Training for Dawn.

*This post is closed to everyone except me.*

Dawn takes a deep breath. Holding the book in front of her, she begins to read. Following the first instruction, she takes a deep breath and stretches her leg behind her. Then, standing, she puts her arms behind her and clasps her hands, raising them as far as she could take. Sitting again, she puts her heels together, pressing her nose to the cold floor.

My training was for NOTHING!! She couldn't even dream of being a Jedi if she wasn't flexible.

Standing, she read from the book again. Holding out her hand, she made the mistake of tucking in her thumb when she made a fist. Punching out her hand connected with the wall. There was a loud crack.

"Yow!" Dawn gasped, sucking her thumb until it stopped aching. This time, she placed it outside of her other fingers and punched the wall again. Repeating the process, she continues to punch the wall until there was a rather large dent.

Satisfied, she leaned back and read from the book again. Taking out a pillow, she touched the tips of her finger to her palm. Thrusting the heel of her hand into the pillow, she followed up by raking her nails across it. Doing this again multiple times she eventually split the pillow.

Time to practice acrobatics.

Stretching her muscles, she leaped up and flung out her leg. And yet she only succeeded in losing her balance and falling.

Then the voice drifted to her. It was dark, hissing..., "Keep your eyes locked on something, it's the only way to keep your balance. Fling out your foot to the side to spin."

Dawn started, but decided to try it. Jumping again, she set her eyes on a small pipe on the wall. Flinging out her foot, she completed the turn and landed. "I did it!" she exclaimed. "Thank you."

"Yessssss... let's continue."
