StarWars Shadows of the past (revising + adding)

Chapter 9

The council of the Republic found that there was a leak in their spy network. Luke's friend who was a code breaker finally broke the imperial code within the computer system, naturally they saw Ulonna as that leak. The council decided not to tell Luke of what was found within the system. They felt that he was too close to her and they wanted her tested, and to catch her in the act, but they didn't quite know how to do it without her knowing about it. So they needed to plan it. They decided to send her to Wayland. They figured that it would give her the perfect opportunity to report back to whom she was reporting to. Yet they still needed to find a crew that they would send to watch her. So the decision was to wait.

Two hours later Ulonna met with Luke in the bio-dome. They were standing in a clearing away from the boardwalk near the lake.

"How are you feeling," he asked. "Are you still upset?"

"No," she said shaking her head. "How are you feeling?" she asked referring to the drink she gave him earlier.

"Oh, fine, energized in fact. I don't know what you gave me, but it worked."

"Good," she said plainly. Luke watched her intently.

"What, was in it?" he asked.

"It's a healing tonic, that pain you were experiencing, it won't come back unless you pull something again."

"Really, what is it? Like bacta," he said answering his own question.

"Kind of, but it's not a chemical. Its herbal, it works with the body's natural chemistry. It heals whatever is causing the pain, not exactly like bacta. When you use bacta you will always have that ritual of pain afterward. With this it will put you right back on your feet."

"Energized," Luke said finishing her sentence.

"Exactly."

"Where did you learn this?" he inquired, but Ulonna hopped to avoid that question. She hesitated.

"From a healer a long time ago." She said standing up right on her hands. She began to concentrate and started to lift stones at her command. Luke knew that she was trying to change the subject. He went along with it.

"Good...... calm," he said as Ulonna lifted each stone into the air. Stone after stone was lifted, until there were, none left to lift. "Now lift me," Luke said, waiting for her power to overtake him. Ulonna did so as she was asked. She lifted him high into the air and over above the lake.

"Ryessa don't you even think," Luke said. He didn't even get all the words out of his mouth before his body plunged helplessly into the lake. Two seconds later his head surfaced, screaming to how cold it was. Ulonna who was over on the shore fell over in laughter dropping everything she had suspended in the air. She rolled over to see Luke wading his way out of the water. She stood up as Luke screamed at her. His anger and frustration came out all at once.

"What were you thinking? This..... What I am training you...... is serious. When are you going to stop these childish games?" She looked away. "Ryessa, look at me. I want to see you're serious side?" he asked trying to get her attention.

"Master this was only in harmless fun."

"Harmless? You didn't even think of what this might do to me. It was like you didn't care. Do you care? Ryessa please look at me." He asked again. Her eyes drew from the brown soil that was under their feet. "You're not even listening! I think it's time for another run." He said in an angry tone.
