Welcome to Gaia! ::

He came in on a transport ship and unloaded with all the usual passengers... not caring much for the usual hubub of city life he checked his location on a miniature map then headed towards the renowned temple.
He arrived several hours later a bit tired but still determined. He entered the academy and started asking around how to join.

He continued to walk around as the occasional person pointed one way or another but easily became lost. Occassionally he would pass by a room or opening where several students where talking or training but he didn't bother as they were intently engaged in there happenings at the moment.... still.... he would ask the most random of people one of two questions.... where to join and wheres the bathroom. surprised

"I agree Makashi and Soresu are very powerful and elegant styles, I wish you well in your endeavour to master them. I do agree though mastering several combat styles is extremely hard but it has been done before."

Diamond's mind began to focus on his own training and how he had been trained in Shien form of lightsaber combat. He could always remember practicing in the Temple using his vibroblade and how he had always aimed to master this style when he was lucky enough to earn a training saber at least.

These thoughts soon passed and he returned to the boxes.

As he stared at the boxes he was unsure if he was powerful enough to attempt to try and lift more than 4 boxes at once but he was going to try at least. This was maybe arrogant and cocky of him to try but he knew he had to try it at least once to see if he could do it.

Diamond, as he always did, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, almost if he was releasing all his built up tensions into the air around him. As he began his attempt he kept repeating the Jedi Code to himself in almost an attempt to give him focus...

There is no emotion; there is peace.
There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no passion; there is serenity.
There is no chaos; there is harmony.
There is no death; there is the Force.

Now he was ready to show that he was capable of taking Master Swex's next exercises.

Diamond, reaching out with the Force, began to lift the boxes into the air...at first he lifted the first three boxes with ease like he had done before and added a fourth to his attempt. He knew he could lift more and dove deeper into the Force and found the strength to lift another two boxes into mid-air. Although lifting the boxes was easy maneuering them was not going to be as easy.

He began to move the first four boxes with ease and gentile movements and then added the fifth box to this, at this point he was finding it difficult to maintain this course but he reached down and concentrated even more when he felt he could not do it.

The sixth box was finally added after several minutes of Diamond using the Force to manipulate the other boxes. This sixth box was far from easy to control while stil maintaining the other boxes in mid air. But he soon learned how to control them all at the same time and to show this was not a fluke he held the boxes in mid-air for several more minutes before seeting them down in their original positions.

Although he had found this task difficult he found it quite pleasing and informative. He realised that as long as he stayed connected with, as Master Swex's refered to it as, the Force Pool then he tap its power and make himself stronger as when he needed to.

Diamond stood up and walked over to Master Swex and smiled.

"What will you have me do now Master?"

Looking up to his new Master, Aezon nodded and began to wander around the Jedi Temple. He looked around the halls once more before his training began. He looked in all of the rooms and training areas where he found his two Jedi brothers with another apprentice training under Master Swex.

Aezon entered the Gallery of Jedi and Sith where he, Glacian, and Diamond had first met and examined each portrait. He paused in the center of the Gallery and faced many of the Famous Jedi and Sith portraits. He knelt on his knees and whispered.

"My Masters, I thank you for all that you have done for me. I have finally met the Master that will guide me through the ways of the Jedi. I have sensed that I will do well training under Master Peren. I thank you once more, and wish me luck on my training." Aezon arose from his current area and exited the Gallery.

Aezon continued his tour around the Jedi temple as he re-entered each room, and met many other Jedi Padawan and Initiates. His time was to come very soon.

He decided to end his tour and return to his Master and continue his training. He took a shortcut through the training arena where many Students began to train with their training sabers. Aezon finally arrived in the room which awaited him.

Nodding at Master Peren, Aezon bowed and softly spoke. "Master I have returned. I will gladly continue my training. I thank you again for accepting me as your Apprentice, and I will be the greatest Jedi you will ever train."

Aezon got off his knees and sat beside a training box. The box was quite small, and yet quite large. He shut his eyes and began to concentrate his mind onto nothing eles besides the box. He felt a quick surge of energy through his body and form an invisable barrier of the Force around him.

He focused his energy on the box as it slowly began to levitate. Aezon's concentration was so great that the box not only levitated, but the Force around him pushed the box back slightly. As the Force grew stronger in Aezon the box levitated and grew farther from him.

Aezon gently brought the box back down to the ground as he slowly relaxed and examine what he had done and was very pleased. The box had nearly exited half of the training room he trained in. Aezon knew he could do better to concentrate, relax, and control the Force, so he would continue the process, until he was satisfied

As Kari took the hilt of the training saber she took a number of steps back. She activated the saber and a blue beam came quickly out of the hilt. Master Swex had been right there was no wieght to the blade, Kari would often look to make she it was still on. Kari then began to make some simple swings with the saber to get a feel for it, but having to wieght to the blade made it harder then she had thought it would be.

She swung the saber up and down, side to side getting a feel for it. Kari then did something stupid and attempted to spin the blade, however in doing the she nicked part of her hand with the blade.

Ouch! Kari said as she got shocked from it hitting her.

Ok, No more stupid moves Kari thought to herself.

After a minute or so of swinging the saber some more and stabbing into the air. Then she remembered what Master Swex told her about what she learned from before. Trying to concentrate and move the saber she found to be alot harder then moving the boxes had been.

As she would swing for some reason the swngs seemed slightly more gracefull then they where before. And she was happy she didn't hit herself this time around.

After a moment or two more she felt she should try combat, that maybe it would help her increase her concentration wile useing the saber. She turned to Diamond to see if he was ready to try some combat as well.

I see they're trying saber combat already.......lucky

Zeth watched as Kari demonstrated her moves with A training lightsaber, and how she shocked her self by trying A spin. Zeth remembered when he was given his training saber, but it was destroyed in A training accident and he forgot the feel of A lightsaber. All he could do was look at his incomplete one and remembered he still had his Vibro Sword in his belt. He just sat there and watched Swex trained his padawns, bits of jealousy came into Zeth's emotions.

Dammit....

It was time to concentrate his skills a bit farther, so Aezon stretched out his arm before him and aimed at the four boxes. He concentrated on making the four boxes levitate one at a time until all four boxes were airbourne. Aezon aimed at the first box and began to meditate and control the Force.

The first box began to slightly levitate just as before it slowly began to be deflected by the force energy he sustained around him. Aezon began to think about all of his skills and the only oppurtunity he had to practice with the force.

"Now, for the second box. This will be a challenge, but I must try and succeed. Master Peren did not choose me as his Padawan because he knew I would fail. He chose me over the others because I am gifted just as Glacian and Diamond. I am strong in the force."

Aezon concentrated on the third box as the second, began to levitate as his focus and energy grew greater within him. His mental energy told told him that it would be much easier to concentrate each hand to two boxes. Aezon took this as a sign from the Force and agreed with it. He focused on the second box and let it be controled with his first arm, then focused on both of them with his mind, relaxing his arm.

The third box began to slowly rumble as Aezons concentration grew greater. The box began to slowly wander around the air and slowly aligned with the other two boxes. The boxes were not concentrated on his hand but in his mind, proving that he was very strong in the force and willing to learn about it's secrets.

"Now, for the final and heaviest box. If I am able to levitate these four items, I will truly accept myself as a worthy apprentice to Master Peren. This is the final Force concentration test," he thought to himself.

Aezon slowly began to manipulate the forth box and begin to control it. The Force grew very strong within him, stronger than he had ever felt it before. This was the true sign that he was ready for his training. The metal box began to rise inch by inch until it had came to level with the other three boxes.

As Aezon's mind controled the four crate-like boxes, he felt the force take over and control the boxes as they began to rotate in a circular formation. The force within him grew so strong that he himself began to levitate and rotate in a circular manner. Aezon had completed his test.

The hardest part of this test was the end. He had to successfully lay the crates back into their normal possition without destroying them. The first box began to descend along with the second and third. They slowly landed on their respective areas safetly. The fourth box was the most difficult. It was no longer in Aezon's control but in its own control. Aezon had to retriev control as the box switly traveled across the room. He finally gained control on the box and began to gently place it in its area.

Aezon had completed his first training test. He lay down on the floor as he rejoiced over completing the test. "I have done it. My first test is now complete. Master Peren will be broud. But now I must rest, I am exhausted." he said to himself as he slowly fell asleep.

He had just entered tthe acadamy through the large doors and his breath was takin away from the amasing size of the acadamy. He thought he would never make it here. he always wanted to come here and train to be a jedi just like his father."This place is amazing!I wonder who my master will be."He walked father into the acdamy and looked around he barley osaw anyone. So he stood there waiting to be greeted.
