Dar meditated in his dark chambers, awaiting his first apprentice. Even sitting, floating a foot off of the floor, Dar's large form looked very imposing. He was so aware at the minute. Since he had become a Knight himself he had learned so much of the Force and was eagerly anticipating training an apprentice.

The Training of Jonas Eldridge
- Thread starter Ols
- Start date
Traversing the Dark innards of the Academy Jonas moved silently through the shadowed halls coming to an intersection he felt out with the Force. A dark presence stood out from all the rest he turned right walking down a hallway thinking to himself. "This has already been a test just finding this man." he walked onwards till he reached a doorway. Jonas gazed at it then moved through into a dark room on the inside he saw the imposing sight of his new Master risen off the ground. "We meet at last my Master." Both sides of Jonas said reverently he bowed his head humbled by the Dark Power he felt flowing from the young man.
Dar felt the man enter and took to his feet, raising himself to his impressive height, looking over his new apprentice. He was wearing tatty, dirty robes, but stood strong. He felt he would give him a first test before really beginning to train him, "Welcome, Jonas," he said, raising his hand a little and sending the man crashing into the far wall through the Force.
Jonas reacted as quickly as he could swinging his body around he used the force to pull the air near the wall onto himself to slow his tumble towards the wall dampening the impact. He quickly raised himself up while pulling out two grenades. "Die you Bastard!" Using the force he raised the grenades into the air both of the grenades pins pulled out as he flung them at great speed towards his new Master hoping they would turn him into nothing more than a charred corpse.

Dar smirked, his apprentice was certainly imaginative, if a little brutish. He pushed the air around the grenades inwards as they exploded, disippating the force oof their explosion in a small puff of smoke. He was glad he knew something basic about the Force at least, but the attack could have been a lot better. As Jonas got up he used a very strong, quick Force pull to send him flying into the opposite wall, hard.
"Oh Fuh-!" Jonas cried out as he felt the tug of the force fling him past his master towards the other side of the room into the wall. He hit the wall the wall with a loud smack. The impact would've broken the bones of a lesser man but Jonas raised himself up once again only slightly dazed. Rage filled him from the very depths of his being the anger coursed through his very veins. The thought "How dare he throw me around like some Kath Hound chew toy!" echoed throughout his mind. Jonas stared at his Master the anger and hate in his heart felt like was going cause him to explode. He bellowed a terrible yell of rage a wave of energy and sound blasted outwards from him towards his Master.

The sound did not damage, Dar. He absorbed it in the Force. He felt a huge amount of anger in his apprentice and that was good.
"The Sith always look to surplant those above them who are weaker and eradicate failure and weakness from their ranks. You are not weak, but continuing this fight with me, now, would be pointless," he paused, " you clearly know something of the Force, so what is the Force to you?"

Jonas stared at his Master his rage had not dissipated but he used the vibrant energy within him to think on his Masters question. "To me the Force is an ancient power that has long outlasted the lives of mortals. It has built itself up from the dawn of time its influence shapes the worlds, wars, and peoples of this universe. The Force is split between two sides Dark and Light destruction and life.
This power can only be bended to the will of a select few and its use is that which defines it. There are those who use its power for good allowing it to flow through them and create life their are few among them who can truly be powerful. Then their are those who bend the Force to their will harnessing it's destructive powers to achieve their own ends. These people who inherently draw upon it's power pervert it bending the laws that govern this universe they are of the Dark Side and are they alone are truly strong. As for the Force I seek its true potential the untapped limitless power that it holds to destroy this pathetic weak universe and from its ashes rebuild a new strong universe where strength and power is the dominant force just as it was when this universe was born." Jonas gave grand gestures at the appropriate times enunciated his voice for choice phrases. It was quite a speech he had walked around the entire breadth room during his monologue ending up only a few feet from his Master he looked up at him. "But first I must learn to harness the force and you will teach me how!" His eyes flashed red his very gaze seemed like it could burn those it touched.

"Well you certainly have ambition," he said, "and I can feel power, or rather potential, in you. But you have to learn respect first," he had been trained through wounds and power. He knew respect. He would teach it, "follow me," he led him out of the acadmey to the valley of the Dark Lords, "Now the first thing you shall learn is not. to. tell. me. what. to. do." as he stressed these words he blocked his apprentice's throat so he could not breath. Jonas clawed at his neck. Dar released him, "Now I think you're getting to know the chain of command, I'll go over some basic powers. I feel you have a simple understanding of pulling and pushing, but I want you to push that rock," he indicated one, "into the cliff wall and smash it to pieces."
"Very well Master." Jonas looked over at the rock it was a boulder twice his volume in size. "This isn't going to be easy." he picked up the rock using the force spun it around in a circle memorizing every one of it's crevices and cracks. He adjusted it slightly so that it would hit at it's weakest point then sent it flying towards the cliff wall with an extravagant push. Beads of sweat had formed on the back of his neck from the exertion the damn rock had weighed a ton. Jonas watched and waited to see if his exertions would succeed in breaking the boulder to bits.
The small boulder hit the wall, but not that hard. It did not crack. Dar raised his hand and effortlessly moved it back, "Now do it again, and don't use your strength, use the Force. Use your anger to smash it. Be ready to inflict pain."
"Yes Master." Jonas felt his mind meld with a dark rage that was kept under control by the barest of threads. Smiling to himself he raised his hand. The small boulder lifted in the air nearly shaking to pieces as his newfound power encompassed it. He flicked his wrist the Boulder hit the wall shattering to pieces. "The task is done." Jonas stared coldly at his Master awaiting his next order.

Dar returned his apprentices arrogant stare, "Just because you've accomplished one task proves nothing," he gestured to another boulder, "pull that toward you, fast, but slow it down before it's momentum hits you."
Jonas lifted the boulder from the ground and pulled it back towards himself. The boulder flew with great speed towards him he tried to slow it down but its momentum was to great. "Shit!" Jonas leapt out of the way but he was clipped by the boulder as it passed and was sent sprawling into the dust. Cursing to himself he picked himself up again. He started the wearisome process of pulling the boulder to himself and dodging out of the way only to be stunned. Finally after a particularly unsuccessful attempt in frustration and anger Jonas pulled the Boulder towards him. He held his ground seething with anger as the boulder flew at him and with a ferocious swipe of his hand he stopped it not an inch away from him. "The lesson has been learned." His hateful eyes locked with his Master the dust on his robes was blown off of him by waves of energy created from his barely controlled anger.
He looked at his uncontrolled apprentice, he would have to knock a little sense in to him and, cringing as he swore, a little class too. But that could wait for the moment, "Now," he said, pushing two boulders about a hundred meters in front of Jonas, "pull one to you and smash the other on the rock face, at the same time."
Jonas looked at the two boulders disdainfully lifting and throwing rocks was not why he had joined the Sith but his anger was still coursing through him he'd continue with the pathetic task for now. He lifted both the boulders and sent them in opposite directions one at himself and the other at the wall. This time Jonas got the results he wanted the boulder hitting the wall broke into a thousand shards as he stopped his own boulder that had flown at faster than ever before. The boulder he'd stopped had even cracked from the force of his anger. Jonas smirked to himself "I doubt I can learn anything more from rocks." Jonas directed the statement at his master with great arrogance.
"I doubt you'll be alive much longer if you keep questioning my methods," he said, now growing angry with his arrogant apprentice himself. Who did he think he was, a would-be Sith insulting a true Sith. If he had not thought he had some potential he would have killed Jonas by now. "Now you shall learn to leap through the Force. Follow me."
Dar leapt, very high, aided by the Force and landed comfortably on a ledge.

"I doubt-" [A silent battle raged inside Jonas's head. "You fool do you wish to get us killed with your arrogance!" "What!? I didn't see you accomplishing anything your pathetic and weak!" "At least when I'm in control I don't piss off our superiors!" "Fine then take control I doubt you'll accomplish anything." "Just watch." ] "-I could do anything but follow your orders." His voice had changed mid sentence from arrogance to a humble voice. Jonas had watched his Master closely it didn't seem like the man had thrown himself up on the ledge with the Force. More likely he had strengthened his legs with the force.
Jonas channeled the force into his legs he took a running start then with a twang of his leg muscles propelled himself up into the air. "There we go easy as... Oh bugger!" Jonas saw he had not jumped high enough he was going to fall short or more probably into the wall. He tried to slow himself down but his momentum sent him careening into the wall with a loud smack a few feet short of Masters ledge. He fell to the ground only avoiding serious injury by rolling in an inelegant fashion. Jonas groaned getting himself up while ignoring the roaring laughter from his other personality going through his mind.
Once again Jonas flung himself upwards into the air by channeling the Force into his legs. He landed by his Master on the ledge awkwardly. "That was more difficult than it looked my Master." he adopted a humble voice and stared slightly beneath his Masters eyes so he didn't look arrogant.

Dar raised an eybrow as he looked at his strange apprentice. If he did not know better he would have said that he had a split personality. Even so, his arrogant side needed to learn respect. He raised his hand and sent him flying off the wall and said in a condenscending voice, "I told you to come up here, hurry up."
He needed to be ready for the unexpected, and to realise certain things and Dar was teaching him this.

Jonas flipped through the air as he was swatted off the ledge. Thinking quickly he pulled a boulder up towards him landing on it. "Your a real prick about time you know that." He leapt off the boulder to a ledge adjacent to his Masters. His body switched to a stance of readiness that still held a sense of composure.
