Joining the Family, Kaiden's Shade Training

[Octavian Black]

A small shuttle touched down on Thyferra. Aboard the shuttle was the pilot, passenger, and an unknown presence. That unknown presence happened to be Kaiden Siris. A stowaway, trying to find his way to Thyferra to become a member of the Shade. Once the shuttle opened the exiting and loading ramp the pilot and passenger made their way out. This was the best time for Kaiden to exit the shuttle. It was dark, the shadows well concealed Kaiden. Once he was clear of the pilot and passenger Kaiden could breathe regularly again.

Whenever Kaiden needy to be stealthy he slowed his breathing. He didn't want the faint sound of a heartbeat give him away. It was like he was a walking corpse among the shadows. Not far from where they touched down at Kaiden remembered seeing a temple of some sort. He thought to himself, "That must be where the Shade is." He set out on the path towards the temple.

Once arriving at the temple Kaiden took the view of the temple in. Granted it was dark and he couldn't see anything, he still stood there. Not knowing what to do next.

Aleyn had felt his presence, she didn't know who he was, but she could tell where he had come from. She had asked Cain if she could train him, because she knew that their pasts were similar. She waited now.

She saw him coming, he wasn't hard to find...even in the dark. She stood in his way about fifty feet from where he stopped. Her blue cloaked swirled around her in the wind, her hood covering her face. Her lightsaber resting in her right hand, ready to ignite at a moments notice.

She waited for him to approach.

Kaiden then noticed a figure appear at the temple entrance. He couldn't tell if this species was male or female. Only that the mysterious person was waiting for Kaiden. He approached the figure with caution. Not knowing what to expect. Once he thought he was close enough he spoke.

"My name is Kaiden. I come from Coruscant to seek training from a group called the Shade."

Kaiden said. He then stood firm waiting for the person to respond. Not knowing his surroundings or the mysterious figure he was very alert and cautious. If something was going to happen, Kaiden would be aware.

 

[Emma Lou]

"Why?"

Her voice was sweet, but a hard. She used the Force to make her voice carry a little farther then it normally would.

 

[Octavian Black]

From the figures response Kaiden could tell it was a female. However, he didn't loosen up. She is a Shade. He was still an Outsider to the Shade.

"Because I have no family. I'm an outsider to this world. I have no true belonging. I would try and join the Jedi Order. But the "Hero" type does not fit me. So I have come here in hopes to join a new family, the Shade."

Kaiden replied. He didn't know how she'd take his response.

 

[Emma Lou]

Aleyn smiled. She understood exactly why he had come here.

"You are not alone in looking for a family. I, too, came here when I had no one else and that is why I have asked to be your master"

She stepped forward and dropped her hood. Even though it was dark the moon shined off her long black hair and her sharp sephi features.

"I am Master Aleyn Julius and I extend a welcome from the Shade Order"

 

[Octavian Black]

"Nice to meet you Master Aleyn Julius. It will be a great honor to be your apprentice. I will not disappoint you, Master."

Kaiden said as he bowed. He then stood erect and stared into the eyes of Aleyn. Trying to see if her eyes would give anything away about her. He couldn't read her well because he wasn't that in tuned with the Force. Kaiden stood there. Wondering what they would do next.

 

[Emma Lou]

"I do not think you will"

She turned and started to walk back toward the enclave. Once inside she showed him to his room.

"Sleep well for we begin training tomorrow. Your first task will be to find the right training room and be there on time"

With that she turned and left him. Tomorrow would be interesting.

 

[Octavian Black]

"Yes Master."

Kaiden replied. He was hoping he would be able to find the training room on time. He didn't want to be late on the very first day of his training. How would that sit with his new Master? Kaiden was still awake so he decided to meditate. He went to the center of the room, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes. He then began to think about nothing.

While he was meditating Kaiden's body slowly but surely began to lift off the ground. He wasn't new to this experience. He had made himself levitate before. The first time it happened it caught him off guard. He didn't know what was happening. That's how he knew he was Force sensitive.

 

[Octavian Black]

Alright. There hasn't been a post in here in nine days by the trainer. I am pulling my character from this.

 

[Emma Lou]

Alright. There hasn't been a post in here in nine days by the trainer. I am pulling my character from this.

Go ahead if you want, but I am in college and in a play that just finished today so I am going to start being active again, but your choice...I don't care.

The next morning, Aleyn sat in the training room, waiting for Kaiden. She was very eager to start his training as soon as he showed up. It was strange that someone else had lived the same life she had and had ended up at the front door of the Shade Order.

Now, she waited.

 

[Octavian Black]

When Kaiden finally found the training room he saw his Master sitting down waiting for him. "Sorry if I kept you waiting," Kaiden said as he entered the room, "I've never been in this place so its hard to find a place on time." He said as he sat down across from Aleyn. "So where do we begin?" Kaiden asked with a smile.

 

[Emma Lou]

Aleyn smiled back.

"First, I want you tell me what the Force is"
