The ominous feeling that gripped the<em>Lucid Valkyrie</em>was extremely tangible to Kawan.  He sat nearly motionless on his cot, the one closest to the hold's transparisteel viewport, trying again and again to meditate.  It wasn't going well.<br/><br/>Control had never come easy to the young Mirialan.  Even now, every time he attempted meditation, he only sensed the overwhelming foreboding.  It wasn't coming from within him, he was certain of that, so yet again he was failing utterly.  It was intensely frustrating.  Kawan shrugged it off as he always had, finally moving from his sitting position to lie back and stare out at the blue-white glow of hyperspace.<br/><br/>Kawan shifted and huffed as he lay there.  Once he had sensed the ominous shadow descending on them, he couldn't seem to let it go.  The more he tried to clear his mind, the more thoroughly it gripped him.  It was making it rather difficult to relax.  Briefly, he wondered if he should report it to their commander, Mistress Aurelia...<em>Surely she is aware,</em>he thought to himself.  But, she wasn't exactly known for her sense.  Her abilities seemed to be entirely control-based.<br/><br/>Kawan would have loved to be apprenticed to her.  After all, if anyone could teach him control, it was her.  Aurelia's flesh manipulation powers were astounding, and she was rumored among the students to be more talented in the craft than any other recorded Sith.  Sadly, her thoughts and personality were much the same as her powers - focused inward.  She didn't seem to care about students or apprentices or anything beyond improving herself.  Kawan sighed.<em>Such a shame.</em><br/><br/>And still the feeling held him tight... The more still Kawan was, the more it seeped into his bones and his mind.  He stood suddenly, unable to take it any longer, and looked around.  There had to be some way of passing the time.  Glancing toward the other students in the hold, he noticed a male fondling his lightsaber as though it were... well, something else.  Kawan scoffed silently.<br/><br/>There was another, a female.  He could feel the anger rolling off of her in waves, but it was restrained.  Then suddenly it spiked, only to be brought low again.  Kawan eyed her carefully for a few moments before approaching quietly.  "That is rather impressive... I'm afraid I would have them flying all over the hold if I tried."  Kawan stood over her a bit, offering his hand down to her as he smiled.
