The next day came, and both Talcyn and Petro were sitting on the couch as Bell came down.

Petro: Bell can you come here for a moment.

Bell went to the couch feeling curious and somehow unexpected by the request. Talcum then pulled out a card and showed the back part of it.

Petro: tell me what the card is. It's just a little test...we just need to see what it is.

Bell was confused and tried to guess.

Bell: uhh... 10 of diamonds?

Petro looked at the cards and it was 10 of diamonds, talcum picked another card.

Bell: 8 of hearts.

Petro looked and it was the same. They went on and on, as he was guessing the cards correctly.

Petro: well i'll be.

Bell: what is it?

Talcyn: bell what we are going to say may be a shock to you.

Bell looked at them confused.

Petro: Bell you have the force.

Bell: what?

Petro: you are like us, Bell.

Bell was speechless about what they said, and couldn't believe it.

Bell: so what now?

Talcum: now we take you in as our Padawan.

Petro: yes but, the path will be long and hard... are you up for the task?

Bell was hesitant, but as he looked back on his achievements and remembered his goal he then nodded at the two Jedi knights.

Bell: i will... i want to be strong.

Petro: okay we'll start with light training by opening yourself to the force.

When they were outside, the padawan joined them and sat down on the ground.

Roni: nice to see a boy in our ranks.

Toola: what's that supposed to mean?

Petro: hush Padawans...Bell since you are a beginner we shall focus on how you'll be one with the force.

He looked at Bell with a calm expression. Bell then jolted and straightened himself.

Petro: Bell relax... padawans what is the force?

Padawans: the force connects us, surrounds us, and binds us together.

Petro: yes and how does one be connected to the force?

Padawans: we must be open to it.

Petro: good, Now Bell...for this exercise i want you to close your eyes and relax.

Bell followed the master's advice and closed his eyes and focused around him. But it was not working and sighed.

Bell: it's not working, i don't what I'm doing.

Petro: it's okay to be frustrated over something, but the force is something you must reach out to. But in order to do that, you must be willing to let it reach you. Again, but this time try to let yourself go.

Bell was hesitant and somehow distraught by the failures of his trial, when he did it once more, he closed his eyes and breathed. As he was doing it, he felt the breeze swift over him, the sounds of the city ring in his ear, the smell of the food of the town. Then within him sparked a burst of energy within his soul, as he was meditating, a few rocks and himself then levitated of the ground. The padawans and the masters were contented by his achievement, that when he opened his eyes he was surprised to see himself be 3 feet off the ground. But it ended shortly when he landed on his bottom.

Bell: aghh!

Petro: (Winced) ohhh...

Padawans: ouch.

Petro: well you did it.

Bell: really?

Petro: now it's time for some more exercises.

Then both bell and Petro then learned the ways of the force from lifting things, reading minds, and using force attacks. Bell learned fast which allowed him to be in the same position as the padawans. From time to time, Bell learned how to use the Force. Now that he was ready for the next step, Talcyn used this opportunity to teach Bell how to use a lightsaber.

Next day

Bell and Talcyn were in the field when they were face to face with wooden sabers.

 Bell was reluctant when he was using only one saber, Talcyn noticed how he was feeling uneasy

 Bell was reluctant when he was using only one saber, Talcyn noticed how he was feeling uneasy.

Talcyn: is there something wrong Bell?

Bell: well it's just I'm more comfortable with using daggers.

Talcyn: well you need to be used to how it is, and besides, i wanted to see how good you are with a sword.

Then Talcyn then charged Bell, head-on. Bell quickly reacted and dodged away from her, Talcyn turned quickly and swiped his back foot causing him to fall.

Talcyn: reaction time is good but is mindful of your surroundings. We Jedi use the Force to sense any attacks.

Bell: okay I'll keep that in mind.

Then again, bell and Talcyn then sparred again, and again only for Bell to fall on his bottom. After a short spar, they went back inside for dinner. Bell was in pain from all the beatdowns he had suffered, the other were concerned about how the training was affecting him. He struggled on lifting a spoon with his aching bones and but he was feeling uncomfortable.

Bell: in his mind* man this is killing me!

Next day

The two did some forms and Bell got a gist of the forms. When he was familiar with the forms and the sequence, he was then given a lightsaber to be familiar with how it felt.

Talcyn: now you'll be doing it with a real saber... first ignite the blade.

Bell pressed the button and a ray of light then beamed up into a sword. He was shocked to see it happen, when Mikoto went out she saw the blade and was surprised.

Bell: Woah, it's light.

Talcyn: yes, energy flows through the crystal creating a plasma stream of light that is fatal to humans, with proper training you will get the hang of it... now remember the forms i taught you.

Bell nodded and began ready position.

Talcyn: alright... 1...2...3...4...5...6...7

Bell then followed the forms in such a fluid movement, he managed to pick up the pace as he felt the power of the saber in his hands.

Talcyn: faster...1..2..3..4..5..6..7. Again... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Bell then sped up in a flash and managed to memorize the whole sequence. Then a thought he then did a little flip induced with the forms making Talcyn amazed.

Talcyn: well...that was... good. You definitely are a natural.

Bell: thanks.

Talcyn: about we do some sparring lessons.

Bell's eyes widen as he knew it was going to be a painful experience.

Bell: Gulp*
