The Precursor.

She didn't so much as hear a single word of what he said to her. Her eyes were shut softly, her hands would twitch and and hold him tightly. She knew he was holding her and as such subconsciously she smiled and held him in her arms while she slept. Her words were mumbled though, and incoherent as they left her.

 

[Vulpesen]

He smiled and sat there with her enjoying the beautiful woman in his arms. "A bolt to the hand and she starts sleeping like a baby." He chuckled and kissed her forehead. It was interesting to be reminded of their mortality, especially when it was done in such harmless times as this.

She would remain like this for a few hours, completely drained as she lay there, the danger clear that if she ever used this force power, it would be as a last resort because afterwards there would be no more fighting for Alexandra. She continued to mumble as he held her and even at one time shifted in his arms as she let go of his neck and turned towards his chest. Her hands would grab onto his shirt and her breathing soft as she slowly recovered.

 

[Vulpesen]

He found her movements and murmurs endearing as she slept. As she took a hold of his shirt, he rested his head lightly on hers. No doubt Ace and Daeda were wondering here the hell they were, but he didn't necessarily care. Actually, he was just enjoying the moment as it was, even if it was without the blue fuzzball on his shoulder.

She soon after found herself blinking slowly and slowly waking up as she looked into his eyes and scanned his face. "Uh... how long was i out..." She looked around, still in the same place she had collapsed. Her silver eye closed again though as she felt his arms around her clenching his shirt a bit tighter again and smiling.

 

[Vulpesen]

He chuckled and kissed her as he shifted to get a bit more comfortable. "A couple hours. Suns about to start setting. Not sure if you'll be able to sleep after that though." He pulled her a bit closer and enjoyed her smile. "So, what now? We can try to resume some training, or something else, whatever you want."

"I don't know, things are so perfect right now i don't want to even move. Maybe i can teach you illusions now, i wont have to move too much and you are already siting so that removes the first half of getting ready... i promise not to kiss you while you are concentrating, too much atleast." She grinned and reached up, touching his cheek though not really doing more than that.

 

[Vulpesen]

He smiled at her words. "Well I'd certainly be concentrating. Just don't think I'd be concentrating on the right thing." He moved her a bit off of him as he would be training rather soon. As she touched his cheek, he smiled and stood up a bit straighter. "So, where do we begin?" Sure he had been taught by the fallanassi, but that had simply been philosophies, nothing truly practical.

"There are two types of illusions, just as there are two forms of expression. A Physical and a Mental Illusion. A Physical Illusion is one that everyone sees, that is not directed at a certain person or group as everyone will see and experience it. While this is a common illusion, it is extremely difficult to pull off one of such advanced skill that its actions appear to make an impact on the world around it. These illusions are best suited for auditory and visual need when there is a large amount of people. The Next is the mental variation, the kind that plays on a single persons or a certain group, each mind being added making the Illusion harder to maintain. These Illusions are the kind that can make a man think his own hand has been cut off when it is still there in the first place. They are best for when dealing with a single man or specified targets of the illusion and are generally more useful in torture or subduing enemies without truly harming them."

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen nodded to her words, easily committing it to memory. "Will we be practicing the second one first? Physical illusions sound more practical,but by the sound of it, mental might be a better idea to help me learn." He leaned back on his hands and watched her, waiting for some sort of answer that would allow him to know how to start.

"Just as the name implies you have to be able to infiltrate and influence the mind of your target, the stronger the influence the greater your illusion can be until you can make them imagine their own body was shattered under a rock. And that, is what i want you to do to me, first, infiltrate my mind, and try to influence it, this ability is only limited by your will and your imagination, start small though for now, maybe a flower. Or perhaps a small flame in your hand? Who knows.

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen nodded to her words and closed his eyes. WA moment later and the force started to flow through him. The concept wasn't unfamiliar to him. It was much like a jedi mind trick, an ability he had had much practice in. Before he had only changed one's judgement. Now he was to change sight. It wasn't hard to reach Alexandra's mind with how close the two already were. Once he was inside, he tried a minuscule change. Something almost unnoticeable yet in some ways, it would stand out more than anything. The white streak in his hair. The patch of white he had had since a young boy and in that moment, he started to change it, allowing Alexandra to see what he would look like if his journey hadn't started and he had never gotten into that fight, all those years ago.

She saw the change, though she knew it was an illusion she did fall for it a moment and smiled. It was time to distract him now. "Hey Vulps, your hair is on fire now... is that part of the illusion?" She held a perplexed and worried look, as if it really did look like it was on fire and while he would find the words spoke she gave him a subtle illusion of her own, feeling it a bit hotter on his head and some light coming off it, as if there was a flame up there.

 

[Vulpesen]

For a moment, her trick worked and Vulpesen felt a seize of panic until he thought about the circumstances. As someone who once took a fireball from Emperor Krag himself, he knew what it was like to be en-flamed. "Oh, haha. Nice try." He focused on the "fire" and its dissipation within moments, it was gone and he rose a brow at her.

The fire would disappear but then she would look at his hand and try to make that disappear as well, a subtle suggestion that he could not feel or see it any more and see how quickly he would respond. There wouldn't be any thing like pain, just a void with not a feeling left in that area. Her own hand closed slowly as she placed it under her chin and stared at him with a small grin that brought her face into a vision of joy.

 

[Vulpesen]

He looked down at hi hand and sighed. "You're just having too much fun with this." He reached down and slowly he noticed the rest of his arm moving as he pressed against an invisible barrier. As he assured himself that his hand did, in fact, exist, he focused on Alexandra's shoulder, doing his best to increase the feeling of weight as if someone were leaning against her. "Looks like the wolves found us."

She knew Daeda wasn't there, but instead of making the illusion vanish she gave it more reality as she formed a perfect replica of Daeda over her shoulder in Vulpesen's mind, everything the same and to the point that he could even touch the wolf if he wanted. "So he is..." She smiled, he was doing very well and making a game out of this took away all the need to be tiring with their training, and the bore that came with constant Meditation. Sure it wasn't the normal way to learn something, but it was much more effective.

 

[Vulpesen]

He chuckled and focused somewhere else, once again diverting the rivers of the force into a new pattern. It was a simple trick, the ability to change the colors on one's perceptions and after a bit of constant focus, Alex's robes and hair had gone form white to black. The actual change was easy. Placing it on a larger area however had proven something of a challenge. "Just like when we first met."

She grinned and leaned in close to him as she kissed him suddenly, speaking softly. "Did you like my better with dark hair mister?" She grinned wide as she didn't even try to alter the illusion now, waiting for his answer as she looked at his eyes and waited for the answer that was to come from him. Only after would she alter the illusion accordingly, keeping the dark hair and clothing as they were, or changing them back to their natural colors and letting him have his moment.

 

[Vulpesen]

His concentration was shattered by her kiss, but he didn't really mind that much. After all, it wasn't exactly a bad way to do it. "I admit, I like your dark hair. However, I fell in love with you like this. I guess it just doesn't really matter to me. Whichever you feel better with." He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her a bit closer, happy to spend the moment with the woman he loved, no matter what color her hair was.
