Shadows of Bankor

She new what was coming. She didn't know what role she would play. But, Zerras knew she needed to be ready. For her, that meant going for a run. She couldn't do that at the temple or the Sword. But, the area around the cabin seemed perfect.

Oraka meditated under a tree, his injuries had been bothering him and meditation gave him peace from the lingering wounds. He felt Zerras run through the Force, it was good the young Padawan was adjusting well to the changes.

As she approached the tree, she slowed and stopped. As she had done with Qareme, she decided to sit quietly and meditate with Oraka.

OOC: Discipline check at Hard may roll Force and add pips as advantage or success.

She felt something pulling at her in the Force. It kept her distracted and unfocused.

[Day 9, EM] Off and Running, Hard Discipline: 1eA+2eP+1eF 3 successes, 2 advantage, 1 Dark Side

[Day 9, EM] Off and Running, Hard Discipline, Forgot the rest of the dice: 3eD 3 failures, 2 threat

She felt darkness, she felt pain laying on her back looking at her fellow Jedi their lifeless face staring back at her, she was the last the only hope and she had failed. A heavy boot fell on her chest as a crimson saber was driven down snapping her from a dark revelry.

She had difficulty catching her breath, as the shock of the vision threatened to overwhelm her. She didn't understand. But, Zerras still struggled to find peace.

"You seem troubled," Oraka said.

"I... I saw something.... felt it." she explained, still breathless. "Something deadly."

"Did you see your own death?" he asked.

"The moment of." she nodded. "A crimson saber descending on me, with no escape. And, I wasn't the first."

"The Future is a moving target, Zerras, you have seen one possible interpretation... it should not paralyze you, but do not ignore it either," he said calmly.

"No matter the outcome, remember there is no Death, there is the Force."

"Yes." she nodded. "I will. It seemed so hopeless..."

"It is only hopeless if you give up, Zerras. A Jedi is never alone when they have the Force and fellow Jedi elsewhere in the galaxy," he responded.

"It's been hard to understand that." she admitted. "Until I came here, I felt very alone. Now, I worry about losing the friends I've made."

"Natural, but also dangerous if that concern becomes obsession... friends will come and go, we cannot force them to stay," he said honestly.

"No attachments." she nodded. "We can't stay here, can we? Regardless of how we face the approaching darkness, we'll need to move on."

"Eventually, yes, you will have to move on," he agreed.

"I haven't been here long, but it's clear how helpful you've been to all of us. Thank you." She smiled. "I hope I have time to learn more from you."

"We are all connected by the Force, I will be your guide for as long as you need," he said.

"Do you have any recommendations? For what I should do next?"

"Do you have any recommendations? For what I should do next?"

"Keep running, not away but towards your destiny," he said.

"That is a very good idea." she stood. "I appreciate meditation, but running is what has always brought me focus."

He nodded and returned to his meditations.

"May the Force run with you, Padawan," he added.

"May it be with you Master, always." With a parting smile, she took off running once again.
