Chapter 13: Building Lightsabers
"Professor Huyang, Aryn has a question," Alania figured that Aryn should ask her question now before they started building their lightsabers.
"As each Jedi and crystal is unique, does the lightsaber share that same uniqueness?" Aryn asked.
Professor Huyang nodded and said, "Yes. A Jedi's lightsaber is an extension of themselves."
Aryn nodded. Her lightsabers had to be made of meteorite metal and maybe a hidden compartment for a few small pebbles, yeah, and she had to be able to easily switch between using them and her bending. But she'd need to reinforce them with platinum…wait, Mandalorian steel would be the better option. It is bendable, but is still nearly impossible—even Toph Beifong couldn't bend it when the Council brought her in to demonstrate a Metalbending manuever to Aryn. Aryn, however, was easily able to bend it. "Do you know how you want your lightsabers?" Professor Huyang asked.
Aryn nodded eagerly in response. "Mandalorian steel with a hidden compartment, only accessible through bending," Aryn decided.
Using the Force, the young Jedi carefully constructed their lightsabers. Aryn studied her newly constructed lightsabers carefully. She'd ultimately gone with the guard shoto design, foregoing the compartment for a few small pebbles for emergency Lavabending. She'd carry those in her pack. In addition to being of Mandalorian steel, the outer casing was also covered in Phrik metal, another metal that only Aryn was able to bend.
Along with the rest of her age mates, Aryn proudly showed her new guard shotos to Master Windu, who immediately frowned at the fact that Aryn's lightsabers were so different from everyone else.
Aryn didn't acknowledge Master Windu's annoyance and quickly returned to her quarters, along with Ahsoka.
