A second time, a second master. (Training of Aeton Maydar)

[Aeton]

Aeton circled the stone pillar that was positioned in the center of the courtyard waiting for who was to be his second master. The sun beat down on his smooth, silky, sap green skin and allowed his eyes to glint like two fine cut diamonds. His motions were slow and steady which allowed his elegant brown robes to slowly trail the ground. It was a normal day at The Great Temple but the feeling of walking around in the courtyard had changed since the death of his former master, Vizza.

Visions surrounded Aeton day and night of the possible torture Vizza had endured, yet, the young Nautolan was always left to second guess the situation as the council had not made it clear. All he knew is that the Zabrak who had first welcomed him, who had selected him, who had put plenty of trust and belief into him was gone, gone for good.

 

[Ares]

Veren Lorollo stood on the upper balcony circling the main courtyard. He looked down at the Nautolan below with stormy blue eyes. The Faun-like Jedi Knight spoke.

"You seem troubled, Padawan."

He jumped over the rail, flipping once, and landing on his hooves. "I am Veren Lorollo, your new mentor. How much have you been taught by Vizza?" He paused between each sentence long enough for Aeton to answer.

 

[Aeton]

Aeton looked up with beady eyes and spoke as his new mentor slammed his hooves into the ground.

"I've had sleepless nights."

He examined Veren carefully, never before had he seen his kind. "Master Vizza has taught me great discipline, not to worry and to be myself at all times." Aeton turned his head, he missed the Zabrak greatly despite the short time they endured together.

 

[Ares]

Veren grimaced inwardly. The only problem with half-trained Padawans was that they always missed their dead masters- perfectly understandable, but it made them harder to train.

"I am sorry for your loss. It is horrible to lose a friend, much less a mentor."

The Jedi continued on, "However, training and mental activities can help numb grief, thus I propose the next excercise. Tell me, what is the Force to you?"
