Color of Creation
Between worlds that were in a constant feud, there was always the Galactic Republic to solve all problems. Hundreds of representatives from all sorts of different planets and species gathered there and discussed many things from time to time. From the outer balconies were the ever faithful Jedi. The 'keepers of the peace' and at all times even tempered. Among the council that kept a close eye on things were the occasional other Jedi who would join in on the showcase. Like the representatives there were hundreds of Jedi knights and masters around the universe. It was always certain, however, that the Jedi would gather in Coruscant for a meeting of the Jedi Council. These were usually held every five years.
It was a week before the great meeting of Jedi that the next 'division' of Jedi would be spawned. A class of Jedi being trained would be able to be set out on their own. On a more often occasion these students were handed to other Jedi to be trained until a certain age. Other times, which were extremely rare, were the classes that were filled with those with the 'gift'. Though those who were trained one-on-one were more skilled when coming of age, those in the classes were let go a few years earlier depending on their status of control.
Among this class was Onin, a fifteen year old nearly ready to complete his training. It was on this day that they would create their own lightsaber and begin their flight or decent toward the light or the dark side. The jewels inside the lightsaber that gave birth to the two-meter blade only created the blade, the color came from the force and inner choice. It would remain the color unless it were broken down again, and retried, or a change of heart.
Today the classroom was very large, harboring twenty students and a master Jedi. Each student sat cross-legged on a large cushioned seat. Each of them had their eyes closed, and were easily mediating. The reason for such things on these days was to feel the force around them, to show the students that the force was around them, at all times. To seldom practice this the master, usually Yoda, would throw a balls into the air and watch as each student used the force to have it levitate to it's own accord. The Meditation would continue until evening, then off toward the more awaited parts of the day.
Upon ending the lesson, Yoda took hold of Onin as he was leaving the room to which his other anxious peers were already heading.
"Onin, talk to me will you?" Yoda's speech was a little different but understandable. Onin nodded, and walked behind Yoda who was leading him back to the cushioned seats.
"What is it Master Yoda?" Onin asked, his voice already deep in manhood. Although Onin wasn't exactly human he still possessed most of the traits set by the human race. Onin however would live many years longer than the human race, and mature much quicker. Already he was mistaken for an eighteen-year-old man.
"Strong have you become Onin. Recommended to the Council I have about a twin lightsaber set." Yoda had a concerned face on, it was his usual face that was held when he taught his students. Onin tried to hold back his excitement, it was rude to get excited without permission toward a Master. Onin nodded, his expression didn't change at all either.
"If you let me, Master Yoda, why would you have me with two lightsabers?" It was a silly question, apparently Onin would be doing better with two lightsabers? Perhaps he was not able to defend himself with only one? Was he overly dexterous?
"Trouble the other students would have with a single lightsaber. Two lightsabers suit you best it would." Yoda said, staring into Onin's eyes as if to strike fear into him, it did.
"If you don't mind, Master Yoda, I would like to overly thank you for choosing me. I understand that those with two lightsabers are those who are a little more skilled than the standard Jedi. I also understand that I am equal to all the other students here. Forgive my poor understanding." Onin bowed his head, he tried to be as proper as he could with all the Council members he had ever tried to be around. It was a good sign, although all the other students did the same. Maybe he had made an impression.
Yoda made a small laugh then lifted himself off of the cushioned seat. "Good, happy am I to see you agree."
"I do beyond any doubt Master Yoda."
"Hmm-hmm. Well, I've already told your lightsaber teacher that you will be creating two, so run along now, Jedi." Yoda threw in that last bit to make Onin feel better. Beyond all belief Onin had almost forgot this his title would be Jedi.
Onin bowed his head, "Thank you for your time Master Yoda. May the force be with you."
"And also with you." Yoda replied back.
In seconds Onin was hurrying off toward the next room, where the class had already started.
