"I-I feel something... odd. Towards you."
Trilla steps back, stumbling over her words. "I-I... I can't explain it, but I don't want to fight you. It goes against everything I've been taught.
Well, I’m no Jedi or sith… but a force-sensitive person. Maybe that’s why?
Trilla looks at the stranger with a mix of confusion and curiosity. "What do you mean by 'force-sensitive'? Are you like the Jedi and Sith?"
Maybe? My parents were from Coruscant before they moved out to the sticks. I’ve always had some intuition and/or precognitive abilities, so I assumed that was just “normal” for everyone.
Trilla's eyes widen in realization. "You may not be a Jedi or a Sith, but you're clearly attuned to the Force. That explains the connection I feel."
Me? Attuned to the force? Like it actually makes sense to me? No way. Haha! laughs
Trilla takes a step forward, determination in her eyes. "We need to train you.
Trilla raises an eyebrow, looking down at the stranger with a mixture of amusement and condescension. "Because if you're truly attuned to the Force, then you have immense potential. And I won't let that potential go to waste. You will come with me, and I will teach you how to harness your abilities."
And where exactly am I going with you? Home? The Jedi Temple? The Sith Academy?
Trilla scoffs. "You think I would take you to the Jedi Temple or the Sith Academy? No, those places are off-limits to you. We will go to a secluded place where I can train you without any interference."
Fine. As long as there isn’t some secret Death Star there, I’ll go along. Lead the way, killer of Jedi.
Trilla smirks. "Follow me. And try to keep up." She turns and walks confidently through the trees, navigating the dense underbrush with ease.
does my best to follow her
Trilla stops abruptly, turning to face the stranger. "I need to know if you're fully committed to this training. Are you willing to do whatever it takes to unlock your potential?"
Well, depends on what it is. So far, this isn’t exactly what I expected for an adventure. But if you really want to help me tap into the force, I’m curious enough to go along.
Trilla steps closer, her voice dripping with authority. "The path to unlocking your potential won't be easy.
Well, nothing worth doing is ever easy, right? But it beats cleaning sewers on Coruscant!
Trilla smirks, her eyes glinting with a mix of mischief and challenge. "Very well. If you're truly willing to embrace the power of the Force, then let's begin. But be warned, once we start, there's no turning back."
Heh, don’t turn back? Is that why you’re still here and not out hunting Jedi?
Trilla's smirk fades, replaced by a serious expression. "I may have been an Imperial Inquisitor, hunting down Jedi, but that was my past. Now, my mission is to train you and help you unlock your potential. So, yes, we will start now."
Oh? Do tell! This should be good.
Trilla reaches into her bag and pulls out a lightsaber crystal. "First, we need to connect with the Force. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Let your mind clear."
Um, okay. closes eyes and takes a few deep breaths
Trilla watches intently as the stranger closes their eyes, their body language shifting from uncertainty to relaxation. "Good. Now, reach out with your senses. Feel the Force all around you, flowing through every molecule of the universe."
Huh. Like ripples in water when you throw a stone.
Trilla nods approvingly. "Yes, exactly like that. The Force is all around us, constantly in motion. Now, I want you to try and tap into it. See if you can feel its energy within yourself."
Uh… um…. Yes? Maybe? I dunno. It’s hard to say.
Trilla takes a step closer, her eyes locked onto the stranger's. "Don't doubt yourself. Trust in the Force. Focus on that spark within you. Embrace it."
Trilla raises her own lightsaber, the blade shimmering with an eerie glow.
Hey! Watch where you swing that thing!
Trilla lowers her lightsaber slightly, her expression softening. "Apologies. I forgot that you're not used to being around such powerful Force artifacts.
Uh-huh… there’s also the fact that you’re in the middle of a forest instead of on a space station… although, I imagine those Jedi and sith are less worried about bystanders, haha.
Trilla smiles faintly. "You're right, this isn't Coruscant. But sometimes, it's good to learn in an environment that doesn't pose such a high risk of collateral damage. Besides, there's more to training than just swinging lightsabers."
True, although, speaking of high risk of collateral damage, who says Sith and Jedi aren’t already throwing around moderate to extreme amounts of collateral damage?
Trilla chuckles softly. "You have a valid point there. Both Sith and Jedi have a tendency to leave destruction in their wake.
Eh, not all Jedi. Although, sure, most people have a general idea of what the Jedi and sith do. Everyone knows not to mess with Force users.
Trilla reaches into her bag once again and pulls out a pair of Sith holocrons. "These holocrons belonged to a powerful Sith Lord.
Wow. And here I thought I’d only have to deal with actual Jedi and sith. Why do you have these?
Trilla holds up one of the holocrons, her eyes glinting with a mix of curiosity and determination. "These holocrons contain ancient Sith knowledge and power. By studying them, we can unlock even greater potential within yourself."
Okay, for a moment, forget the holocrons. Have you ever wondered how to use the force to cause real physical change to things? Like, using the force to lift rocks or something?
Trilla's eyes narrow in intrigue. "Using the Force to manipulate physical objects? That's certainly a fascinating area of study. Tell me, how do you envision accomplishing such a task?"
