Training for the boy started today. Darth Vader woke Anakin up. "Get up you
lazy boy! Time to run." Darth Vader sent Anakin running at Force speed to
the top of a cliff that was twenty miles away. Anakin ran as fast as he
could. He used the force to dodge objects and roots that were reaching up
to trip him. Force speed was fast and hard to maintain. But maintain he did
until he reached the cliff. He stopped for he saw his master. "Don't stop
boy keep running" yelled Darth Vader, and with that he forced push Anakin
off the cliff. Anakin used the force to slow his fall enough to grab a
ledge and flip up back onto the cliff.
Vader then had Anakin kneel at the very edge and meditate. Vader guided Anakin in his meditation helping him reach his inner self.
Each Day started with the run to the cliff. The push off and meditations, then came difficult katas, and light saber duels. Anakin was growing taller and older.
On his tenth birthday Anakin's master took him into town. Light saber duels were taking place. The apprentice who won was allowed to leave the planet with his master and along with his favorite choice of craft.
Anakin's Master had deemed him ready to leave the planet. Anakin had to fight older apprentices to win the off world spot.
Anakin walked with his head bowed behind his master. Anakin was confident. He was five foot seven and was very, very deadly with a light saber.
The duo reached the arena where, Anakin would fight. It was a glass cage floating in the air.
Darth Vader put his hands around Anakin's throat and lifted hip up eye level. "Do not fail me."
Then he put Anakin down and the first match began.
(Anakin's POV) The words do not fail me hung heavily in my mind. I was so nervous here I was only ten years old and I would be fighting the best and older apprentices. My opponent step into the arena he was about my height and he looked deadly. When the ref called start I ran at him attacking. My opponent was momentarily stunned and I won the bout. Bout after bout I won never really facing a challenge until the championship fight. A masked man as taller then me entered the arena. The bout started I attacked then retreated as the man hit my saber. I was quickly on the defense. I blocked blow after blow. All of his blows were one handed and they were strong. I closed my eyes and let myself flow with the force. Hour after Hour we fought.
The force was strong and I saw an opening in my opponents defense. I struck at his leg, but as he lowered his blade to block mine I pulled the blow and struck his neck. The saber lightly burned his skin and the bout was mine.
My opponent left before he took off his mask and I caught no glimpse of him. End Anakin's POV "Boy you failed me. The last bout should have been finished hours earlier. He had so many holes in his defense. Since you eventually won your punishment will be light and dealt with later. Go get your ship," said Darth Vader.
Anakin ran off to secure his victory ship. While Darth Vader went to the king to get their off world assignment.
