The Jedi Academy: A New Beginning


Cylynn was finally of age to attend the Jedi acedmy, so she said goodbye to her family and left to become a force for the better good. When Cylynn arrived she was met by Master Jenobi and her other classmates. "Welcome Younglings, today you begin your journey to becoming a jedi, here you will learn of the force, the jedi teachings, and eventually go through your trials. I feel the force is strong with all of you." Jenobi led the younglings to their quarters in the jedi Temple. "Get to know one another as you will be spending a great deal of time together on this journey" Cylynn turned to a young Zabrak standing next to her, and she immediately sensed that they were going to be good friends. "Hi, I'm Cylynn" she said as he turned and smiled at her "I'm Stritor, I sense a strong sense of the force in you, we may want to be partners through the trials." They unpacked and not long after Master Jenobi returned, "Well younglings it's time to begin" She lead them to a library in the jedi temple. "Here younglings you will study the force and our teachings, there is no greater weapon then knowledge"  Cylynn began studying the teachings of Odan-Urr "There is no emotion there is Peace, there is no ignorance there is knowledge, there is no passion there is serenity there is no chaos there is harmony, there is no death, there is the force." Cylynn wanted to be a jedi but there were so many emotions and passion stirring inside her, she did not know if she could ignore her feelings and her emotions, but she was determined to try. The lessons continued with Master Jenobi.  "Younglings, as a Jedi we must learn that we are the protectors of peace, we respect all life forms. We use our powers and the force to protect and defend others, never to instigate any attacks. This is why we must study the force before learning to fight." She then had the younglings pair up. "But, being a protector for good there is also evil, so there may be a time where you will have to fight in order to defend and attack, so find a partner and use your force to anticipate their moves. Cylynn turned to Stritor, "Partners?"   Stritor smiled and followed Cylynn to the temple. They began to practice letting the force flow through them and influence their sparring exercises. "You're pretty good at this for a human" Stritor taunted her smugly. Cylynn couldn't help but let her emotions and feelings bubble to the surface, she has strong feelings for Stritor. She wondered if he could sense it in her. Their eyes met for a moment, she stretched out using the force to sense what he was thinking. "You know what you're thinking is strictly forbidden Cylynn." Stritor said locking his eyes on hers. "I'm sorry, I'm trying to keep my emotions buried...'There is no emotion only Peace'" Cylynn recited then she walked away not knowing what to do about what she was thinking or feeling. Master Jenobi approached her, "Cylynn, I sense a disturbance in you, what is troubling you?" "Master, I'm trying to find my interpeace, I don't want my emotions to control me, I don't want to fail the trials." Cylynn said "Cylynn, there is much good in you, I can help you find your inter peace, but it takes discipline and meditation, but we can focus on this in the future. Come we will meditate let the force guide you."
