“Every feint, every dodge, every block is a trap to the unwary.”
― Lightsaber combat tenet
TRAINING DOJO
Few of the students actually possessed lightsabers yet; they still had to prove themselves worthy in the eyes of the instructors. In fact, it was impressed upon them that they should learn the styles and techniques they would use to demonstrate they had earned the right to craft their own weapons.
And so each morning the apprentices would gather on the wide, open space of the Padawan dojo to practice their drills and routines under one of the Master’s watchful eyes, struggling to learn the exotic manoeuvres that would keep them alive on the battlefield.
Perspiration was already running down the crown of Fiach’s head and into her eyes as she put her body through its paces. She blinked away the stinging sweat and redoubled her exertions, carving the air before her again and again and again with her training saber. All around her other apprentices were doing the same; each was struggling to conquer his or her own physical limitations and become more than just a warrior with a weapon. The goal was to become an extension of the Force itself. And for the Padawan and saber to become one.
