Third Times The Charm

[Jsc]

The image in her mind began to change. For as [member="Cloudburner"] believed, so did the Force, and the illusion was made real. Then just as quickly Karen removed her fingers from beside her temple. The thought bubble collapsed and the image faded.

"Very good. You appear to have the talent for both telekinesis and mentalism. I suspect that is because you will become a great Jedi one day. Very good indeed."

She leaned back in her chair and nodded. That was enough prodding for one day. Time to see if he could stretch.

"All right Apprentice. Time to show me that you know how to handle yourself."

Karen waved her arm around the yard. Making note of broken wood, several stones, bricks, and even an old pair of cowboy boots.

"Trying using your new mental prowess to throw some of these objects around the yard. I'll let you pick what. ...Go ahead. Stretch out your new powers. Try throwing some stuff around. Hehe."

 

[Cloudburner]

Cloudburner smiled. This would be fun. He closed his eyes, held a side smile and raised his hand up. The bricks were the first object he picked up, as he proceeded to make a small wall with them.

Then he picked up the cowboy boots and put them on top of the small wall.

The stones were easier than the last two, and could be easily thrown around and manipulated by the Force.

The most challenging object was the wood, as it was the heaviest, he struggled with this, but managed to knock over the brick wall and topple the boots with the wood.

Karen clapped her hands with a smile. [member="Cloudburner"] appeared to have this down pat.

"Excellent excellent. You seem to be enjoying your new gifts. Good. Now, it will take time and practice but eventually you will be able to use these abilities as if they were your own arm. And they will get stronger too. You simply need to remember to take time to practice them often. Because like a muscle? They will grow with you until they reach their full mature strength."

Karen stood up and reached out her hand to one of the buildings.

"I've spent nearly twenty years working on this one myself..."

She pushed at the air with her fingers. Instantly, half of the building exploded. Kaboom! A crashing tidal wave of bricks, mortar, and smashed wooden scraps flew into the air. As if a giant had come along and punched half of the building into oblivion. A swirling mass of littering destruction followed the crash. A dinner table went sailing and a bed frame came crashing down. The sound was tremendous and the ground shook wildly as the debris fell. Karen had just used the Force to smash a whole building in two. Whoa.

"See. Give it a few decades and you'll be strong as a tart when you turn 40. Hehe."

She smiled as the dust began to settle behind them. That was some hologram. Woo.

"Alright. Enough for one week. You need time to practice your new skills. Levitation, Push, Pull, and Mind Trick. I expect it will take you a lifetime to master them. However, it never hurts to practice everyday. That is how we get better. Just like strength training. Think of your powers as a muscle. You need to work out to build them. Slowly and steadily, they'll get stronger. Okay."

Karen dusted off her hands and looked around. Not bad for one day.

"Any questions before I leave you? Now is the time. Otherwise, until next week then."

 

[Cloudburner]

He felt this was the perfect time to pull off a mind trick or two.

"The building is in perfect shape. It is black, with 3 doors and a window."

Karen smirked.

"These are not the droids you are looking for."

*wink*

"See you next week [member="Cloudburner"] . And good luck in your adventures. The Force will be with you. Always."
