Rayken's Training

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*The dark room lit only with blood red candles at the four corners was waiting for him. He was told to meet her here, but she was nowhere to be seen. The room was void of everything but the candles, but as soon as he entered, the doors closed locking him inside. It seemed more like a prison than a training room.*

[Rayken/Hk-62]

*rayken wore his usual attire for this meeting he had all his weapons strapped on him and seemed well armed... when he entered the room he could feel someone was watching him but just when he takes a few more steps into the room the doors close behind him. He sits down in the middle of the room and waits patiently for rajani... or something else. He keeps 1 of his hand near his katana waiting like a ninja on the ground.*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

The dark voice echoes through the room making it hard to discover just exactly where she was located.*

"That won't be necessary...not yet. You, Rayken, have become one of the chosen to learn the ways of the darker side of the Force. This path isn't one walked lightheartedly. It will push you to your limits and beyond. Once you start down the path, you can never return to the way things were before. Is this your wish?"

[Rayken/Hk-62]

*he opens his eyes gets up and seathes back his katana he stands there for a few moments and comes up with an answer*

''Yes'' he said with a dark cold voice

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*Her mouth slowly curls in a smile as she steps out of the shadows and reveals herself to him for the first time.*

"Then bow before your master, apprentice and show your allegience."

[Rayken/Hk-62]

*he took a quick glance at her before bowing he bowed as a apprentice would ussualy bow his master. His face was still stone cold as he got up*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*As he rose again, she looked deeply into his eyes as if searching his inner being.*

"You've a darkness deep within and secrets none other have come bringing before. It will help you survive for a time.....but it will fail you in the end."

*Her hand moved to his chin raising his face up a little.*

"You're stronger than my previous padawan too. There's a fire of knowledge already that runs through you. Tell me what you do know proficiently."

*She already knew some of these things from his performance in attempting to get the general.*

[Rayken/Hk-62]

''I know how to kill people without a weapon, a mere Jedi apprentice is no problem for me to bring down even if he had a light saber and some command of the force... believe me I have done that before. My reaction speed is allot faster than other humans and even faster than some people of other races. I go anticipating every step before acting and my will is strong nobody ever broke my will to do something or accomplish something.''

edit: spell check

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

"Then your will here will be what makes you or breaks you. To truly learn, you must make yourself subservient for a time. Once you learn all you can, it is then you lash out. I did the same with my master. You may know much, but there is still much you don't know. However, do know this about me and my methods of teaching. I command respect. Show me disrespect or disobey me and there will be consequences. Also, you will have plenty of opportunities to test yourself amongst the others that form my minions. I love competition and even more. From my men you will learn how to read others who are trained just as you and constantly try to outwit them. How well you do, will determine just how much of my favor you'll receive. Please me and you'll have rewards beyond your desires. Disgrace me and the guild you serve and your life will be hell. Is this clear?"

[Rayken/Hk-62]

''Yes, master''

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She smiled at this and motioned for him to sit down on the floor.*

"We'll start with an exercise. Sit on the floor and listen to my voice. You are safe here....for now."

*She waits for him to sit down and walks slowly behind him watching his back and reaching into his thoughts.*

"Clear your thoughts and focus only upon the Force within this room. The force and life are deeply connected. Living organisms illicit the Force throughout their body and into the environment as well. Those in tune with it, can sense the very ripples as life passes through. Yet, there is a deeper level....there is a level deep inside running throughout your body even to the cellular level. Try to sense this connection. Feel the Force...."

*Her voice was low, suggestive and almost seductive as she used it to relax him and get him to connect with that which was the source of their power.*

[Rayken/Hk-62]

*rayken got down on the ground and took a crouch position he closes his eyes and focuses on her words
doing every step he started to focus more closely on the things around him.. he began to feel the force around him the energy he stretched out a hand with the force and could touch the bricks without using his hands he could feel it going further into the brick he could feel its makings a single tip could let it com bust or crumble but he did not know how. He opened his eyes and looked back at Rajani*

''I felt it master''

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She nodded her head.*

"Try again. This time delve deeper into the Force. Feel every current within this room and even in your body."

*She waited for him to oblige and then did her ultimate test. Quietly, she slid her dagger out and then flung it towards him. Had he been truly in tune with the Force, he would be able to dodge it or even stop it.*

[Rayken/Hk-62]

*He was completely in tune with the surroundings that he felt the dagger come at him he could sense it coming closer. He moved his arm grabbed her hand and brought it down along with the blade. He looked back at her and the blade*

''This... this was a test wasn't it?''

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

"One you seemed to pass and surpass my other apprentice...."

*She looks at him appraisingly before letting the dagger fall to the ground and clatter against the cold stone surface.*

"You act as if you've had some sort of training.....have you?"
