Here she had an opportunity to both show her progress to Miera, and to show off to the new arrivals.  Adrial focused on the rock which had been pointed out to her and concentrated.  The stone was not very large, being roughly twenty five kilograms at the most.  It rose off of the ground slowly, and then floated over towards Adrial at the speed of a brisk walk to settle down on the ground in front of her.  Miera smiled approvingly at her."Adrial has been training for eleven years.  Normally we would start the training at around the age of four or five years, but she came to us late.  Her skill is representative of her time spent training, not her age.  Now, observe your ship." Miera waited until Kia was looking at her ship, and then concentrated on theDawnsprinter.  The massive Corellian Transport was still, and then suddenly, it shot up into the air at incredible speed.  It rose above the wall surrounding the settlement, and then sped around the perimeter at more than one hundred twenty kilometers per hour before coming back to rest right where it had been sitting a moment before.Miera observed the shocked and slightly annoyed espression on Kia's face.  "I have been training in the use of the force for approximately forty eight years.  The ability to move physical objects is one of the skills I specialize in.  But there are other, less observable applications."  Although still stunned by the earlier display, Kia is slightly confused.  Miera said she had spent nearly fifty years training in the Force, yet she doesn't look a day older than thirty."So you want to learn how to use your lightsaber properly, do you?"  Arais asked Kia.  "Luckily for you, I was planning on evaluating Jorran's proficiency with his own today.  You might as well observe, perhaps you will learn a thing or two."  Arias stood up and walked to a spot not far from the rest of them, but with a good deal of space to move about.  He took off his cloak and tossed it to Kal, with just a touch of the force helping it get over to him.  "Come on, Jorran.  Let's see just how skilled you are in lightsaber combat."  Arias flicked his wrist, and his double bladed lightsaber shot from its resting place on his back into his right hand, where a single white blade sprang to life with a snap-hiss.</blockquote>
