Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Valeera Sanguinar]

The sounds of hard breathing seemed to fill the room. It was more then clear that all the students were tired, and thus needed rest. To come so for in such a short amount of time was amazing, however in Valeera's eyes they still had a long way to go. As one of the students seemed to stand to leave it seemed a break was in order. Alright you have done well so far. It is time to rest, when you are ready to start again return here.

Sieg looks up at Master Sanguinar as she told him and the rest of the students to get rest. He looked down at the ground and started to walk while trying hard to keep his balance. Whether he meant to or not, he brushed past Kari lightly on his way out. He didn't look back, trying to focus on keeping his balance. As he walked down the darkened halls, he used them as some kind of balance. He felt a strange pulsing coming from the walls that gave him a strange feeling. He stopped and looked at the wall, seeing nothing but a black, normal wall. He placed both hands on it and felt a weak power surge through him.

It made him feel a bit better, as he moved his hands from the wall and began walking back to his room in the darkness without the needed support of the wall.

He opened the door and closed it behind him absentmindedly. He looked from the floor to the bed and back to the floor. Forget sleep. Sieg muttered to himself and he sat down on the floor and began to meditate again.

There would be many a night in the Jedi Temple when Sieg would not bother to sleep, but only meditate. It was his sleep. He had a power that not many others had. The ability to recharge one's energy fully just by meditating for weeks on end. Just about everybody could do such for a couple days at a time, but not for as long as Sieg. He meditated there and began stretching out his mind just like the previous night.

His memories brought him back to him and his old Master in the Jedi Temple. How he would constantly try to correct Sieg on everything he did, even when he thought (and knew in some cases) that he was correct. It would always anger him and cause powerful surges in his force abilities. What Master Sanguinar had said earlier made perfect sense to him. Emotion is the key. He would remember this well and use it to his full at everything he did. The Jedi were all wrong. Each and every last one of them.

Kari was only able to fail a two or three jumps before her Master had instructed everyone to get some rest. Kari watched as one by one everyone had left the training room, one of them had brushed against her, but she didn't pay any attaention to it. Though she was so tired she could hardly stand the words Master San had said before she had left the room with the others still rang in her head. Te words did not drive anger but more a form of depression, the question of why she seemed to be doomed to her own fate.

With nothing left she again began to try to jump. Focusing on the force as it flowed through her like water, concentrating it and then unleashing it with her jump. One failed attempt after another, she was so tired she felt like she had to give it everything she had just to stay standing. The word of her Master seemed to be what kept her going, wanting to prove her wrong. Another jump, this time two feet off the ground. Kari got ready to try again when she fell, her body was done she felt like she couldn;t move at all. The more she thought about it the more she wanted to keep going, everyone seemed to have such strong control of the force and she was always behind, it wasn't fair. Her breathing seemed to echo is the empty room as Kari again forced herself to get up to try it again. Forusing on everything she had, one last time she put all her energy all her hope into one last jump. The jump seemed to make her fly, the bottom of her feet lifting four feet off the ground. However she was to tired and forgot to use the force and hit the ground hard and thus fell face first onto the hard ground.

After a moment or two Kari rolled herself over onto her back, still the echo of her breathing filled the room. She had nothing left and since she had no idea how much time had passed since the others left it may have been a good idea to get som rest. Forcing herself to stand was far harder then she thought, though she was tired she was also hungry and thus made her way to get something to eat. Slowly making her way through the temple, again her oddly white hair seemed to make her stand out in a place that was so dark. Again she gained a bowl of the unknown food and sat to eat. Even something as simple as bringing the spoon to her mouth was hard she was so tired. After geting about half the bowl finished she rested her head on her arm for a moment, but only for a moment. A moment was all that was needed, almost as soon as her head was down she was fast asleep in the mess hall.

Kari awoke with a jolt, the small river of drool that was making a small lake on the table broken when she jumped. Her eyes glazed over, completely unsure where she was or what was going on. After a moment or she came back to her senses and realised that she had no idea how long she was asleep. Jumping out of her seat she ran down the hall back to the training room she had been in the last few days fearing she was the last to arrive.

Arriving at the room she found it completely empty, left the same way it was the same before. Still feeling a little tired she moved to a wall and sat on the hard ground, simply concentrating on the force. In the cold silence of the temple she sat concentrating on nothing but the force that filled the temple.

Hae-Den began to levitate one of the blocks focusing deeply on it, once he held it up confidently and sturdily he moved his focus from the central levitating block to the left block. his focused heavily on it but rather than redirecting his focus from one block to the other he actually focused his concentration on the force they both shared, and thier connection to both himself and eachother. he remembered the force flows through all things thus to hae-den's understanding all things are connected by the force. his focus grew deeply into the force itself and its flow from one block to the other and to the other and to him and to the final block and out into the raging energies of the entire plannet.

he felt the motion of the force, and the direction, it filled him with confidence and peace. Hae-den felt himself he saw the illuminating nature of the force in the inatimate blocks, and to the pillars that held up the ceilling the ceilling itself, and when he looked inward to himself he saw the illumitation of the force within him. it warmed him, and radiated powerfully to everyend of every direction he could comprehend. in his siblimity the blocks began to move and he felt the motions and the energy fromthat motion. they circled him in a stunning orbit and a symbol of hae-den's powers within himself and how he dose infact radiate that power. He sat still in the powerful effect of his sublime empowerment in the meditation room.

[Valeera Sanguinar]


The the morring continued the sound of foot steps filled the dark empty halls fo the temple. Valeera passed hall after hall as she was making her way to the training room to see how many of the students had shown up for the days training. She stopped only for a moment, she could sense yet another new life at the temple. Not wanting to waist her time as she had done with the others she rased her arm and used the force to push the doors open at the end of the hall. This would allow the new hopful to enter if he wanted to. If he or she was smart enough they would find their way to the training room with the others.

With that she left and continued to the training room, with was very close by. Entering the room she found a few of her apprentices had already arrived for the days training. However little did they know that this day was going to be much harder and longer then the other days.

Sieg glanced at the new face that had just addressed him and the rest of the apprentices. He looked down at his blaster and chuckled under his breath, reminded of how horrible and unpredictable such a weapon is. If this new body was even hopeful of becoming a Dark Jedi, he had a long way to go.

He chose not to answer the new person's question. He quickly swept the thought from his mind, trying to get rid of any other distractions that could throw him off for the training of the day. He looked up at Master Sanguinar who entered the room not too long ago. His neck was sore from the previous night so he couldn't keep his head up for much longer in his sitting position and let it level out. He didn't realize it until just then that he was looking Kari in the face. He closed his eyes and focused on what the Dark Jedi Master was going to be instructing them to do next.

Valeera watched as the new boy entered the room, unsure what to find. His fear was clear to hear, but fear could be a powerful tool if used correctly. So, you wish to be a master of the force do you? She said to the boy. If you wish to be trained you must first prove you are worth the time to train you. Prove to me you are worthy, sit and feel the force within this room, the power of this place any everyone around you. Finaly when you are ready, Valeera paused for a moment to lift a small box on the other side of the room over to the boy; the same small box the others had used at the start of their training. Lift the box into the air. It took most people a year or so to learn this, and these students had taken a full day to learn it, so if this boy could learn to do the most basic of moves by the end of the day she would train him.

Turning back Valeera waited for the others to arrive for their final lession. All of them would make fine, mindless pawns for her master; however some could be far more then that. As the days have been passing Valeera has began to find her favorites of the students, those who could be even greater then her if they worked hard enough. Today was more about testing them more then anything. Once everyone had entered she spoke. You have all done well in your training, however today will be the last day we meet here. Before I begin a short lession of the dark side is in order. Everything you have learn up to now is powerful, however it is nothing that every other force users had done before you. I can feel you, and the anger that drives you, some more then others. She glaced and the young girl, however with her face still covered by the shadow of her hood no one could see. None of you have understood why we are Dark Jedi, we use our emotions to drive us, our anger. You all remember a few small deplys of what the dark side can do. Turning her head to the two who had already lost control. Your anger can be a powerful wepon one that can be used to make you far stronger in the force then any normal force user. As you saw anger alone is not enough, you must control and focus it or it is no good to you. Keep this in mind over the next few days, to be a true master of the force you must master and control your emtions first they are the key to your power.

After a moment of silence she spoke again. Todays lession is a short one. First you will learn force speed, an ablity that shouldn't take you long to learn since it is alot like force jump in using the force to help your own body. Once you have learned that we will began the first of your tests to see if you are truly ready to be a Dark Jedi.
