Star Wars~~~The Fight for Freedom!

Valkyrie growled slightly, her wings twitching.

Aluik's mind was analyzing Valkyrie and what it would take to to get her to accept Xevari.

Want to skip ahead to the night?

Valkyrie stopped at the door of her room. "One more thing. Don't let anyone come into my room if they value their lives."

What's happening the next night?

She sneaks out to train and if Aluik catches her she might have a chance to meet Valkyrie's master.

Okay.

Aluik sat out on the ledge of her room over looking the courtyard. Her sharp eyes scanned for padawans out of bed.

Valkyrie slid out the door and looked around, she took off across the courtyard and launched into the air.

She felt a disturbance in the Force and saw a flicker of movement below. She could just barely make out a few details because of the distance, but she thought she saw Valkyrie.

Valkyrie flew toward he training ground.

Aluik knew that Valkyrie or not, she had to investigate. She flew silently after the padawan out of bed.

Valkyrie flew silently over the trees and landed. a few minutes later a shimmering form appeared beside her. "Hello Valkyrie. Are you ready to start training again?" Valkyrie activated her lightsaber, smiling. "Yes Master. I am."

Aluik hid in a tree.

Valkyrie's master pointed at a large broken column. "Try lifting that with the Force." Valkyrie held out her hand and closed her eyes. After a few seconds the column hovered into the air. Valkyrie opened her eyes and dropped it. "That was too easy."

Aluik tried to make out who the mysterious figure was. She realized she'd have to use her cat-like eyes.

What's the name of Valkyrie's master?

Her master pointed to another broken pillar. "Do what you will then." Valkyrie's eyes flashed, the pillar practically leaped into the air. Valkyrie launched after it, her lightsaber flashed faster then the eye could follow. The pillar almost exploded into chunks. Valkyrie landed, grinning.


Aria Malkar.

Aluik remembered the Jedi from another academy/Jedi temple, but couldn't remember her name. She pondered it.

Valkyrie deactivated her Lightsaber and picked up a stick. Straightening up she snapped her fingers. With a yowl a giant Binarian Sabercat came bounding out from the jungle. Without a word Valkyrie attacked, they whirled together what seemed to be a dance. The slices and jabs from both claws and stick just missing or defected. Valkyrie's master nodded. "Good. You are improving."

Finally, Aluik remembered. It was Aria Malkar. She had died awhile back and had been a promising Jedi who had to potentially to become a very powerful Master.

Valkyrie suddenly stopped. Aria tilted her head. "Is something wrong." Valkyrie's eyes gleamed. "There's someone else here!"

Aluik knew that Aria, if at all, wouldn't be as mad as Valkyrie. Knowing that Aria would most likely stop Valkyrie from attacking her, she stayed where she was.

Valkyrie's eyes closed as she scanned the Force. Her eyes flew open. "ALUIK!" Her wings sprang open and she yowled her fury. "COME OUT!"

Aluik leaped out of her tree, calm. "Long time no see, Aria."

Valkyrie's eyes narrowed. "You know my Master!" Aria dipped her head she drifted forward and stuck her arm in front of Valkyrie to stop the enraged Padawan from charging. "Likewise Aluik."

"We were...I suppose the best word is at least acquaintances," Aluik explained without glancing at Valkyrie. "Aria, I did not remember...despite my good memory...you were her master."

Valkyrie folded her wings and stepped back, still glaring. Aria nodded. "I was until Darth Vader killed me. I found her a few years ago and took her on as my Padawan. Not many knew of her. I don't believe you were one of the ones that did."
