The Arrival, Starting the sith training

[fitachi]

The arrival at the planet was an actual planet called Yavin Four. The bounty hunter noticed the boy slowly getting his grip and awakening from the deep slumber. Zeref slowly sat in the backseat instead of lying all over it as he could hear "Soo your awake, here drink some" As the man came again with the bottle. The boy grabbed and shouted out loud, "YOU IDIOT!" He threw the whole bottle of water straight at the back of the head of the man, 'Step out and run towards that building' The boy directly jumped out as the man was all covered up with the water on his hair soaking wet, "Brat!" That man said as he wanted to grab the boy. Yet Zeref jumped off the car and ran straight over towards the nearest building. The strange thing was that he was not followed, it seemed to have been that the force was guiding him once again only to the safety where he needed to be.

Slowly coming closer, he was able to see that many cloaked people were there, "Hello could you tell me where I am.." He asked to multiple people only to be ignored. The boy his mind was get more confused by the second he was there, "Why did that man brought me to this planet? Why didn't they answer me! Why are all my wounds healed? Who speaks to me every time!" The boy was thinking, but in the meanwhile his force capability and sensitivity were only growing by those thoughts of fear.

 

[Radiwalker]

Yavin IV, a jungle planet where one of the sith temples was located. Drenn had gone out for a walk in the jungles early in the morning. The sun was now well above the temple and it forcasted that it was about noon. The togruta was returning from his walk. His long black cloak sliding behind him, wrapped around his body. His togrutan markings white as ever, underlining the red skin on his face.

Upon reaching the entrance, which was filled with the chaotic movement of avolytes and masters all the same, Drenn placed his gaze on something different, something new. It was a boy and the force could easily be felt inside him. He had potential, but it seemed he was lost and no one was paying attention to him. Drenn smirked as he walked over to the child, calm as always, patting him on the shoulder while crouching and whispering into his ear.

Drenn - "Follow me."

He did not know if the boy would listen, but if it did, he would train it in the ways of the force and help it obtain the power, so as to never find himself in such a situation again. Without looking at the boy, Drenn stod up and walked towards the entrance, slowly, still obsering the surroundings. He entered the temple and directed himself towards his chambers. The hallways were too filled with sith rushing to their own daily tasks. Once the togruta finally reached his chambers, he would open the door and enter, leaving the door open behind his back.

Drenn`s chambers consisted of two rooms. The one in which he entered was large and mostly empty. There was a tarentatek head hanging on one of the walls and a desk in the back of the room. The door to the other room was closed and seemed to be locked. The crusader walked over to the desk and sat on the chair, placing his eyes on the door, to see if the boy had followed or not.

 

[fitachi]

The young boy looked around, after sometime he could hear once again a voice within his head guiding him completely, "Follow him" He could hear within mind. He felt soon after that a power coming closer to him, it was more chilled than those others from around him. He looked straight infront of him, as it seemed to be someone was maybe concentrating on him? It came closer and closer, to him, but then it stopped next to him patting Zeref on the shoulder.

Confused, the boy was as he had no idea what this whole place was. This whole other planet, it was just strange and it was going so fast. It suddenly happened just a few moments before he heard to follow someone and then the man on the side of him told Zeref to follow. The boy was a getting more and more confused, the fears within his mind were getting greater. Just when he became more hungry, actually the boy did decide to follow after a short while. The boy kept on walking while having on a pretty long distance the man, till he entered a large chamber. The boy noticed the head which gave him this even colder feeling then he said with a shy but direct voice, "Why you told me to follow and where am I!"

 

[Radiwalker]

A smirk came to Drenn`s face as he clenched his fingers in front of his face, hiding it, while putting his elbowls on the desk. He was glad that the boy had followed, but it was still confused, although from it`s words, the crusader could tell that the youngster had strength and a strong will. It was clear he knew little about the universe otherwise he would recognise the planet and the temple as they were quite prominient. However the boy was eager and quite emotional. He was nearly perfect.

Drenn - "You are in a sith temple. But I guess you don`t know what sith is. I`ll have to begin from afar and speak for a while so take a seat." The togruta waved to the boy, pointing to a chair on the other side of the desk. He waited to see if the boy would take the seat, or do something else and then he`d continue. "The sith are warriors who fight with the power of their emotions, giving in to them, but still remaining in control. They seek power for one reason or another and unlike others, tehy don`t let anything stop them from reaching their goals. Now you`d ask what makes the sith different from any common thug who fights for himself. It is something called the Force. The Force is a power which has many aspects, which can be revealed only if you manage to gain control over it. Many people don`t have it in them and some that do never learn to control it. You have it in you, if anything strange has happened to you, it is most probably connected to the force, or caused by it. However you should be careful, as while the force can be your greatest ally, it can also be your greatest enemy, but more on that later."

Drenn let the boy accumulate all of that information for a moment, then he continued with his deep dark voice, that could bring chills to the most wonderful of places and given the surroundings and the mostly dark scenery of the room, it sounded even more dreadful.

Drenn - "Another thing about the sith is that they do not only serve themselves, they also serve the empire, as the empire unites them and gives them opportunity to learn, access to knowledge, masters to teach as well as enough enemies to test their powers against. Now after you have heard all of this, I ask you, do you want to go down a path, from which tehre is no turning back, but a path that will lead you to greatness, knowledge and power all the same? It is your choice. If you choose to stay I will teach you in the ways of the sith as well as teach you to control the force. Of course you can choose to leave and try to survive on your own in this jungle of a planet."

The last part of his speech was spoken with hardly sustaining himself from laughing. The crusader knew that the boy had no real choice in this, but allowing him to think that he can choose was part of more easily accomodating him to the sith ways, as he would eventually realise that the option for choice in this matter was a deceit and that that was part of being a sith.

 

[fitachi]

The boy walks over to the seat as he sat down, listening to the whole story of the sith and what this place actually was. He was suprised but at the same moment it seemed pretty average to him. As if this was all something like a dream that kept on getting over and over. Just while the man kept on speaking and giving the boy a lose lose decision. The boy said, "But if I go into the forest...then angry creatures, will attack me ... I don't want need any power" The boy said while his mind, "If I do this and it is a trap then I am dead... I don't want to die, I dont I dont I don't" But then once again the other voice within his head started to speak, "If you need power, then grab the thing you have... whenever you need me I will be by your side it your decision, but later on you need to learn to speak for yourself."

The boy started to slowly cry, "I can't do anything at all... My parents...drunk ... I cant help them... my grandmother died... I could not help her either, I want to be stronger..." The boy slowly whispered every single thing. The fear he had the sadness, were becoming also anger which made him even stronger then before, just slightly yet it improved.

 

[Radiwalker]

Drenn`s smile became bigger as he witnessed the boy crumble before him. He himself had felt helpless and useless before joining the sith. Now he had power and was growing stronger every single day. He felt that soon he would be able to protect those dear to him and have revenge on those who have done him wrong, it was all a matter of time and hard work.

The first thing he remembered that guided him down this path, was the sith code. He could remember as if it was yesterday how his own master thought him the sith code and had him learn it, the very day they met. It was only appropriate that he did the same.

Drenn - "You feel helpless and unseless, don`t you. You feel liek a burden to everyone around you, just dragging along, causing trouble. Well now it is up to you to change that. If you train and study hard, one day you will have amazing power within the tips of your fingers."

While speaking the togruta raised from his seat, streatching out his arms towards the desk, channeling his emotions, his hatred, his anger, his lust for revenge and power, he let the force stream through his body, as lighteblue sparks bursted out of his fingertips, englufing into a small, yet beautiful lightening, hitting the desk. It seemed like the bolts were dancing around the surface of the desk, when they were actually carving words into it. Suddenly the lightening stopped and the crusader looked straight into the boy`s eyes.

Drenn - "Read these words aloud and learn them by heart, as they will be your guide and your philosophy. This is the sith code."

The words read:
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power I gain victory.
Through victory my chains are broken.
The force shall free me."​

 

[fitachi]

It was strange moments, a man trying to help him somehow training in somewhat the ways of the sith? He would hear the voice of the man while the boy crumbled mkore together within his own small hole. More unsure of himself, every second that passed by within this cursed place. "Calm down boy, you can learn alot here, learn to use me!" When the boy had to learn about the voice in his head himself, he whispered, "A sith is talking within my mind" The boy still clueless but then he saw some strange thing happening infront of him, the tips of the fingers infront of him on the man his hand were changing of color in deep light blue, sparkling like the most beautifull stars. Just as those sparkles on the finger changed towards a ray, a long beam that went towards the wall which made the wall get incraved by some text, the boy looked at it and read it out loud while he could hear the text getting incraved within his mind.

"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power I gain victory.
Through victory my chains are broken.
The force shall free me."​

The boy spoke out loud till he was finally done, "Is that good enough" while he wiped away his tears

 

[Radiwalker]

Drenn raised one eyebrow while looking at the boy. He could sense the potential, feel the power within him trying to get out, but he wasn`t willing to learn, something was lacking, it was that spark that needed to be ignited. The boy had to learn that power was going to take him out of the black pitch he was in, that power would lead him to a good life, which he controls instead of being controlled by others.

The boy repeated the words, but without emotion, without actually expressing them. He was so engulfed in his own small world that he couldnt understand what was happening. Something needed to be done to open his eyes. At first Drenn thought about torturing him, but he was too young and frigile, he might not withstand that and his potential was too big to be wasted. No, there was another way. The togruta took something out of the pocket of his cloak, paced it next to his mouth and whispered into it, afterwards he returned it inside of his pocket. Upon doing that, Drenn took a seat on the edge of the table, now standing a few inches away from the wipping boy.

Drenn - "You speak the words, but you do not understand them. Living by the code isn`t very important, but it is important to understand it and comprehend the knowledge and wisdom within it. It tells us that there can be no inner peace, instead we should let our passion guide us. For it will bring us strength, which will make us more powerful. Through obtaining power we become supirior to our opponents and claim victory in battle. Once we are victorious, we are the masters of our own fate, the force, which is the source of our power has set us free. Learn to speak the words with emotion and understand them, instead of plainly reading them, like a sign in a marketplace."

Drenn had barely finished talking when two men, in imperial clothes, carrying a third man, in leather, nearly ripped apart cothes, through the door, bowing their heads to the crusader. The togruta pointed to the far end of the room, on the other side of the desk. The two imperials dragged the slave there and dropped him on the ground. He moaned, as they both gave him a kick before leaving the room. The sith stood up from the table, while taking a sort of a metal stick from his belt and placing it in the middle of the desk. It was placed in such a way that the boy only had to extend his arms to grab it, while the slave would have to stand up and make a few steps.

The togruta walked to the left wall, from where he could observe the table, the boy and the salve all at the same time, from the side. He smiled, while placing his gaze on the boy and spoke.

Drenn - "Now I shall teach you through example the value of the sith code. On the table I have placed a weapon, which is activated by a simple press of the button. You and the slave shall race for that weapon, the one to take it and strike down the other will be the one who gets to see another day. Now there is a catch of course. If none of you go for the weapon and the kill, I will kill you both."

As he spoke the smile on his face was enlargening as he could see the slave slowly getting on his feet, while keeping his eyes locked on the weapon. He would surely strike the boy down without any hesitation after all the torture he`s been through. Perhaps he thinks he still has hope for survival, although even if he would survive this encounter, he would be killed by the officers afterwards.

Drenn - "Begin."

 

[fitachi]

He listened to every single word that was being told to him, while the tears were still being wipped away. The boy his sadness was slowly passing away but he heard the words from the sith. It was like the emotions of him were slowly getting stopped and the force himself wanted to take more and more over, it wanted to have control over the boy himself. The boy kept on listening but not precisely understanding everything. Throught the seconds the boy could hear footsteps. One step after the other, but it was not one person, no those were way to fast there were more of them.

He could suddenly see two people getting inside they were empire soldiers, with one having the clothing on of a slave. The boy looked a bit scared now, why was a slave brought to prove a point, was it that important to learn about a code? Why use a slave for that! "I am nothing more thenhim, hes maybe even more then me, I stole tihngs to keep on living" The boy though.

Keep on listening to the twisted game the man had in his mind, the way of the sith game it could be nearly called. He listened till the end but the boy said, "But... but ... I don't want to die" The boy shouted out choatic as the game was starting, The boy stared at the weapon without as he grabbed it but not activated it. The slave was just getting closer and closer to him till he ripped it out of the boys hand and tossed him towards the corner of the room. He activated the red colored light saber and walked over towards the boy nearly standing so close to him as a whole new kind of tension could be felt.

The boy fell to the ground at the wall with his eyes suddenly closing and the tension around him made the slave struggle, "Switch time" He heard within his mind for the very first time as his eyes slowly closed. The very far strong powers of the boy were increasing drasticly towards the peak, The boy slowly stood up as he had a dead stare, the tip of his eyes were light red, The boy his eyes were then getting more and more red completely till it was all done. The eyes were completely soaking blood red.

The boy stood up making the slave be completely confused and scared, The arms from the young Zeref extended as the boy screamed out loud, a whole focus purely on the slave. The scream was causing the blood dripping from every part of the body possible, from the ears, nose, eyes. Blood was all dropping down over the floor from the face of the slave causing the man die from bloodloss.

The boy looked over at the sith, consumed by the darkness, completely helped by the powers of the dark side of the force. He looked angry over towards him as the boy suddenly fell down, into his own onconciousness.

 

[Radiwalker]

Drenn watched with anticipation, having no intention to interrupt the game. Suddenly, as he watched the boy be thrown to the wall, he sensed a darker and colder presence, something deep within the boy was revealing itself, as his gaze changed and his intentions were more dreaful. The boy had been consumed by his emotions. Drenn knew what that was as he had gone through it as well, but this boy seemed a far worse case than him, he had to be thought how to keep control, yet still use your emotions to fuel your strength.

A powerful scream was released,leading to the death of the slave, but the boy was drained, at least his darkness had shown itself, now it was just a matter of training for the boy to be able to draw it whenever he wants and sustain his control over it. It was far more than plain emotions, it was a darker personality, hidden deep within the boy`s mind.

As the slave`s pale, bloodless body stumbled on the ground, so did the boy. The togruta walked over to the slave, with a smile on his face, extracting the lightsaber hilt from the weightless fingers, of the dead man and putting it inside the child`s hand. That was the saber Drenn had recieved when he first met his master. That very weapon had helped him in many battles, but now it was time to pass it on to the next generation. It was becoming a sort of a legacy, being passed on from master to student.

The crusader again took out the small commlink from his pocket and called the same two imperial guards. The rushed in the room. One took the dead body and left, perhaps taking it to be properly buried, or burned, as to not spread deseases. While the other guard took the boy and left. The guard was instructed to take the boy to a small room, which would be his for his stay.

After leaving the child on the bed in the small room, the guard also left a note for the child, which gave directions to Drenn`s chambers for when it woke up, as well as explanation for the weapon in it`s hand. The next time they meet, Drenn was planning to get to know the child and where he was from, before continuing his training in the dark side of the force.

 

[fitachi]

Zeref was slowly awakening from his onconciousness, in a room specially for him. Different training wear was everywhere around the room, from hitting dummies to wooden blades. With a deep red colored wall. He hasn't even opened up his eyes and he already felt something within his hand. opened his eyes he felt something pressing within his own hand. He went into a sitting position with his back leaned forward. He opened the palm of his hand as he could see a lightsaber pressed onto his hand. "Is that the lightsaber of before?" The boy thought as he looked at it for a few seconds noticing a note lying onto the table next to his bed, telling him about the room itself and the lightsaber, what was found in his hand. "He passed down to me, his lightsaber?!" The boy whispered to himself. As he had this suprising look onto his face. The boy went out of his bed to find new clothing for him being hanged up against the bed. Those were the sith Acolyte clothings, with all the gear that needed to be on. It was all like new specially made for a kid his size. The boy did all the clothing on, as he was alot happier. He did the lightsaber into the holster on the side of his wraist.

By the suprises the boy have had there could be seen on the closed door a piece of art with the sith code incraved. The boy read it out loud, since he had to completely learn it. "Peace is a lie, there is only passion! Through my passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory my chains are broken. The force shall free me." When he read that once again he did understand it a bit. "The force shall free me? The force .... something on my tongue knows what it is... but why can't I remember it clear..and why am I still alive.."

The boy went after that out of his room back to the chamber of the teacher or master. He knocked onto the door as it was still closed, as he opened the door saying with a kind voice, "Hello mister hmm..." Then the boy remembered that he had never ever heard the name of the man asking it with a more shy voice since he felt embarrashed. It was not that he was getting scared of it anymore. It was now that the man got a certain amount of trust from the boy.

 

[Radiwalker]

When the boy entered Drenn`s chambers, everything had been cleaned up, there was no sign of battle, no drops of blood, or scraps of leatehr from the salve. The only thing that remained was the caving of the sith code upon the wall and the trophy tarentatek head. This time the crusader was not wearing his cloak, rather he was in his battlesuit, covered with a durasteel chest piece and shoulderpad, only on his right shoulder.

The boy was polite, but they hadn`t formally introduced to one another. Even though the togruta didn`t care for such things as names, as they were mostly meaningless, he realised that they were part of the boy`s reality, so he decided to go along with it.

Drenn - "You can call me Drenn, I see you are carrying your new weapon. Good, but you won`t be needing it for now. And what is your name?", while speaking the crusader leaned slightly forwards on his desk, aiming to look intrigued in the boy and the answer. After recieving an answer, he stood up and walked around the desk to where the boy was standing. It was time to begin his training, but first some preparations had to be made. Drenn`s own master had used a technique called force empathy, which helped both control his emotions and speed up his training. The togruta was planning on doing the same. He placed his hands on the child`s shoudlers, while crouching in front of it, bringing their eyes on the same level. The boy would feel Drenn`s emotions as well as the other way around, however with the togruta being stronger, he would be able to control both his and the boy`s emotions.

The link was formed after a moment. The boy would feel lust for blood, power, knowledge, but most of all revenge, against a single person. Those feeling would be feint, but the child should grasp their main ideas. Drenn stood up, while a smirk crossed his face and cold chills ran down his spine, he was about to teach another in the usage of the force. It was exciting for him.

He climbed on his desk and sat on it, crossing his legs and placing his hands on top of his knees. He then motioned to teh child to do the same. The training was about to begin.

Drenn - "I`m first going to teach you how to meditate. You have to take this position and cocentrate. You can concentrate easier by closign your eyes. You have to focus on your energies, then feel your surroundings, let yourself be guided by your own energies. Once you make out each of them and can feel them clearly, try grasping them and lifting them. Lastly you will have to lift both chairs and the desk, which I`m sitting on and while keeping the desk just floating in the air, send each chair to the opposit walls with enough power to crush the chairs to little pieces."

The task would be hard, but the boy had potential, Drenn expected he would put in extra effort, still he used the link between them to transfer confidence and sense of control, while not too much, it should be just enough to give a jump start to the young apprentice for his first training excercise, which would teach him how to meditate and some of the basics of telekinesis.

 

[fitachi]

The boy walked inside and had asked the name of the sith before. The sith answered, as he could hear the man speaking with a interested voice to the boy, Zeref would answer with a happy kind voice, "Well my name is Zeref Du Elgare. It means the Mage Of Darkness! My parents decided to take it since it comes together with the features I got... They said always but they were drunk pigs." The boy smiled as he could see the sith coming closer to him and it was pretty interested still, it made Zeref feel this warm feeling that someone was interested in him and gave so much attention.

He would see the eyesight get focussed on eachother while the concentration was getting more and more intense, just that moment a strange feeling could be felt within the boy. The boy felt suddenly lust for blood, power, knowledge, but most of all revenge. Zeref placed both of his hands on the back side of his head, he was thinking, "What is this.... Why would I want to kill that man... so badly... why do I only think about him now how can that happen?" He felt on his butt and made himself smaller as he leaned forward the boy was sweating pretty hard already. That very moment it happened again, the darkness around the boy returned for a very second. He stood up and the deadstare was contacted with the eyes of the sith. Those dark red pupil was just making the boy be a whole other person. He was clearly angered as it said with a whole different empty voice, "Your playing it that way, huh? hahaha.." The darkness spoke as it disappeared directly, the boy said, "What did you do with me?" but the boy after that kept quiet instantly after that, the boy was slightly more surrounded now with the dark side, but it was nothing yet like the other one with the deadstare.

The boy looked over at the sith, which sat down in a meditation position as the boy would some how feel on what he had to do before any words. He sat down with his legs crossed and his hands placed onto his knees with his back straight and eyes closed. His body was calmer then before only wanting to have knowledge as the boy could keep on feeling it those memories, those people who tried to punish him, but most of all, which was contacted to both of them was one imperial general. The imperial general who took away all the money from his parents long ago at nearly birth, which made his grandmother die because they didn't have enough money to pay for the surgery. The energy in him was slowly concentrated more and more as the force and himself were becoming more and more one all together.

He was extending his hand while the aura around him was deep darkness. As it was said the boy had potential, but it was just to be able to help the boy get used to it in a positive way, and to actually stay controlled. Voices speaking around in his mind of that very moment, "You can't do it... YOU THIEF... You should have never been born in the first place... DIE brat..." As all kinds of negative feelings of fear and pain were getting within his mind. His aura was getting more intense by it as the darkside of the force turned into strength. He extended both of his arms, his hand palms open, pointing over towards the desk and the chairs.

Zeref was trying to levitate those certain things. Yet it had small effect, was it just a fluke on how the boy was somewhat had so much potential? The more he was trying the less effect it had. "Shall we play? Linking to the minds?" The boy had heard within his mind as it was again the empty voice then it vanished. The boy said, "Come on... Levitate" As a tear fell again from his cheek but after a certain moment again it would levitate the smallest of bit.

It was maybe just because it was pure luck? Or was it something else? Who was the actual other person or was it really the force itself helping him out. Maybe the situation of dangerous was the best learn environment of the boy.

 

[Radiwalker]

Drenn was intigued by the child`s name and it`s meaning, it was almost as if his parents meant for him to become a sith and a sorceror at that too. Although maintaining the meditative position and using the link to feed emotions to the boy, while keeping the sustained to a certain ammount, hadn`t closed his eyes and observed as the boy struggled, as he mumbled under his nose, trying to direct his energies, but it wsn`t as effective as it should be. He had a bigger problem with control than Drenn ahd first thought, but there was nothing to worry about that, as the crusader had already seen how the boy acts in stressful situations, so what was needed was another stressful situation.

The togruta focused on the empathy link, however this time sendign waves of emotions, of worry, of fear, of weakness and loneliness. The emotions were so intense that they were enough to create an illusion for the boy, in which he would be placed in a dangerous situation, of course being under the effects of the illusion he might forget about his task, so Drenn used their link to speak to him and guide him.

Drenn - "Remember your task, you have to gain control over your energies and submit it to the energies of the objects around you. You are in control. Now break your chains!"

The sith knew that playing with a child`s mind could be dangerous, so he was wary, prepared to cut off the link at any given moment, so as to not damage the boy`s brain, for he would be useless if such a thing happened, he also did his best to opress the boy`s emotions to such an extent that they wouldn`t overwhelm him like before. All Zeref had to do was focus and gain control, but given the mess in his head, that might not be an easy task for him.

 

[fitachi]

A sudden strange feeling came around him, the room became darker till it was pitch black. He could see far from where he was shadows of the people, he knew passing away, dying all one by one. They were burning all away like thrash. "Stop messing with my head" The boy shouted while he could not hear it from himself. People around him suddenly appeared as they were saying how bad they wanted him to die or rather die then be around him, stepping into pitch black holes or just in the fire. All those painfull moments one after the other flowing past him, creating more situations within his head. Way more stressful than the one from before. It was scorching so much in the mind creating a whole person. The boy was getting so much pain within his body even the other siths would feel it. It was way more then any of those other acolytes out there. The boy collapsed again, it fell straight on the ground and looked over to him. Its eyes were dead starring straight over towards the sith saying, "If you werent my master, I would kill you instantly!" It was somehow point that this was not Zeref somehow, but who was it? Whispering the thing was, "When will you be able to use the thing that your grandmother always wanted too?" Zeref himself was struggling against the hold of such painful emotions. The eyes were now deep dark red all consumed by hatred and anger.

Zeref extended his left arm facing it with his handpalm. The lights were all breaking the glass of them were all shattered while the chairs and the desk were levitating within the air. As he did the same with his other hand the chairs bursted out against the walls. The chairs shattered in smaller parts, but after that something strange happened, through the deep dark voice of the thing having taken over Zeref, it had the average voice of the little boy himself in it, "You wont gain control over me.." The boy said as slowly the eyes were changing. The chair parts levitating in huge circles again the walls becoming smaller parts by the second. Just a few moments after that the kid his body fell onto the ground smashing against it, "STOP MESSING WITH MY HEAD!" the boy said choatic as it slowly seemed like the boy did gain control but lied on the ground, with tears falling, not knowing if those painfull illusions would continue on his head.

 

[Radiwalker]

Drenn observed as the boy struggled against the tortures, he was overwhelmed, but still completed the task and even manaed to attain some control over his dark self. The togruta smiled, as he stopped flooding the child`s mind with bad feelings and instead sent some of happiness, joy, confidence and success. The boy was still to learn to control his emotions and that would be hard, but Drenn had an idea of how to do it. First he waited to see if Zeref was alright, while he stepped off the desk, as everything in the room was still floating.

Drenn - "Stand up. You have done well, but you can do better. There is no time for rest, much work has to be done for you to be able to control yourself and only once you do, wil lyou be able to obtain the power to protect whats dear to you."

Drenn was confident that the boy would go far. However his dark side was something very interesting. It seemed it perhaps wanted to try and tkill Drenn, however, the child wouldn`t allow it, that means it`s beginning to have some control, now it was just a matter of time. The next part of the training would be to teach Zeref force empathy, for it will help him control his emotions, just like it helped Drenn.

The boy rolling over the ground with fearsful emotions within his mind unable to get control over what his master Drenn was doing to him, but all of a sudden the painful memories were fading away. Lying onto the ground as he smiled about the happy memories, they were with his grandmother who took care of him for the youngest years of his life. The concentration was broken and all the parts and the desk slammed onto the ground. Zeref stood up but rejected what was said, "I don't want to protect anyone..."

While he kept on getting calmer so did his breathing and his whole body aura became back to normal, "Mister Drenn, what will we be doing next..."

Drenn first thought that the boy lacked the ability to control his emotions, however it may not be that. It seem that Zeref was confused, purposless, perhaps even feeling useless. He needed a goal, something to strive for, Drenn could only bring out the boy`s will to fight in situations in which his life was in peril, but he needed more, everybody needs more than just survival for motivation. Before going on with the training, the togruta would have to help the boy find his purpose and through that perhaps start forming that link between master and student.

Drenn - "What is your purpose? Why do you live? You must answer those two questions before you are able to control your emotions. I can teach you how to control them with the force, but that wouldn`t help, if you aren`t concentrated on a goal for which`s sake you`d use the power. I understand this is not an easy question, so I give you time until tomorrow, to go to the library and read, or medidate, or just walk around. Whatever you do, when you come in here tomorrow, I want you to have at least three goals, reasons or purposes to keep living and strive to become greater."

Motivation was what the boy lacked most of all. Perhaps if he educated himself a bit, he would find purpose and go head first into tomorrow`s training session, doing his best to overcome the tasks which Drenn was already thinking of. Of course the crusader would keep a close eye on the boy, through the force, to ensure that he wouldn`t do anything stupid.

On the next day, when the boy walks in the room, he would find that everything is cleaned up and two new chairs have taken the places of the old once, Drenn would be sitting behind his desk, reading something, not paying attention to what`s happening around him. His lightsaber would be placed on the desk beside him. The silver slim, light hilt, reflecting the light of the lamp, it was longer than that of Zeref`s weapons, meaning that Drenn`s lightsaber was a double-bladed one. But why was it on the table, that remained to be seen.

Zeref listened to his master, hearing that the master was not liking the answer of the young sith at all. The boy had some idea about goals. They were easy, yet complicated. The boy went to his room and slept for the night peacefully, regaining his exhausted body of the first day of his Sith training with his master. Just as the boy did on his clothes and went back to the chambers, he saw a double bladed lightsaber. Zeref looked at it, his eyes glarring at it as for a minor 100th of a second a red glare appeared and disappeared within his head, "Hmm, this day will be interesting... boy!" The boy came closer as he said, "Greetings master Drenn, my goals are as followed, survival, staying alive aslong as I want to be, justifying the galaxy." The boy said with a neutral voice while his mind kept on focused onto the lightsaber.

Drenn raised his head, as he heard his apprentice speak. He knew that the boy hadn`t learned anything, but he did present three goals. They were centered around survival, as the togruta had expected. He raised an eyebrow, as he stood up. He wanted to make his apprentice think, or read and discover more about himslelf, instead he had prefered to sleep and rest and try to present an incompleted task as if it were completed. That was unacceptable. The togruta stood up and cracked his fingers pointing them at the young Zeref.

Drenn - "So you like to rest? Well I guess I will have to teach you to control your emotions the hard way. In the next few moments you shall feel extreme pain. I want you to channel that pain and imbune it with the force, surging it through your body until it reaches your fingertips at which point you will have to let it leave your body and thus create a force lightening. I will show you how that is done. You will have three attempts. If you fail, I will kill you."

Drenn`s voice was calm, serious and tactful, he was no doubt going to kill the boy if it failed. As soon as he had finished talking he channeled his own hatred and anger into his fingers, imbuning them with the force and releasing a force lightening, that would be enough to wound Zeref and anger him, but not even close to knocking him unconscious or killing him. The crusader aimed to trigger the boy`s survival instincts, for if it didn`t manage to control his emotions he wouldn`t be able to conjure a force lightening and that would ultimately lead to his death. So his survival now solely depended on his ability to control the darkness within him and use it.

The togruta kept his hands extended, ready to defend himself, as he expected the boy to succeed, if not from the first, then the second attempt. The togruta had been reading about a force power himself and wanted to try it out. What better way than against his own apprentice. It was a perfect setting for them both to learn something new and the boy to show his true potential.
