The droid looked up from his workbench, where he was just putting the finishing touches on a few components. "Oh! Done already? Well, come here, have a look." He laid down the parts he had been working on and a formidable assortment of metal and technology lay before Vyntyr.
The girl warily eyed the components. "So... How does it all work?"
The droid would have smiled again. "I thought you'd never ask." He was excited. It was not every padawan whose first lightsaber featured a double emitter. Or something so rare as an unstable crystal. He began to point to the pieces.
Master Laro closed the book and frowned, frustrated. Confused. She did not know which way to proceed, and she would do as she always had when she was lost. She replaced the book and left the restricted area of the library, putting out a message calling for a meeting of the council at the earliest possible time. She would ask their wisdom on this painful decision.

Master Huyang pointed to each piece in turn. "This is the focusing lens, made of a beam gem. Beam gems are used in optical computing and make excellent focusing lenses, much more precise than glass. These pieces will form the hilt of your lightsaber, and will contain all the other pieces. These little screws and pins are here to hold everything together. This power pack will feed power into the emitter matrix, which is right here, which will hold both of your crystals and focus the light produced into them, and then through the focusing lens which will curve the light inward, giving your blade its point. It will look something like this, once you've gotten it all together."
Master Laro stood in the center of the Council Chamber, requesting the advice and direction of those wiser than she. It was not a short session. They met for some time, discussing the possibilities and the ramifications of what Master Laro was considering, and the source of her experiment's design.

Vyntyr nodded. Okay. I think I see it, but how am I supposed to put this together? I can't even see where some of these pins go, and it's not put together yet. Once those pieces start going into place, it's going to be impossible to reach them..."
Master Huyang nodded softly "And that's the reason I cannot build a true lightsaber. A lightsaber is connected to its wielder by the Force, and it is also by the Force constructed. You must assemble it yourself using your own telekinetic abilities, and the Force as your guide. You will ascend these steps, and at the top you will find the Forge; an ancient artifact that has aided in the construction of lightsabers for millennia. And when you descend, you will show me your new lightsaber."
The Council spoke for hours, not so much debating as pondering. They didn't know if they would rely on His teachings, but he had been a very powerful Jedi before he had fallen. He had written this book before his Fall, when he was still a member of the Jedi Council...

Vyntyr nodded and gathered the supplies. "Thank you, Master Huyang. I guess it's time to use what you've taught me."
"You'll do well, child. Just remember to come show it to me when you're done. I'm excited to see it."
Vyntyr smiled. "Yes, Master." She proceeded up the stairs to the Forge, a large machine with an altar-like workbench for her parts to rest on. The girl knelt down before the shrine and closed her eyes, flexing her mind's muscles as she reached her Force out to probe and take the measure of the pieces in the basin.
Finally, the Council came to a decision. Master Laro frowned. She felt that while it was not the easiest decision, it was the only one that they were left with. With everything she had learned, this was the only way.

Though she knew not for how long she had been there, Vyntyr felt the Force guiding every motion, and she suddenly felt all the pieces begin to fall into place. The emitter matrix fit the battery housing, and then everything just went from there. Finally, she reached for the next piece, and nothing was there. Confused, she opened her eyes, frowning, but immediately opened them wide as she stared at the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen in her life. It was a marvelous lightsaber hilt, and Vyntyr almost cried as she reached out for it and it descended into her hand, where it fit like a glove. Like she had always been meant to hold it. She was scared. But she summoned up all that was left of herself and flipped the ignition switch. A familiar yet wholly alien sound met her ears as a beam of pure, green energy burst from the hilt, wavering and crackling like a flame. She started laughing and moved the blade side to side, feeling its weight. It was perfect.
She was down the stairs before she knew what had happened, and held out the completed lightsaber to Master Huyang.
The droid took the hilt from the girl and examined it carefully. He opened the crystal chamber and looked carefully at the inner workings. "Yes. Splendid! You've done it! May I?"
Vyntyr nodded and giggled.
Master Huyang ignited the blade and watched as the blade exploded into life. "Marvelous! What a simply marvelous lightsaber! Ana, Dul, come and see the blade that our young padawan Vyntyr has forged!"
Vyntyr blushed as the two knights from outside came in to examine and admire her lightsaber. They, like Vyntyr, had been put off somewhat by the blade's appearance, but upon handling the saber admired its balance and the surety of its movement. They congratulated Vyntyr on her outstanding performance, and returned her lightsaber to her, thanking her for the opportunity to see such a rare blade in person. Vyntyr was grinning ear to ear and didn't stop even after Master Huyang had sent her home, with still enough time to make it to the academy before dark.
The girl buzzed on the entrance to Master Laro's office and bounced, biting her lip as she waited impatiently. The door had barely opened before Vyntyr was inside the room, holding the hilt out to Master Laro. "Master! Look! We did it!"
Master Laro was happy that her headdress covered her eyes, as she could feel the haggard lines carved into her face by a worrisome and troubling quandary. But her lips formed a smile. "Congratulations! Well, don't just hold it there, let me see it! Let me see this one-of-a-kind blade!"

Vyntyr giggled and flipped the ignition switch, the blade roaring to life before their eyes.
Master Laro's smile grew larger. "Absolutely magnificent, Vyntyr! That is one of the most beautiful blades I have ever seen. You should be very proud to have made it."
Vyntyr smiled but then grew serious. "Master, I got caught up in the excitement before... I did not properly thank you for everything you've done for me. Especially for trusting me with your lightsaber crystal... I understand now what that means to you, and I swear I will do my best to do everything I can to earn that honor."
Master Laro could have cried. "The only thing you have to do for me right now, Vyntyr, is celebrate what is the achievement of your lifetime. You have done it. You are finally a true Jedi. You have come so far, and I am more proud of you than I can say. You have no further assignment today. You may rest, and tomorrow as well. I have some council business that I must attend to, and I will be unable to have you accompany me for it."
Vyntyr smiled again. "Yes, Master. Thank you. I will see you here the day after tomorrow."
"Actually, if you wouldn't mind, meet me at the Council Chamber. It will be easier to meet there."
The girl nodded "Yes, Master." Vyntyr was given leave to go, and she went immediately to her room to examine every inch of her new lightsaber.

Vyntyr waited for a response.
"Vyntyr, my young padawan, we would like for you to do us a favor. We want you to meditate for us. We would like you to channel your energy to heal yourself in the way that you've learned how. We need to see something. That's all we need from you, is just a demonstration of your ability."
Vyntyr furrowed her brow, but acquiesced. "Yes, Master."
The girl remained standing, and laced her fingers together, closing her eyes and imagining herself filling with light. She felt the light pushing from within, flowing out and radiating through her skin. There was a quiet murmuring through the chamber
"Very good. Now, one more favor. We'd like you to step outside of your body for a moment, if you can. Don't stop healing, but just turn around and look at yourself.
