Of Monks and Sages [Training of Shebashiris | Aderi Order]

[Midian]

"Alright." Midian sits down and lies back against the tree, laying his head against his hands held up behind him. "So far we've made excellent progress and you have learned to focus and use the Force efficiently. Get into a meditative position and remember the way you infused your body with the Force to spend a prolong period underneath the water. I want you to use those principles to slow down your body's processes. Use your breathing as a mechanism to control the tempo your body follows. Find your center and allow your body to be drawn into the boundary of a deep sleep. By doing this you will be able to recover and heal much more quickly than normal. It will also allow your body to last longer without nourishment." He takes a deep breath and then releases it slowly to demonstrate. Midian closes his eyes and seemingly falls into a deep sleep.

[Taught: Hibernation Trance]

Sheba listened closely and then sat down as well. He closed his eyes and concentrated. He had meditated a lot back on Ord Vaug so he had a lot of experience with it. In time he too fell into a trance, just like Midian...

 

[Midian]

Moments later Midian is still and quiet and then there is a slight whistle of breath. It appears he actually feel asleep.

 

[D.C.]

Sheba woke from his trance and saw Midian, apparantly still in trance. He waited for a few moments and then stood up and moved a little closer to his master.

"Sleeping?" he said to himself. He shook his head and smiled. He decided he was hungry and shook Midian's body, hoping to wake him.

"Master!? I'm hungry!" he said.

 

[Midian]

Midian awakes in shock and out of instinct lets a burst of energy erupt from his palm at his attacker. Even as he releases the blast he realizes he might have made a mistake. He apologizes in advance for any damage it might cause. "Sorry!"

 

[D.C.]

Sheba got hit, but it was not a too powerful strike. He raised an eyebrow and looked at his master. "Uh..." he said. He was a bit confused. His master had really been sleeping and out of a reflex he striked Sheba.

"It's alright. I am very hungry though. Is it ok if we eat now and after that continue the lessons?"

 

[Midian]

"Sure." Midian sighs as he stands. "Follow me." He begins walking to an exit out of the Elemental Gardens that leads into the Athenaeum worshyr. He arrives at the doors to one of the small dining rooms scattered across the complex, opens them, and motions for Sheba to enter ahead of him.

 

[D.C.]

Sheba stepped into the room and looked back at Midian. He did not know where all the food was so he just looked in front of him again and sat down on a chair which stood in the room.

OOC: Let's not RP too long about the lunch XD I just wanted to bring in some realism by going for a quick bite.

 

[Midian]

((OOC: That was my intention as well. I'll wrap it up in my post if there's no objection.))

Midian follows Sheba into the dining room and joins him at a table. A few moments later two server droids bring in a variety of food of which they both eat their share. Midian stands smiling. "Back to business I suppose." He marches out of the room without further comment, expecting Shebashiris to keep up on the way through the hallways leading to the entrance of the Arthenaeum.

 

[D.C.]

Sheba followed after Midian, wondering what was to come next. He had learned much thus far, and he liked this place. He enjoyed his stay here and he was eager to learn more and more.

"What's next?" he asked.

 

[Midian]

Midian had remained silent as Sheba followed him out to the path they had first arrived by. When he was outside the arthenaeum, he turned around to face the Frozian.

Midian grins michieviously. "Now the real fun begins. For this excersise we needed a little bit more space." He holds his arms up indicating the expansive and dense forest of wroshyr trees. "You've learned many techniques that use the Force to modify your body's functions and to enhance your senses. Now it's time for you to learn how to become faster. Use the Force to decrease your reaction time and energize your body. Channel the power into yourself and let it increase your speed both mentally and physically."

Midian looks up as Zeru flies by and drops something from overhead. He catches it and twirls it to a stop at his side making a thump as the base hits the ground. "Look familiar?" He is holding Sheba's staff from earlier, but it has been infused with the Amari crystal. "I've made an upgrade to your staff, as is our custom to carry an Amari infused prop." He hold his index finger under the middle point of the staff and it balances perfectly horizontal. "Much improved. I will give you back your staff but... you have to catch me first." Midian smiles and suddenly jumps away in a blur of motion into the trees.

 

[D.C.]

Shebashiris was very familiar with the Force, after the lessons.

He called upon the Force and after a few moments he could feel Force Speed flowing through him. He ran after his master, faster than he ever did.

Finally, he managed to catch up with his master and he ran next to him.
