A shorty but a goody. This is laying some ground work for stuff to come next.
"Tomorrow, dawn. Three lessons. I will teach you the ways of the Jedi⦠and why they need to end." he could feel Esinon smiling down at him as he walked back into his hut. He laid down to sleep,
"Wasn't so hard, huh." he heard her voice say.
"Go back to your eternal rest." he murmured, drifting off to sleep. He woke up early the next morning to a blaster firing, he walked outside to see Rey staring off into the distance.
"Hey! What's that about?" he asked pointing to the hole in her hut. She looked over to the angry caretakers trying to patch the hole,
"I was cleaning my blaster and it went off." he nodded before walking towards the mountain summit,
"Let's get started." he said, she followed him up the steep slippery slopes. She glanced back down to see Toby sitting on the rocks, letting the wind blow over his face.
Toby sat on the rocks letting the morning sun warm his face. As he could feel the spray of the water sprinkle on his arms. Something was about to happen, he had been away from the force for too long to know what it was. A small indistinct whisper was floating through the air. This disturbance in the force was getting stronger, all of a sudden he was knocked over onto the ground. Pain coursed through his body as he heard a loud cracking noise reverberate through the island. He stayed curled up on the ground until the pain left, he slowly crawled to his feet He made his way back to the falcon and sat down, a few minutes later he heard Rey's footsteps as she sat down next to him.
"So, how did it go?"
"I don't think I'm getting anymore lessons,"
"Oh, what happened?" he asked, trying not to pry about the disturbance in the force.
"I don't know enough about this stuff to really know. He said something about, I went straight to the darkness. I'm not really sure what he means,"
"I dunno either," he lied,
"Your a Jedi right?"
"Yes, well... I guess so."
"Can you train me instead?"
"I'm hardly qualified,"
"Please? Please?"
"I wish I could, but I can't without my sight."
"I understand," she said sadly,
"Hey, hey, hey, where's my ray of sunshine?"
"She's still here." she said, he could just tell she was smiling,
"It's all gonna be ok,"
"I'm gonna go check on Chewie." she said getting up,
"Ok," he heard her footsteps fading, he silently scolded himself. He couldn't fall in love with her. Jedi couldn't be in love. Could they?
