            shut  up.    *  leave  it  to  ren  to  pull  an  "i  told  you  so"  at  a  time  like  this.  rey  clenched  her  teeth  &  exhaled  sharply  through  the  pain.  the  midnight  silk  of  her  gown  hid  the  blood  well,  but  she  knew  the  full  extent  of  her  injury.  *

            " i  think  so! "  the  young  jedi  concealed  her  doubt  with  a  bright  smile.  strong  as  she  was  with  the  force,  rey  had  yet  to  develop  full  trust  in  her  abilities.  it  was  true  that  she'd  made  huge  steps  with  her  self  confidence,  but  there  was  still  an  immense  fear  hidden  deep  below  the  surface,  the  type  of  fear  she  couldn't  bring  herself  to  speak  about  even  with  CAL.
            
            the  same  terrible  nightmare  haunted  rey  every  few  nights,  waking  her  with  gasping  breaths  and  a  cold  sweat.  pitch  black  robes,  deathly  pale  skin,  razor  sharp  teeth,  and  eyes  like  glowing  crimson  embers...  it  was  HER,  but  not  her.  if  this  vision  was  a  glimpse  into  rey's  future,  and  she  desperately  hoped  it  wasn't,  what  if  she  turned  on  kestis  someday?  what  if  all  this  training,  all  this  patience,  all  this  sacrifice,  meant  nothing  in  the  end?  rey  couldn't  stand  to  think  of  it.

"  great   job  .   ready   to   switch   things   up  ?  "    he   wondered  ,   noting   how   accustomed   she   had   become   to   the   progam  .   @quarterstaffs

            rey  lifted  her  chin  and  adjusted  her  grip  on  the  lightsaber,  giving  kestis  a  quick  nod.  learning  from  multiple  jedi  offered  rey  a  clear  advantage  ─  kestis's  fighting  style  differed  greatly  from  skywalker's,  and  as  a  result,  rey  possessed  a  deeper  understanding.  it  wasn't  as  simple  as  hitting  things  with  a  glowing  stick,  there  were  techniques,  styles,  disciplines.
            
            the  training  droid  fired  its  first  laser,  and  rey  was  READY.  she  lunged  forward,  swinging  her  saber  to  meet  the  programmed  series  of  blasts.  the  girl  still  failed  to  understand  exactly  why  a  choreographed  routine  would  aid  her  in  battle  against  a  less  predictable  opponent,  but  she  trusted  kestis.  what  other  choice  did  she  have?
