Cave of the Luna

[Xaiamut]

As the sun descends and falls into twilight...

And the moon shine forth in its glory bright...

Villians of the darkest depths will spawn...

And the sliver of hope will dawn.

"This is for those wishing to learn the Lunar Arts or at least a few techniques. For those unaware of who I am, I am Xaiamut, founder of the Lunar Arts and master of Lunar Art - Holy. I will train those who wish to learn the basics of the art, to wield light energy within yourself and use it in your sword and eventually, within yourself. It is named the Lunar Arts because it grows stronger in moonlight and in the face of the full moon, the wielder because a true force to be reckoned with. However, this will require mastery on their part, whether in the Art itself or in the technique derived in it. The other you may learn from is Melody Hikari-Shinu Anson (Lunar Art - Requiem) and Neo Shadow 2 (Lunar Art - Dark). "

"Each lesson here will be conducted in a series of stages, Phases of the Moon. With each stage, you will learn more advanced moves and techniques. The first, Crescent stage, will teach the basics, mainly in using the Lunar Aura, a technique that is central in the Lunar Arts. Then will be Half stage, where actual techniques will be learned. In Gibbons stage, you will learn more advancd moves based on your own style. And last will be Full stage, where you will need to create your own powerful technique or master one of the teachers. Many will seek to create their own, but that is usually harder. After that, you will be a full master of the Lunar Arts and you will move on to New stage, where basically, you will be on your own to develop your techniques. Depending on how you turn out during your training, you may develop your own style of the Lunar Arts and thus a new style will be named."

For Cresent Phase students

Lesson Zero - Harnessing the Luna

The first lesson for those of Crescent is the formation of the Lunar Aura. This is the central technique of the Lunar Arts and thus vital. Stand in the middle of the cave and allow the light to shine down on you. Once done, focus on the light itself, on the warmth of its energy. It's a little tricky as moonlight is only a reflection of real light, but probably easier as well. When you have a grasp, focus it onto your blade and rotate it slowly. It will take it some time to form, but eventually you should be able to create a glowing afterimage of the blade.

Assignment: Create at least four lightswords.
