To Gather the Light (Jedi)(Complete)

Entering the temple, he spotted Dyto Uknok. "Koh-Toh-Yah, Master Dyto." Dyto turned and greeted the kel dor Jedi in the same fashion. "And who might this be?" Dyto asked curiously. "She is a pupil of mine. Serinn, this is Dyto Uknok. He is the combat instructor here. One of the strongest and wisest in the art of combat here among the Baran Do. I've learned a lot from his teachings."
 
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Serinn." He said before turning his attention to Kaen. "You bring yet another outsider to be trained by the Baran Do?" Kaen shook his head. "No, Master Dyto. She wishes to be instructed in Jedi combat, so I will be teaching her for the time being." The kel dor combat instructor chuckled a bit. "Can't leave the Jedi life after all I see. Very well, our full training facilities are open to you to train her." Giving a bow, Kaen responded. "Thank you."

Motioning Serinn to follow him, they made their way to the training room. "Here we are." He said before getting ready. "Before I will teach you, I need to see what you know first. I want to see your raw natural saber skills to gain a better understanding of your person."

"It's not about what you have or haven't learned. It's about what you can do. A person doesn't need to be trained with a sword to know how to swing it." He paused before continuing. "A person's natural self shines when there has been nothing to influence it. I'm not assessing what you know. I'm assessing who you are. Your natural body movement with a blade. Your natural instincts. These things can tell me a lot about who you are as an individual, and as a combatant. From there, I can properly instruct you." Reaching for his lightsaber hilt, he pulled it from his belt and readied it. "Now, show me what you can do."

With a snap hiss, a blue blade sprung forth from the hilt. Gripped firmly in his hand, Kaen moved the blade in a vertical position held to the right side of his body. His left foot leading while his right foot was placed back behind him.Without haste, he turned the blade outward and down to where the tip of the blade was parallel to his right foot.. At the same time he swung it forward as his right foot followed, allowing the blade to strike upward to aim for Serinn's left thigh.

"Good defense." He was already starting to slowly form a profile of her in his head. Without notice, he pulling his blade back and thrusting it forward in order to stab her chest.

No reply. Good. That showed dedication and focus. The moment she got into position, Kaen stepped forward, twirling the blade around his left side and bringing it up to swing it down towards her head.

As the sabers clashed, Kaen held his position firmly. Stepping in, he quickly pulled the blade back, moving it under and striking diagonally upward in an arching manner. His blade facing opposite of his opponents. The side of her body where her blades hilt would be, his blade would be facing. His movement was tight, close, and short in movement. Not allowing any gaps or room for her to move her arms down to block as his blade came upward. His strike aiming to come up and hit under her arms. Had it not have been for him having his lightsaber on a low power setting, the strike if landed would've slices off an arm.

Impressive, he thought to himself. For someone who lacked training with a blade, she was quite able to hold her own. As she moved back, Kaen pushed forward to quickly close the distance. With the momentum, he thrust his blade forward to stab her. Moving his leg outward, he placed his weight on it and quickly pivoted around her. His back facing the back of her side. In mid swing of his blade one hand changed positions, now gripping the blade in reverse, while the other hand kept turning the blade. Changing it from what would've been a slash, into a stab. Using the hand he used to turn the blade, he placed it on the pommel, pushing it as he thrust the blade behind him to stab her from behind.

The Jedi knight's grip on his lightsaber hilt remained tightened as he felt the pull of the Force trying to pry it from his hands. Dedicated to end the session there, he maintained his course of action.

Kaen deactivated his lightsaber. He had seen all there was. The way she fought, her movements, her actions, showed someone who was a survivor. Someone who had gone through many things most would've already been dead from. "You've done rather well. You're raw in your fighting, but you are quick thinking and resourceful. Which will matter in a life or death scenario. Of course you already know that. You fight to survive. Now that I've truly grasped a greater understanding of you, I can begin to teach you properly."
