The Calling (The Training of Rixxen Starkill)

[Count Sam]

"hmmm...not bad. But now I want you to sit down, and meditate. Try to remember everything bad that happened in your life. In other words I want you to bring on your strong emotions"

 

[SilentKill]

Rixxen nodded before sitting down before his master. With legs crossed and his fists laying upon his knees he sat straight up with his eyes closed. He inhaled, then exhaled before reliving his harsh moments in his life. He first thought about the massacre of his family, which he vaguely could remember, a hooded figure was all he could see before his deceased parents. Blood everywhere, he too was drenched in blood, tears started to run down his face, he clenched his jaws, still trying hard to make out his blurry face.. He started to shake little at first, but before long his trembling became severe! "Arghh..." He remember the pain he felt as the man lifted his small body with a grimace look across his face.. Rixxen was too weak to do anything. With little effort the man through his small pathetic body down into the abyss.... Darkness was all that surrounded him.....

He could not give up! Focusing all his anger toward this dark form, he started to see a haze of red surround his falling body... Was this the power which was inside him? He still fell but this time he could see something, another cloaked figure which look similar to the man who destroyed his future... He continued to fall only to see that the figure was getting bigger and bigger..

Finally he landed onto the black surface.. He was before this man now, his hand reached out for him, as if to help him up... Cautiously Rixxen accepted only to see that this man was him, older of course but undeniably it was Rixxen, older and more evil than he could imagine.. This was his power that was trapped inside him, and he was staring here at himself in the future...

Rixxen opened his eyes, only to see his master before him.. He face was grim now with what power of evil he had just seen..

 

[Count Sam]

"good job" Tahn said, as he laughed loudly across the temple. His voice was echoed every where which made him sound a little bit terrifying."okay next I want you to go outside, and meditate again. But this time you will be doing in the cold, so yeah you are likely to die specially that you are not wearing any clothes" Tahn spoke in a mocking tone to his apprentice.

"but if you survived I will teach you the ways of the bogan"

 

[SilentKill]

Rixxen's evil smile fell to a distasteful frown.. Meditating in the cold was particularly not his idea of fun, or training.. He nodded, figuring that this was a test of endurance and durability.. "Yes master.." He was already without garments and had no feelings of embarrassment.. He left the room and made his way towards the exit, infront of the temple he cold see the chilling terrain.. He looked to his left, seeing a large hill secluded and unwavered by any of the world.. He made it to the summit and sat down in the middle, legs crossed and hands resting on his knees. He shivered once then sighed before concentrating on the force within him...

After tapping into this realm of darkness he had reserved inside his head he could no longer feel the shivering knives that stabbed his bare body. Again he saw his older form, also bare and was sitting next to him. He looked at himself, then stood before the younger RIxxen. Grabbing his hand and helping his younger self up. He opened his palm then thrusted it forward into the blackness. A bolt of electricity shot from out of his hand disappearing into oblivion. Young Rixxen looked and awed, this power was within him? Young RIxxen extended his hand, concentrating his energy onto his emotions he visualized himself shooting electricty from his palm, and within moments he released an emmence bolt that exceded farther than his older form had done... Closing his hand into a fist he felt all his energy fade away... and before long he fell again into the abyss.. floating, gliding, falling... into nothing... until... Opening his eyes he could see that it had been a days passed since he had been meditating..

His body, iced over, blue infact chissled when he moved.. Breaking free from the ice his body yawned as he stretched out before walking back to the temple.. Slowly walking into the room where he left his master, his eyes traced the room for his master.. "I am alive master."

 

[Count Sam]

"hahaha... good. Very good indeed" Tahn said as he clapped both of his hands in pleasure. That was indeed one of the most important challenges that Tahn liked to give to some of his apprentices.

"alright Rixxen now I would like you to tell me what do you know about the force?"

 

[SilentKill]

"I don't know much about the force.. only things that they said in those archives... but I can feel a lingering energy around me. Its almost as if I tried I could manipulate it and do great things... in my meditation I believe I saw my future self as if I was trying to reveal something to myself.. a power that I craved... that I believe is the force..."

 

[Count Sam]

"the force is an imaginary creature that bounds the unvierse together. Or at least that is how I see it from my point of view. It is actually a strong weapon, no a deadly weapon that can prove to be very useful in the hands of the right person." Tahn spoke out loud to his apprentice.

"so tell me what would you do if you were a master of the force? would you let the force guide you, and follow its lead, or would you use it to do what you want to do?" Tahn spoke to his apprentice again.

 

[SilentKill]

"I would use it seek revenge for my fallen brothers!" His anger had no subsided, he was not sure what was the right answer, but he could see no use in lying to his master.. "What way would make me stronger?"

 

[Count Sam]

"well...your answer was probably the one I seeked" Tahn spoke in an unfriendly tone to his apprentice.

"That is probably the right way to deal with the force. Unlike the pathetic jedi we just do not sit in our temples, and meditate waiting for the force to guid us. Simply the force is a weapon that we shall control, and use"Tahn spoke out loud. Explaining everything to his apprentice.

He then took out a stone from his pocket, and showed it to his apprentice."I want you to use the force to pull this stone to you. You can simply do that by concentrating the force on your palm. Also do not forget to use your hatred, pain, and other strong emotions to motivate you"

 

[SilentKill]

Rixxen looked at the stone in his masters palm. The force eh? He raised his hand up facing his palm toward the stone.. He took a deep breath before he started to concentrate on the stone.. Remember the feelings that had erupted when he had been through his dark revelation, he concentrated his energy into that stone. Slowly the stone began to shake the within moments the stone jolted into his palm. Wincing and looking away for the pain was so sudden, he then looked back at his master, hoping he had please him.

 

[Count Sam]

"now I want you to use the force again, but this time I want you to push it toward me"

 

[SilentKill]

Rixxen did as his master commanded. Opening his palm he summoned the energy of the force to send the stone back to his master. Slowly and controlled the stone levitated towards his master.

 

[Count Sam]

"good job. Now you shall use the force again on the stone, but this time I actually want you to keep the stone flooting. This might be harder, but it would be easy if you used your anger, and hate."

 

[SilentKill]

Keep it floating eh? Rixxen smirked with confidence, this power felt all to familiar to him after being exposed to its existence. Rixxen raised his right hand, focusing on the stone once more. Concentrating, flexing his lower muscles almost in short spasms as if it were straining him physically the stone came afloat. Soong his ever confident smile fell to exhaustion as he had to put more effort in making it stay afloat..

 

[Count Sam]

"hmm good job good job" Tahn said in a pleased tone."Now I want you to concentrate the force in your leg, and start running." he added.

 

[SilentKill]

"Run Master?" He looked about the room, it wasnt so big that he could just run about the room freely. Although it did have considerable size he would have to be careful not to run into the walls.

He focused his energy, summoning this energy almost became second nature to him when he tried. He focused this energy to his legs, stancing himself to start his full sprint, left leg forward crouched, right leg back.

Releasing into a sprint he only used a short burst of energy, just enough to make him run forward a couple feet before attempting to stop before the wall. Success greeted him as he pivoted himself letting the momentum turn him around and his right heal landed on the far wall.

Pushing off the wall he ran back over to his master stopping right infront of him, a smile curved his lips for approval.

 

[Count Sam]

If Tahn was a Jedi he would have simply smiled back at his apprentice, but no he was different. He was a crusader of the dark side, not a pathetic Knight of the Jedi. That is why he quickly turned around ignoring his apprentice's smile.

"alright that is enough for today. I want you to go back to your room, and put on the black robes you will find on your bed. Also as soon as you wake up I would like you to meet me at the sparring room" Tahn said in an emotionless tone.
