Kari watched as everyone seemed to leave one by one. Tired and unsure what to do now she got up to leave like everyone else. However, before she left to she to the small boxs she was useing and placed them neatly against the wall. After leaving the room she felt hungry and thought maybe some food would make her feel better.
After wondering down one hall after the next with nothing but the sound of her foot steps as compainy she scanned the temple for a place to eat. Finaly she found a room where some kind of food seem to be made by the droids. Kari got a small bowl and a puddle of gray mass was placed inside it by one of the droids.
Kari found a place to sit alone, which wasn't hard since the room was totaly empty. She lowered spoon spoon into the gray soup like gunk, and then lifted it to her mouth. To most the taste would cause them to vomit as soon as it hit their lips. But after having to eat whatever she could find tossed away by others for over a year the taste didn't bother her at all.
After finishing the "food" she left and made her way back to her room. Inside there she lay on the bed, she could feel the force even now. Before it had taken alot of concentration just to feel it as all now she seemed to feel it all the time. Kari wondered if this was going to be the normal ending of the daily training, but feeling to tired to think much more she drifted off to sleep.

[Valeera Sanguinar]
After many hours had passed Valeera had made her way back to the same training room to wait for the students to regroup to begin the training once again. The training from the day before had given her a great insight into what the new hopfuls could do. All of them had completed 6 months worth of training in one day, so clearly they would be worth keeping around; for the time being at least. Valeera waited in the dim light for her new students to arrive so she could begin.

Sieg was the first to find his way back to the dark room where they had all met at the previous day. He took two steps into the room when his eyes rested on the Dark Jedi in front of him. His expression did not change even though he had also noticed that he and the woman were the only two people in the room. He took a few more steps forward and stopped.
He said nothing as he stood there, looking into the hood where her eyes should be visible. He got the feeling that she was staring straight through him but he did not care anymore. He knew what he was here for and that is all that mattered to him. That is all that would ever matter to him. He did not care about the other students or even the Dark Jedi that stood before him.
His gaze focused then unfocused for a second. He decided to try to tap into the force again from right here to see what kind of progress he had made the previous night. He could feel most everything easier but still felt very restricted. His gaze then sharpened back on the woman in front of him once more. He was not going to make stupid decisions any more.

Sitting up in his bed Itovaa looked around the room again, still as empty as it was when he first entered it. Walking over to the locker at the foot of his bed he opened it and pulled out his robe. Laying them on his bed while he undressed, not once taking his eyes off of the robes. Picking them up again he started to change into them, they were very different to anything he had ever worn before. After he had dressed himself he realised just how much more movment he had in them. Packing away his other clothes he looked down at his fathers knife and then reached for it, pciking it up he fastened it to the inside of his robes. "Ill be damned if i am stupid enough to let down my guard in here off all places." he whispered to himself. Walking out of his room he walked towards the same room himself and the other students were trained in. As he aproached the doorway he knew someone was already here, he could feel the Teacher nearly aswell as his own hand. but the other was more difficult as if a candle flickering in the wind. Walking into the room he noticed it was the Ex Jedi, though he knew not his name he knew he was one of the stronger students here. Walking strait past him to the teacher he bow'd before her as a sign of respect before retreating to the darkest part of the room.

After practicing for many hours, Viku seemed to finally grasp the concept of the previous training. With newfound confidence, He wandered into the training room for further instruction. ((short posts mean that i am busy lol))

Hae-Den spent all but one hour in his meditation within the cold dark meditation room. His mind thouroughly focused on his breathing, he counted each and every inhale and exhale. within little time he began to sense the force in his breath, in each and every particle of air, and the stone under an around him, even in the dim light itself. he herd the echos of the others in the temple, the echos of thier footsteps. Many of these echos, some with sources that could not have only been students in his class, some must be other dark jedi, apprentices, knights, and even masters. but the echos became eratic, the number of them confusing, their sources and their origins where untraceable. he spent the remainder of his time focusing his mind on clarifying these sounds and echos to a fine tune. yet his senses where still very distracted and confused.
Alas a decent hour before the instrutor was to call the students back to their trainings Hae-den rose from his meditation. He inteded to establish his room and perhapse practice a short exercise to get his blood flowing in preparation for the next session.
After walking down three dormitory halls he finaly discovered an open room that fit his preferences. he set his equiptment and his provisions in and orderly manner underneath his cot. His stomach grumbled to him, it was empty and dispite the conservative nature Hae-Den maintains with his emotions and energies, far too much energy was expelled in his trainings earlier. He had not eaten seince his long travel on the friggate from Telos he had bought passage with. The food was hardly decent, but it was truely worth what Hae-Den paid for. Which wasn't much concidering it would normally cost a fortune to get some pilots to plot course for Korriban.
Hae-den opened his bag and retreived a small provision of travel ready foods. he opened a bag of what looked like minced and dried vegitables and ate some peices sparingly. by the time he had finished his modest meal it was already time for him to make his way back to the training room. Hae-den was dissapointed he didnt get to practice his exercises prior to the training yet he still felt envigourated by his meal.
He made it to the room with little time to spare, the instructor had already been waiting for the group and most of the students had already arrived. he had little interest in them, except the one who came in with what looked like the tunic of a jedi. he seemed to excell with the force, be he simply incredibly strong in the force or simply previously trained. the latter seemed more likely as Hae-den had often heard of the many jedi that had "fallen to the dark side" and joined the dark jedi. as if such petty concepts of light and dark existed in consiquence with the force. Alas this ex-jedi may know more of the force than most anyone here, hae-den desired very much to talk to the young man of the force, and see what subtle lessons could be pried from his lips.
Hae-den quickly brought his mind back to the here and now as he took his place next to the Jedi. He Nodded a simple bow to the instructor, and then looked throught the corner of his eyes with a delicate smirk to the young jedi to his right.

The next morning, Tobias awoke in his new room. Again, he'd had dreams all night about strange people and events. This place was affecting him in a way he hadn't imagined. Just yesterday, he'd learned that anger was not a setback, but a necessary tool. Tobias stood up and again, looked at the dark robes in his locker. He'd noticed that the girl yesterday had been wearing some as well, so decided that he should wear them as well. They were a different feel from his usual jumpsuit, but maybe later, he would be able to tweak it a bit.
As he entered the hallway outside of his room, he began to walk the opposite way from the training room, towards a faint smell that he was sure was food...or possibly just a vat of engine grease. Either way, what he found seemed to be a mixture of both. He found himself lead to a room that slightly resembled a cafeteria. A droid was behind a counter with a valve in his hands. Tobias picked up a bowl (which he was sure hadn't been cleaned at all, but it didn't matter) and headed to the droid, who proceded to pour out a gray gruel into his bowl. Tobias tasted it with his finger;It wasn't half bad. After all, he'd tasted worse.
After finishing his...whatever you want to call it, he actually found himself refueled with energy. He began to make his way to the training room, and found Valeera was already there, with four students already present. He noticed that some of the other were too dressed in the same black robes. Tobias bowed to Valeera and took his place next to the others.

Kari awoke some hours later, and once again falling out of bed. The quick drop with a short stio was enough to get her up and going. She quickly left her room, feeling she may have over slept and quickly moved across the temple to the room they had been in the day before. She entered and found that everyone was already there. Feeling stupid for being the last a arrive she quietly found her place hoping no one would notice her late arrival.

[Valeera Sanguinar]
Valeera waited until all the new apprentices had made their way back to the trainning room. Naturaly the stupid girl was the last to arrive. Valeera let out a short sigh before she spoke. Congradulations, you all pasted the test to see if you are able to become a Dark Jedi. Everything you did yesterday was a test, and the hardest one we have every had, so to see that you all passed is very rare indeed. I am Master Sanguinar or Master San for those dim-witted among you. I will be your master durring your training here, you will do everything I tell you. Our master, The Dark Lord wishs to see how many promissing new hopfuls we have, so do show her the proper respect. The Dark Lord will not like to see apprentices that do not understand their place. Remember this, I may let you go for disrespect but anger the Dark Lord and she will not be so forgiving.
Valeera allowed a moment for her words to sink in before she began again. Yesterday you learned to use the force to left and item into the air, the mot basic of skills. Now you will use this same idea to move larger items. Valeera took a few steps to her right to allow the students to see the large 4 feet by 4 fett cubes that were befind her. This time you will use the for to push the box to the other side of the room in one push, moving it slowly is not going to be usful in combat so it is not useful here. Once you have mastered pushing it you must pull it to yourself, again in one pull. Lets see how much you have learned since yesterday.

Hae-den looked at the large boxes. They where impressive, very impressive in size, and He had no way of knowing if the boxes where hollow, or completely solid. However the latter was most likely, nothing would be made easier so arbitrarily.
The objective was certainly intimidating, alas Hae-den remembered the stories and lessons of the great masters of the jedi, such as Master Yoda, of whom was said able to use the force to destroy entire fleets of fighters. and possibly even larger ships. many others where capable of equally incredible feats. Certainly it was no miracle or mastery if Hae-den was to simply push the block, but it still would be incredibly difficult.
Hae-den stood back looked at his block and viewed in his mind the block moving, he watched himself make the connection from his mind and his hand through the force into the block and the force within it. he felt the stone from the seventeen feet away and he saw himself gracefully pull the force though his body through his arm and into the box. The flow was full and instant and the block moved across the floor. alas only anticipation, only a day dream, the real thing shall definitely be far more difficult.
Hae-den once again looked at the block, he felt the force withing it, he felt the force within himself. he drew in from the energies of both with a deep inhalation. The power and strength swelled within his body within his blood, within his mind. The euphoria was extraordinary.
Quickly Hae-den moved his arms he pulled the force from around him with his movements even more of its power accumulated within his concentrated body. His motions where that of his martial exercises and they where designed to gather the force and his energies into a center. with this strong and powerful orb of the force within him he trust his hands foreword with a strong slow exhale and the force surged from his hands toward the block, yet it only budged. It was too weak.
Not yet tired from the act, Hae-den tried again, this time taking more time to gather his energies, and further perfect his collecting movements. This time Hae-den had no hesitation. He felt the force in the block he felt the connection the perfect spot to press into the block he felt everything. And in the very instant he thrust his arms foreward once again there where instant results. The block was struck with a powerful kenetic energy, alas it moved, not far, but it moved. The force struck it almost with an echoing sound. hae-den was satisfied, with is accomplishment, alas his instructors glare told him it was not enough. Hae-den was determined to succeed, he was determined to push that block across the room.
alas he was out of breath he would need a few moments to catch it.

Sieg looked at Master Sanguinar with a new expression as he listen to her speak. He wanted to meet this Dark Lord that she was speaking about, but that would have to wait until later.
He did not like the edge in her voice when she said that him and the other people here had to do everything she said. She would follow her rule for the time being, but the time would come when he would have confrontation with her. He could feel it.
Sieg watched as Master Sanguinar stepped aside to reveal the larger boxes of metal and listened to her finish speaking. He had done this multiple times before, but was not sure if he could still do it because of his earlier accident. He concentrated for a minute, letting the force come on to him as much as he could. He would not let himself be looked down upon and wanted to be able to do this to the best of his ability.
He gathered the force he had acquired into his hands and did the movement that he was taught in the Jedi Temple, releasing the energy forward aimed at the block in front of him. He sensed the power surge from him and hit the block, sending it back nearly half a meter. He was pleased with his work, but knew it was not enough. Pushing an object is one thing, but pulling an object is a lot harder to accomplish.
Sieg started concentrating again and repeated the same movement, only releasing as much force power as he could possibly muster. When the wave hit the box, it flew back roughly another meter.
Very pleased with himself, he began concentrating on pulling it back. He tried to reach out with the force to grab the object, and did so easily, however when he tried to pull it back to it's original spot is where he struggled. He executed the movement he had a hundred times before, and tried to pull the box back, and it only barely moved a few millimeters. He gathered more and more energy onto himself and tried to pull it back. Millimeter by millimeter, inch by inch, he very slowly was able to move it back to the spot where it originally was in about five minutes.
Sieg sat down unintentionally due to fatigue and didn't notice how much energy he had used up until just then. It was an old habit to never pay attention to the amount of energy he would use until after an encounter or fight. He felt as though he was going to pass out, but struggled to stay conscious. He looked up at his new master who's expression didn't change. He had hoped he would have at least impressed her a little bit. He looked forward at the other three students attempting the feat he had just accomplished, but then fell down onto his back and passed out due to exhaustion.

Kari was quiet as Master San spoke, the story she told of the dark lord made Kari begin to think. Who was that women she had met the other day when she entered the temple? Was she the Dark lord? Kari watched as Master San slowed them the box she was suppose to move. As the others began attempt to push the box Kari's mind filled wish questions, it made it hard to concentrate.
Master, umm... Kari began, If the Dark Lord that nice women I met the other day with blue skin? She doesn't seem that mean." Kari would normaly never want to speak so openly, but the women she met before had been the first kind person she had met in a long time. Since Kari had arrived she had fallowed every order perfectly, so such a small and simple question wouldn't hurt.

[Valeera Sanguinar]
Valeera was stunned for a moment, her master had been called many things; however "nice" was not one of them. Valeera stared at the girl as she asked such a stupid question, waisting her time talking instead of training. Valeera didn't like having to be the one to train the new hopfuls and her limit had been tested all of yesterday and this lasted comment by the stupid girl caused Valeera to lose a bit of her temper. Valeera exhailed very quickly, it was clear she was unhappy.
She spoke just below a yell, and with far more anger and hatred in her voice then she had spoken with so far. Why don't you spead less time on stupid questions and more time working on moving the box. Valeera turned so she was facing Kari directly instead of in a general direction. This time when she spoke it was with a yell of pure hate. You are the weakest of everyone here, now stop waisting my time and get to work you stupid little girl.

Kari worked hard to fight back her emotions as her master continued to yell. She worked hard to fight back her signs of weakness not wanting to be ashamed anymore then she just was. Kari turned back to the box, but found it almost impossible to concentrate. The speed of her breathing quickly increased as she tired to hold everything in. Why did she always have to be the weak one, why was she always being picked on? Her fear and sadness turned to anger quickly, she didn't mean to anger her master it was just a simple question. Attempting to quickly calm herself she concentrated on the force, but she was quickly overcome by her anger once again.
The force itself almost felt different, she could feel it within herself, and all around the large box infront of her. Her anger filled every part of her body, every small part seemed to be covered in her anger. She wanted to say something to her master but she couldn't, she wanted to just let it all out. With one push of her arm she let out everthing, all of the anger she felt and the force along with it all directed at the box in front of her. She fell to her knees completely drained after putting everything she had into that push.
A sudden loud crash could be heard as the box had crashed against the wall on the other side of the room from her single push. Kari sat back on her knees, just trying to get a grip of what had just happend she had pushed the box to the other side in one push, or had she. Her anger seemed to have lifted as quickly as it had arrived. It wasn't like before when lifting the box, the force had felt different, and she didn't unstand why. Kari just sat on her knee, her breathing had still not slowed even though her anger had lifted; trying to understand what she had just done.

Hae-Den's rest lasted only a few minuets before he stood back up to attempt to push the box. dispite the short time between attempts he watched the few students around him, one of them, being a young, naive, and rather sad looking girl spoke something to the instructor. Hae-den didnt seem to catch it entirely, as he was still trying to manage his breath, but what ever it was infuriated the instructor. she spoke with terrible impatience, and a strong anger, she lifted her voice to a yell. She called the girl "the weakest".
this in turn infuriated the younger girl who suddenly and un-expectedly thrust the metal block across the room breaking it against the wall. it was extrodinary. It took a moment to sink in what had just happened. Hae-Den witnessed not so much the magnamity of the dark sid, even within the "the weakest" but more so the accumlative affect of action and reaction, and of the true metaphysics of the force. from one naive question came the energy to astound every "dark jedi" in the entire room. That question surged a passionate response from the instructor, and flowed full circle even stronger back to the young girl, and her anger.
alas the force can flow in such ways. surely it dose not take great power in the force to be embued with such eratic strenght. dispite the accomplishment of the girl, it was with out her calling, she mustered no strenth conciously and thus no control or intent. and hae-den knows well from strategy, and his own experience in combat, blatant stenght is nothing compared to strong will, control and mindfulness.
Hae-den, silently witnessing the entire incident, and stood up with new resolve to recconect his force to that of the blocks.
Yet when he began to feel the force within the block to make the connection, he felt a difference in it, the box had physicly changed. there was a substantial dent in the side of it, right where he had pressed his second thrust of energy into. Yet there was no effect to the rest of the block, it seemed as if Hae-den had focused all his power into a single point into the block, penitrating it's surface dramaticly, rather than a dispursed shove against its side as he expected. He realised that it is the fully focused energy from the hand to the knife point that brings the knife to penetrate the flesh. also it is not with the thrust like that of a knife point that one would be able to push a body away, where, alas, an open palm is capable.
with this insight hae-den mustered all the strength and power of his previous attempt and pressed his energies foreward into the entire block. the resulting attack upon it's side speedily thrust the block forewords a quick four meters, scraping and gouging the stone floor with its starp metal edges.
Hae-den was thouroughly satisfied with his attempt, he knows he shall practice such activities in the future in the aims to further perfect it. alas the results of the second failed attempt shall not ldley be forgotten, it is something difinately worth studying and practicing as well.
alas Hae-den exhausted himself, the last few days had been harsh, poor nurishment, a lack of good rest, and a great deal of exhertion. He realised how tired he was truely getting, he had pushed his body very far, variably farther than he has ever done before. yet he disired to continue further, his ambitions and his interest in the force drive him to want more from the lessons, and greater attunement to the force still.
Alas hae-den sits and contemplates the mechanics of pulling the block back to himself with nothing but the force. as the bustle of the students around him continue hae-den sits still and silent observing them, especialy the jedi.
