The Next Generation (Neezuela)

[Vaulkhar]

Vaulkhar once more stopped before him, studying the Jawa with his force sight. The Jawa was clearly tired. Not to the point of exhaustion, but his breathing seemed to be coming in ragged gasps and the smell of sweat began to fill the room. Just like the old days. He simply grinned once more and lowered himself into a meditative position. His knees were pressed towards the floor, hands upon his thighs. His breathing was short and sweet. The young man raised a hand and motioned for the Jawa to do the same.

"Enter into your own meditative position. We will surround ourselves in the force and begin a lesson on the basics of the force."

Neezuela deactivated his gold lightsaber, clipping it onto his belt next to his newly-useless training saber. He followed suit by bending his knees and letting his body descend to the floor, with the knees pressed against the floor, and hands on his thighs. He closed his eyes and began to let the force flow through him, taking deep breaths as he sensed the many life forces in the academy around himself.

"The force is everything, my young acolyte. Many within the Sith see the force as merely a tool for power. And while they are not necessarily wrong, you will achieve greater success with the understanding of the force."

Vaulkhar pauses and takes a deep breath, beginning to pull the force around the both of them. It merely passes about them, similar to that of a soft breeze or a gently nudge. It held no true power in reality, it was just meant to aid in the aesthetic of the lesson.

"When you utilize the power of the force, you are doing so in one or two ways." He opens his eyes smiles softly. "There is the way of the light side, as it is called. The force is utilized through control, tranquility, and serenity. Then there is the way of the dark side. It is through emotion that one draws power. The Sith are users of the dark side. It has been that way for thousands of years. Though I do not personally believe in hate and anger empowering myself, you may do as you see fit. Just realize that I will be teaching you my personal beliefs, along with my skill."

Neezuela contiued to sit in his meditative position, taking deep breaths still and feeling the breeze of the Force flowing through him and his master, He listened as [member="Vaulkhar"] told him how he was going to teach the Jawa about the force, then he suddenly had a question burrowed into his brain "Wouldn't it be wiser to learn what both sides of the Force offer instead of just one-siding it?" Neezuela asked in his native language, looking questioningly at his master.

 

[Vaulkhar]

"It would indeed be wiser, yes."

Vaulkhar was most certainly glad his apprentice saw the foolishness in focusing on one side without at least understanding the other. But in this day and age for the Empire of the One Sith, such interests tend not to end well. Or at least that's what he had assumed after hearing quite a bit of screaming from young acolytes and knights alike while his father tortured them within his palace. Not a good thing. Not at all.

"Though it is wise, it is foolish within the One Sith. If we were to say, travel to a distant planet within the Outer Rim, or further for all I know, I could tutor you in more than just the dark side and Sith tactics. But that is another day, further down the line. For now we'll simply worry about the basics and getting your advanced lightsaber training going when you're ready."

Taking yet another deep breath, Vaulkhar reopened his eyes and continued with a question.

"What is your understanding of the force, apprentice?"

Neezuela listened to what his master said, he probably could not be taught about the Light side of the Force within the One Sith's influence due to the fact that they were Dark siders, shunting out the light was their specialty. He then heard him ask the Jawa a question, which he took a month moment to think about.

"The Force is what gives a Sith his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together" He said in his native language.
