Part 10 -
Tyron and Eleya are in a secluded section of the under belly of Nar Shaddaa. Tyron has tried for hours to have the young Twi'lek listen to what he has to say, but she isn't having any of it.
"Eleya, Jonto told me to teach you. Now listen to me." Arous said trying to convince her.
"Why are you even still trying Jedi."
"Because I know you are a strong person, but with no master you can never reach your potential." Arous stated still trying to win her over.
"Don't act like you know me Jedi. I'm not some helpless chick.. I can fight." She said annoyed, taking a seat on an abandoned pipe.
Master Arous took a long breath, and knelt on one knee in front of her, "Don't let that anger control you, Eleya. It will turn you into something you aren't, trust me on that."
Eleya sarcastically laughed, "You are kidding me, you are a Jedi. You have no idea how anger feels. You don't know how I feel either."
"Just because I am a Jedi, does not mean I have not struggled with my emotions, Eleya." Arous told her, "And since you say I do not know you. Tell me."
Eleya waited for him to tell he was joking but he didn't. She looked into his sage green eyes, and saw trust in them. "Fine. I was born on Nar Shaddaa, and abandoned as a child, eventually I started dancing here, and became great friends with Ce'na and her sister Tivva. As the years passed I was sold to a man named Romo."
"Romo?.." Tyron question, trying to think of the rest of the name.
"He was a bad man.. Real bad. At the time he was an officer of the Black Sun crime syndicate."
Arous remembered the name after Eleya's clue. "Romo Gra'v."
Her eyes widened, "Yeah, that was him."
"So when did you meet Jonto?" Tyron said trying to press on with her story.
"I escaped from Romo on Coruscant a few years back, and came across Jonto and his team. He took me in, and was almost like a father to me. At that time there were more of us. Now, only Jonto and I are still around from our original crew. But since Guark is back, there are three of us." She explained.
"You have had a very disruptive life. I'm sorry to hear it." Arous said showing compassion.
She saw the sadness in his eyes, "I don't know why I told you all this.. But I liked it."
Tyron smiled and stood up straight, reaching his hand down to her, "I'm glad. Now are you ready to get started."
Eleya looked at his hand and smiled back, grasping it and they began to train.
