Once their ship was secured, Lamya led them into the Old District of the planet. Though it was renowned for it's crime, it was the only place where they would be able to go undetected. Though with the presence of Black Sun, they were going to have to be extra careful. Lamya luckily had enough credits on her to buy a shelter intended merely for storage but they were going to use it as a place to train and also to live. She led both her padawans into the enormous shelter which was large enough to fit a decent sized transport.

"I'm sorry we could not afford first class.... There are sheets over there that we can use for sleeping, in time we guy acquire more things to make living here comfortable, but it will keep us safe.... Out of the way, and also provide a great place for you to train...." She said as she voice echoed through the area.

There were large containers still in the shelter, left over from it's previous owner, but Lamya knew it could prove useful in training.

Alia folded her arms as she looked, "This is it?....... Oh well, could be worse.... As you said Master, once we 'acquire' more things, could be alright.... But it's not so user friendly is it...." She said with her nose upturned slightly. She had hoped for more from the planet of Coruscant.

Lamya smiled a little, "Well, I must go and get some supplies, you would both best secure the area..... Check all of the vents.... Make sure that this will be a safe haven for us..... Also, focus on some meditation training....." She said before she left.

"Well Zen, what do you think of our new 'home'?" She laughed.

"its suitable for our needs, besides we may not even be hear that long, he looked at some electrical outputs, if we had the parts i could put a screen there and get us something to watch in our spare time, or even a heater".

He wondered around the room, looking at the Vents and the one window
and the door, he decided he would close all the vents but the rear one, that way no one could really hear anything, then black out the window, there so much crime here people would just assume he was a smuggler, as for the door, he would install a second lock system that only he and his fellow Jedi would know of.

"I can get this place secure in no time" he said, "But i'll have to wait for Master Lamya".
He took one last look at the rear vent and then turned back to Alia.

"Shall we train?" He smiled, "you've done some of this before, could you show me how to do it? before i just made my self comfortable".

"Alright...." She grinned, "Let us practice mind reading..... It's the most fun...... And then onto Mind tricks.... I've found them the most useful myself..... Especially when I had to fend for myself after what happened at....... Well, you know what I mean..." She said as she was reminded of worse days, "I'm going to think of....... 5 planets...... Then 10 random things.... You tell me what they are.... And why you think I am thinking of them...." She grinned in a funny manner.

He sat on the ground and concentrated extremely hard on her thoughts, The first planet that came to his mind was, "Coruscant, because we are here and you enjoy it. Dantooine, its where we met. Tatooine, you.... you found a small cave.... it had, umm... Crystals, it had crystals within it. Geonosis." He had to think extremely hard, "Your... your master used to, um, tell you tales of the battle of Geonosis, the last planet is- its...... Mon Calamari, it was where you acquired your lightsaber... and where your master was killed.....". He took a huge breath.

He took a quick break to let her think of the 10 items, if she was upset by the memories of the past, she barely showed it.

Images came into his mind, he did not realize he had been concentrating so hard, the images came to him so quick he almost fell on his back, "A lightsaber, obvious reasons. Our ship.... again, pretty obvious. A Remote, i believe the jedi used them to train ?.... A... ugh..." He was becoming tired, this was his first time, it drained him quickly, "i want to continue.. bu- but, i feel weak, li-like ive used to much energ..." he nearly collapsed but kept himself up.
"I need to rest" he said, walking away in embarrassment, he sat in a corner and meditated.

She watched to him, her face had an unusual expression, "Well Zen, although I hate to admit it..... You did pretty damn well......"

Though she was always cocky, she found herself trying to be helpful for a change, as she worried why he was suddenly so drained of his strength.

"Are you alright?...... What is it?....." She asked as she looked to him.

"I am fine" He said, his eyes where still closed but he smiled at her any way, "I think it was just to much using the force on my first try, i just need to get used to it". He said, That must be why the old Jedi taught padawans form such a young age, they are prepared their hole life. he thought.

"I felt a sudden dip in the force, it was like a fluctuation". He began to worry... Lamya, could something be wrong with her, maybe he had even sensed the presence of the evil emperor.

He continued to meditate, silently trying to use the force to sense his mentor...

"You seem a little on edge...... What's wrong with you?...... Are you ill? Cause if you are, I'm useless at that kind of stuff! So you'll need to tell me what to do..." She said as she sat next to him, "Just take it easy.... You're on the road to becoming a Jedi.... No one's expecting you to go from nothing to Master by next week.... Just take it at your own pace...... You've already learned more in such a short time..... More than I learned in a year when I was a Youngling......"

He suddenly felt a sense of care for Alia, not to much, he was a Jedi now, he could not love, but she obviously cared enough to be looking out for him, he felt good to have friends, specially Jedi friends.

"Thanks you, very much" He said to her, again smiling, a smile that quickly went, "It was odd, Alia, Im confused, i felt... i felt like something was happening, i do not know how to explain it, i thought it could be something bad, im not sure though, i am worried for Lamya though, i just felt... Odd, a presence, i can't explain".

Alia seemed to loose her cocky expression that she usually carried and looked instead concerned, "Are you well enough to leave here? I know Lamya said we should not venture out of this place but...... Well, what if we went to make sure everything was alright..... We can venture into the city more, see what we can find.... We'll secure this place before we leave..... Together we'll be alright I think......" She said smiling a little as she stood up.

"Im well" Zen said, "I was never ill, i am just worried, i agree with you, though we are going to have to be extra careful, lots of stormtroopers and what not".

He stood and smiled a little, "Where to?", he opened up his tool kit and pulled out the lightsaber, igniting, he looked at the green beam, "im ready" He grinned, he then deactivated it and placed it back in his tool kit.

"After you"

After securing the hold, they headed out into the cities,

"I'm starting to have a bad feeling about this..... Where is Lamya...... I never thought she'd be gone this long......." She said as she carefully hid her lightsaber beneath her robes, "I always manage to get myself into these situations...... I could swear there's a black cloud following me...... So where to....... Which way should we look?" She said as she placed her hands on her hips as she waited for a response.

He took serious thought, he could not think, he was panicking, he breathed slowly to calm himself, then turned to Alia, "Well master Lamya mentioned a few places, she was very interested in the Jedi temple, but is that a wise place to go?".

He scratched his head, "we could head any where and still not find her, for all we know she is on her way back" He took out the lightsaber, Carefully, from his tool it and hid it within his robes, it would be quicker to acquire if needed, "I think we should check some places out, she said about supplies maybe we should head to a market place or something like that nearby. we could also find some interesting items".

"Up to you though", he said, scratching his head again, he did it allot when confused.

"Sounds good to me......" She grinned.

They headed further into the city, finding themselves amongst merchants from across the galaxy. This was a dangerous place to be in, with the crowded streets making it difficult to see whether Imperial stormtroopers were on the way or not, and even just with the concern of local crime on their shoulders.

"Don't you dare leave my side okay!" She said a little concerned, though trying to cover up her worries with a serious tone as though she were merely being bossy.

After a long search, it was clear that Lamya was no where to be found, and because they had to do their best to keep their identities hidden, they were not able to ask the locals if they had seen her.

"This isn't right.... She should be back by now.... And she would have to walk right past here to get back to where we are staying..... Perhaps...... Perhaps what you said earlier is right..... About the..... Jedi Temple...." She said the last words quietly so that no one would hear, "But it will be crawling with stormtroopers..... Surely she would not be that foolish......"

He took her to the side of of the crowds and spoke quietly, "She is a powerful Jedi, she could use mind tricks on them, but you are still right, for all we know there could be some one of the dark side here to, Lamya is our master we should try to protect her, but we are not ready for such a large tas-" He felt a sinking feeling, a chill, was this a disturbance in the force?, he could see she felt it too.
"A disturbance?" He asked her.

"I don't sense anything...." She said as she looked worried to him, "What is it?..... What do you feel?" She started to panic, she was all too aware that just because she did not sense something did not mean there was not a problem. She looked around to the crowded streets, trying to see if there was someone or something coming towards them. But she saw nothing, so instead looked back to Zen.

"I-its was a chill, a sinking feeling, like a blast of fear, its hard to describe at my level of experience", he clutched the lightsaber under his robes, "I think we should look for her rather than wait, something just tells me to".

He was very confused, he did not think it was wise to go to the Jedi temple, but something was telling him to.
He gripped his lightsaber tighter.

Something touched his mind, he could feel it, a warmth came over him, it was Lamya, he felt anxiety, fear. "Lamya" he said aloud, he hoped Alia had felt it to, "I felt her, i know it was her she touched my mind, but i felt anxiety and fear! we need to go!".
