Vishnu's Training

[Pele]

Vishnu left the truly great phase he ahd been in, it was the one that he felt the msot calm in. But it was time and Vishnu broke out and opened his eyes and looekd around the room. He slowly rose up and stood infront of his master. Vishnu's muscles were less tense since the time he had arrived, and he felt more readier then he had felt in a long time. Vishnu moved his fingers around to wake them up and he stood there looking at his master.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

OOC: Get yourself ready and go to the rp board. PM me when you're online. We're striking tonight. "Strike into the Heart"

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

"For you to understand what you are to become, first you must understand what is expected. Listen closely to what I'm about to tell you, my apprentice and guard these words within your very being. Meditate upon them. Within them is the creed and code of what we are."

*She turns away from him, but her words are longing, enchanting. It seems that she has grown to love the words she uttered to him. The way she stressed the words, showed him just how important these principles were.*

"There is no peace, there is anger.
There is no fear, there is power.
There is no death, there is immortality.
There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side."

*She pauses and turns around to face him taking menacing steps towards him with each line of the code she utters. Her voice grows commanding and full of conviction with each line she utters. Clearly, all of her actions were based upon the last part of this creed.*

"I am the Heart of Darkness.
I know no fear,
But rather I instill it in my enemies.
I am the destoyer of worlds.
I know the power of the Dark Side.
I am the fire of hate.
All the Universe bows before me.
I pledge myself to the Darkness.
For I have found true life,
In the death of the light."

*Standing before him with a gleam in her eyes, she reaches out and touches his cheek with the back of her hand as a mother would to a child.*

"This is your creed. Live by it. Meditate upon it. Make it happen. THIS is what we are all about."

*She pulls her hand away and walks a short distance from him again while taking an object off of her belt...something he couldn't see.*

"Only these things will be acceptable. Fail in any of these precepts and you will face such torment nothing can prepare you for. I accept no failures. Stay upon the top and please me, Vishnu, and you'll go far."

[Pele]

"I intend to never fail you master." Vishnu said keeping his voice low.

His face still felt the fingers on his cheeks, the feel of coldness, power, and darkness all there. And her gaze seemed to threaten him about the faliure part, which he knew was not a lie to scare him. Vishnu really did intend not to fail his master, and he also got her encouragement of her threatening him. The Code she had told him buzzed inside of his head, repeating itself over and over making him feel it and keep its meaning. His face that used to show no emotion now showed a bit of anger and evil since he had felt them and he liked the way they felt. A sudden curiosity grew in his mind as he wondered about what she had taken off of her robe.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She turned around and was holding his father's lightsaber. Using something that he was extremely attached to would prove useful later in his training. She bent down and set it upon the floor at her feet then rose up again to look at him.*

"Though there will be many weapons you will be exposed to, there are two that you use more than others. One is that of a lightsaber. The lightsaber is an unique weapon unlike any other. Where the blade of a sword can break, the energy blade of this weapon never fails. It burns bright just like hatred within one's heart. It hums with a life of it's own, but it's usage comes with a price as well. Whenever you present a lightsaber to your enemy, you identify yourself as to whom you belong to. There will be times when this is necessary and other times when this isn't acceptable. I will teach you the perfect times to rely upon this great weapon and when to rely upon another."

*She backs away from the weapon and enters the darkness.*

"Watch."

*Backing completely in the darkness, she moves silently to where he can't see. A loud crack sound is heard and the two wicks of the candles go black leaving half of the room in darkness. She speaks to him through the Force.*

[glow=red,2,300]Darkness is your cloak. It is your ally. It can hide your presence as well as aid you when sneaking up upon your prey. People fear the darkness. Just as they fear it, make them fear you.[/glow]

*The lightsaber slowly seems to rock on it's own as if an unseen hand were playing with it. Then just as quickly as it shook, it quickly was pulled into the darkness.*

[glow=red,2,300]Strange things that happen can scare your prey and also peake their curiosity. Drawing them to yourself cuts down the risk of being seen and will surprise them more when you actually do strike. Without using the Force step towards the darkness.[/glow]

[Pele]

Vishnu took small, slow breaths threw his white cloth. He looked into the darkness letting all the words soak into his head and so he would fully understand them to his usage. Then he raised his leg and took a step towards the darkness, towards the complete hole of darkness on the other side of the room. He liked going into the darkness and he felt like it would be easier for him if he was in the dark, where he was most fortunate. Vishnu didn't think about the force not using it, hoping that's what she meant. He slowly stepped into the darkness, his body turned from light, to darker, darker, and darker until he was completely in it. He looked straight ahead making sure he did not walk into the wall, or the candle post. He was in it and then waited for her to give him his next assignment.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*As he was in the darkness, suddenly an arm grasped him tightly and a crimson blade erupted in light before him very near his neck. He could feel her lips near his ear.*

"Just like that they have that moment of fear just before their death. It's intoxicating and invigorating. Killing them in the darkness, where their fear lies, you become their fear. Yet, there again are times when usage of a lightsaber isn't needed. It helps add to the sense of fear though. You can as easily kill with your bare hands...silent killing."

*She releases him and pushes him away from her.*

"Not much different from what you did before coming here. I was pleased with your performance in the Senate halls as well. You have already pleased me, Vishnu."

*She moves towards him and attaches the lightsaber to her belt again.*

"It is time to work on your agility and dexterity now."

[Pele]

"Yes Master." Vishnu said taking the liking the compliment.

Even though you couldn't see or if you could see him, his expression showed he was ready for training, but he liked getting complimented. A small thing he knew he would have to get rid of since it would bring him to over confidence. He knew he was pretty good at agility and dexterity, probably his best things, but he would use the more training to make him even more unstopable liek his master. Soon a small pain came to his right shoudler blade, but he didn't flinch or hold it. He had had it since the Senate place when the soldier shot his shoulder. But he had grown to ignore it, he would find a way to heal it later. He then waited for his master to speak again.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She waved him forward while smiling.*

"Try to take me down with your strength only. It shouldn't be hard to bring a woman down, now should it?"

[Pele]

"Unless the woman is your master." Vishnu said mumbling.

Vishnu tried to think of what to do which would be only strength. He had three options in his head, 2 of them he kenw were to obvious so he choose do the last one which was something ok. He wasn't the strongest person, and he knew that, but he also knew he wasn't weak. Vishnu thought of it and he would try it now. Then he balled his fist up and sent a strong fist punch towards her under rib. He made it mostly strength and tried to make it stronger then he usually would.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She moved her hand quickly down and grabbed his fist before it hit her and grabbed his wrist with her other hand pulling it behind his back pushing him down to where he was forced down on the ground in a crouch. It was lightning quick but he could feel no taint of the force leading this attack. She was stronger than she looked. Leaning her head down towards his ear, she spoke to him.*

"That was predictable. Just as quickly as I brought you down, I could have sent a blow to your arm shattering the bone in this position. You would have been in a bad position to try to attack me in return and would have been incapacitated. Try again."

*She lets go of his arm and pushes him to the ground with disgust.*

"THINK this time."

[Pele]

Some of the dirt hit his mouth as he was pushed to the ground. It went over part of his lip and he licked it off and spit it out onto the ground. He looked at the blob of spit for a second but then took his eyes away. He pushed himself up onto his feet and then looked at his master. Soon a small rage grew within him, he looked regularly but his eyes were sharp and trying to find any weakness and then pursue it. Then his fighting strategies went into his head, the ones he had learned about with his father, deceiving was the one he would try now. Vishnu dug his feet into the ground and pulled his arms back. Then he did another swing with his right arm towards her, put this time he intentionally missed hoping to give her some kind of faint hesitation, his hand moved a couple inches away from her head. But he kept the motion going and he moved around in almost a circle and lifted up his foot and he sent a kick for her inside stomach.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*It was a bold move but at least now he was putting more thought into it. She ducked as he aimed his punch for her head, yet didn't expect him to open himself up the way he just did to kick at her too. Allowing his kick to meet her stomach, she doubled over but slid her boot forward just inside his other leg that was holding his weight at the time. All of his weight was moving towards that side, pushing him out would break his balance and cause him to fall. A powerful kick to the stomach was worth teaching him this lesson. Standing up again after the kick, she moved her foot outward against his trying to offset him.*

"Think more steps into the future."

*She still had her hands at her stomach holding the tender flesh there as she spoke these words to him.*

[Pele]

Vishnu was to busy keeping his motion to notice her foot slide in and make him trip over it. It brought him falling onto the ground onto his stomach but with his hands cushining his fall. He felt his elbow get the msot pain as it hit the floor but it would leave a bruise only, hopefully. But the pain wasn't what he thoguht of, it was he had thought better on this strike. Vishnu pulled himself up onto his feet. He saw his master holding her side over where he had kicked her. He listened to her and then nodded.

"Yes Master." He said raising his head.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She straightens again and pulls her hands down while waving him forward again.*

"Show me you are more intelligent than a trained rancor."
