The Great Hunt - RP Thread

"No, it's not that, it's just that... Well, I'm sixteen, after all, and I think I'm being a little underestimated as to what I am capable of doing. Both, with the Force and with the saber,"

Exodius smiled.

''Then let me teach you my first lesson.''

Using telekinesis, he brought a hard container high in the room. With a swift fist movement, he crushed it completely using the force. Letting it float for awhile in the air, a force destruction followed, and the container was no more. The room trembled with the force, and for a second, had a impression of being visible.

And then everything stopped. Exodius, with a deep breath, spoke.

''I was always one who tought that dark side and light side powers were foolish thoughts. That there was only one type of power... but I was wrong. It all depends on the way in which you use it.''

He observed Glenn, to see what his reaction was, before continuing.

"You are right... In a way. Dark powers tend to be very destructive, and people who use it usually fall to the dark side because of it."

Exodius held his shoulder.

''No, my friend, for what I have done, it did not affect me and did not turn me into a dark being. What is behind the fall to the dark side... is the state of mind of the person using the power.''

He came close to Glenn.

''That is a lesson you must never forget. You now know you error in the cave, do you?''

"Of course I do. I need to learn to control it, or I won't live enough to tell the tale."

Exodius responded swiftly.

''It is no more the ability to control yourself that is lacking, than your behavior. Let me ask you one question. What is it, deep down, that seperates a Sith from a Jedi?''

"The Jedi seek peace and justice throughout the galaxy, and aid people in need of assistance. The Sith just care for nothing but themselves, and seek power above all else,"

Exodius laughed.

''Indeed, indeed, you studied well. But studying alone does not prevent one from a fall.''

He came closer to him, this time saying his thoughts with his mouth.

''It is humility. Have humility. Never think you are above others. Always think you are a servant to everyone arround you. A Jedi Master is never a Master of a situation, it serves it. Do you understand, Glenn? No matter what Jedi nor Sith tells you, nothing can be gained by pure power.''

"I think I understand, Master. After all, a Jedi must also be humble,"

''This will go beyond humble, Glenn'' he muttered and standing up.

Putting down the barrier, he opened the door.

''I have talked to your master, and he as agreed that, if so you wished it, I would take you as my apprentice. Your potential ressembles mine. And I beleive I can be of best guidance throught your journey with the Force. With Force knowledge, I can be compared to Revan's. What say you?'' he added with a smile.

"I... I must say this is unexpected, Master. Fine. I accept your proposal. You shall be my master from now on. But I would like to talk to my master first,"

*Gotta go man, I may be back at night, C'ya*

*Perfect, had to go to. Hope to see you tonight*

''Very well, come back and tell me what you have agreed''.

He left the room. Now, there was another one he was aiming for.... Reeki.

Soon, he arrived at the same room Reeki was. And alone.

''Reeki, where should I start'' he said.

She looked up from where she sat, a line of thread running from her teeth down to a needle in her hand. She was working on her pants, with them still on might I add for those of you who have dirty minds. She gave him a questioning look, letting the string fall from her mouth. "What do you mean?"

He sat next to her.

''You know what I mean. Have I not perceived your mental conversation with Glenn, I could still have doubted it. But now, thin are the elements which shows me the contrary to me belief''.

She smiled and turned back to the holes in her pants. "I have no idea what you are talking about Master." She bent down to her leg, bit the string off, then moved on to the next hole. "I'm just a simple Knight trying to survive this task we were given."

Exodius stared focusly at Reeki.

''You know, before I went on my journey with Revan, I was an adept with the Dark Force. And I had a peculiar ability in Force control. Surely you know what it is and what it does. I'm giving you a chance to open up''.

She laughed and shook her head, looking over at him for a moment. "Master, you are not fooling me. I know what will happen if I am indeed a Sith. You pretend to understand now, but it's just a mask. I do not trust you Master, nor will I any other man, woman, or Padawan on this ship." She winked at him then turned her eyes back to the needle, still working at the same rip. "But of course that would be IF I were a sith."

Exodius lifted her chin. He looked in her eyes, and there was no more escape.

Into the debts of her mind, something happened. Reality was distorted, he had enterd her.

She was just a child now, in a little circle of light, surrounded by pure darkness. A naked child, with not even clothes, in the cold.

Suddenly, a voice tremble.

''Reeki, so your greatest fear is to be alone in darkness, submitted to yourself with nothing''.

She shook her head and sat down on the floor, covering her head with her arms. "I'm not afraid.. I'm not afraid... Get out.. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" The child closed her eyes and whispered her Master's name. Her master who had turned to the Dark Side soon after taking her on as an apprentice. The child inside was shaking, crying even... She was afraid.

The real Rekki's form would slowly change. She'd grow from her current age (18) to 24 in front of his eyes. Her skin color would grow pail and her hair would darken. Her iris's grew red and black lines formed around her eyes. She had resorted back to her Sith form, unable to control it while he was in her mind.
