Two weeks ago Jurian had dueled with Master Seros and had actually beaten him. Jurian a young padawan had defeated the Battlemaster of the Jedi Order in combat. After his battle he was instructed to learn about a mysterious combat form called Juyo, This was not just another training mission however. He was to learn it and master it, a technique that hasn't been mastered in centuries. Today he was seeing his master off as he left for an important mission, but was leaving his padawan behind. The Master had received intel that the Grand Champion of the Great Hunt was on **** and was going to apprehend him. "Master are you sure you don't want my help on this?" Jurian asked his instructor one final time and he received the answer he knew he would receive. "No my young friend, I shall complete this mission alone. You are to begin your studies in the archives, the Council has been informed of your special training. When you have complete mastery of Juyo, they will grant you the rank of Knight and you will ascend to a full member of the Order." Master Seros explained with a calm and relaxed expression. "But Master how will they know if I have completed my training. There is no test for mastery of an extinct form." Jurian said expressing his concern. "You and you alone will know when you have achieved mastery of Juyo. There will be no test, the Force will reveal to you when you have completed your training, and you will in turn inform the Council. The rest of your training lays on your own shoulders now. I have taught you all I can. May the Force be with you." His master finished with the traditional signalling that the conversation was over. "Thank you master, and May the Force be with you as well."

After watching his Masters ship fly off into the distance Jurian made his way to the temple archives. He had been to the archives before while studying with his master but today he went deeper than he has ever been before and he had a feeling that he would reach depths that the greatest Jedi archaeologists haven't visited. As he walks around there were ancient decayed droids and other machines all around him, he was not bothered by the darkness that would have hindered many Jedi's advancement into the depths of the archives thanks to his Miralukan Force sense. Suddenly an ancient simulcron lights up, the being portrayed had plain, generic features and wore simple cream colored robes. "How may I serve you, noble Jedi" it asks him. "I seek the any and all holocrons relating to light saber combat and techniques." Jurian stated to the simulated being. "I am sorry but as you can see the archives here are quite run down and decayed. I cannot locate the individual holocrons you requested. But I can tell you that they were once stored in the databanks adjacent to the old training arena. I can lead you there if you wish." The simulcron responded. "Good, now we're getting somewhere. Lead the way." The young Jedi responded. The Simulcron led him until they were deep in the ancient temple. "This is the training arena. The databanks are on the other side of the arena. This is as far as I can lead you, if you need any further assistance please do not hesitate to call me." The recording stated as it faded away. "Well I guess I'll go check the databanks." Jurian said to himself. He began to walk across the arena but he stopped in the middle and opened himself up to the Force. He was in awe at the power he felt here, the resonant Force energy in the arena was overwhelming, Jurian was wary of opening himself to its secrets quite yet and he continued on his way to the databanks.

He immediately began searching for information about Juyo but the ancient databanks were difficult to navigate. He was able to access training simulcrons for forms one through six, but he could not find one for Juyo. After two hours of searching he found a file describing what Juyo was, which was more than he found in the Order's databanks. The file had the following to say about Juyo:

Juyo is the most vicious form of lightsaber combat, and was said to be filled with both fury and malignant grace. The form was given the title of the most difficult and demanding form in all of saber combat. Skilled combatants with Juyo are said to be able to eviscerate a lone enemy. The form is both chaotic and erratic, with a heavy focus on offense. Juyo forces the combatant to fight under the guidance of controlled passion. Juyo is characterized by bold, direct motions, making it more open and kinetic than Djem So, but less kinetic than Ataru. One of Juyo's greatest strengths in combat is its inherent unpredictability, leaving the opponent unable to adequately predict the practitioners actions. Juyo requires a deep emotional link and immense focus to utilize successfully, inexperienced Jedi are cautioned not to attempt to learn this form until they have received permission from the Battlemaster himself.


After reading the document Jurian felt he had learned a lot. Although he had not learned anything about how to utilize Juyo, he had learned the basic characteristics of the form and was ready to begin communing with the Force in an attempt to tap in to old knowledge. But that would have to wait until tomorrow as it was getting late and Jurian was supposed to meet his sister for dinner and meditation. When Jurian told Alara about his assignment from Master Seros, she had promised to help him meditate, as it communing with and utilizing the Force for anything but combat was difficult for him. He left the depths of the old temple archives and made his way back to the modern temple. Upon reaching his sister's quarters he noticed she wasn't there, remembering that she had a meeting with Master Shan, Jurian went to her study and waited outside for his sister. Standing in the hallway outside Master Shan's office Jurian couldn't help but notice his sister's overwhelming presence in the Force, he made a mental note to tell her about the massive presence he felt in the old training arena.
