THe illumination (Darth Viator's training)

[Will]

Ren waited in the arena. Her next acolyte would come soon. She counted that off as the fifth. So much she had for this damned order, and she had received nothing. She knew this was the same for Enishi, the other Sith knight, and the only other trainer. She waited, for the new one. One whom had given himself the Darth title. She would rip that from him. She smiled, looking forward to the this one...

 

[Kaine]

Darth Viator walked into the room, finally he could study further in the ways of the dark side and gain a greater understand of what he had seen in that temple "I'm ready to be trained master" though his tone was formal he did not give a bow to his master, he did not straighten up but took a relaxed posture

 

[Will]

Rne stepped up close, and backhanded him to the floor, savouring the sight of him falling to the ground. ''You are no Darth. Remember that. Now. Recite the Sith code.'' She stood him up with the force, turning her back to him to face her puppets.

 

[Kaine]

"If you didn't want me to call myself Darth then the Sith shouldn't have had it written all over the temple wall" Viator mutterred as he stood up "the Sith code" he began "says" he stopped for a moment to think about this "'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" he struggled getting it out and took a bit longer then most would

 

[Will]

Ren heard the muttering. ''Even an idiot would have realised the improtance of the title!'' She crushed him down to the ground. ''Now, tell me your interpretation of the code.'' True rage flared in her eyes. Such insubordination...

 

[Kaine]

"puh..power" Viator started "power is good, restraint is bad" he tried fighting against the pressure but with no success "by being free with my passion I can gain power and thus become free"

 

[Will]

Ren released the pressure. ''Good. That will do. Now. Do you know any force powers?'' She ran her index finger over one of her puppets, that dark light of the arena reflecting dully off their metal bodies.

 

[Kaine]

"Not many" Viator said "all I have is what I could get from a temple I found" he went on, "I can do the basics such as push and pull but I couldn't decipher any of the really good stuff that was in the pictures"

 

[Will]

''Show me'' She simply ordered, indicating to show the powers on the crate to her left, heavy iron banding pitted and scarred from countless beating.

 

[Kaine]

Viator extended his hand and the crate started to lift but not very high, his expression grew a bit tense and he resorted to using his second hand as well. He felt annoyed he had to do so this early but the crate was moving up at a steady rate at least

 

[Will]

''Ok, now push it into the wall, and try to shatter it.'' Ren rpelied. He seemed to be struggling. He would need alot of practice to get it right.

 

[Kaine]

Getting irritated at how hard it was maintaing controll over a simple box was Viator thurst with his arms as hard as he could, his hands curled like claws he repeatedly thrust out with his arms. "Why, wont this thing break" his words came out through gritted teeth, he moved his arms back and then angrily swung them around smashing the box against the wall

 

[Will]

''Harness your anger, and channel it into your powers.'' The box exercise was a good method of showing how the force could be improved with anger. The box was in fact, made of durasteel, and very hard to break. The mroe they tried, the angrier they got. Simple

 

[Kaine]

Viator concentrated on his life back on his home planet, he unwittingly started saying his thoughts out loud "I was a bone in my settlement, another Nomadic tribe came, they took our food, kidnapped some women" the box hit the wall harder and harder as he described this memory "they burnt our settlement to the ground and left us with nothing, nothing but pain" his voice was filled with anger and the box was smashing against the wall with a much greater intensity

 

[Will]

Ren watched as cracks formed. She took the box, ripping it from his force grip, and placed it down. ''Good. Anger fuels the Sith. The foolish jedi do not realise this, and use a shadow of the power we have. Now, channel the power to the base of your feet, and jump. As you jump, release it.''

 

[Kaine]

Viator stedied himself after heaving the huge wait ripped from him suddenly. He focused his energy down his legs and jumped, releasing it, he went higher then he had manage to jump before but for a sith it was average "that was fun" he said when he landed "and I bet I can jump higher"

 

[Will]

''Then do so. Always strive for better. That is the only way to achieve here.'' She replied, unsmiling.

 

[Kaine]

He put more energy into the jump and managed to get a bit higher. "I need to have a happy place" Viator thought out loud "except a place of pain and anger instead of happyness" thinking on darker moments in his life he tried a few more times and made some improvement

 

[Will]

''Physical pain hels to fuel you as well.'' Ren threw a knife, the blade cutting his leg as it flew past, embedding the opposite wall. Blood welled from the wound. ''Feel the pain fuel you, let it fill you, and use it to fuel your power.'' She said.

 

[Kaine]

Viator gritted his teeth and answered "did it have to be my leg? I kind of need that for jumping" never the less he did as he was told and used the anger and the pain he was given to boost his jump and landed feeling satisfied in his improvement
