Zarius swiped his saber to the left, just in time to stop the blow that
would have definitely chopped him in two.
"You're slowing Zarius!"
"Yes father I know."
"If you know then why don't you correct yourself?"
"There is no need as you are already beaten."
"WHAT!?"
Zarius using his innate Jedi powers knocked his father's feet out from under him and flashed his saber to his defenseless father's neck.
"Quite good."
"It could have been better." Replied Zarius.
"It is quite good for a blind man."
Zarius' eyes had never fully healed from an accident while crafting his first lightsaber, which promptly blew up in his face upon its first activation. He however had tuned his force power so well that he no longer needed his eyes to see.
"I am quite sorry Father."
"Why my young son?"
"For embarrassing you."
"My son you have done nothing wrong by beating me, In fact I do believe that you have grown out of my tutelage."
"Meaning?"
"I shall contact the Council and suggest you take the trials."
"Thank you Father."
Zarius hugged his father; Saris had been his sole support since his mother had died giving birth to his brother Danin a year before. Saris was regretful as he still felt that Zarius' loss of vision was his own foolish mistake.
Waving goodbye to his father was very hard for Zarius, as he had never left his fathers side before much less his home planet of Dantooine. As he looked back towards his father from the window seat on the transport he suddenly realized that he might never see his father again. It was too late to act as the transport shot off the launch pad and into space.
"Good luck my son."
