Unknown tales from an unknown life (Open - In need of a Master)

[Vexander Graves]

The young padawan listened to each word his Master said, perhaps that is how the Jedi fueled their increased skills... that definetely had to be it... and if that was the case, then he needed to learn that with the best of his abilities.

Nodding at his instructor. He proceeded to work on his breathing technique and began to work on using the Force into his senses. The first time, he didn't managed to do it... in fact, he was still trying to allow the Force to flow through his body with the breathing... the second time, he tried to feel at least the inmediate surroundings where he was... he managed to feel a strong presence in the Force just next to him... he managed to feel his own Master.

Vexander smiled briefly at the feeling, mostly because it was something completely new next to the feel of the Force flowing though his body. If he could master this he would be a step closer to his main goal.

Inhaling and exhaling one more time, allow the man to gather more of the Force around him, within him and then to his senses... slowly he increased his perception... but he felt how his own eyes deceived him... was altering his perception of the Force, maybe because he relied on them to much as a sniper... but they were now being a distraction. For that reason, the young man closed his eyes and worked only with what he coulse sense.

Eventually, within a couple of minutes... he could feel the soft touch of the Force around him... he could sense every living creature... including small organism, his own presence, his Master's presence... he could hear clearly everything... he could feel it through his skin like small receptions of energy... The feeling was invigorating and warm.

The joy he felt in his chest was building up each time he managed to take one step closer to opening himself to the Force in extraordinary ways... it was quite good to feel and to witness. Slowly, he began to expand his perception by listening and feeling the hallways of the Temple all the way to the next room... he could sense another pair of persons there... one with a stronger presence than the other. Master and student... just like the two of us... thought Vex while he proceeded even further... he sensed the Jedi in the dueling chambers practicing their moves... their breathing and, in some cases; even their emotions...

It took him a few minutes... but in the end, his perception allowed him to feel everything around him... he could sense the connection that each Jedi and each living creature had with the Force... how everything was one and at the same time divided. He managed to use the Force to analyse his surroundings.

Once again, Vex opened his eyes and looked at his Master "I... I can feel each one of them... I can even feel their thoughts and their mood... their abilities and the presence they have in the Force..." he stopped for a moment and whispered mostly to himself "...amazing..."

Syn gave a nod of his head, it real was like watching a child... Well it was like he was taught minus the lightning at least. In truth he was surprised the boy was doing so well and not with a breathe he spoke. "Good now keep your senses on them for a moment longer and then bring them inward to just this room. The force can do many things but expanding your senses will lessen them at times. Keeping your focus on the room you'll be able to pick up more and flexing it to different people can let you learn intent, learn purpose or mood. Practice for a bit more and then relax and focus. Try to do it faster and faster."

 

[Vexander Graves]

Once again, the young man remained silent, still, with just a small nod, he followed his Master's instructions. The Force was becoming some quite familiar for him, he slowly began to adapt himself to focusing in various things and then narrowing his senses to just the room, where the two of them were practically alone.

The practice actually took him quite some time. Nevertheless, eventually he was able to change the focus in a heartbeat; almost instantly just like moving a hand or a finger... still, he needed to train further and to gain greater control of the Force in order to concentrate his attention to different things and to isolate those things that the Force brought him that were actually important... in the end, what he sensed was just like raw data that he had to work hard in order to filter properly.

Realizing that he had achieved a level of control of the Force that he has never seen before, the young man smiled at his Master "It is not something that I am actually used to... but I think that I got it sir." said the padawan in a militaristic kind of voice. Still, the young man didn't say anything else waiting for the next lesson that he knew his Master would give him, afterall, he was the one that would know what was the next step.

"Good, now that you can do that the hard stuff can begin." The jedi master breathed deeply letting his hands touch some of the equipment while he worked to get stuff out. One thing was a feather and he spoke. "Initiates and children play a game to learn how to flex their abilities, given your just learning we will have to start with the basics of push and pull. You can sense the world not it is time to alter it to push the force outward and pull it ot you." He turned around and held the feather from a fair large creature but it served a surprise before he threw it up and pushed it. "Now focus the force and push it outward from your palm to keep the feather in the air."

 

[Vexander Graves]

The padawan nodded at his Master and then focused in the feather flying at him... At first, the thought that using the Force in such way would be just like increasing his senses and allowing the Force to perceive his surroundings... however, it was extremely different, at least for him.

Extending the Force and redirecting it to a specific object didn't just required him to focus his senses at the feather, but it also had to include a certain level of mind control to use the Force like if it was part of his hand... and extension...

The young man extended his right hand with one of the feathers in his palm and tried to project the Force... his inexperience at first time caused him to release a small burst of the Force that barely made the feather move... it was actually vibrating more than anything.

"This is actually kind of different from what we tried before... still... it feels similar..." the feeling was hard to explain at the moment, perhaps it was just the fact that in the end, he was using the Force... but in a different way.

Realizing that he as being too subtle, he increased the amount of Force power directed at the feather slowly, regulating the flow like when someone playing an armonica to give different notes... in this case, to give different heights.

Slowly, the feather began to levitate away from his hand and to be suspended in his palm. To see something like that was exciting and invigorating for Vex. "Haha!" said with a slight tone of accomplishment "Got it!"
