OK.
This is straight off the top of my head and isn't even revised yet. So let me know what you think please......
...Comments and feedback are welcome in this thread!
==============================================
Story takes place a number of years before the execution of Order 66 on Tenric's homeworld.
==============================================
A Lesson Learned (part I)
(a tale of Tenric’s training)
Tenric crashed through the underbrush at the edge of the clearing, breathing heavily. In his right hand was the broken, jagged, end of a stout tree branch and on his left temple there was a darkening bruise. He kept glancing over his shoulder as he ran, looking in vain for signs of pursuit. He cast wildly behind him with the Force trying to both sense and repel his attacker. It was no use, however, for he was still too young and inexperienced to do much more than scare himself with his ineffectiveness...
...“Have you still not learned that life very rarely follows the route we have planned for it.” His Master replied. “A Jedi must be always ready, always alert, always attuned to the Force. Otherwise you will fail, whether as ambassador, negotiator, or warrior.” He finished, “Now come and wash up.”
============================================
They went to the edge of the pond that bordered the clearing and his Master watched as he washed the dirt and mud from his face and hands. When he had finished his Master examined the bruise that was now a deep purple. “I think we shall let you wear that one for awhile, to help you remember.”
Tenric sighed and hung his head slightly. “Yes Master.”...
...“All life, my Padawan, is an exercise in symbiosis. The Force is no different. A Jedi who wishes to master the Force must learn to accept this interconnectedness, and learn how to use it. The task is a long and hard one, but the rewards begin even while one is still upon it.”
