Chapter Seven – The Thin Ice Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice Appears under your feet. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind With your fear flowing out behind you As you claw the thin ice. [© Pink Floyd, The Thin Ice] Nathalie sighed. Finally she could take a bath. A long, hot bath. This deal wasn’t bad. She had a place to sleep, she got free food and payed. And Xanatos would teach her the ways of the force. Her eyes glinted ambitiously. With a power like that she could do... anything! Meanwhile Xanatos contemplated if he had made the right decision. The girl was the one from his vision after all. And when he taught her how to control her power the vision would become more likely? But maybe it was the other way around. He damned his rush action. This wasn’t tipically for him. He searched the force for an answer. He couldn’t feel any resistance to him training her. He just had to teach her not to give in into the darkness... yeah right. Because this was sooo simple. “When will my training start?” asked Nathalie. She was freshly showered. Now her beauty came out. It wasn’t ordinary. She had long black hair. Her face was porcelain white, reminding Xanatos of a doll. But it were again her eyes which captured him. Dark Storms. “Right away” he offered. Nathalie blinked. Then she smirked and sat down. “Shoot” she said. Xan closed his eyes. “Alright. I told you the basics” “Yeah, the force is holding the galaxy together. We can rely in her. We can trust her...” “No. We should trust her” Xanatos interrupted the carelessly tossed statement, “The force is our ally. You can’t forget that. Ever. Trust what it is telling you.” “But doesn’t that mean that the force makes our decisions for us?” Nathalie asked. “No. You see you have made your decision already. The force only tells you what to do with it. You just have to listen careful” Nathalie nodded. “So am I going to be a Jedi?” Nathalie wanted to know. Xanatos cringed. “Not exactly. You see... I am no Jedi. I... I was an apprentice. But I abandoned them” he stopped. Did he wanted to know her what exactly he had done? Nathalie waited patiently. She sense this was something important. “I drew my sabre against my master” Xanatos told her quietly, “I let myself be consumed by darkness” “How was it?” Xanatos blinked. He hadn’t expected this reply. He felt like he walked on thin ice. But he asnwered her question. “Well... it was great... at first. I felt like I could do anything. But... that wasn’t true. This was merely an illusion the dark side gave my. False security. In truth I lost myself. I became a tool of the darkside. My will was... not my own anymore” “And that doesn’t happen at the... light side?” Nathalie asked sceptical. “No!” Xanatos said forcefully, “Because the light sie merely guides you. You can still do what you want. You are not blinded by anger or hate – for these things can blind you. Can confuse your judgement” Nathalie nodded understanding. But she looked confused. “Let’s meditate together” Xanatos suggested. “Together? How?” “Just let yourself fall into the force. Don’t think about anything. Yeah, like that...” And the two of them slowly fell into meditation, thereby they formed a conection. A very weak one but a conection nontheless. And to Xanatos it felt rightful. Lyn was nervous. It all had happened so fast! After she had told Zan that she wanted her help the older woman git her into a spaceship and off the planet. Then she explained a lot complicated things, whic Lyn hadn’t understood. And then she had prepared an injectioon. She was going to inject Lyn midi-Chlorianer. The very creatures which were the conection to the force! Zan had warned her that it would be probably painful. And that she didn’t know if the experiment would be a success. But Lyn was too dazed to pay attention. And now she sat on a chair. Her wrists and ankles were bound. “I’m going to give you two injections. The one is a painkiller and will also allow your blood to bind with the midi-chlorians. The second contains the midi-chlorians. Ready?” Lyn nodded although she wasn’t. But she wouldn’t back out now. Zan smiled and gave her the two shots. First Lyn didn’t feel anything. But then the pain was so overwhelming that she cried out. Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
