Teach? Maybe some theory... After all learning all skills but no knowledge of what the Covenant are fighting for, will only leads the student astray. Something that he could have deem dangerous. He referred to the Code of Conduct for the Templars. "Tell me, is there anything you are unsure of in the Rules laid for the templars?"

"I do," Zeelin said as she came up behind the two, shorter than them ina way that just strengthened the image of her youngness. "What excatly are these...legions? It sound like there would have to be lots of people to have a legion."

"No exactly. Legions are a creation by our ancestors... Much to divide groups up in different might and strength. For example, one recorded in the 'Red Thirst' legion was filled with warriors specialising in close- combat capabilities. But they hardly uses force-power and their combat skills are usually offensive. Naturally, this divide the Order up and the High Council can decide which Legion is best suited for what mission, and what is to do to eradicate their individual weakness. Meanwhile, a disciple can follow which ever route he wants to choose as a Legion. He can then approaches a master and learn their skill, and be under them... Therefore, usually, a Disciple chooses his or her master... This allow more choices for the new Acolyte and let them learn whatever or whichever they are best and interested in.
However, the Covenant had just began. Despite the fact that many hidden chapters of the Ancient Legion Relics still exist, it could also be nice to began a new one. Namely, you two, the first few had fallen into one of the Legion, 'The Seraph'. But when you graduate as a master, you will depart from me, form your own legion and train your disciple... A legion may have a small as three to over a hundred members. But usually such numbers are rare and not advisable..."

Haxus began to think as he heard their conversation. If I were to become a Templar, what would I teach my student? He asked himself. Well I am good with a blaster and lightsaber, so I could teach them that. And I would teach them about the force, and what my master is teaching me. But what would make be diffrent..from the other Templars. I guess I could push my teaching a little moree to the darker side of the force. no...no...they are equal. He still had troubles calling all force powers equal, he was so used to the light and dark side. After a few more minutes of thought, he turned his attention to his master. " May we continue our training master?" he asked Sky.

This apprentice is in unease. All his mind are thinking of training. He wanted strength, to grow stronger. "Training you say? But is training so important? What is the use if you were extremely strong, but lost in your ways and your goals in life?
AFter all... You had already gained strength that the Sith and Jedi can never teach within a month. You are already a month stronger in a day. Is being strong all that important?" It is a question, not a teaching. To decide his path in life. "Why do you want so much strength? For what reasons?"

Haxus thought about this before answering. " Why do I want strength?" He asked himself. " To protect the Covenant, to protect the ones I care about, and to protect myself."

((Venok? Ain't you Haxus or something?)) A good reply. For the covenant, throughout the ages. There is only one quest for all... To protect, to defend those that are valuable to them. Much unlike the Jedi who protect anything they deem worthy and important to protect. Obviously he had grew. "Well then... I am going to teach you offensive Force." He went to one of the shelves and took a thick book out. It was covered in dusts. The Book of Elemental Control. "This book is an ancient product by a great templar that stated that whatever element it is, dark or light, fire or wind, electric or water, or any others, are not define as their each. The Force created the Universe, and thus the Force held no true form. It is like an energy. And whether is it fire, wind, electric, water, earth and every single things, it is controlled by energy. Energy cannot be destroyed or created, but only chanelled from one point to another. The main elemental of Dark and Light is the only things that doesn't need energy. Painly for the fact that it does not EVEN EXIST AT ALL. That we will go through later." This will be a good start. To show how Darkness and Light are just pure imagination created by the human's mind. This will lead Haxus away from the darkside. "Mainly everythings on the universe are made up of elements. And there are a few kinds. One of them is the scientific elements, which are atoms that cannot be further divided into smaller molecules. Secondly, are the ancient beliefs where everything were created out of them. Which are half truth.
Fire. Shall be out first step. Fire gave us light. And stars, produces solar flames to light our life. Changing the difference between light and darkness. Without fire, it is darkness, with it, it is light. Which means that Fire is light. And nothing is pratically darkness. Therefore, for both, none existed. Fire is a great weapon in life. Then absorbs the victim's flesh and scarred it. The heat and pain will be so unbearable that such death will be one of the most torturous. Fire feeds on oxygen. A type of scientific element. And also, the wind determines its strength. Love to distance is like wind is to fire. It extinguishes the small and rekindle the great. A small fire can be easily be gone under the wind, while a great fire will grow stronger. Do you understand?" This is the first step. The next steps are pratical.

(( Ha..ya sorry...thats another character..))
Haxus gave thought to what Sky was telling him. " Yes I understand" he told Sky. But he would have to get used to calling the force, just that. He had heard light and dark so much it was normal to him. But he would just have to call them the force..and use them as one.

((Heh~)) He gave Haxus awhile to think, then continued. "Eons ago, with the very first Jedi and Force-Users, they are actually first referred as wizards. Some 25, 000 years before the Battle of Yavin, Jedi required generations to master the Force. Bit by bit, they discovered its secrets until they understood how to consistently attain the same results when using it, proving to themselves and the rest of the civilized galaxy that the Force was neither a hoax nor a fluke. What had once been a way of performing "wizardry" was now a recognized science- at least, among the Jedi
((True history recorded in the "Star Wars: Roleplaying Game- Power of the Jedi Sourcebook" written by JD Wiker, Michael Mikaelian, Jeff Grubb, Owen K. C. Stephens, James Maliszewski.))
Among the first few creations are the 'Wizards' applications of the Force through their elements. Those teachings had been lost throughout the years, except only a few remained. For example, 'Force lightning' which are utilised by the Sith. The elements came in many forms, and each had their own set of basic element. But the few basic are 'fire', 'water', 'wind', 'earth'. 'Lightnings', 'illusion', 'soul', 'ice' are some of the other versions that were less famous. Eventually most things are catagorised up to six elemental. They are, the four basic, and then later included light and darkness. Which are more of a creations, rather than an element. Arguementatively, light and darkness are what we called as the 'elemental soul'. They doesn't exist, and how the four elements are utilised determine whether the art of 'magic' are light or dark." ((The next part are lies. But we won't know will we?))

And he said theit reminded him of water and wind, because of the the way i moved was fluid and eratic at the same time." Zeelin said. "Do you think it's possible to take on the characteristics of an element? Like be as fast as the wind or lighting? Or be as strong as metal?" Zeelin paused for a mintue and then said, "But isn't there really dark and light? Not in the sense of bad and good or in relation to any side of the force or a mind set, but just light as in light istelf and dark, or shadow, which is just the absence of light. Wouldn't those be just as much as fire? You said yourself that fire casts light, so couldn't that kind of light be an element that we could control? Because it we could control that kind of light and shadow, then we could blind an opponent with intense brightness or take away their world be casting shadows around them that blocked out light."

Haxus gave it more thought beforee speaking. " So, must I learn all of these elements. Or can I be proficient in only one?" He asked. He was already thinking to far into his future, and he knew it. He was to be proficient in combat skills, while using the force to help him in combat. He would put much training in unarmed combat, and learn the echani fighting styles. Then using the dark side...no ...no... study the lightning element and focus it on his hands and feet to give his strikes more power. But where to learn the ways of the Echani? He thought to himself. But it didn't matter now, he continued his dream. He would create an armor using the Jal shey design to help him in combat without disrupting his force powers. Then he would be able to protect the Covenant and others. But thsi was only his dream, he had to think about the present. And so he waited for Master Sky to continue his lesson.

The Master smiled. The two apprentice wants to learn more... And the histories of this skills are by any means, not a short one. "Well Zeelin. Master Yoda once told Luke Skywalker, a great Jedi Master, that 'size matters not'. In the same way, in the Force, there are no limits to almost everything one can do with channeling the spell. You could be as fast as the wind or lightning at your will... But think again. If anyone was really that strong, no one else would be able to stop them. The Force had created us in such a way that none could dominate over the other. The Force creates us in balance. But throughout the millenium, we had disturb the balance. That laid only one thing of reason why we cannot move as fast as the wind or the lightning. Basically for the fact that, it is our physical limits. Our body will not be able to withstand such speed. And we could only enpower ourselves to a certain speed that the Sith or the Jedi both likewise had." And now for the second question. "Light and darkness could subjectively exist as an element. But, they never existed. In the ancient relic, there were quotes of the enemies of the Templar, being able to call upon darkness and cover them with despair and fear. Or some, able to conjure out light to blind their foes in sudden moment. Such, was later rediscovered, as science. For example, Nejaa Erin, a Cleric in the ancient past, had a fight with one of those 'light bearers'. They fought within this extreme dark cave. Nejaa was wining despite the darkness as she could feel her way through the Force. Fought in desperate measures, the enemy utislise an ancient magic skill to brighten the cave up. It did. It blinded Nejaa, but she still won, because despite her temporarily blindness, she let her Force to gain her victory much like what she did in the darkness she had been fighting. It was later realised that there is no such magic. And instead, those 'disciple of such ancient light' when under threat, could fall back to this crystalis place. Then, they could lure the enemy deep within. At they call, a certain mechanism will on a flashlight. As it shone upon the crystal, the light reflected in all direction, blinding the opponent." Phew. "Likewise in the dark arts, the practisers spray out dark gases, killing and suffocating their enemies and usually themselves. But if you could create a lightning, you can still blind your opponent. And for darkness, I am afraid that will be more impossible to gasp. For darkness itself is nothing. Unless you could drain everything Force and energy out from an area, I am afraid, that such arts will never be possible." And Haxus. "As for Haxus, you can learn all of these elements or be proficient in only one. It all depend on your interest." He wants to be sure that both of them are cleared from doubts to began training.

Great, then I will train in the lightning element, he thought. But how would he learn the echani way of fighting? " Master, do you know of anyone who could teach me to fight like the Echani?" he asked. " I wish to be proficient in unarmed combat and lightsaber dualing".

"Echani?" He was abit stunned by the choice of taste Haxus have. A special one. The Echani are a mysterious race of well thought fighters trained to construct barriers in their minds in order to resist force based powers. They are also trained in hand-to-hand combat. Those belongs to the Jedi teachings. And the Echani was at its rise during the Knight of the Old Republic era, where the five Echani Handmaiden sisters walked upon the universe, leaving a legacy so proud of by many... "Such teachings were long lost within thousands of years forgotten in time. Today it was brought up, from its ancient slumber, by you Haxus." He paused for awhile. "However, the Echani ways of fighting were long lost. But of course you could start a prilgrim to recover the lost relics. Or rather, you could began your own form of Echani fighter style. " He needs to aid his apprentice of whatevery goals he seeked for. It is the duty of the master... "Unarmed combat was designed back at the days where lightsabers were in scarcity. Or way back at the ancient past. They utilised the Force to strengthen them physically, and use amazing feats to defeat enemies. To learn so, you must first complete your physical strength. Then I will teach you to combine the element to your cause..." "The four main elements are:
Fire
Water
Wind
Earth
The followers of Wind, believes in agility, speed and quick decisive intelligence. They are dextrous and flexible. They can be the greatest ally or the most dangerous foe. They bend energies to their likings, changes the route of the Force through their adept mind in the quickest speed to their advantage. Many famous roles fall into this catagory. Like lightnings or illusion.
The followers of Water are the nearest cousins to the Wind. Instead of believing in speed, they believe in stamina. They usually fight long battles to tire their foes, then suddenly strike with such strength that hardly anyone would restand. Water warriors are very strong in both mentally and physically. Water is the most neutral element, containing speed, strength and defense into play. Some other less famous element like Ice and Poison and Soul falls into this catagory.
The followers of Fire are offensive demons. The believe in pure strength and by torturing the enemies with their hellish flames. They gain victory through weakening the opponent with multiple strong strikes and causing intense discomfort within their opponent body. Inferno falls into this Catagory.
The followers of Earth believe in defensive stances for victory. They are slow and patience like the water, although perhaps more rigid. They wait for the perfect chances to strike back suddenly. They are very strong physically, and could easily overpower an unsuspecting prey. Metal and Bio falls into this catagory.
So. Which will you choose?
Each has its weakness and strength.
Each has its use and purposes.
They are all created equal in a sense.
Which will you choose?"

Then I will search for these teachings, and combine my own styles with them, Haxus thought. He then went back to Sky's question. Which element should I learn.., but he already knew which to learn. " I will take the wind element" he told Sky.
