[Kerra has little frame of reference for that specific word. Not because it's a foreign concept, but because it's meaningless to a warrior monk that sees the fabric of life itself whenever she blinks too hard. She purses her lips, squeezing Mordred's hand before she speaks and nods.]

I am a Jedi. Jedi...are people who can sense the Force. Which...I guess you could think of like mana, but that's not quite accurate.

The Force is an energy that surrounds us all, and comes from us. It binds us together in a luminous sea.

[She raises her free hand, drawing in a deep breath and creating a ball of light.]

It's not magic. Not like a magician or anything. It just...is...something that's a part of all of us. Every single organic thing in the universe is a part of the Force, and people like me are able to sense and manipulate it. And in you, I don't feel the same thing that I do in an ordinary human being. You're undeniably part human, but your essence is different.

You are right that I learned it at the academy, but you aren't trained to be able to sense the Force, you're born with the ability and the academy teaches you control.
