Hide And Seek

[Darth Banshee]

[member="Darth Urak"]

Darth Banshee had been asked to teach a new knight, how to cloak himself in the force. Some thing she was happy to pass on, since she had learned it from [member="Darth Veles"]. She summoned him to her factory ship for the lesson, it was above Coruscant.

On arrival though he would be asked o give up all his weapons, as safety precaution. Only sith lords, could bring weapons on here. She would wait for him in her in sanctum.

Urak obeyed the rules and gave up his tools. He was grateful that he could be taught in the ways of stealth, especially by a Sith Lord. He entered the room with the dark lord for the training, wearing only his black robes, and the hood with which his face cannot be seen.

Urak bowed to her and waited for her to reply.

 

[Darth Banshee]

[member="Darth Urak"] I presume? She asked the man who entered her mediation chamber, without knocking first. She then rose up, and turned around to face him. He was wearing a hood covering his face, she wearing her light armour. As it was much more comfortable than her battle armour.

Before the knight could answer though, she asked him another question. Oh and what do you know about the art of small.

 

[Urak]

He looked around the room, then back to [member="Darth Banshee"] and replied to her question. "The art of small.. i recall it is a force technique able to change molecules allowing the user to hide their force presence?"

((haven't read any of the books in forever so i may be a bit rusty for these things))

 

[Darth Banshee]

Not quite, it how you have to imagine your self. As small you are the less likely you are to be seen. She wonder how best to describe it, then remembered how [member="Darth Veles"] told her. I want you to meditate their. She pointed into the middle of the room, where she was in a state of meditation till he came in. She moved to corner of the room, to give him plenty of room.

[member="Darth Urak"]

 

[Urak]

He first replied to her other questions and told her his name, Urak.

Urak obeyed and walked over to the middle of the room, and sat down in a meditation pose, and started to try and imagine himself that small.

​I want you to imagine, you are swimming in the sea, just above the water line. She was going to get him, to dive deeper into the sea. As the deeper you go, the less anyone can see of you. As not even light can not penetrate the deepest part of the sea. Tell me everything you can see around you, the waves the how does the water feel. Tell me everything [member="Darth Urak"]

 

[Urak]

Urak concentrated as best he could, he could feel the sun on his body, the warmth of the waves, the light from the sun shining into his face.
He could see the coral reefs below him and the fish swim around.

He told her all these things he saw.

[member="Darth Banshee"]

 

[Darth Banshee]

Good [member="Darth Urak"], know I want you to go just under the waves. Not far, but just immerse your self in the water. Then tell me what you can see. She wanted him to be their, not here in the room with her. As the more he could feel himself their, the more likely he would he would accomplish what he wanted.

 

[Urak]

He went deeper into the water, he felt the coral reef and swam near the fish as they scattered away from him, it was still warm, the water. He swam alittle deeper and went through a arch of rock. The light was not as bright down here, but he could still see plenty.

Urak told her what he felt and saw, then swam more.

[member="Darth Banshee"]

 

[Darth Banshee]

Know swim towards the edge of coral reef, and then look down, into the abyss which is depths of the ocean. When he get`s to it edge, and looks down. He should see the light disappearing, though the would be life down their. Cling the wall of drop, and some where down their would thermocline. Then if he doing this right, when he passes it, he should become cloaked in the force.

[member="Darth Urak"]

 

[Urak]

Urak swam to the edge, after looking down and swam down, into the depths. As the light vanished, so did the warmth, it seemed the further he went the more he could feel this vision, he went down for awhile, blindly swimming in the direction he thinks is down, in complete darkness. He started to feel strange, it was not normal feeling.

[member="Darth Banshee"]

 

[Darth Banshee]

He was know descending down, towards the depth. He should soon get to thermocline itself. Their he would see, a haze where the warm water, and cold water mixes together. When he penetrates that, he will feel sudden rush of cold water on him. Then he will, all he has to do survive, the cold water till he clears it. Then he will be freezing water, the sort that would sap his strength. Though their not even light of the sun could see him, and he would be truly small. Keep swimming down [member="Darth Urak"], till you reach the haze.

Know swim through the thermocline, to cold water below it. Here would be test of his endurance, would he freeze and have to come back up again, or would he endure the cold. Then would he be ready to get a lot colder, a hell lot colder. Colder than a Jedi hart, it would be. [member="Darth Urak"]

 

[Urak]

Urak swam down, further. Swimming through the thermocline. Into the depths below.

[member="Darth Banshee"]

 

[Darth Banshee]

Tell me how cold is it their, can you with stand it? She asked, as he need to go deeper. If he wanted to learn this skill. Though if he did, his body could enter shock. This would be due to very nature of cold itself. If he choose to go deeper, it would be his choice and his body on the line.

[member="Darth Urak"]

 

[Urak]

Urak told her, "I have withstood pain far more severe than this...i can do it." He went deeper, as it got increasingly colder, it was his will. He is willing to take the risk.

[member="Darth Banshee"]

 

[Darth Banshee]

Good [member="Darth Urak"] swim down till you can swim no more, keep describing what you can see, and how you feel. She wanted him to keep talking, as if he began to look like he was about to die she would know, and then she end the lesson. They where not like the siths of old, failure did not mean death. You just learn from it and try again, as they where family not rivals
