Thread: Opposites Attract (Riven & MysticSparxman)

Arruna t'arcona was a relatively young Twi'lek, but she was better known as Arruna to her family, close friends and those she had come to work with. Of course Arruna didn't really have many close friends, and she hadn't seen her family for longer than she cared to remember. The fact she hadn't seen her family in so long was her choice, but in a way, it also wasn't her choice. See, Arruna had been chosen to join the Jedi. Arruna was one of only a few force-sensitive aliens who had been chosen to become a Jedi. She was also one of only a few Twi'lek to be picked to join the ranks of the Jedi. The young twi'lek was overjoyed when she was chosen to join the Jedi. However, she did find it difficult saying goodbye to her family. At the same time though, she also knew it was something that she had to do. After all, she had always admired the Jedi and everything they stood for. The young twi'lek was quite unprepared for the tough training that followed. Despite the fact she was unprepared for it, she put all of her effort into the training that she was required to go through. Arruna stuck by her mentor as she was put through her paces. Sure, there may have been times when she felt like giving up, but those times were far and few between. She wanted to become a Jedi so badly that she stuck with the training. Her mentor did her best to reassure her that she would be able to get through the training, and that she had a great future as a Jedi Knight in front of her. Training to become a Jedi was going to be one of the toughest things that Arruna was ever likely to do. Of course, not only did she have the physical training that she needed to do, but there was also the mental side of it too. Being a force-sensitive being, learning to use the force wasn't as easy as she had thought it would be. She also did her best to learn the ways and rules of the Jedi. Now, unlike the majority of the Jedi, Arruna was trained to wield two lightsabres at the same time. Of course these were two individual lightsabres, and nothing like the twin lightsabres the Sith known as Darth Maul once possessed. It was made all the easier for the young twi'lek considering her mentor also fought with two lightsabres. The lightsabres that Arruna wielded also happened to match the color of her blue skin. Despite the fact she had been training for months, she was still improving in almost every way when it came to handling her double lightsabres. Just like every other Jedi Padawan under training, Arruna also had to forge her own lightsabre. The only difference being, she didn't forge one lightsabre. Since she was trained to wield two, she ended up forging two lightsabres after her master took her to the Jedi world of Illum. Just like everything else she had been through, it wasn't very easy forging her own lightsabres, but she managed to get it done nonetheless. The young Twi'lek felt incredibly proud of herself when she had successfully managed to forge her own lightsabres, and her master was just as proud of her too. Arruna had already gone before the Jedi Council when she was first taken under the wing of her master. She had already pledged her allegience to the Jedi Order, and she was determined to do everything it took to become a Jedi Knight, no matter how long it took. Arruna never really strayed far from her master, going pretty much everywhere with her master. There were one or two occasions when she couldn't go with her master. The only times that ever happened was when her master was called in to see the Jedi Council. Not that Arruna was far away. She simply remained outside the Council's chambers until her master emerged. She would accompany her master on any business that her master had to tend to. She really did seem to learn quite a bit on her travels with her master. It was around nine months into her training when Arruna's master took her to the Jedi Temple on the planet of Tython. The blue skinned Twi'lek had never been here before. Her master simply told her that she was there to meditate at the temple and also to further her training. It was only after arriving on that planet that Arruna was able to discover the small Twi'lek settlement on Tython. The thought of being able to see other twi'leks was too much for her, and Arruna just about managed to contain herself when she visited the twi'lek settlement with her master. It did help that the Jedi Temple was located in the same vicinity as the Twi'lek settlement. It meant that Arruna could not only train, but she could also visit the settlement too. Arruna made sure that she didn't completely forget about her training and meditation. She split her time between training and meditating, and also visiting the Twi'lek settlement so she could spend time with the Twi'lek refugees. Luckily for Arruna, her master didn't have any plans to leave Tython immediately, so Arruna intended to make the most of her time on the planet. The Twi'lek and her master had been on Tython for approximately four days and neither the Padawan or Jedi Master had any idea that there was a Sith Acolyte on the planet with them. It was likely that if her master had picked up on the Sith Acolyte, her master most likely would have taken her and gone off in search of the Sith Acolyte in the hopes of defeating the Acolyte and getting them off the planet. In her time as a Jedi Padawan, Arruna had never really encountered the Sith. Sure, she would have been able to sense a Sith through the Force. Her master had been teaching her how to use the Force to sense the presence of the Sith, and it was one of the things that Arruna had been wokring on trying to improve. However, even her master was unable to sense a Sith in possession of a Sith holocron. Having just come from the twi'lek settlement, Arruna had decided that it was time she did some training. Like all Jedi Padawan, she wore a brown tunic with matching brown, figure hugging pants that clung to her legs almost like a second skin. She also had on the robe that Jedi usually wore, a brown leather utility belt and one lightsabre hung on each hip. The brown boots completed her outfit. One brain taillekku hung over the back of each shoulder, and between them, she had some blue and silver beads. She stood at a height of 5'10 and like most Twi'lek females, she was incredibly attractive with a slim yet curvy figure and a reasonbly large 36C bust. She had come to train just on the outskirts of the Jedi Temple. It was a small wooded area where she had come to train. Arruna made her way there slowly, taking in the scenery around her. It took her no more than ten minutes to get there, and once she was there, she stepped into an opening and let her robe slide slowly off her shoulders. As her robe hit the floor, she pulled her two lightsabres off her hips, and once again, she began her training. As her training got underway, she began to pay less and less attention to her surroundings as she focused more on her training....
