Rishi sat motionless in the middle of the Temple of Woe and concentrated. She was remembering the lecture she had never had with Trystal. The idea of a full day of classes in memory stuffed into your brain allowing you to learn from it and recall it for later study amazed her.
She had put the Force away and worked on her innate psionic abilities, abilities Jerrod knew she had but never trained her on because he planned on exploiting them when she eventually challenged him to supremacy. Now she was being taught to hone them, to use them.
She found her center again and calmed, unlike her Force abilities these abilities worked backwards, when she hated or was angry her Force based powers were strong, but her innate abilities were worthless. When she was calm her Force powers were weak but her Innate powers were easily focused. Still, she had a lot of work to do.
She could feel the emotions of the men outside in the compound, those guarding the gate. They could only think of drinking and...she blushed. She could not understand this penchant men had for chasing women. She could still remember walking in on Brutin in his office, fully five other people sitting in chairs speaking with him and it had taken her a few moments to realize the girl in his lap, Bastian, was moaning because his hand was up under her dress.
She had sat there stunned as he touched her body and she reacted and in front of everyone as if it were nothing. Only Dpoc seem disturbed by the display and as he stood up to make his leave she found the strength to flee.
She had to shake her head to get that image out of her head. She centered herself again and ran through some exercises. She could not think about how this would add to her power, she would lose control and be take to centering herself. She did that a lot.
But the stress was gone, she no longer had to prove herself, she no longer had to kill Jerrod. Hex had accepted her back with open arms and forgave her for her emotional outburst. She was no longer hell bent on proving that she could overcome and succeed, she just did.
And since Trystal showed up and helped her she didn't just center herself for training. She was centered.
