A Drop of Force

Chapter 9 : Commence

I own not those situations I borrow from Disney Properties, Lucas, Mechalich or Thomas Benjamin DeMayo. This is a dramatization from my mind on a character created from the meld of table gaming and so on. Special thanks to ideas Drew Karpyshyn and Tim Lebbon fermented. Special thanks to Morihei Ushiba who formed Petre with his wisdom. Like any mind construct this is an exercise and my own work building on other ideas from the past.

This is a Zeison Sha story, set in what is known as the Star Wars EU.

Yanibar

Original Colony, South Polar Continent

Ti'na awoke to an empty bower with the glow of someone knowing that they are loved. She rose to make for the refresher to wash down and dress. The smell of toasted grains reached her as she dressed and gathered her final things including a small sculpture Jahn made for her before she walked out to breakfast.

"Are you ready for your day student?" Vasca asked with a chortle.

"Today instead of just potlatch, we graduate." Ti'na stated.

"Today instead of what was planned, a new path formed." Petre answered with concern. "We have changed plans to a point, you and Vasca begin the trek." He flipped a map-drawing-panel illustration writ in the Force as Jahn so often did.

"You will be tempted to abandon your chosen path." Vasca said gravely.

She studied the map of the south on the simple stone table with its illustrations of moves and counter moves and saw… "We are going to be attacked?"

"We are never helpless for the Force is with us and our ally, the Allyan, Inuyan, Kasapa, Ikowa teachings took advantage of our terrain and plotted a counter move the Force guided. You will be safe should you choose to be, thanks to aikiwai." Petre responded sadly.

"You and I have a gathering to attend as we lead our people to safety and Petre leads them away with the Diskblade Alliance for that is how they are infiltrating."

"It begins with a changed venue." Petre began before Ti'na interrupted.

"Jahn is with Jannma." She said "That will pour salt."

"Not like you two were earlier." Vasca chuckled. "And the impetus to get those to show allegiance." Vasca turned Yanab serious as she said this.

Jahn had lead Jannma down a strange wide icy passage she had never seen before to an open metal door. She looked questioningly to him but he strode into the structure as if it was his pamilia.

"What we do next must be done here, others will delay the ceremony until our arrival." He then spread a myriad of parts before Jannma, along with some rare crystals bearing their own power.

"I will guide you, but you must chose, those blades we forged together are awesome, but will not be enough."

"You believe…."

"I believe you are the Paghuisa Mandrigma, the uniting warrior just as you believe I am Albulyaro Komoqua, healer and visionary. We make each other into the reality we chose to change the way the universe is headed. Together and apart as a piece of each is in the other so we will be both yet play to our strengths." Jahn said in the Asawa Ko Ritual the Yanab used. Then he broke form and smiled "It is why you have defeated me daily since I was eight, to have a goal. It is why you have enhanced your spirit to meet mine as a goal." Jahn caressed her arm as their thoughts continued to meld in a harmony "You will need these, maybe not today, hopefully not today, but you will need them. As Komoqua, it is my duty to teach you how to make this."

"You believe…"

"You are the most talented and powerful person in the galaxy with love pure in your heart, and you will get stronger and better." Jahn paused "Strong enough to defend choice."

"I believe you are the wind in my hair and song in my heart, forever together even apart your spirit will move me and shield me from negative thoughts and actions. You give me the strength as I give you strength, stronger together, time and space independent." She sang softly.

"That is what this is all about. People choosing liberation, their own way." Jannma said to Jahn's nod before she began.

"It is where creativity begins." Jahn finished their shared belief before she dropped into the guided meditation. She began to lead even as she saw Jahn illustrate the path.

"The Crystal is the heart of the blade and shield" Jannma began in song, living the ceremony that played in Jahn's mind. White crystals rose enthusiastically in response "The heart is the crystal of the Sha" as they oriented themselves glowing as other pieces met and formed around them. Her diskblades, stilettos and the butterfly knives, all jeweled secretly with these crystals as had been his gear, joined the song dance before her in support and acceptance, wrapped all in a Jahn cyclonic caress. "The Sha is the Crystal of the Force" she continued "The Force is the shield and blade of the heart, all are intertwined." He sang as the short handles and power supplies oriented themselves to fit together as one with a satisfying snick. "The Crystal, The Blade, The Shield, the Sha, we are One, the bulwark of the people, guardians of life, guides through the darkest hours." With that her new lightsabers formed and activated, a brilliant light near white violet. They were both short with bright beams and a harmonic sound unlike anything she had ever seen in holovids of the old Jedi. They were both higher pitched and less than a meter in length but Jannma was a momentum and speed fencer with near unlimited endurance. Reach meant squat as she had proven to Jahn and his high speed spear work was naught compared to her Jar Kai Sha Soresu so far.

"Remember the lesson of aikijuyo, turn the dark power upon itself." Echoed in their minds from Petre and Vasca.

"Asawa ko, are you ready?" she sang…

"Yes Asawa ko, I am ready." He returned in song as an electrostaff flew to him and they began testing the devices they created together in a final spar before they began their destiny.

A drawing slid from his szasa landing on the deck and sliding to a corner of the large room.
