Tysyacha Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 Yery nodded, having risen quickly out of bed to follow Kyle and Master Kelso. The past night had not been eventful, silence giving her peace instead of restless anxiety. She wondered what this mysterious secret was that she and Jana were in urgent need of knowing. What could it be? Exile. A soft voice, a command. Do you hear me, Yery? Yery stopped dead cold. She thought that the voice she had heard before could only be heard in her dreams, but apparently not. This presence wanted to speak to her, even in the waking hours, though it risked Yery spilling its secrets. Who was this soft-spoken phantom? My name is Kreia, the voice replied. I am a Jedi Master, though I have long since ceased taking Padawans. That is, until you were so suddenly inducted into our hallowed Order. Tell me, was it Master Vrook that sent you on this suicide mission, child? "Must...keep...walking," whispered Yery as quietly as she could. "Paying attention." To the voice, however, she responded, Yes, it was. He banished all of us. Not knowing who your enemies are, reproached Kreia, has cost you dearly. Better is a rebuke from a friend than a kiss from one who would betray you. You trusted Vrook with your life, child, and now look what he's done to you! Jana has fallen unawares into his trap, like a gullible gizka. As for Kyle and Master Kelso, they are threats to him, yet they do not know Lamar Vrook's true nature. What is it? Yery asked the voice, now known as Kreia, another Master. Vrook's nature, I mean? Is it of the Dark Side? I've always suspected... Not now, warned Kreia, but you shall learn it in due time. For now, however, I want you to concentrate on the bond that you and this Jana share... Bond? thought Yery, rather alarmed. What bond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 They had arrived at the cargo hold. Kelso turned around and adressed the two apprentices. "We've sensed a bond between you. Something rare for two persons who aren't blood-related and have known each other for such a short time, and we've decided that it's important for you to learn how to use this to your advantage." He paused to let Kyle explain what they would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir-Vlada Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 "Thank you, Master." aid Kyle and he stepped forward and began: "As you may already know, bonds are formed between Masters and Padawans, and it takes quite sometimes to do it... But you two are not only Padawans, but you also developed the bond faster before you could say 'Ardroxian Flu'." "Bonds are mostly things that could help you sense each other and maybe see what the other person sees. But in your case, you two can even sense each other thoughts. This can be either a gift... Or a curse. In our case we wish that it becomes a gift. So let's begin with..." Kyle suddenly stopped. He heard someone else in Yery's thoughts The Voice Kyle thought. He then asked, clearing his throat: "So... Shall we begin?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 ((Posted at the same time...)) As Kyle explained, Kelso secretely communicated with him. Heard it too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir-Vlada Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Yes I heard it... It's here... It is calling... Kyle replied secretly. "To improve the bond, you will first have learn to trust each other. That is the first and most important thing to do when developing a bond. I believe that there is no need to check if this isn't developed?" asked Kyle peculiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tysyacha Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 "You're right," said Yery, "and I do believe we need to check to see if we do indeed have a Force Bond. Jana, are you willing to let me use one of the few Force Powers that I know on you?" She raised an eyebrow. "As long as it's beneficial," said Jana with a wry smile, "then you sure may!" (Sorry for the character control here, Jana, but I wanted to do something rather interesting with this 'trust each other' exercise. Now we continue...) Yery thrust her arms into a Jedi pose as the Burst of Speed Force Power flowed through her. If she and Jana Drake did indeed have a Force Bond between them, and also if Yery did have the Dvukhsotniy ability, then Jana would not only start moving faster, she would be traveling at Master Speed, since Jana already knew the basic Burst of Speed Power. Yery's theory was correct! Jana moved throughout the vessel as a blur of color, whizzing ultra-fast as she tried to maneuver around obstacles. "Whoops!" Jana suddenly crashed into B3-D3, the startled protocol droid, and the resulting collision drew a long gash across the Padawan's arm. It was bleeding, and Yery immediately felt her stomach fall into her shoes. "I'm sorry, Jana!" Yery cried, rushing to help her comrade, who had fallen backward after stumbling into B3-D3. "Let me get you to the medbay." "Yery, it's okay," said Jana. "You don't need to do that. I--" But too late. If the Padawan had been on the surface of a gravitational planet with hospitals instead of aboard the Krasnaya, she would have had to receive stitches for the gash she'd acquired. Yery knew this already, and that was why she lay Jana down on the metallic cot inside the medbay. "I hope and pray that the Masters won't hear this." Jana's eyes grew wide. Yery continued, "I've sensed something--through the Force, faintly, barely a hint. You have some skills that I don't have, and they are Force Powers. Jana--let me feed you, please, and take back the vitality that the accident stole from you. I don't know much about life, or about the Force, being a lowly Padawan with weak skills at a lightsaber. However, I do know that I trust you, even though you might not trust me. Will you--this once?" Fearful and yet yearning to reach out to Yery, Jana stretched her hand forward and used a certain Force Power upon her. One that the Jedi would call evil, yet one that the Sith called their bread and butter. Drain Life. Yery smiled and hugged Jana once the deed was done. "If the donor of a draw, as I like to call it, is willing and wants to heal its recipient, can that be of the Dark Side if the donor doesn't know the Cure power?"

Writer Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 "I hope not," Jana answered quietly. She glanced around. "You must tell noone of this... exchange. And now that you have given me through my taking what was not mine to take, have a little added energy, yourself." Jana stretched out her right hand, waving it vaguely in Yery's direction. As she did so, she murmured a few words in a strange language. Soon, Yery felt more strength return to her than had been taken. And Jana seemed no different. "Vrook says I learn too quickly," she whispered. The thought seemed to amuse her and she gestured for Yery to follow her back to where the Masters were waiting.

Vladimir-Vlada Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hmmm...The voice is gone, and there was only one this time. We'll see if it comes back. thought and communicated Kyle with Master Kelso. Suddenly Yery entered, Kyle relieved began: "Oh, there you are. I was a bit worried tha..." Kyle jumped in surprise when he saw Jana bleeding "What the hell happened to you?!" asked Kyle surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Kelso's reaction was contained, but his eyes betrayed his shock. He did, however notice one thing Kyle did not. The wound seemed to have healed partially, but there were no marks of bacta or stitches. He decided not to tell Kyle yet. He'd ask Jana about it first, before raising Kyle's suspicions even higher.

Tysyacha Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Yery desperately wanted to change the subject. She hated concealing information from the Jedi Masters, and especially lying in order to further that concealment. However, if Master Kelso and Kyle knew about Jana's secret, they would surely chastise her for using Drain Life upon Yery. Even though Jana only did so at Yery's insistence, Dark Powers were forbidden to all Jedi. Perhaps exile was now a fitting punishment for them both...
