"Master look!" Luna pointed at a ship in the distance "Is it the Jedi?"
Maul looked up at it "I don't believe so" he looked at it harder "It may just be smugglers but we should hurry" he took out a remote and clicked the button, causing their ship to go into camouflage mode "Now come apprentice" he pulled his hood over his head and they hurried over to a temple that lay in ruins
"Now apprentice, we must both work together to use the force to open the doors
"But I don't know how to use the force" she pause a moment before adding "Master"
"That's why we're here, so you can learn. Stretch out your arm and concentrate, use the force, mask it with your anger and you will become a very powerful being in time"
Luna inhaled and stretched out her arm, shutting her eyes and exhaling. A few moments went by before she let out a frustrated growl "Its not working" she said, putting her arm down
"Considerate, let your anger and hate help you"
Luna nodded, inhaling then exhaling, she closed her eyes and stretch out her arm again but this time her mind flashed back to when she was a slave, all the beatings, how they would trip her then laugh, having to serve those people week after week, but most of all, how they took her from her mom without even letting her say goodbye.
Maul was off to the side watching and smiling "Yes that's right, use your anger, let it flow threw you"
The door begin to crack and the temple rumbled. Luna clutched her fist, causing the door to burst, sending rock and debris all over the place, Luna stopped the rocks with the force, causing them to burst into smaller peaces, she feel to her knees and stared at the ground, her breath was shaky.
"I'm impressed apprentice" he walk threw the open door and turn to her "we must keep on if we are to find the center of the temple"
She nodded, her breath still shaky "Yes master" she got up, her legs were wobbly and she felt a little dizzy but she followed him anyway "wh- wh- why are we going to the center of the temple?"
"To improve you powers and for you to build your lightsaber"
They walk in silence until they came to another door "We will lift this together" Maul said stretching out his arm, Luna nodded, she was still a little dizzy but she stretched out her arm and closed her eyes, there was a small humming noise as the door begin to lift. Maul let go of the door when it was halfway open, making her lift the door by herself, Luna's eyes flew open and her other arm shot out, catching the door and lifting it back up, until it was all the way open
"What was that for!" she yelled, but before he could say anything, Luna gasped and covered her mouth "I-I-I'm sorry master, I-" she inhaled sharply "I didn't mean to shout at you" she back away from Maul, expecting to be hit but Maul, without moving said "It's alright apprentice, you did a wonderful job of opening the door and-" he started walking away "You have very impressive instincts, now come along".
Luna followed, shocked at how nice he was, she was determent to became the most powerful Sith ever.
