Feeling himself suddenly grabbed midair and upside down, Galen struggled to gain his freedom before his eyes landed on Mara as he was spun around. Part of him just wanted to give in and let her hold him until his rage quieted but his emotions were still a tumultuous temptest in his mind and heart. And the song of the Dark side was there, beckoning to him like a lover. Like Gaia. He could keep her safe if he gave in...right?
It was a risk he was tempted to take. He closed his eyes and focused before he summoned a ball of lightning into his hand and hurling it at Mara as she spun him, adding in a Push and Pull to distract her so he could go free. To add to the distraction, he released his saber from his hand and directed it at her with his mind.
In spite of the aggression in his attacks, they were not fully tainted with the Dark side. Only it's faint presence per usual since he had started training with Mara would be felt. But oh how he wanted to give in to end this and chase after Moriarty's men. But Mara was his friend, his teacher. He didn't want to kill her or hurt her.
