The New Chapter of Kilvaari jol Qaem[Visus_Vaan]

[DhehKappa]

It was with the early start of the day of Selvaris, an inner rim world, that Vizza Mander woke. Looking out of the window of his house in the boundries of the forest, Vizza could the sun rising slowly, mirroring in the waters of the sea, which bathed the nearby beach. Vizza loved this world, it brought him peace, and that had been the reason why he had built this house of his own on the planet -- and later given it as a safehouse for the Shade Order to use at will. The High Voltage, Vizza's personal ship, was docked in opening of the forest. Vizza and his newly proposed Padawan had arrived late at night, and Vizza suggested sleeping so that he could get started in the morning. And it would be that way.

The Padawan was a Kaleesh, one Vizza picked himself after a random trip out of the whim of the Force, which Vizza gladly took. He took in the Kaleesh after he learned of the fate of his tribe, offering the Force Sensitive Kaleesh by the name of Kilvaari jol Qaem a new chapter for him to write his life as a part of his crew. A new life. In the year they had been together, Vizza taught him subtly the basics of the Force, so that within Kilvaari could wake the potential he had. And he had achieved it; Vizza offered his services as Master and he accepted.

"Come to think of it," Vizza thought to himself, "I should check up on him."

Wondering whether or not Kilvaari would be awake, Vizza made way to his room.

At the exact moment Kilvaari woke up, he realized it was a beautiful day.
No nightmares, that's a great start he thought. The nightmares from the day he found his tribe slaughtered, had been haunting him for years. Day by day, year by year, the nightmares only grew stronger and darker. But not today, today was a different day, a good one.

When Vizza knocked the door, Kilvaari was finishing putting his traditional Kaleesh clothe on.

Yez, Mazterr? - He answered the door, Vizza was going to speak when Kilvaari interrupted him - Today iz a good day mazterr, we should ztop playing with those ztickz and go back to the lightzaberz, i promized, i'll be more careful this time.

Kilvaari put his knife on the sheathe attached to his belt and walked the room a couple of times making sure he wasn't forgetting anything.

Vizza rose an eyebrow. Sure, he had been taking it lightly with Kilvaari... but that was about to change. No longer would Vizza be the kind teacher all the time, offering guidance and advise left and right. Kilvaari was used by now to do as he was told, but Vizza wanted more out of him. He had passed the first stage -- learning about the Force -- but now it was time to get serious. And so, in came the bizzare Zabrak.

Taking two steps inside the room, Vizza circled around Kilvaari. "My, my, young Kilvaari. You should be careful when speaking... it would seem you're trying to tell me what to teach you. Are you... defying my methods, by chance?" Of course, Vizza didn't mean to sound rough, but he was making it sound like he meant to intimidate the young Padawan.

 

[Visus_Vaan]

Of courrze not, mazterr. It waz only a zuggezztion. - Kilvaari walked around the room, making sure everything was in the right place. A couple of times he stumble over he's master that was roaming around the room. -
Bezidez, it wouldn't be the firrzt time i defy your methods, rright?.I have everrything i need mazterr. Shall we go? - Kilvaari stood near the door impatient. No way he was going to waste a beautiful day discussing methods, education or defiance with Vizza. -

The Zabrak walked past the Kaleesh. "It wouldn't be indeed the first time. But make no mistakes; this is going to be different." Walking the corridor, Vizza made his way outside through the wooden walls of the house he had built himself so many years ago. "We're going to take a new step into our training. I taught you how to feel the Force within you, taught you how to use basic capacities such as Telepathy and Sense. Now, it's time for you to really show me what you got." And they were out of the double doors into the woods. It was less than twenty meters for the dirt to mix with the sand, and the forest to give place to the beach.

Reaching the white grains bathed by the cristaline waters, Vizza placed himself in between the forest and the water waiting for Kilvaari to take the place Vizza was so politely pointing with a wave of his hand. "Tell me, Kilvaari... Why did you accept to become my Padawan?" Vizza sort of knew the reason, or at least he thought he knew. But he wanted to hear what Kilvaari had to say.

 

[Visus_Vaan]

- Ezcaping...my worrld...ezcaping frrom my pazt

Kilvaari pause and stared at the sand that separated him from his master, he was looking for an answer there, he was looking for a better reason. After a few minutes of review the question in his mind he open his mouth and without looking up he said.

- I waz alone in that planet and i waz helplezz, and then you came, the only brright light shining, the lighthouze of hope. Bezidez you werre powerrful and i wanted to be powerrful too. Zo i guezz thoze werre the rreazonz.

A millon thoughts crossed Kilvaari's mind while he was pronouncing the words. At first he doubted what he was saying was the truth, but then he realized than it was part of a whole bigger truth, one he wasn't ready to tell to his master. When he finished he looked up to see the reaction of the Zabrak. No sign was shown in the face of Vizza and this only made Kilvaari more doubtful and restless.

OOC: Please do not mod my character with the little details, like "He answered the door, Vizza was going to speak when Kilvaari interrupted him", and now the "When he finished he looked up to see the reaction of the Zabrak. No sign was shown in the face of Vizza and this only made Kilvaari more doubtful and restless." The opportunities for our characters to interact will show up in between posts without either of us having to mod it.

Vizza did not move a muscle, but inside, he felt something... It was as if Kilvaari was hiding something from him; what it was, however, Vizza did not know. But he let it slide, when Kilvaari was ready he would tell him. But there was something he had not liked about his speech. "So... you're with me because you think I can give you power?" Vizza rose his hand, palm upwards at chest level, questioning Kilvaari. "I do not concede power. I merely help you awake yours. Like this." A spin of his hands to his immediate right, and the sands in that direction kicked up suddenly. Vizza looked at Kilvaari. "Be careful of what you seek. I cannot give you power. If you want power, for power's sake, you're better off elsewhere under the wing of a Dark Jedi. I can only offer power for the sake of balance. A path that will not be blinded by light or crushed by darkness. Be wary... I haven't taught anyone in a very long time. I may have rusted up a bit."

Taking a break from the speaking, Vizza picked a lightsaber hilt from the back of his belt, the one right next to his own; a practice saber. He tossed it at Kilvaari with an arc, and spoke up again. "Now that we have more time, we'll start real training. No more random sparring. I'm going to teach you how a real fight goes, and along that, I will teach you how to call upon the Force to empower yourself."

With those words, Vizza picked his own lightsaber, and ignited it, the hiss-snap beaming forth an emerald light, the humming comforting Vizza as it always did. He reduced the intensity to an harmless level, so that should Kilvaari be hit by it only a minor burn would occur instead of cutting limbs off or bisecting the Kaleesh. "Ready up."

 

[Visus_Vaan]

OOC= ok, sorry.

Kilvaari ignite his training lightsaber, a yellow beam of light came straight forward from the hilt. Kilvaari then set himself in the Ataru opening position. While Kilvaari was getting ready for what was about to happen the words of his master were dancing around his mind. He hated the idea of becoming a dark jedi.

You azked me why had I dezided to follow yourr teachings, mazterr. But you neverr azked me why i'm ztill herre. I have changed zince. I grew up. Althought, I underrztand yourr conzerrnz.

Kilvaari stare at his master waiting for the opening move.

 

[DhehKappa]

"If you had not grown, then I would have failed in many levels, wouldn't you agee?"

Vizza swung his saber twice around him, his armor and skin lightly colored green from the beam of the plasma blade, and set himself in a position much similar to Kilvaari's, only better performed; a masterful opening stance of someone who earned it through decades of use and practice. But before moving, he added another few sentences to his previous words. "You have been with me for a few years, Kilvaari. Not only you have grown; I have grown as well. A teacher learns as much of a student has his student from him." He widened a bit the gap between his feet, lowering his gravity center has he prepared.

"You will now put to work everything I taught you. Seek the Force within yourself, and the Force around you, to empower yourself; you will need it to keep up with the speed, agility and flexibility demanded by Ataru. Come and have a try."

 

[Visus_Vaan]

Alrright mazterr.
Kilvaari took a deep breathe and focus on the force, after a few seconds he managed to synchronize himsef with the flow of the force. He bend his knees lowering his center of gravity and then pushed forward with a kick of his right leg. Kilvaari moved his lightsaber parallel to the ground aiming for Vizza's left hip.

 

[DhehKappa]

Way to simple, Vizza simply brought his lightsaber up, before bringing back down with a strong arm whiplash at Kilvaari's saber. The art of combat came naturally to Vizza, who had spent so many years keeping it up despite all the trials and tribulations, and as such it was only natural that Kilvaari's move was so easily met with Vizza's counter. Kilvaari was now exposed... and Vizza would love to see how he'd manage himself out of this situation. Would be freak out or would he keep his cool?
