Thread: Opposites Attract (Riven & MysticSparxman)

In the time she had spent in and around the twi'lek settlement, there had been times when Arruna had actually seen the Sith Acolyte, Allura. There again, it had been quite hard for Arruna not to notice Allura. It wasn't the fact she was a Sith that made her noticeable. That was actually one of the things Arruna had failed to notice. What she had noticed about Allura was her rare red skin tone. She was quite possibly the only twi'lek in the settlement with such a skin tone. It was just like Arruna was the only blue-skinned twi'lek in the settlement. The twi'leks in the settlement had a range of different skin colors, but none of them were blue or red unlike Arruna and Allura. The blue-skinned Padawan even spoke to Allura on one or two separate occasions, but each time, she had been with her master. Other than the fact Allura's skin tone was different from the rest of the other twi'leks, she genuinely saw no reason to suspect that anything could possibly be wrong. Arruna's Arkanian master would barely leave her side in the twi'lek settlement. Of course there were times when he either had business with some of the higher ranked twi'leks in the settlement as he had tried to offer them help with the Flesh Raiders that had been attacking their settlement. The Arkanian master had even helped to repel an attack by the Flesh Raiders, even though he was unable to prevent the creatures from snatching one of the twi'lek refugees. After the most recent attack, the Arkanian master had come to the conclusion that he and his Padawan would remain in the twi'lek settlement until the Flesh Raider's attacks had been dealt with. As much as Arruna wanted to help, there really was little she would be able to do with the training sabers she had been given by her master. It was probably one of the main reasons she wanted to become a Jedi Knight so badly. She wanted to be able to help others in the same way her master was helping the twi'lek refugees. Before going their separate ways after leaving the settlement, Arruna's master had simply told her to come and meet him once she had finished her training. He wasn't the type of master to interrupt her training, which was why he thought it better to leave her to it. There were times when Arruna would train together with her master, but most of the time she trained on her own. The blue-skinned twi'lek also happened to enjoy training on her own too, and none of her training sessions were ever the same. Due to the fact she carried two sabers, she was able to vary the type of training she might do. There might be times when she would train with a single saber, and then there were other times when she would train with both. However, despite the fact she would vary her training, she also made sure that she spent equal time training with one saber and with both. Her previous training session had been with one saber, which was why she decided to train with two this time. When she had eventually gotten around to her training, Arruna always put her full focus into it, which was why she failed to notice the Acolyte leaning against the base of a tree in full view of her. It was only the Acolyte's voice that pulled her out of focus. She stopped what she was doing and turned to face the red-skinned twi'lek. Tilting her head to the side, she studied the twi'lek for all but a moment before finally realizing who she was. You were in the twi'lek settlement, her eyes drifted over the twi'lek's clothing. And dressed the way you are now must mean only one thing, she narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched the red-skinned twi'lek. You're a Sith! Arruna returned one of her training sabers to its holster on her hip, but she kept the other in her hand. As for my form, I can't see why you should care, Arruna remained where she was as she kept her eyes on the Sith Acolyte. She hadn't encountered a Sith or any kind before, so she had no idea what kind of risk Allura may have posed to her. My form depends on whether I'm using one or two sabers. If I were to use one, I would go with a number of different styles. I do enjoy using Ataru, Soresu and I like using Djem So, the other variation of Shien. Arruna took her eyes off Allura for a moment, and she took the time to carefully scan her surroundings. She may not have encountered a Sith before, but she knew of the underhanded tactics they would often use in battle. Jar'Kai is one style I will use in combination with others when I'm wielding two sabers, but I don't know why I'm telling you this as I imagine you and your Sith friends you've got hiding around here are only going to use it to your advantage, she turned in a slow full circle, taking in just about everything around her. So where are they? Where are your Sith partners hiding? And why can I not sense them? She turned back around to face Allura. Why could I not sense you ? Arruna fixed her sights on the red-skinned twi'lek before she took up more of a defensive stance. So, what's the plan Sith scum? You distract me and then your friends come out and attack me from all angles? That is what you Sith normally do, right?
