Jaden had trained from the night to the early hours of the morning trying to improve his use of Form I. Satele was only satisfied when he could perform all the Katas seamlessly, which was when she allowed him to move onto Form II; it wasn't as easy as that however as she told him that anytime they trained lightsaber forms Jaden needed to run through each form he knew before they started on the next one. So if Jaden wanted to train Form V he had to show Satele all the previous forms perfectly otherwise he'd have to train the ones he failed.

"She's a damn taskmaster," he grumbled to himself as he sat down by the fire that had long since gone out. Luckily for Jaden, Satele was no longer present or she'd have a few words to say about his comment. Jaden looked out into the muddy rocky plains outside of the caves and smiled, he found himself involuntarily walking back out into the rain; despite the clouds that covered the sky Jaden could see the orange hue shining through on the horizon. This was the first time he'd seen a sunrise and it was beautiful.

Inside the cave Aurra found herself waking up. Anger immediately flooded her mind as she remembered how Jaden had knocked her out but what followed stopped her anger dead 'What the hell is this,' she thought to herself as she looked down at her body. Ever since she was younger she had been suffering from intense chronic pain; after she was sold to the pirates by the Jedi she had been tortured and subjected to all manner of vile things. The result of which gave her severe nerve damage; a doctor had told her that her nerve endings had lost the ability to turn off so for years now she was in constant pain no matter what medication she took.

Aurra inspected her body more and saw how her wounds from the crash had been healed as well. For the first time in years, she was not in pain, she sat there not sure what to do; never in her wildest dreams did she expect something like this to ever happen. But the question that plagued her mind the most was how.

Aurra stood up and marched towards the mouth of the cave where Jaden was standing taking in the sights "What did you do to me!" She shouted at him, while she couldn't say she was angry her emotions were overwhelming her —and anger was a part of it.

"Good morning to you too," Jaden said as he rolled his eyes. Aurra growled and reached out for him only to get a mild shock; she had forgotten about the damn collar around her neck. Stepping back she glared at Jaden who was still trying to enjoy the sunrise "I was practising my healing abilities and so I used you as a test subject," he said bluntly.

"You force healed me?" She asked

Jaden nodded "I didn't think you'd mind, though at the time I couldn't exactly ask you," he said before going back to watching the sunrise.

Aurra however was thinking deeply about what he had told her 'I went to the Jedi temple before I became an assassin, my master was one of the best healers in the order and she told me she wouldn't be able to deal me, she said the control needed to fix all of your nerves was beyond possible.'

How did this no-name Jedi do it if a Master of the healing arts could not? Something didn't make sense, he told her that he was using her to practice 'So he hasn't even mastered the healing arts? And yet he was able to heal my condition?' Aurra thought to herself. A piece of the puzzle was missing and she would make sure to find it.

"Thank you..." she said reluctantly, normally she wouldn't have dared say something like that to a slave of the republic but the emotions that were swelling up inside her made her behave a little differently than normal. It had been so long since she was able to wake up and not experience such pain, at times she still as to take medication to send her to sleep.

Jaden turned around at her and looked surprised "What did you say?" He asked, surely he couldn't have heard her right.

"Nothing..." She said before walking back towards the cave.
