Star Wars: A New Force

@Renny For the rock test, is that supposed to be testing how far one can lift a huge rock/boulder off of the ground using just the Force? Or something else? XD I wanted to have Odette demonstrate it for Ben so I was just wondering lol.

Time skipped XD Feel free to use Luke as we mentioned before, so he can do Ben's training and such.

Yesterday had been a long day for Odette. At first it had been a little...frustrating to say the least. To have someone picking at her and trying to get a rise out of her. But she believed it had ended on a good note. She had managed to talk to him a bit while on that way, not only making him feel a little better it seemed, but also telling him some things about the Force to get him started and ready for today's lesson he would have with Master Luke. She didn't know what kind of things Master Luke would be doing with him. From what Luke had told her, everyone's training was always different, changed to fit the person and what they needed to work on. She was curious to see just what the Master would have have the newest addition to their small Order do.

She was awake the next morning, bright and early, meditating once more to get ready for the day to come and once she had her few moments of peace, got up and made her way from her room to find Master Luke meditating as well. She had learned long ago that the silence and focus of doing so first thing in the morning helped get one to a fresh and good start for the day. She had started doing so after seeing Luke do this, and had found the benefits in doing so were great. It was habit for her now, though Luke often meditated for far longer than she always did. She knew her attention span and focus while meditating needed work, but it was something she was slowly working on.

As always, she waited silently there, until finally he seemed to finish and stood up, looking to her, "Good morning, Odette. I see you are ready for training. Is Ben up as well?"

Odette looked back down the hall, then over to her Master once more, "I'm not sure. If he is awake he hasn't come out of his room yet. Perhaps he is not used to being up so early? Should I go wake him, Master?"

Chuckling Luke nodded, "It would be best. He needs to get used to the schedule of being up on time for training."

With that, Luke was heading outside to get ready for the two padawans' training, while Odette walked over to Ben's room. She remembered her first time having to wake up so early for training. If he wasn't awake already and was really still sleeping, this surely was not going to get her on his good side. But it had to be done. And so, she knocked on the door, speaking to him, trying to not be too loud, nor too soft either, "Ben? Master Luke told me to wake you. Training will begin soon."

And there he went again with that attitude and that stern gaze as he spoke to her. Pushy? She wasn't pushy. She gave him some alone time, didn't she? She let out a heavy sigh as he walked around her, "No, I just thought you might want to get out of that stuffy room and get some fresh air. I don't need you to come anywhere with me. I am more than capable of taking care of myself." She clarified in a sort of matter-of-fact tone, hooking her saber to her side as she followed him out the door. This was going to be a very trying period if he continued to belittle her as he was doing. He would sure test her patience and tendencies to try to keep things positive that was for sure.

"Won't get us lost. I know this trail like the back of my hand, so as long as we stay on it we will be just fine. It loops all the way back around to our home so there is no issue there." She said as she continued down the trail in silence. This was the trail she herself always took to the more peaceful and scenic areas, which were perfect for her meditation. Or in her rare free times, good for a hike to clear the mind. They got to a river that cut through the trail and with much practice she began walking across a fallen tree as though it were a bridge, until she reached the other side.

Now, just up ahead next to the trail, was a small lake with grassy areas all around. Once they had reached there, she let out a soft sigh and sat in the grass, criss crossed once again, closing her eyes. The wind lightly blew over them and air was fresh here, allowing her a peaceful and calming place to meditate. Though after a moment of sitting there like that in silence and taking deep breaths, she opened her eyes and turned her head to look at him, "You're still angry. I can feel it. It's almost smothering. So much so that anyone near you that is tuned to the force can feel it and be swallowed by the emotions themselves, blocking out any good feelings."

She took another deep breath and looked out to the lake, "I understand though. It's not easy, being forced to stay in a place you know nothing about and train to be something that many people thought and still think, are just myths. It leaves you sad. Angry. Bitter. To tell you the truth, I wasn't much different for a while in my first little while of being here. There was even times, There were times, when I was a little younger, that I would try to run away into the forest, just to get away from all the training. But, after realizing how hard it was out on my own, I was always come back, expecting to be yelled at or reprehended. Yet, he never did. He was always so calm and very forgiving, talking to me and trying to understand rather than making me feel bad about myself. He always tells me that compassion is the heart of a Jedi and that he tries to model that in everything he does. He's very wise."

Looking back over at him once more, she shrugged, "I suppose, what I'm trying to say is, it's okay to feel that way sometimes, to feel sad and angry. It's what makes you human. But, don't let it rule your life and how you treat people." She made an attempt to give him another smile, "Besides, in my opinion, I'd much rather feel compassion and happiness than anger or sadness any day."

She looked back to the lake, though there was a slightly amused look on her face now, making a joke out of what he had called her earlier, "Okay, my lecture is done. Feel free to call me pushy again."

XD She's a bit stubborn lol, so I went with her bugging him again.

For a moment, she thought maybe her smiling at him and at least trying to be pleasant might have helped to get him out of this grouchy mood he seemed to be in. But, just as quickly as the surprised look had come onto his face, it fell, turning back into that indifferent expression he had been wearing since she had first been introduced to him. Why was he so angry with her? It wasn't like she had done anything wrong or anything to make him so. She frowned now at that expression. She sighed and was about to walk out of the room to just leave him be, when he spoke up suddenly and she turned back to him, listening to what he had to say.

Apparently it wasn't her that he was mad at as she had thought. He was mad about something else. And now that she thought about it, she could possibly guess just what that thing was that he was upset about. It was his first day here, and from the look he had on his face when he had arrived, he probably didn't want to be here in the first place. It clicked in her mind and she somewhat understood why he was so angry. He felt forced to be here and abandoned by whoever had sent him here, his parents she would assume.

At his apology, Odette nodded slightly, "I over-exaggerated. I shouldn't have gotten angry so quickly. I apologize as well." She watched him approach her and then, heard his decision on what he wanted to do. She took a step back as the door was shut and stood there a moment, as if she wanted knock back on the door and get him to open up so she could say something. But didn't know what. And so, after a moment she finally sighed and walked back next door to her own room, sitting with her legs criss crossed on the floor, her eyes closed and her breathing deep and steady as she tried to meditate.

But anger was thick in the air.

Anger and fear swarmed the house and it was hard to focus. Normally her times of meditation were peaceful and filled with pure feelings. But these feeling that surrounded everything at the moment were no where close to that. And it wasn't coming from her, meaning it was coming from Ben. She had been told he just wanted to be alone right now and she tried to respect that and tried to ignore it and let him go through his emotions on his own since he seemed to want to be alone at the moment. The feelings were hard to ignore and were suffocating, making her meditation time far from peaceful.

Finally, after what felt like a long time, Odette felt the presence of her Master enter their home again and she opened her eyes, making her way to where he was starting to prepare dinner. She approached him, opening her mouth to speak her worry, when he spoke first,

"I sense it too, young one."

Odette stopped in front of him and frowned, "Master, these feelings of anger and fear...even hate. They aren't good. If he continues to have those feelings something terrible could happen."

"Fear and hate, " Master Luke began with a nod, "Are not good at all. You are correct. Master Yoda himself once said that fear leads to anger, and anger leads to hate. And hate leads to suffering. And all of those things lead to the dark side." At the girl's wide eyes, he chuckled and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Relax, my young padawan. Ben is far from the Dark Side. Those feelings he has right now are merely effects of the sudden change. It will take time, but such feelings will pass." He went back to fixing the dinner, "For now, have you tried to go someplace quieter? Perhaps the trail? It would help to calm your nerves."

The trail was indeed peaceful and always filled her with serenity any time she went on it. It woudl do her some good if she took a walk up it. She nodded and gave a slight bow, "I will try that. Thank you, Master." With that, she was walking back to her room to grab her saber, and once she had, walked out, only to pause. Perhaps...she should invite Ben? If the trail, with its scenic route and fresh air, tended to help her with her own emotions, then surely it could help Ben at least a little bit? Perhaps. But the only way to find out was if she invited him and he accepted.

Walking up to his bedroom door she paused before knocking lightly, speaking up, "Um...Ben? I'm taking a walk. Up a trail. It's very nice and peaceful. If you would like you could come along?"

Did this...did this boy just try to take a jab at her? He was making fun of her. Right then and there Odette decided that she didn't like this boy. At all. How could someone as...arrogant as him be trained to become a Jedi? Jedi were about peace and calm, and there was nothing that said Jedi about this boy. Standing up straight now, the young girl looking back into this boy's eyes, defiance clear in them as she spoke back to him, "Quite a while with that attitude of yours. Even if you are strong with the Force as your uncle tells me, you clearly know nothing and have no talents in the Jedi way."

By now, Luke placed a hand on the their shoulders, giving them a small squeeze as a silent warning, "Enough you two. Being at arms when meeting one another will not do anyone any good." He looked to Ben, "We will start with training tomorrow young padawan. Today we will rest and allow you to get accustomed to your surroundings." He looked to Odette and nodded to her, "Lead him to our home. I will go fetch some things for dinner tonight."

"Yes Master." She said, giving a nod and then looked to Ben, nodding for him to follow her, walking back into the woods, hopping over the fallen trees and ducking under branches, just as she had done on the way to the clearing. The tension from the moment before was still in the there and she clearly wasn't happy. But, Master Luke was right. No reason to harbor bad feelings toward one another right after meeting. They were going to be spending quite a bit of time together and she would rather it not be them butting heads the entire time.

Soon they had come upon a clearing small than the one Ben's ship had landed in. In this clearing was a small hut of a house and on the side of the house was a small garden where they grew their food. It was a simple and self sustaining life, one that had done she and Master Luke well. And now would be the life Ben would live until further arrangements were made by Luke, "I know it's small and not much." Odette stated, glancing over at Ben, finally speaking since they had left Luke in that clearing, "But it works at keeping us safe and healthy. Luke spoke off possibly building another place, not too far off from this area. Where we could have more room to have other padawans come. We will have to one day after all, if we are to re-establish the new Jedi Order. But, until then, this is home."

Despite what anyone else thought of this simple life, Odette enjoyed it. It was peaceful and gave her plenty of room to mediate and focus on the Force because there were no distractions. Not in a life like they lived anyway. She wouldn't trade this way of life for the world.

Walking into the small home, she made her way through the halls and to one of the few rooms in the home, opening up the door, "This will be your room. My room is next door. And Master Luke stays down the hall." She gestured to the back of the home, "That way is the kitchen and dinning area. As well as the sitting room." She looked back to him and gave him her best smile, an attempt to cheer him up a little bit, "It's not so bad here. I think you'll come to like it in time once you get used to things. For now, if you have any questions and Master Luke isn't around to answer them, you can ask me. I may not have all the answers, but maybe I can be a little helpful at the very least."

She shrugged slightly, "I guess that's really it for now. I'll let you go rest. Unless there's something else you wanted to know or see?" She asked, giving him the option for now to choose what he wished to do, whether it be to just be alone or see more of the surrounding areas, learn more about the Jedi, or anything else that might come to mind. Whatever it might be, it was up to him and she would do her best to be a good host until Master Luke returned.

I was thinking we could both. Don't worry XD If I have any plot ideas I will likely let you know about them before hand so we can try to head it in that direction. And if I did have an idea I wanted to keep a secret I could squeeze it in somewhere XD Don't worry. You won't mess anything up.
