Chapter 13: Nightmare or Motivation?

Fear is a great motivator

Unexpected help! The curator of the clan in which Santal Sabura studies, Tera Saynube, asked for help from a former student, Master Dooku. He wants him to help the little girl believe in herself and help her overcome her fears. Otherwise, due to the lack of progress, the youngster may be sent to the laggards or sent to the service corps. Despite the skeptical attitude, the native of Serenno gets down to business...

When Master Dooku left, Santal tried to return to meditation. But it didn't work out, the mood was already shot down. The girl after the last words of the former student of Yoda began to get very nervous. My stomach turned cold.

She has to go to the training hall in half an hour. What for? The answer is obvious. Yesterday she told Master Dooku about her problem, and he apparently thought and thought and eventually came up with his own way. On the one hand, Santal was grateful, and on the other, she was scared.

And why did she tell him only yesterday? She could have kept silent. Although Master Dooku is a very experienced Jedi, he easily realized that she was not all right. That's why she realized that it was useless to deny it. Even if she didn't say anything, the master would still understand everything, see through her. If Santal had lied, he would have noticed right away and pointed it out. She would be ashamed. But she did well to at least hold back the tears. It's already good. After all, Jedi should be able to control their emotions. Of course, if she had burst into tears, nothing terrible would have happened. But the girl would still feel awkward.

When the time was up, Santal went where she needed to go. With every step she took, she became more and more afraid. She clearly understood what was waiting for her, but it didn't make her feel any better. She will be forced to perform these acrobatic exercises again. And this time you won't be able to shirk. All the attention will be on her. Yes, even if I was in a group... Anyway. Nothing escapes Master Dooku's gaze. At least that's what she was told. And Max once mentioned that he is one of the strictest Jedi, usually requiring full dedication. From everyone. He is also one of the best swordsmen. Along with the masters Yoda, Windu and others.

Suddenly Santal realized that she wanted to go to the toilet. Moreover, the sensations were such that it seems like I want to, but it seems like I can still be patient. She remembered that she was just on her way. The toilet is further away from the training hall down the corridor and to the left. The girl even thought maybe she should go there first? Nothing terrible will happen if she stays late, right? There's nothing like that here.

Thinking whether to go or not to go, Santal did not notice how she reached the training hall. A few seconds later, the white doors slid open. Master Dooku was standing on the threshold. Santal froze in surprise. It was as if he was waiting, smelled and "caught". As a hunter of prey.

— You came. And I was going to follow you.

The girl was scared. Was she too late?

— Come in, — the magister made an inviting gesture, stepping aside.

The daughter of the Jedi took timid steps into the room, which she found a little creepy, but at the same time radiated calm and friendliness. There are only two colors: brown and white. Thanks to the latter, the room has acquired a dual color. Two posters. One has a temple with three spires instead of five because of the angle. On the second is the emblem of the Order (two bird wings and a sword with a six-pointed star). Both are painted with black paint. The first one is on the wall, the second one is on the ceiling right above the doors. Plus the hilts of swords on hooks, which are attached to two parallel straight ones, as if according to a list. And somewhere all the same, and somewhere in the form of an arc. One thing is clear — the creator clearly wanted a beautiful composition. Therefore, for example, in one place there are two pairs of "arcs", two pairs of long straight lines. It turned out beautifully and with taste.
