They entered the work room. It was a small, plain room with several storage cabinets and a few workbenches.
"First, over here." Kelden instructed. The padawans obediently followed instructions. Kelden opened a storage case and motioned towards it. "Pick your favorite color." He ordered. Sar'ri immediately strode forward and picked up a silver and a green crystal. Kordav balked. Kelden rolled his eyes in a 'what's wrong now?' gesture.
"You have red crystals," he commented gravely, "Only Sith use red crystals."
"And that crystal has saved my life more than once. With that, I can strut into a Sith or Dark Force user's stronghold without a second thought. None are stupid enough to challenge a Dark Force user, not with what they can do." Kordav nodded gravely and pulled out a white crystal.
"One thing about that crystal," Kelden said, "it's dual sided, black on one and white on the other." Kordav looked at the crystal with happiness. He had only chosen the white crystal because he couldn't see a black. They took a seat as Kelden explained how to build a lightsaber and how to use a holocron. The two both learned quickly, and, within an hour, they were both finished.
"Before I even start to teach you how to use those," Kelden said gravely, "you'll learn when to use those." Kelden lectured them long and hard for about another hour, teaching them the responsibility that comes with being a Jedi, and the given self-control needed to keep lightsabers sheathed until needed. The call to eat came shortly after Kelden finished. The students ate at an assortment of tables, while the Jedi and Masters ate at one large one. The Force was used in great quantity here, training in the art of moving things with the power they had. Kelden's students, as always, looked a little lost. Kelden always taught the Force after lunch. This way, his students' first experience and knowledge of Force use came from peers. They learned better that way. They were all dismissed and joined up, student and master once again for afternoon lessons. Kelden led them to a small, plain room with opaque walls.
"I thought we were going to the training course." Kordav said as he levitated a small pebble. The pair of them had become fascinated with the Force, and put it to constant use.
"I would tell you you're going to feel that in the morning," Kelden said, amused, "but, alas, I know you won't."
"Why not?" Sar'ri asked, confused.
"Because, you two have a special connection to the Force; 0ne that's stronger than with the other students'." The two gave him questioning looks.
"Prove it." Kordav challenged. Kelden sighed, this almost always happened. No one believed him when he revealed their power to them. He gathered a small amount of lightning in his hand and let it at his two padawans. It played over their skin without hurting them. They both flinched away. It took them a second to realize it wasn't hurting them. They marveled at what was happening.
"Proof enough?" Kelden asked, "That little trick, the Force lightning, is really useful for opening locked doors. You just fry the panel, and, voila, instant key. Now, up. I'm going to teach you basic use of the Force."
