Dangers of The Unknown(Damien Helbornes Training)

[Mars]

Aiden sat cross-legged outside the Bogan temple on Ando Prime. It was snowing lightly outside but was still cold. He wore his typical black light armour underneath his robes and his silk red headband around where his eyes would have been. He had only one lightsaber on him and would retrieve the other later on, he carried the more ornate and well-made one for now. But today was not about him. No, today he would recieve another Acolyte for training. Aiden was not the most active in training new members to the Bogan but he was the most active in missions as well as seeking further training for himself.

He did not know much about his new student, and from what he understood the man's name was Damien. Aiden had not learned anything else about race, build or skill and was somewhat anxious as to see what his new student would bring.

 

[Darth Darth Binks]

Damien confidently entered the Dark Jedi of the Bogan temple. It was a cool day, so he wrapped his traveller's cloak around himself and walked towards up the stairs. Damien knew he would succeed, as he always does. He swept under the door and into the room. He saw a man sitting on the floor, having a blind fold where his eyes should be. How was he supposed to learn from a blind master? Damien did not know the answer, but instead asked,
"Are you Aiden?"

 

[Mars]

Aiden had turned and gone inside as he grew tired of waiting for his apprentice. Here he sat meditating again on a large chair. Ironicly enough, a huge figure stepped into the room and asked if he was Aiden. It was huge, judging by it's presence in the Force. He was confident, yet seemed slightly confused.

"Yes. I am. Are you Damien, my new student?" Aiden asked without raising his head from his meditating position.

 

[Darth Darth Binks]

"Yes," Damien replied, his heart pounding with excitement. Damien keeled down and bowed his head. He took out his two lightsabers from their sheaths and raised them high.
"Master Aiden, I already have two lightsabers I inherited from my father. I ask you, may I use these?"

 

[Mars]

Aiden rose from his sitting position and stood up. His acolyte was indeed massive, kneeling he was about five feet tall. In his hands were a pair of lightsabers that Aiden took from him. Running them through his hands he examined them. They were not perfect but would be okay provided he knew how to use them. A quick test would be administered.

"Do you know how to use them Acolyte?" He asked slowly. "These are not mere weapons, they are an extention of you and should be treated as such. It takes years of practice to perfect use of one Form and even then it is not truely perfect but considered mastered as there is little more you can learn of it. I ask again Acolyte, do you know how to wield them?" He said, his voice growing in volume as he spoke. Aiden loved lightsaber combat and prided himself at being a very skillful user of the blade. He himself had mastered the second form and was nearing what most would consider mastery of the fourth form as well.

 

[Darth Darth Binks]

"A little bit, I have taught myself how to use it, but if I had mastered it, I wouldn't be here, would I?"
Damien smiled and stood up. Or attempted to. His head hit the ceiling, so Damien returned to a kneeling position. He awaited eagerly for his master's next orders.

 

[Mars]

Aiden smiled at his new students comment, and laughed a bit as he hit his head on the low ceiling of the room. He reached out and took the lightsabers from his student and placed them in a small compartment in his armour, next to the saber he kept from the Jedi temple assault. Aiden motioned for his student to follow him.

"Come. We will move into a room with higher ceilings so you may stand. Later on, we shall see what you can do with a blade but for now I'd like to learn so more about you." Aiden said leading his Acolyte to one of the many larger chambers in the Bogan temple. The ceilings were very high here so his acolyte need not worry about not fitting.

Aiden took a seat in one of the large, high-backed chairs in the room and motioned for his student to do the same.

"Tell me of your past Damien. Why are you here? Who told you that you were Force sensative? Why not the Jedi?" Aiden said. The last sentance rolled off his tounge almost with some poison, emphasizing the last word.

 

[Darth Darth Binks]

Damien sighed.
"Master, I do not know much of my past. I did not know who my father was, my earliest memory was when I was sixteen years old. I was born and raised on Mustifar, I'm sure you've heard of it. When I was seventeen years old, I decided to go and explore the galaxy. I was planning to stop at Hoth, but I ran out of gas and was forced to land on Tatooine. That is where I heard of the Jedi," Damien's face twitched. "I hated them from the start. They were so . . . weak. Then I heard of the Dark Jedi. Powerful. Wise. Strong. I knew then that this was my destiny, and I set out to become a Dark Jedi."

 

[Mars]

Aiden nodded silently as his new student spoke. He knew very little of his past. He felt as though the Jedi were weak, not untrue, but not entirely accurate either.

"You must understand one thing of the Jedi, acolyte. Their Order is an old one, one that is larger than our own and still one of the strongest forces in the galaxy. Do not underestimate them simply because of their pacifist teachings." Aiden said.


"Now, do you have any questions about me?" Aiden asked. He felt that if he was going to bring up an Acolytes past he should answer some questions of theirs.

 

[Darth Darth Binks]

Damien thought. The Jedi were stronger than the Dark Jedi?
"Well," he said, "What . . . what happened to your eye? How are you supposed to train me without eyes?"

 

[Mars]

Aiden laughed. It was funny to him because of the frequency of the question.

"I was born without them Damien. I am a Miraluka, and we see through the Force." Aiden said "I sense you feel a bit confused. Is that my lack of eyes or the warning about the Jedi?"

 

[Darth Darth Binks]

"Actually . . . a bit of both."
Damien smiled.
Then Damien laughed. For the first time in his life, he laughed. He could get used to this master.
"So," Damien said, "What shall we do first?"

 

[Darth Darth Binks]

*bump*

 

[Mars]

((Sorry about the time gap.))

Aiden sat in his chair thinking momentarily before realizing a rather important question.

"Can you do anything using the force already? Like move things or augment your own abilites like jumping or running?" He asked.

 

[Darth Darth Binks]

Damien thought for a moment. Has he ever used the force before in any way? He couldn't recall any time having a connection.
"No," Damien finally concluded.
