Draconis Nevyn — Roleplayer Guild

Adado stood tall, analysing the engine of the ship, the Ebon Hawk. It was more efficient than anything he had ever flown so far, indeed it was an impressive set-up. He had spent most of the journey contemplating what it would be like to learn the ways of the force and what he would do now that he wouldn't be teaching Lelila, looking after her by himself. She would have others to talk to, a place to finally stay and be safe. Well he hoped it would be safe, he would look after her though, succeed at every test and learn everything possible so he could watch out for Lelila as he had done for her since his old mentor had killed her parents.

As he left the engine room he heard the intercom "We've now landed on Dantooine. Please gather your things and head to the docking ramp." he heard Atton say. It brought back his memories of when he had first met the man. Finally he had an explanation to why he sometimes saw things that were happening or going to happen in his dreams, he was force sensitive. After a while, with Atton's help he had managed to learn how to hone his abilities, to repel things from himself. After a few moments he walked into the cargo bay, where he saw his ward, Lelila. She was standing next to their luggage, it wasn't much but it was everything they owned including a couple of weapons he had managed to stash away.

Lelila had spent the most of the trip by herself, reading, though she had spent a couple of hours practising her Echani. She was rusty but it kept her in shape both in body and mind. To accompany the art, she incorporated her only force power into it, pushing gently on her luggage as she moved. While it was easy to fling it into the hull, it was not her intention to do so.

After a short while of this, she stopped, and wiped her brow with a cloth before hearing the intercom crackle and a voice she knew fairly well said: "We've now landed on Dantooine. Please gather your things and head to the docking ramp." With this, she got excited, she was going to be a jedi, and Adado was going to be with her too, it was perfect. Almost too perfect, nagged the voice at the back of her mind, but she ignored it as she was obviously here, it was a long trip to play a prank like this on her. Lelila smiled as she saw Adado and a few others enter the cargo bay to collect their belongings and leave again, heading as Atton had instructed. Lelila grabbed Adado's and her own things and walked up to him, her smile growing larger by the second.

"Don't get cocky now, Leli, this is real and dangerous. Keep a level head and be careful." Warned her mentor, and she hesitated as he took his belingings and left for the docking bay. It was harsh but she knew he was probably right, she shouldn't get too excited about it. She remembered hearing about the jedi having to put emotion aside. Was she too emotional for the Jedi? Only one way to find out, she eventually decided and left to join Adado in the docking bay with the others.

Upon leaving the ship, Atton said "Well, here we are. If everyone will come with me. Find yourself a room, girls to the left, boys to the right." Adado nodded to his ward and motioned for her to go as indicated, as she looked unsure, possibly as they had never spent a night separately before, always having watched one and another's backs no matter what. But these were new times, and they both had a lot to learn and get used to. Walking in to his room, he immediately left his suitcase on his bed, to be sorted later and moved on to the council chambers, where he grabbed a seat and waited for the others to turn up.

Lelila, on the other hand, had a harder time, as she was stuck trying to decide which room felt right, which gave the best cover from break-ins. It took her a while to calm her mind completely and remember that this was unlikely to happen and Adado had probably had no trouble finding a room. She eventually settled on one and left her suitcase under the bed before leaving to head to the council chambers. As she entered, most of the others were already there and she sheepishly grabbed a seat.

Atton Rand, the man who had found them, addressed all of the pupils, and indicated the other two jedi in the room as he said: "This is Knight Briana, in charge or the temple and your saber training, and this is Padawan Mikal, in charge of your force training, as well as lore." he said, pointing to each one in turn. Then, Mikal stepped forward, "I hate to bother you, as you've just arrived, but I need to give you these." He handed each student a Datapad, which Lelila and Adado studied intensely, scanning the information briefly before listening to him explain further, "These contain the Jedi code, as well as basic meditation instructions. I'll give you until tomorrow morning to get used to this new world, but I want to see all of you in this room tomorrow at sunrise to begin your training. If you'll familiarise yourself with the data on the pad, things will be easier tomorrow morning." Adado hoped so, it wasn't his first sunrise start, but he knew Lelila wasn't good in early mornings, but he again listened intently as Briana motioned to him and he stepped back.

"Tomorrow afternoon I'll be testing your skills with a weapon," she said, causing Lelila to stir, this was something she had been looking forward to, not as much as Adado but it was a very interesting subject, along with the force itself, which didn't interest her old mentor as much.

"After that I'll give you the rest of the day off to practice on your own. Don't worry, once you get the basic skills down we'll relax your routine a bit and let you study what you want at your own pace. We just want to get the important lessons finished soon. Are their any questions?" Adado and Lelila looked at one another and shared a grin, this was really happening. They were Jedi initiates. They continued smiling as they saw the Shistavanen, a species that (of the pair of them at least) only Adado was familiar with, raised his hand.
