the barbs and slivers that can lead to infection. You might be strong and nine hundred years old almost but you can still get sick like the rest of us." He knew better then to argue with her while she continued to work with it and he was getting it all done while waiting for news of what they were doing or going to be able to handle. "Now we will start to work on your skills padawan, work of your skills with sensing for the ones in this ship."

It was then that as he stood there on the sideline with the bloodied shirt in hand still. Ronin could help but feel a sense of brooding dark cloud come over him. That, for the most part, seem made him appear to be lost in thought.withing the depth of his own mind. Lost in a sense that somehow the very sight, sound, and smell of the place. Was somewhat put him on the edge, as it brought out a mix of an unknown sense of sorrow, fear and something else. Something that he couldn't for the life of him discernable to clearly. That however much harder he'd tried to see it or even grasp at it intently in his mind. It for the better part seemed so far away...distance and elusive much like gentle mist in the early hours of dawn in his seem adoptive home.

And with this along with the overhearing faint conversation. Between one the stranger on the ship and Master Syn. That all but brought his consciousness back to the reality of then and now. How if seems in a brief moment he couldn't quite help but wonder. At seem almost nine hundred years old....so as the stranger noted. Had Master Syn seemed much in his lifetime? Of wars or strife ........enemy and love ones fade into the embrace of the eternal sleep....of sunrise and sunset....And of all the distant and close memories....how many he wonder he'd kept and all but left to set adrift away from memory?Which by all accounts made him feel perhaps his own lost memory could be no less appear so insignificant to his although part of him fancy to keep all this to himself. For as far he'd learn thus far from the temple amongst the other Masters. It was not a Jedi place to question nor doubt...but to do and act as the force willed it so. Which seem to him be such a lofty idea insurmountable to even .....but then again it had been too early his training. ...


But then before he could contemplate this further his thoughts was brought back to the reality of the then and now by Master Syn words.

"Now we will start to work on your skills padawan, work of your skills with sensing for the ones on this ship."


To which although try as he did to push the earlier thought aside there was the matter of feel of mysterious uneasiness. That hard as he tried could not shake off as easily. As all around them, he could help but faintly hear buzz whine of saw cut into the beast carcass. Of the myriad of experiments being conducted in the far distance. Of the fair amount of jumbled signatures of life, death and everything in between. Something which in his time of isolation out there in the depth of space alone. Before Master found him and brought him to the temple had been something he dreads. For it haunted his dreams.......faint flashes of what he could only assume from few sessions he'd had with some the healer Master in the temple. Could be speculated as being fragments of some subconscious conflict or a distant life as but buried? There was no telling for certain.....

But then take moment to breathe and collect his thought Ronin did his best. Following thru with his Master Coci comforting words in mind to push them aside. And with a nod answered back.

"What will you have me do next Master Syn..."

Syn watched the padawan and sat there while the one healer was attending to his wounds, nothing to much but he could feel and see the force coming across the area when he was reaching out. Allowing the force energies to course throughout his body as the sounds all around were coming to them. The jedi master allowed the force to flow when the padawan was working and training for himself, he had been showing a good amount of potential with his skills in hand to hand and now with his senses. THis would come in handy until he was prepared to see what they could do next for his training. Rebuilding a mind with the basics to develop the foundation was an important thing. "Very good, the next step it to test your abilities to use the force. Start simple, moving the loose objects around you."

[member="Syn"]

It took a while but eventually Ronin had been able to reign in his somewhat chaotic mind to be still if but for a moment for now. As from the sideline turn to Master Syn, he listened to his words as he spoke in seem the same stern yet commanding voice as earlier.

"Very good, the next step it to test your abilities to use the force. Start simple, moving the loose objects around you."

At which time with a nod he then turns his attention round to glance over to one side. Where in small heap pile were few discarded loose spare parts on one side and seem mix max monster fragment .Which to figuring it be place to start in achieving that which was ask of him. He then set about the task by first centering his concentration ad pulling from what he'd learn thus far about the force use.From both Master help and from time spent with his friend Freira. He did his best to set about the task which at best garner bit of mix result. With him barely maketh spare parts twitch at first as he felt seem unable to connect as well with said inanimate object as he di with the later. For it seems his time wrestling with the beast earlier seem to somehow awaken a piece of him....a distant buried memory or something else only time will tell.

For as he reach out with the force faint voice seem come into play. Which althought its words seem so indesernable to hi that he couldn't quite make out what was said. Other than a strange feeling come over him as from deep within. Somehow past everthin he'd know thus far part of his heritage buried deep within his genetic came into play. Thought somehat unpredicatble it no less made itself manfest in somewhat strange way. As from the distance piece fragment of bone and cartilage from the discarded beast deamed ususable cause it be discarded. Began shudder and move.....draw close it slightly fused and partly mend. For if nothing else thought he'd not know it at that time....he was by blood one the few living decendants of a race all but fogotten. Lost to time before the order came to be...and it was then that a flash of memory came to him In such a way that it left him open and unprepared for it that his concentration briefly broke.

As all he could feel was cold damp darkness.....and the fear....a strong dark dread....of loss as it were that of an enveloping darkness closing in. That he had to stop dead in his tracs...then there was nohing...as thouht return to the present. Leavig him there standing alone gaze frozen ahead as his arm fell slump to his side.

The jeid master was there watching and observing what they would be able to do. The padawan seemed distracted for a moment but he wasn't reading his mind and blind so seeing a look on his face wouldn't really be helpful. All he could o is sit there watching it with the force when he got finished up. Prepared to go and see things while he was walking towards the mess area of the ship. The others were still working on many of the other things, handling the creatures before she turned over with a few of the things. THey were handling the creatures and the bodies as he felt the ship moving with more of his attention when he motioned for Ronin to join him. "Very good now come and relax you have worked hard."

[member="Syn"]

It had if anything took him a moment to sort reacquaint himself back some semblance of normalcy. Which his gaze then turn back towards Master Syn. Unsure if his action were at best satisfactory or was he going be told off a second time. Of which much his relief and in a way good fortune that it seem. His action had been well taken a tad bit better by him this time around. As instead of a scolding, he hears him speak.

"Very good, now come and relax you have worked hard."

Which he then seem with slightly innocent demeanor no less seem oblivious of his earlier action. Ronin then followed thru and came forward by his side.

'Thank you, Master...."

Was all he could mutter as the two then head off seem towards the mess hall. To rest and hopefully maybe get a chance grab some grub. As if anything else their earlier lesson had made him feel somewhat hungry.

Leading the way through the ship the jedi master was prepared and seeing some of the others, nothing had really changed for him aside from maybe just maybe seeing some people he didn't really know in the order. Not surprisingly though when some of them brought him other stuff. A new standard within the ships themselves was the converters that had been made by sasor and with that came the tech division who made evertyhing for the jedi to improve what they could do with very little. Why lug around complicated equipment when you could have a small glove with it instead or need to get a master healer when you could pull out a healing crystal that made even novices for a short time be able to save people on par with a master. He was getting some things from them to lighten the loadnow that they had made an ultra lightweight synth mesh that functioned stronger then beskar.

It was then while seem he'd been left be on his own for a bit while Master Syn seemingly attended to other matter. That he'd then wander off explore the place till he'd eventually found a nice quiet spot off to the side. Where finding some scrap metal part and what he assumed to be on the beast leg bone or what, not Ronin distracted himself. Using the metal to clean and shape the bone clean before with few initial tries carved some odd symbols on it. Most of which were images he'd remember from his sleep....images that he could not comprehend but couldn't quite forget.

[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

He was looking at everythign there that he had to work with now. The others were working on things and leaving him alone to his own devices as the ship was leaving the planet. There was some problems that would need to be addressed where they were going and why not. He put the thing in so that well he and a padawan could easily handle it while he stood there. They were setting course for the Cron Drift and where they were searching for one of the smaller stations that Seimei could find and preserve for itself. Allowing them to recover a jedi artifact and vault if all went well enough or hopefully well they would likely have to fight off some of the sith or whatever was there but h was never one to turn down a challenge while getting changed with the Fell Star around his neck.

It was then that once the carving was done that he began working the edge part into a fine point. Using the metal at hand and a bit of knowledge learned in the company of the one. Who at best was sorely missed by him as such came this seem passing endeavor of weapon shaped by his own hand to pass the time.

As the two set off to where? Parts unknown to him for now it seems. But at the time h figured keeping his mind and hands busy was seemed the way to go....as it seems he was yet embarking on a path. He'd hope would one set things and himself on the right path.
