Garyth's Training (Shade)

[Certh]

"Ah, sounds simple enough"

Garyth said to himself as he walked toward the man and reached his hand up and then punches the man till he is bleeding. It took several blows, but Garyth made sure that it never hurt his hand via broken bones, or any of the sort.

"Done.."

A grin grew on his face as he glanced down at the lifeless body, then to the woman.

 

[Emma Lou]

Aleyn did not know what to say. That was not the reaction she was expecting. Usually they would use lightning, as she had once, but her apprentice had just punched a man to death.

"What made you chose that tactic?"

The scene disappeared and returned to the training.

 

[Certh]

Garyth looked confused as he had never had to use the force until it was needed.

"I only use the Force when it is needed, and I wanted to see his face when I killed him. Because if I were to have used the force, that wouldn't have been possible."

 

[Emma Lou]

Aleyn nodded, her face was serious now.

"There are two problems with that. First, we are not the Sith. We do not delight in killing or do we choose to beat a man to death. Second, you have joined the Shade Order to learn about the Force and how to wield it. I would suggest you use the Force"

She closed her eyes and disappeared. The scene was the same except this time it was the women who was holding the knife and the man that was crying for help. This would be interesting.

 

[Certh]

"Hm, alright then"

Garyth walked slowly, like he had something to hide within himself, the anger from before, the loneliness.. He paced his walking speed to that of almost a turtle. When he had gotten close enough he raised one of his hands and gripped the woman by the throat, and tossed her from side to side, nailing her on the walls, then he scraped her across the ground, colliding with debris and rocks and whatever else was on the floor... He then walked up toward the woman, her body, lying there, almost lifeless.. He then gracefully walks up to her and choke's her via force grip, but focuses on her throat, tightening up her tubes, making her not breathe. Moments later she died...

 

[Emma Lou]

Aleyn did not understand what part he did not understand, but she was starting to get frustrated.

"We do not kill! If you believe killing is the only way then this is the wrong place for you"

Her voice was harsher than before. She stood, slightly, and waited for what he had to say.

 

[Certh]

"All right, I'm sorry... Want me to try it again?"

What his master said hit him hard, he never knew that he was supposed to leave them alive...

 

[Emma Lou]

((Can you not read?))

"Yes"

She created the image again and waited. If he failed this then he would be looking for a new career.

 

[Certh]

Garyth, getting frustrated at this scenario over and over. He walked toward the woman holding the knife and then used force lightning: the lightning stood for all of the anger and hatred that had been in his life, just letting it go caused this ray of lightning to appear from his fingertips. It never killed the woman, just left her unconscious. Garyth then walked over to the woman's body lieing on the ground and took the knife away, throwing it into a tree to the south.

"How is that?"

 

[Emma Lou]

Aleyn was still slightly annoyed, but at least he had finally gotten the point of this exercise.

"Better. It's about time you decided to listen to me"

She paced around the room and dropped the illusion.

"I am a little disturbed that you have such an anger issue. Why does your anger flair up so much?"

 

[Certh]

"Well I guess it is from my childhood, my parents got rid of me and I guess that just took a toll on me over time.."

Garyth's eyes suddenly became glassy, and his eyes turned upon his master..

"Have you ever have that happen? Have so much anger built up in your life that you just want to unleash it?"

 

[Emma Lou]

Aleyn nodded. She had certainly had her fill of anger inducing incidents, but those had never led to murder. She had learned to control her anger and she would teach him the same.

"Yes, I have had many incidents"

She indicated her face and then her palm. Both places were covered by beautiful tattoos.

"I was attacked once and vowed to make the people pay, but I never found them. I have learned that I cannot let anger fuel my life. I gave up on trying to kill them and decided to live my life without anger and revenge on my mind"

 

[Certh]

"Hm, sounds like your telling me I should do the same, as the Shade Order utilizes both sides of the force and not just one..."

 

[Emma Lou]

"Exactly, I am glad that you have decided to catch on"

She smiled and thought of how to continue.

"I will test your anger when you least expect it. Now, I am going to teach you about mediation. This power will help you control your anger more than you expect. Sit down and close your eyes"

 

[Certh]

"Alright.."

He said under his breath as he sat down on the hard stone floor, crossing his legs then looked up to his master..

 

[Emma Lou]

"And close your eyes"

She snapped. Her patience had already been tested enough with the anger test. She took a deep breath, apologized, and continued.

"Mediation helps replenish everything you lose. It is a very important part of training. I want you to focus on one thing and not let your mind wander. Make sure you control your breathing and you should feel yourself being more energized"

 

[Certh]

"Mhm okay"

Garyth then closes his eyes and concentrates on one thing: What the world would be like if nothing had gone wrong. A few minutes afterward he could feel a type of energy flowing into his body, like he was charging up for something...

 

[Emma Lou]

Aleyn could tell that it was working, she smiled. This was good. This was what was supposed to happen and it seemed to come easily to him. Good. Now it was time to move on.

"Next, I will teach you something very important. You must concentrate on it very hard"

She took a small vibrodagger and looked at him.

"It is Force Heal. You are going to have to focus on the wound and use the Force to heal the wound"

She took the dagger and winced as she drew it up her arm. It was not that bad and she could heal it quickly if he failed.

 

[Certh]

"Alright"

He nodded accordingly and then took a few steps and stopped near his masters feet, and put out his hands and held them up to her wound. He could feel the force emitting from his body, like an aura. It filled his hands and then filled the wound with an energy that could heal any minor cut or wound. Moments later the gouge was healed, not even a scar left behind.

 

[Emma Lou]

Aleyn looked down at her arm and smiled.

"Excellent"

She knew it was now time to advance to the final stages of training. It was time to learn how to fight.

"It is now time to learn lightsaber combat. There are seven styles of combat. I want you to tell me which word describes you: determination, contention, resilience, aggression, perseverance, moderation or ferocity?"
