Forced into a new life...(Training of Ksilas)

[Horizon]

Standing over a bed with a stranger occupying it, Rish awaited his new acolyte to awake from being unconscious. Her rather large pet was taken
to a rather large "play area". More like an oversized pin for her pet to roam
around in untill Ksilas awakend. Rish had many ideas as to what he would
train her to be. But also he thought it might be good to ask her what she
would like to specialize in.

Taking a seat near the bed, Rish pulled out an archaic book from his robes and began to read through it. He hoped to find more understanding of the
Bogan and their ways and more advanced powers that he might use in combat. He had laready learned the power of memory walk and how to drain the Force by searching through the archives. There was no telling what might be there. Although, Rish would soon have to train under another master to increase his chances of becoming a Dark master.

Flipping through the pages time passed for a bit and Rish was lost in reading his book awaiting his new found acolyte to awake...

 

[Celestialvortex]

Sore and aching, Ksilas found herself in a bed. She moaned slightly, thinking about her strange dream she had been having. It was an unusually detailed dream, where the cargo ship had already landed, and there was a kel dor chasing her for some reason he never explained. The cargo ship had probably stopped, as she could not hear the ship's engines propelling her through hyperspace. She was probably sore from being cramped in the crate...

But she was laying down... And the crate had required her to sit to rest, there hadn't been enough trim to lay down. And why would her headcrest be slighly smashed from resting aquardly. Ksilas started to have a bad feeling about this.

Her eyes flew open and she found herself on a bed, and the kel dor reading something In a chair nearby. Horror filled her as she realized the dream had been real, and that she was captured by the kel dor sitting next to her. She sat up so quickly nausia overtook her, and slowly laid back down again. Kailiak was... Blaster bolts; where was the varactyl?

"Where am I, why did you kidnap me, and what did you do with my varactyl?" Ksilas shot at her captor.

 

[Horizon]

Rish continued to turn through the pages of book as Ksilas asked her questions with fear and worry. Rish was now calm for he was in his
own enviroment. Out there on courscant he felt anguish and anger.
Stopping about half way in the book, Rish closed the book quietly.
He then turned to Ksilas and sat back in the chair in a relaxed
manner and let out a loud sigh.

"Trandoshan, you are on Ando Prime. You are in a place of great
knowledge. An enclave of Force users like yourself. Also I kidnapped
you because you wouldnt follow me and I need an acolyte.

You fit the bill perfectly. Also your "pet" is safe. Away from all the
other acolytes. Now anymore questions?"

 

[Celestialvortex]

"Yes" ksilas responded."what is your name, for starters. And then what should happen if I decide not to be your acolyte?" third, why are you different from Jedi? Even though I left them, they were kind enough to ask before they brought me in; you resorted to kidnapping. I left the Jedi when two masters abandoned me, one through death, the other for no reason at all!"

Her scales tingled just like the first time she had met Bailo. Now he was dead, and ash was a poor successor. *Nether of them were able to teach her very much before they left her. And this kel dor felt dark, the force around him felt like an ice-blade ready to strike. Unlike the Jedi. She remembered the little *jedi holocron Bailo had shown her, but only faintly; she might need to use some of it's knowlege *to help her excape...

 

[Horizon]

Resting his hands on his lap, Rish chuckled to himself about how she mentioned the Jedi. Rish had heared of them and had encountered
them a couple of times. The most recent encounter was the slaughter
at the jedi temple....

"My name is Rish Koor. And if you refuse to be my acolyte im afraid
I will kill you. Because no one leaves this temple and risk exposing
us. We are Bogan. Force user's who abandoned the jedi because
they lacked to act fast enough. As for your master's im not sure
why one gave up on you. You have potential in the Force.

As for the dead master im sure it was because he held those Jedi's
beliefs to close to the heart..."
Rish then gave off a loud snarl and got out of his chair to walk over to a small chest located across the room. He then began to search through the crate as Ksilas mustered up another question or two..

 

[Celestialvortex]

Ksilas stayed silent. Death was not something she had on her to-do list. And what Rish, as his name turned out to be, was right. How could the other Jedi not see her potential? How could...

But she herself had not seen her own potential. It was not right for her to think like that. Rish was now looking through a crate. She waited, and touched her crushed crest

 

[Horizon]

Pulling out what seemed to be black cloth was actualy black robes that Ksilas
would now wear as her daily outfit in the Bogan. Laying it next to her, Rish then stepped out the door and closed rather violently.

"Get dressed in your new clothing and I will bring you to your pet.
Also the sooner we start your training the sooner you can end it."

Rish then leaned against the wall and let out a small sigh as he waited for his acolyte.

 

[Celestialvortex]

When Rish left, Ksilas changed. The black robes were just her size, luckily. However, the pure black made her feel uneasy. It reminded her of the starless night when koorbar was killed. Ksilas stripped off her specially crafted boots and laid them down, hearing her claws click on the stone ground. She walked out if the room, where Rish was waiting for her. She might as well, protesting and getting herself killed might be unnessisary, she would have to see what he tried to teach her before she did anything...

 

[Horizon]

Rish looked at Ksilas's new outfit and thought it looked rather well considering
how dark her life was going to be from now on. Of course when her training
ended she is allowed to wear whatever she needs to suite her needs.

Turning his back to her, Rish raised his hand waved Ksilas to follow along with Rish. The halls they passed through held many rooms that were specific to certain areas of training. From melee,meditation,library and to training in the
Force, there was just about everything one needed in the temple to train.

After a couple minutes of walking, Rish opend the doors into the sparring room. Stepping off to the sides Rish pulled off his hood to some what relax
and get a bearing on what was needed to be done.

"Today we will begin your melee training. If you look over there to the right wall you can pick any type of weapon that you feel comfortable with. This can range from a single blade,dual wielding or a staff like weapon."

 

[Celestialvortex]

"and if I don't want to fight?" ksilas chose her words carefully. All the while though, she had been eyeing them carefully. Her reptilian eyes stuck on three weapons in particular; one being as a staff, the other like some cerimonial spear, and a third a double blade. Each was almost as long as her, and she felt bloodlust creeping into her senses...

No, she told herself. The red mist retreated back. But like a dragon that curled around her heart, it whispered of carnivorous pleasures her kind enjoyed so often in hunting. It scared her, and like the time she had seen the lightsaber at the Jedi temple, she shied back, afraid and shuddering at images of herself attacking vornskr in primal fury. Ksilas did not want to fight, not now not ever...

 

[Horizon]

"There isint much of a choice. Also Ksilas if you refuse once more I will find what is keeping you from violence. There are ways for me to see your past Ksilas and I would watch it like a holocron.."

Rish then folded his arms as he stared down at Ksilas with anticipation
to see her next move. Ksilas was like a child in this point of her training.
And Rish would make sure she would be "raised" well. Even if it meant
punishment. But Rish wouldnt get physical. But rather delve into her mind.

 

[Celestialvortex]

Ksilas. He had called her by her name, and yet she had no recollection of telling her name to the kel dor. That scared her, and yet she still thought she could fight him off if he decided to enter her mind again. She put herself into a sort of standing meditation, sloppy as she had not practiced since Joshua had shown her it. But her mind was clearing, and she stood ready to fight, speaking in a calm voice," No, I shall not fight!" She felt the force surround her in a barrier, and prepared her against attack. But doubt formed in her head, and that may have proved to be her undoing.

 

[Horizon]

Rish noticed the surprise on her face as he mentioned her name.
Indeed he hadnt asked before but he thought it be appropriate
that he look into some of items that were stolen from the jedi
temple on Courscant. Rish was present during the slaughter and
killed his share of padawans while at the same time betraying
one of his past acolytes.

"You will fight. And I dont have patience Ksilas."

Rish unclipped his saber from his utility belt and clenched it in his fist
as the saber came to life before Ksilas. Rish perfered melee combat
above all else. His ferocity came from the past as he concentrated
it into pure energy to keep him going through some of the most
grueling pain.

"If you rather we could...start with something a bit more simple."

Rish turned off the saber almost as soon as he had turned it on.
Ksilas wasint fond of combat. But even the jedi knew that not
every situation could be resolved with peace. Sometimes violence
was the only true answer to a situation.

"Punch me in the face as hard as you can. Or else your pet will be harmed to the point beyond disrepair. I dont want to take those actions but I will if you leave me no choice."

Leaning in close to Ksilas, Rish breathed in very slowly awaiting her to strike him. This was a test for both sides. Rish dealt with pain by giving it back and consuming his self with anger. Rish would try to control himself and get Ksilas
used to violence.

 

[Celestialvortex]

I will never let you harm Kailiak!

Proud of her speed, she had never been one to use her strength. This simple fact stated that Ksilas could move quickly. very quickly. her force shield flew off and the world around her blurred into a red mist, her ultraviolet sight picking out one victim. A single victim. Her prey. Kisilas, unknowingly aided by the Force, flew snarling at Rish...

 

[Horizon]

Within a split second, Rish put one foot out infront of himself, bowing out his chest with both his arms held back to give support to his chest.
Kisilas had shown weakness when her pet was mentioned. And that was all Rish needed. Suddenly Kisilas smacked directly against Rish's chest causing a loud crash to sound off as she could not go any further with out going through rish. Looking down upon Kisilas, Rish let out a loud snort...

"Push harder. Show me what you truly can do!"

 

[Celestialvortex]

Ksilas growled as she shoved against her prey. It stood firm and strong, and She stood back a moment. The harder the resistance, the harder the fall. Filled with animal rage, Ksilas rammed into Rish at full speed, and pushed. She felt something moving, be it herself or Rish, she could not tell, and felt infused with anger. She felt some thing out there, something she could grab and use against her prey, and reached; the strange Force obeyed her command and she slammed a fist against Rish's chest, aided by a powerful use of the Force. Ksilas was too far in her animal rage however, And had lost control of herself, giving in to raw rage. The creature she had become flung blow after blow of raw force energy at him, snarling, before plowing into her prey again. She Pushed....

 

[Horizon]

Ksilas had a bit more strength than Rish had anticipated. Her sheer Force abilitys along with her own rage caused Rish to skid backwards. Rish didint hold his ground though. The small sound of Rish's boots could be heared as she continued to push while Rish merely looked down upon her.

"That is enough Ksilas. You have shown me enough."
Rish pushed her Ksilas with gentle force to try and seperate one another.
Of course Rish felt that his push was rather gentle it was realy shove than anything.

"Now would you rather we continue with this or shall we do something that deals with the Force? Your choice."

 

[Celestialvortex]

Her prey pushed her from him and she snarled, claws scraping the floor. Although as powerful as she was, her prey was more powerful, and had been toying with her as she had attacked him and pushed him accross the floor. The red mist took up most of her vision, besides the prey, which was only fuzzy. This prey could not beat her! This prey would fall! Besides animal-Ksilas hung the weaponson the wall; She grabbed the double bladed sword; recognizing it's smooth texture in her hands, and roared! This prey must fall! Feeling the Strange force around her, prepared to launch bricks of it at her prey, Ksilas leapt 10 feet in the air; aided by the Force, and aimed the blades at Rish, growling.

 

[Horizon]

Seeing his acolyte coming down with furry and rage, Rish could see himself in her. There was a sould some where in that scaly body that held pain like he did. Although as much as Rish wanted to admit to himself that the pain still layed quietly inside, he had murdered most of his feelings long ago.

But now his acolyte was determined to kill and was moments away from achieving this goal. Rish ignited his saber and praried the right side of the blade. The rush of combat was amazing. But then his feelings crept back into his mind. The images of a teenage boy wrought with pain of loosing his father made him tear up. Although his acolyte could not most likely see it, the tears were flowing.

Weakness fell upon Rish. He had not let this happen since the day his father died. Rish was ready for more of whatever his acolyte wanted to deal out.
But pain couldnt describe he was feeling now...

 

[Celestialvortex]

The energy seemed to crackle around her now, and she felt as if it were some energy, waiting to be released. Ksilas stepped back and stopped hurling chunks of force power for a brief second, so that the lightning could excapefrom her outstretched claws. The *electric blue bolts blinded Ksilas, and ripped her from her carnivorous state. She fell backwards, panting; realization of what she just did dawned on her, and she sat speechless in terror. Looking at the two sided sword in her hand, she noticed a splotch of blood, from some victim years ago, and flung it across the floor. Then her mind truly came back. She felt Rish kor's sadness over something, something so powerful and overwhelming she cowered in the sadness herself, so mixed with her own fear she could not tell the difference between the two.

The trandoshan struggled to her feet and gasped a moment, before quietly asking:

"What have you done to me?"
