Room of a Thousand Fountains; Zaarua & Skye

The Room of a Thousand Fountains was a sight to behold to anyone new to the temple. It was a giant greenhouse several stores tall filled with the most exotic trees and plants from across the galaxy, in amongst them one thousand fountains were hidden off the sides of paths or in direct view giving meditation refuge for all Jedi alike.

It was with very room that two new hopefuls were about to experience the beginnings of the Jedi path and step onto the path to their destiny. Master Kai Se'lba was sitting crossed legged on a large rock beside a large fountain that fired water 10 feet into the air peacefully allowing it to curtain down to the base and gently splash as the water landed in itself again.

In front of him two mats were occupied by the contrasting figures of the Human Skye Kovani and the Wookie Zaarua. One small and tender the other larger and covered fully in hair, each facing the Bothan Master diligently.

"My pupils I hope this location is suited to the both of you. I felt today a place of tranquillity and inspiration was needed for what I have in store for you both.

Zaarua felt more at peace in the tranquil garden of the Jedi Temple than he had ever felt back on his home planet of Kashyyyk. The garden didn't have the same homely feeling but the splashing of the water as it landed in the fountain and the gentle movements of the trees made him feel completely at ease.

After taking in the atmosphere for a few seconds, Zaarua replied in the growls and moans of Shyriiwook, the only language his throat could manage, "It is incredible, master." The short statement of amazement was all he could manage before his gaze wondered back to the many plants as he began to study the different types of bark and wood. In Shyriiwook, there were over 150 words for different types of wood depending on many factors and, as he regarded the different trees, Zaarua was sure he would find every single type of wood in this very room.

She could feel her jaw almost drop as she took in the beauty, the sight was enough to take away her nerves of standing next to a wookiee. She had never in her life met a wookiee before, so the large stature was sure to get to her at some point, especially if their training included her having to spar with him, but as of right now... That didn't matter. Her eyes scanned the room over and over again as she tried to take in the magnificent scope of it all.

This is so much better than Taris, I could live here and feel completely free

She turned her head to her master, trying to see what she could make out in his appearance. She allowed herself to smile, though her feeling of nervousness was clear to anyone who was at the very least slightly force aware. She hated how much her feelings betrayed her, but there was little she could to about it until she was taught to control them more. "Master Se'lba, what is it we're going to be doing here anyway? This place is to beautiful to imagine training in it"

"Ah young Skye, training does not necessarily mean training of the body."

Se'lba smiled at the freshness of her mind and to the naivety of Zaarua, it was a pleasure teaching such fresh and youthful minds in ways they have never thought existed.

"There is much training a Jedi has to under go in their life, from the training of your knowledge; the training of the feelings in your heart and yes training your physically is very important."

A small stream of water from the falling fountain slowly began to flow towards the younglings as it snaked smoothly and effortlessly in the air before it formed a figure of eight not far in front of Se'lba as he talked casually.

"Most importantly though you must train your mind and your connection to the Force."

His last sentence was clear in the young ones minds as he smiled with his lips unmoving as he spoke into their minds directly to emphasise his point to them.

Zaarua's concentration immediately turned from the many types of wood to the shape the water was making in front of him. The water flowed elegantly through the air and seemed like a blue and white snake with its scales glinting in the light.

As it formed the figure of eight, Zaarua heard words within his head; they seemed to come from the Jedi Master with Zaarua experiencing the same feeling of peacefulness he had felt when his master had spoken before...but his lips hadn't moved. Zaarua didn't panic but a feeling of dissaray came over him as he wondered how it was possible. He had been told of the force by a Jedi in his past but he had never really grasped what the man had meant...had his master used the force? Or was it some kind of mental trick?

"Is this the force?" He asked, airing his question immediately in the Wookie language.

[Just wondering, Skye can't understand me right? It'll be interesting if we have to work as a team :D]

[yeah, she can understand some of what you can say, like the basics, and she'll learn more and more as we go along]

As she watched the water flow, her mouth opened in awe of the water, it was no doubt that it was the force, a new level of respect grew for her to her master, glowing from her in the force. She reached out as if to touch it, but pulled back out of slight nervousness. Instead, she decided to extend her force awareness in an attempt to touch it through the force itself. Though she didn't know if she had enough training to manage that, it just felt right to her.

"Master, your in my head again..."

She felt instantly aware of his voice, and the nervousness caused her to react, as it always did, and she hoped it didn't cause a reaction from her master.

With a wave of a hand the water figure shot back into the fountain to continue its cycle as if it was never disturbed before. His students pleased him greatly and Se'lba could already detect so much potential from his brief visit into their minds.

"Your right Zaarua this is the Force, the connection that binds all life in the universe. With your training you will be able to communicate with it and use its power to accomplish so much."

Skyes comment made Se'lba smirk he knew of her nervousness and even her in own mind seemed trouble with doubt and uncertainty. One curious one nervous a greater pair if any he thought, together these two would advance far as well as cause him a lot of grief in the process.

"For our training this morning Skye I feel it is needed for me to lightly brush the surface of your inner selves. Your words can convey emotion and meaning but only can ones answer be truly understood in one self. I shall ask each of a question at the same time, not necessarily the same one and only I shall be able to hear your answers in your mind."

The sounds of fountains and the gentle rustle of leaves was soothing to everyone in the room even those hidden by the dense forest of trees and plants. The effect helped calm anyone who sat there long enough and allowed themselves to be taken by the Force.

"Now both of you take a deep breath and close your eyes, let the sound of your surroundings fill your ears and bloke all else out. Listen to only the sound of the water falling, the rustle of the leaves. Let the Force flow through you both and allow me into your minds and we shall begin. Do not worry either of you I am confident in your answers each of you."

Se'lbas mental voice was soothing with a slight drag on the end of his words as if there were a second voice of him just slightly later, the odd echo was soothing none the less as his voice was strong and clear in each mind. His own eyes were shut as he was breathing deeply focusing and relaxing his mind and body.

Zaarua took a second to calm himself and then did what his master asked of him. Along with his master's mental voice, he heard the many tiny splashes of water from the fountain along with the slight rustling of the leaves. He felt a light breeze against his face, causing some of his strands of fur to slowly waver in the air. Remembering his master's words, he concentrated on the soothing sounds and began to feel a completely new sensation; it was undescribable, it felt like the flow of the water that he had seen before but it went through him, yet around him also and through everything else; it was as if it was the trees, the fruits, himself. It was something he'd never forget.

Its wonderful...

She felt uncomfortable with this, and it was well seen within her force aura, it was filled with nervousness and a definite lack of comfort. She looked towards her master, into the eyes of the Bothan, but refused to take a step back, trying to block the emotions she was feeling. Being a slave to your emotions was bad, a path to the dark side, or so she was told. Though she could never figure out why people thought it to be so bad.

"Does it always feel this... Invading when you do that to people? or is the rules against such things? I just feel like, like it's no longer just me inside my mind."

She felt honesty was the best way to be, though she wasn't even sure if he could hear what she was saying, it may be troublesome if he did, and took offense to it. Though there was something strictly within his aura that told her that he wouldn't get angry at her speaking, or feeling her mind so to speak.

She decided to try and do what he had asked, closing her mind and extending her force awareness outwards eager to find out what it was that the master wanted her to feel.

"Very good Zaarua, your aura is glowing with joy right now. Now how do you feel about your new surroudings?"

Se'lbas question was oddly simply and short for such a concentrated and focused mind set, though simple and short didn’t always mean that an alternate motive was not behind his words. The feeling of a gentle warmth ran through out Zaaruas body as Se'lba spoke it was a voice of calm and peace as he spoke even more so than when he verbally spoke.

"My apologies Skye if this is making you uncomfortable just now. You are right there are general rules for using the Force to peer into ones mind and aura though when used correctly and controlled it is a very useful tool which I tend to use often. Now try and relax and feel as if I am right beside you in another plain of consciousness, nothing more than a simple talk. Though I must ask you your question, do you trust me?"

Just as Zaarua had felt the voice of Se'lba had the same calming and warm feeling though slightly more caring towards Skye, his intentions were not to upset or make his young ones feel controlled or invaded. His intentions were to merely brush the dust off the rouge rare stones that he saw these two as. The most impressive aspect of his talks were he was saying the two conversations at exactly the same time holding both conversations at once. Though the two young ones could not hear this Se'lbas mind was one of the sharpest and easily divided in the council.

Its as if the surroundings are glowing! Zaarua thought both to himself and his master, I can see, no, feel a force around everything, linking it all together. Its as if there is no difference between myself and the twig of a branch or a flower and the small ants marching across the ground. Everything living is full of activity! Even if the branches do not move much, only swaying gently in the wind, they are alive with energy; this force flows through them! He tried to describe it as best he could but the best form of description was the mental images and emotions that he communicated alongside his thoughts. An image of both peacefulness and livleness at the same time as the Force constantly flowed accompanied his speech.

It links everything together...But, master, how can a Jedi affect this force? It seems to be independent of everything, moving wherever it wishes... Zaarua was completely oblivious to Skye's situation as he blocked everything out but the Force, swirling through every living thing.

She seemed to smile, her mind put somewhat at ease by her masters words. Looking into the mans calming eyes, she knew he meant well and wouldn't intentionally invade her mind or privacy. She closed her eyes and began to focus on the force, feeling the peaceful growth of it, allowing her force aura to extend outwards, brushing past her master and her fellow padawan.

"It is alright my master, I am sure I will adjust to it eventually, it's just strange feeling what should be your voice, and feeling it through my body where it should be heard in my ears... If that makes sense"

She couldn't help but think it through, did she trust him? After all she had been through in her past, she still found it extremely difficult to trust, if it wasn't for her partners origins, she would be afraid of him. But knowing him to be a wookiee, they were very proud, and don't usually betray.

"I do trust you master, at least I think I do..."

Speaking it allowed instead of using the force like he had. But with it, she allowed a feeling of comfort glow from her force aura, in the hope of backing up what she was saying to him.

"Good very good, your link with the Force is indeed strong and your feelings are true to your words Zaarua. The Wookies perspective of the force has always interested me and made me respect it that much more for their unique descriptions of it all. I am pleased your mind follows in the way of many Wookie Jedi before you which is a very promising sign indeed. Now for your next question, what do you intend to achieve as a Jedi?"

"Very good Skye, your mind is troubled with your past history though I believe you are not past the point of developing your mind and allowing it to grow and mature, you are still young and this will allow you to grow beyond what you have ever imagined. Though as a child I never wanted to grow up so you might just be the same as I. So for your next question Skye, What is your fear in life?"


Both conversations happened at the exact same time as before Se'lbas mind working at twice the rate of most sentient beings with his advanced training, though he was quizzing his students he was very casual and relaxed even chuckling a little in his mind as he spoke to Skye. Everything was moving according to his idea and this was making him certain of his first impression of the two students when he had first met them.

Intend to achieve? The reason I wanted to become a Jedi was the example set by the Master I met on my home planet of Kashyyyk. He was gentle and helped our tribe to prosper through simple actions. I have never thought to achieve anything on a grand scale but I hope I will help many people through simple actions as he did. I have heard many tales of Jedi fighting off the Sith and saving whole planets from destruction but the Jedi have the power to help, that is all I have ever found out through my own experiences...

Images of the Jedi master and the simple tasks he had done flashed through Zaarua's mind, accompanying the message. Zaarua spoke the truths of his heart and doubted if he'd ever been so open to another being in his life; this mental link and his Master's calmness seemed to encourage him to be more truthful than he'd ever been before.

A smile formed across his soft lips, but only for a moment, he had hit the nail right on the head, but how did he know what she was feeling, what she was thinking? But she let the moment pass, who was she to question the words of a Jedi master. She could think on this invasion of privacy all day, but it still wouldn't help, she wanted to make the man whom saved her life proud of what she would become. For him at the very least, she would become a Jedi Knight.

"Yes Master, I am troubled by my past, I can't help it though, it was all I was for so long, a slave to someone, and I know I should be angry, but I can't be, my heart won't allow it. My biggest fear, myself I suppose, not living up to the man who saved me from my hell. He saved someone who every one believed to be worthless, I need to prove to him he made the right decision... I fear, more than anything, failure"
