The most unusual meeting

[Shroud]

On an unusually dark day on Korriban Shroud went out and leaned on a railing. Shroud hadn't been out alone since he arrived in Korriban, but today he had an unusual feeling, and decided to come outside.

Shroud said aloud, "Ugh, I've been on this planet for a few day, and there is nothing to do at all."

 

[Fusion]

Circe had been leaning against a relatively comfortable brick wall when she heard and saw Shroud walking by, hearing his plight.

There's plenty for you to do if you know the right people...

Her dress was revealing, a 2-piece that appeared to be burning with purple fire that licked at her body, but did not burn her.

 

[Shroud]

Shroud turned and saw the woman leaning against the wall, "Oh. And who are the right people then?" He tried avoiding it, but he couldn't help but stare.

 

[Fusion]

You're talking to one of them right now.

Circe smiled as she got closer to Shroud, looking at him eye to eye.

Circe Savan, pleased to meet you.

 

[Shroud]

Shroud noticed this women was not a normal one as she approached him. As she got closer Shroud locked eye contact with her and said, "My name is Shroud, but my last name is unknown."

 

[Fusion]

Pleased to meet you, Shroud.

Circe looked at the young man, her mind deep in thought.

If I told you how to gain a power you could use to force other sentients to submit to your every whim, would you be willing to learn it from me?

 

[Shroud]

Shroud looked at the lady with an odd looking face and said, "Naturally I would be.. but I'm no fool. I know everything comes with a price. So what is yours?"

 

[Fusion]

With a devious grin on her face, Circe put her arm around Shroud's shoulder.

You will submit your self to me as my apprentice. You shall do what I ask, and be taught and rewarded in turn. As a result, you will grow in he Dark Side until you will have the power to control and persuade thousands of minds to follow your every whim. Do you accept?

Circe offered her right hand to Shroud in order to solidify his trust in her.

 

[Shroud]

Shroud reached out and shook Circe's hand. Shroud then said, "I accept that agreement."

 

[Fusion]

Alright then... Let's walk and talk.

Circe began to walk with her arm over Shroud's shoulder.

Well, what do you want to learn first, my apprentice?

 

[Shroud]

Shroud thought for a second, and then he responded, "How about force Lightning?"

 

[Fusion]

Circe responded simply by summoning a bolt of blue lightning to her hand, which carefully went back and forth between her hands, moving in front of Shroud's face, him almost being tickled by the electricity of the lightning.

It's rather simple. You must focus on your emotions and let them manifest themselves in the form of an electrical discharge.

 

[Shroud]

Shroud concentrated on it as hard as he could. He tried to increase the power of his force shock by concentrating his emotions in the form of lightning.

Shroud said, "Hey I think I'm starting to get it."

 

[Fusion]

You're doing well, and as such you deserve a reward...

Circe smiled as she kissed Shroud on the cheek. Her method this time was a bit less... explicit... but it appeared to be working.

 

[Shroud]

Shroud pushes Circe away and gives her a dirty look and says, "Please do not ever do that again." Shroud then attempts to shoot the force lightning.

 

[Fusion]

You don't exactly understand my training regimen then...

Circe watched as he produced a relatively large spark of lightning from his fingers. It was enough to stun someone's neural pathways for a bit and incapacitate them. She was impressed.

 

[Shroud]

Shroud looked at her and then said, "Could you please teach me how to use force illusion now?"

 

[Fusion]

Well, illusion-crafting will require several steps worth of teaching. First, focus on an object. Any small, simple object. Focus on bringing the light together to where the object appears to exist in your open hand.

Circe held out her hand and effortlessly produced a small datapad, a splendid illusion that took little effort for her to make. For him, she would wait and see what he could produce.

 

[Shroud]

Shroud picked up a tiny rock and attempted to use force illusion at first he didn't succeed.

 

[Fusion]

Keep trying. Focus your emotions into it and make this tiny and miniscule rock a reasonably sized boulder.

Circe egged her apprentice on. She knew he would be capable of doing it.
