Bring fireproof gloves (open)

[Darth Vaildra]

The white haired Echani had spent a great time away from the Sith as he sought enlightenment in the Dark Side. His boots hit in a repetitive rhythm as he moved across the metal floor to his personal training room. Why he needed a personal one would become clear soon.

He entered the dark room and waved his hand as the torches lit and filled the room. He saw comb webs and dust all over the room, clearly not well kept in his absence. His eyes went from their normal glowing bluefish green to their glowing orange as he harness the power of fire from within. The door to the room slammed shut as he released a blast of fire filling the room with intense heat. This could be compared to using the oven clean setting to burn all old and chunk in an oven to make it cleanable.

After he was finished the door once again snapped opens he harnessed wind shaping now to rush into the room and clean the remains and carry them out of the building and at the same time cool it down. He looked upon his room which was now black, but still brighter than most Sith rooms. He proceeded farther into the room and knelt in the ground to begin a meditation to prepare him to train new students.


His training was open to anyone wanting to learn the art of fire shaping.

"Well, that was one way to clean a room, my Lord," she said, leaning on the door frame, garbed in her armor and helmet. "I wanted to say welcome back to the capital, my Lord."

This Echani seemed a bit ... flashy for her tastes in teachers, but anyone could be better than those droning fools at the academy. Those fools still didn't know she was behind several incidents or had been off world, not true Sith in her regard at all.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

The Sith Lord meditated on the power of the dark side and the way of the Sith. He was growing tired of the current state of the One Sith. The Acolytes were weak and tried to butter up the teachers tiger what they want. Acolytes needed to take power, they should kill one another in the process.

Then there were the Knights who were still more like Acolytes just rushed into Knighthood yet they could not hold a candle to a real Sith. They also thought they had what it took to dawn the title of Darth, a title saved for Lords of the Dark Side. Following them were Sebastian's fellow Lords. Only one should be the Lord and the was the Dark Lord of the Sith. Going by Lord was more of a Dark Brotherhood approach to trying to stop infighting.

Then last, but not least there was the never present Dark Lord. As a Sith Lord, you would believe he would have met the Dark Lord. He wondered if the Dark Lord truly existed, regardless of the answer the true Dark Lord would soon reveal himself.

Lord Sebastian slowly opened his eyes to view the person in his door frame. She was clearly a woman, but her identity was hidden. He reached out with the Force to sense her signature and therefore her identity and saw something that intrigued him. "Small talk has no place here. Why are you hear?"

Erebos walked the hallway in a slow and precise manner. After he heard his master, his mentor, had returned to the sith he wished to compare himself to the being that in most way's had shaped him into the man he was today. His mask reflected little as it's black sheen only let a ripple of light cast down it's smooth surface, he had painstakingly repaired it after the events on Chaswa and his armor had been rendered useless in the process as well. So now he was content with simple sith robes and his own mask.

As he approached the training room he regarded the acolyte [member="First Daughter"] with a simply glance before he looked at his mentor, [member="Lord Sebastian"]. 'Still not strong enough huh...' He thought as he compared their glow in the force to one another, he was like a lit torch while his master was a camp fire if he had to put in words of comparison. He strode into the room with confidence and pride as he stopped before his master and bowed respectfully, something he only did to the voices and those he respected. "I'm glad you have returned master." He only said, his voice distorted through his mask, making it deeper than it actually was, but his tone did give away the smile he had under his mask.

"What any Sith ever wants, power and knowledge, my Lord," she replied with a shrug. She acknowledged Knight Erebos with a bow, but remained where she was. "I am merely an extension of His will ... as are all of us in some way or form. At least, that's what the idiots at the academy say."

Was she being disrespectful to the current teachers at the academy? Yes. Did she particularly care? No. Did she care what the Sith Lord and Knight here said? Indifferent. She served a higher cause after all, one most did not fully appreciate in this day and age.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

He nodded as his former apprentice entered, but drowned when he uttered his words. "What have they done to you in my absence?!" He stood from his places of meditation and dusted his trench coat a little to even it out. "Is that a smile I sense in your voice? You should know better than sho weakness in my presence." He sighed at his former student's behavior. Not even Sebastian's punishing training could beat the boy's light out of him. It would not surprise Sebastian if he one day turned to the light. Nevertheless he was an accomplished warrior with an incredible power.

He turned back to the woman in the door an motioned for her to enter. "Say what you like, the Dark Lord has no ears here and no power to stop your words. You will find that the only will you are an extention of is your own and that only you can take the power you crave." Lord Sebastian spike his words with confidence that even if the Dark Lord walked in now he would only be greeted with a much needed lightsaber in him. A Dark Lord that sits back and makes so many others do his bidding is no Dark Lord.

Politics aside, this was for training, not politics. He looked at his former student. "T'Zanith, show me what you can do now with fire."

"They let my leash go." He replied with a smirk under his mask, [member="Lord Sebastian"]'s overbearing heaviness of mood was the only thing he didn't miss about his master. He had to admit though that the [member="First Daughter"]'s attitude intrigued him. Tempering his mood Erebos took a few steps back away from his mentor and then loudly clapped his hands once as fire appeared around him and then began to converge into the small opening between his palms he made then.
Moving the hands slowly apart he made a plasma beam not unlike that of a purple lightsaber between his hands and then broke it as he formed it into a Tuk'ata made of flame, with claws and teeth of bright blue plasma. Then with a simple snap of his wrist the Tuk'ata dissipated into a torrent of flame that got smaller and smaller and then became nothing more than a candle flame which he put out with another flick of his wrist towards it. "How is that?" He asked his mentor as he then took a at ease military type of stance.

"To each their own philosophy on will," she mumbled to herself behind her mask, keeping her thoughts quiet. As the Sith Lord gave his former apprentice instruction and the Knight produced fire, she hung back to observe the two for now.

Maybe she would learn that technique and more about these two ... individuals.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

Lord Sebastian watched his former apprentice with great interest. He was rather impressed with his level of control now at the Shapping side, but shaping alone would not make his flames a deadly weapon. He chuckled a little as he finished, " and they say I am flashy." He looked at the Acolyte and raised an eyebrow at her secret words. Sometimes he wished he could not sense so much.

"Now, let us be frank. You, T'Zanith, your training will be more advanced as you seem to crasp the basics. For you I want you to practice raising and lowering the temperature of your flames. It is the same concept as making the flames. If you want hotter flames, vibrate the molecules more, cooler flames make them go slower, but too slow and you will kill the flame."

He looked again at the Acolyte, "of power is what you wish then you will not find it in the door trying to act cool. Tell me, what is your understanding of Fire Shaping. Impress me."

Erebos simply nodded to his mentors words and then turned his head towards the acolyte in the door. 'Who exactly is she? Or rather what is her future.' He thought as he always took an interested in potential Apprentices though now he had his hands full with two.
Opening his palm he made a small flame flicker to life as he tried to increase the vibration faster and faster, the flame turned large for a second and he could feel the heat on his face even though he was wearing a mask before it sputtered and died. 'All right... still the same as ever isn't it...' He thought as he remembered his days as Sebastian's apprentice, some day's he wasn't as fond of as others that was for sure. Turning on another flame above his palm he tried to do the same but this time he tried to contain the flame to the beginning size while he made the flame's molecules vibrate faster and faster inside.

"Fire shaping, or its more proper name pyrokinesis, is the act of using the Force to rub and excite air molecules or molecules of a combustible nature to create a flame. The user can then direct hat flame to suit their needs, or manipulate an existing flame if such is nearby. It is a neutral power in nature, with both Jedi and Sith using the technique. There is also a subsect of Dathomiri Magic that is similar in nature known as spells of fire," she said, shrugging as she relayed what she knew.

She had spent plenty of time in archives and of course learning from another source all together, but that was a secret that only two individuals knew about.

"Or so I've read," she added.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

Sebastian smirked as the woman spoke, but let her think on what she had said for a moment. He turned towards Darth Erebos, he always did wonder why Knights took on the name of Darth, then again the One Sith did a lot of things he didn't agree with. "Stop, you are putting too much effort into it. If you put this much into it then it will tire you in battle quicker. Relax, the fire is your creation, merely will it to do what you want and it will follow suit.."

This led him into the Acolyte's words, "if I meant Pyrokenises I wouldn't have said shaping. Shaping is an ability used by the old Shapers of Kro Var. Next time you want to correct a Lord be damn sure you are right. If this wasn't the One Sith you would die for such actions. This is the One Sith so I will teach you the difference. First is Pyrokenitics." He walked around and grabbed a rubber ball from his desk. Returning to the front he held it in his hand and used the Force to levitate it. "Note the object. It is made of solid molecules that unless you force it with greater pressure than the bonds it will remain together. Now, if we use Pyrokenitics we can do that, watch, I will do it slowly." He channeled the Force into the ball which proved a bit harder doing this slowly, but after a moment the ball began to move as if it was trying to break and vibrate at the same time. As time passed it only increased and smoke started to slowly build until it began to become a small flame. The flame increased until the rubber ball transformed into a fireball. "As you said it is the vibration of molecules and this is what I also taught T'Zanith, but first and foremost he is using shaping."

Shaping is not the vibration of molecules, it is harming the power within you to create the flame." He held up his other hand and used Fire Shaping. The flames came out of this hand to form a ball that mirrored the ball in the right. " Two abilities, same results, butter he energy to do Pyrokensis is greater than shaping as the flames come from you rather that you creating them. In comparison, Force Lightning is closest to this ability. T'Zanith and I use both, but more like PK to enhance Shaping."

T'zanith listened when directed and calmed his mind as he started again. This time the flame took on aspect he was looking for much quicker and stayed that way above his hand, the flame was so hot he could practically feel his skin about to boil under it and moved it a bit away from him. The more he heated it up the more he shaped it into a ball until, at least in his eyes with the force, it seemed to resemble a miniature sun right there in the room in front of him.
With curiosity he shot a little force lightning into the ball and it turned into a ball of super heated plasma the he found he could easily manipulate. 'Interesting.' He thought before he made the ball die and began again creating another fire ball in front of himself. He wouldn't interfere in the acolytes lesson unless he began seeing his old master wished to do the girl harm.
