Walking with the darkness of the force

[Nomkneer]

Atrisia, a wonderous world of swords, honor and courage that bonds life upon its people. Nothing was so ever gracious as the laughter of the future and the history of the past, in the palace walls of the Atrisian Palace lies many secrets of its past. Emperors, Movements, secrets and documents that could ultimately bring destruction upon the order. Many things were kept secret, but Nomkneer didn't care much about that, the only thing that intrigued him was a scroll.

The scroll was very ancient, left there as if it was none important, the scroll introduced itself by stating these words, "But ghosts may be bound and their strength borrowed, for a time. You must pull on the tether that connects life and death. You must learn to bind both sides of the Force, life and death, in what is known as the Force walk."
Nomkneer was confused about what it meant but when he read force walk, he knew that it had something to teach and Nomkneer had something to learn.

Nomkneer was reading the scroll in the arboreum, Nomkneer went deep within his mind and was trying to open doors he could not open in the past. His complete concentration was needed and the teachings he was about to learn was gonna completely shatter his mind into an abyss of darkness, if he doesn't have cautiousness, he could end up in quite the predicament.

[Mythos]

As Emperor nothing was hidden from the eyes and ears of Lord Mythos about what happened in the Royal Libraries so when a single Kaleesh took one of the Forbidden scrolls Mythos was intrigued as to what caught the Attention of what was the Most Prized General in all Atrisia. His walkto the Kaleesh's meditation was slow but filled with thoughts of curiosity.

Upon arriving at what seemed to be a secluded part of the Main Palace Mythos locked eyes upon the meditating Kaleesh yet said nothing to alert the Young Acolyte of his presence. Mythos walked and paced silently upon the room and sat in a corner flanked by his Axe and the Rudis of the Dark Lord in his belt and strapped upon his back. His right hand wrapped in bacta Bandages to fix damage he had suffered in Korriban and the Robes of the Emperor made him an imposing image to behold.

Mythos closed his eyes and focused on the mind of the Kaleesh entering his thoughts and rummaging through what he was doing. He came upon the words and thoughts that when put together revealed to Mythos the reason for this meditation: An Ability Far Beyond an Acolytes' skill level and even beyond Mythos' own. Mythos smiled when he realized this and considered himself impressed by the Tenacity and ambition of the Young Kaleesh.

Mythos sent him a simple Telepathic message. << What you seek is beyond my Knowledge, but i can assist you in the hunt for knowledge... Continue as if i am not here...>>

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer was reaching maximum concentration on the meditation with the force, he remembered when he read the scroll there was specific poses of meditation to reach such level of concentration. The scroll also said "If you want to reach force walk there is many steps you have to do in order to learn the basics of this power, the first thing you need to know is that you will have to learn every step from the first to the last to complete the force walk, if you do not do the process as indicated it could end up in severe injuries, death or soul loss".

Nomkneer was not intimidated by the words within the scroll and the thirst for power gave him the spark of concentration he needed. Nomkneer heard his companion of the sith, Lord Mythos, a man deserving of respect, a man that has earned his rank and scars through the work of his sweat and his hands. Nomkneer was ever so thankful to Mythos for lending him his hidden documents so that he could research new techniques for battle.

Mythos lit a large Cigaro filled with rare herbs found in Endor and bought with a ridiculous amount of credits. The sweet smoke snuffed the air and filled his lungs with it's hot and toxic fumes blurring his mind and tainting his eyes with a red and yellow tint. Mythos initially said nothing and observed but when he heard the words from the mind of the Kaleesh he was sure what was the needed process of this intense and possibly dangerous session. There was nothing he could do and he knew it.... He was powerless to teach or to help.... Nomkneer would need to do this alone...

But he was not alone....

Mythos focused his mind to impart some of his Strength to the Kaleesh through battle meditation. An Ability he had never tried but knew if he did not execute it at least mildly right now his General could be dead. The Dark Energies left Mythos like Injections of Power and swept through the Air landing upon the Kaleesh' body heightening his power slightly and his stamina as well. <<This is all i can do General... The rest is all in your hands... Good luck>>

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer was undoubtedly focused on his task, suddenly he heard his companion send him a message. Power and energy came to Nomkneer like a glass of water on the hottest of desserts, Nomkneer was hours focused within meditation, trying to concentrate into a level where he can separate part of his soul so that he could then learn how to grab other souls and attach their power to his own.

Nomkneer was already about 3 hours concentrated in the middle of the room and Lord Mythos standing there smiling with eyes as red as fresh spilled blood. Smoke was flowing through the air with the freedom of the world, Nomkneer was breathing the incense of the herbs like if they were candles for meditation. Nomkneer suddenly felt a reaction to the herbs that somewhat helped him through his force walk lesson, he felt his mind leaving his body but his soul was attached on him still, at that moment he had sort of figured out a very small part on what and how he had to do in order to do things right. Mythos didn't know but with the smoke of the fancy cigar and the herbs he had lit, he accidentally had helped Nomkneer through his lesson of the force walk.

[Mythos]

Mythos smiled as he felt the energy of The General Increase and if his reading of Force Signatures was correct there was a separation of mind and body going on in this room right now. The Force was moving in this room but not in any way Mythos had ever seen, Mythos knew that Force Walk was an ability and he knew that Force Walk was in a way the single most dangerous ability a Force User could learn however he did not know anything about the Structure of a Force Walk Training thread. It was in every single way, out of his Comfort zone and his zone of knowledge.

Before he let Nomkneer in on any thoughts that would disrupt his concentration and his Training Mythos chose to remain quiet and puff away at his Cigaro while the Hours passed and the sun plopped down from the sky giving way to the Moon of Atrisia that gleamed through the night sky like a silver sword of starlight. Hours had passed by yet Mythos was still maintaining his concentration in his Meditation to give the General the strength he needed, it was as much a training for him as it was for the General... Both were learning something here... and the Hours... would turn into days.

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer was going through deep memories in his mind, something the scroll had mention is that "for you to be able to enter the force walk and seperate part of your soul from your body, you need to maintain balance in your mind, good and evil, happiness and fear, wisdom and insanity", Nomkneer was about to learn just how difficult the process of learning the force walk was. In the middle of the thick concentration, he had reached mental clearance and had found a blank spot in his mind where he used to amplify his concentration even more.

A bliss mind is the greatest weapon of a warrior, from mental clearance comes the ability to focus on your surroundings and process the information to your advantage. Nomkneer was highly connected to the force at this moment, any fatal flaw to this ritual could end up in the loss of Nomkneers soul. This was the line where Nomkneer is at his greatest risk, and he will try to overcome his mind in order to reach a bond with the force.

[Mythos]

While the Good General found his Mind in bliss Mythos found his mind in a trance between Mental Exhaustion and Euphoria from the effect of the Herbs in his mind. Mythos found that the Force flowed through him with more ease as he let go of the reigns of the Force and let it flow freely and without control. This was one of those moments where Mythos found himself in a slightly Light-sided aura because of his reluctance to control the force and his connection to peace and serenity, Harmony and Wisdom.

Mythos channeled his power into the General to give him the strength he needed to continue on his journey to unlocking the secrets of Force Walk and the absorption of one's soul however it had become increasingly difficult to do so because Mythos had been keeping a battle meditation for three hours and his mind was beginning to show signs of Fatigue.

The Axe of Adas came into play now filling what he needed in power in exchange for an entry in his mind and the Visions of Past wars that plagued the User of the Axe ever since it's discovery. For Twenty thousand years the Axe had remained dormant under the sands awaiting the Chosen to unleash it... that... was Mythos... Lord of Atrisia and Emperor of it's people... The One Sith was his Banner and his strength was that of an Oxi beast.....

The Meditation would continue undaunted.

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer had been focusing for several hours now, exhaustion was soon beggining to happen within Nomkneers body and mind, Mythos was helping the young acolyte as much as he could by transferring his force energy to Nomkneer. Nomkneer was in a stage of dormant body and awakened mind, it was very hard now to make connections with the kaleesh as his mind was more into the force than in his body, this was where the cards were played with all odds. Nomkneer could easily loose his soul and mind to the force within the attempt to learn this move called force walk.

Nomkneer suddenly could sought to come back but it was very difficult to do so, an emanating threat was occurring within Nomkneer, it was as simple as the scroll said, as soon as you separate more than half of your mind and soul from your body, try to make it come back to it, this exercise is basically the main structure in order to achieve the absorption of another persons soul and powers. This was a task that Nomkneer had to do by himself, not even Mythos' force energy could save him now, he's in a situation where if the last string that connects his soul to his body, break, he could loose his own self to the force and leave an empty body behind.

 

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer was in a predicament, he was in a position where he had to find a way to pull his life force, his mind and soul from the detachment he had already done. This was a task that was difficult just by itself, but Nomkneer is the kaleesh that might just do it, basically what he had to do was to try to pull the life force he had detached as if he was pulling a rope.

Nomkneer had no idea how this could be done, it was if you had to awake from a nightmare you are forbidden to leave from. This was a situation where only by being calm and control would be handy. Nomkneer tried many things like meditate and try to move, but it was useless, Nomkneer had no idea how to do this. Nomkneer then figured out something by accident, he felt whenever he would empower his force energy the connection led to the body as well, as they are still connected, maybe this is the way Nomkneer could pull his life force into his body.

 

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer had recollected so much information from the past several hours, Mythos' help with the energy is alot for if he did not have the right amount he could loose his life force from loss of force energy. Nomkneer suddenly spiked his force energy to see if his soul and mind, the life force would finally show signs of it being pulled, or something.

After spiking the force energy the body reacted to it, the life force slowly began to make its way in the body, but it wasn't going fast, it was taking so slow that it would probably take a few more hours to completely re-seal inside of Nomkneer, he finally found a way to do this, and he needs to really understand and figure out how to control the force walk like a switch and what other diverse things you could do with it, is it just for pulling souls and earning their powers, or can i enter another realm and take a soul from the dead, these are all mysteries Nomkneer would like to answer.

 

[Nomkneer]

After many hours of spiking energy and Mythos doing battle meditations to keep the flow of force energy to a regular, he was amazing help for Nomkneers force walk lesson. Nomkneer after 5 more hours of empowering the force energy, he finally was able to pull his life force into his body, Nomkneer had to just do repeats of what he had done, but it wasn't easy and exhaustion was the greatest wall Nomkneer had to face.

Nomkneer had the force energy of Mythos and that was the only thing keeping him from loosing himself by the exhaustion it would instantly cause Nomkneer to spike the force energy to pull the life force, or spirit from his body. Nomkneer started focusing again on detaching part of his spirit to again pull it back in and repeat the process to perfect the technique.

 

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer had finally shown signs of him detaching his soul from his body, he was focusing mainly on detaching the part of his left arm and(or) torso, Nomkneer wanted to see if you take a part of your soul that doesn't come from the cerebral area then he could probably keep on moving about in the real world while taking a bit of his soul from a specific area and grabbing the ghost spirit of a dead opponent and getting his powers.

Nomkneer tried to do what he was planning but it was a difficult task just to remove his soul, but he could not control from where his soul would detach from, Nomkneer tried focusing, and after an hour and fourty eight minutes he finally could detach part of his soul, but by his unluckiness he could only remove his soul from the head to toe, it was too difficult to focus on one part, but the scroll does not say you can't do that, so maybe it is a possibility.

 

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer had removed his soul from his head and had already figured out how to do it but he cannot do it quickly, it takes him more than two hours to complete a half body detachment of his soul. Nomkneer had but only a little below his neck and his consciousness had left his body, Nomkneer felt like it was very possible to grab a ghost, but he didn't know if he needed to use the part of his soul of his hands, but it seemed like any part was good.

Nomkneer started spiking his energy to return it to his body to start the process again, this was gonna be a rinse and repeat the Nomkneer would remember for the rest of his life. Something was sure, Nomkneer was gonna have a hard time learning how to hasten the process of soul detachment and recovery.

 

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer had fastened the process by minutes and now he could detach up to his upper torso within an hour, Nomkneer was doing process step by step. Nomkneer was finally getting the hang of it and [member="Lord Mythos"] may very well see that himself too, his perceptiveness is something to admire, but he was in a concentration of his own, trying to battle meditate to share his force energy with Nomkneer has taken a toll on Mythos, but it would also strengthen his battle meditation to a point where it becomes a lethal weapon.

Nomkneer now had repeated the process, within one hour he had detached up to his upper torso and he had begun to spike his force energy to pull back his soul, but he was finding out the how is it that spiking the energy is what pulls the soul back in. Nomkneer was opening doors to misteries of force walk every minute that passed.

 

[Mythos]

Time passed with such a harmonious flow that the puff of the Cigaro was the only constant in the mind of Animus Malgus, also known as Lord Mythos Emperor of Atrisia and Will of the Emperor of the One sith. It had been almost a Day, a full twenty Four Hours filled the Concentration of this room and neither the General nor Mythos moved from their positions of Meditation during the night.

The Sun was slowly rising in Atrisia and the smoke of the Cigaro dimmed away next to the small pile of Ash beside where Mythos Sat with his eyes closed. For more than a day Mythos had focused on imparting some of his strength with battle meditation however his power was dwindling severely... Exhaustion claimed the eyes of the emperor as sags of black rings welled around his eyes but he refused to give up.

[member="Razor Shot"] came to his mind, a Lord so Powerful he could heal wounds by just passing his power to it... it had been so long since he had seen the power of such a lord and if anyone knew the secrets of Force Walk it was Him... However he was smoke.... impossible to find unless he wished to be found.... How he wished he could have his help however.... this was something Mythos needed to do alone... Battle Meditation was still not even familiar to him and as such his power was taxed when he tried to use the ability...

<< General... I can no longer Keep this up... we will need to continue on the morrow>>

Mythos gave his advice, but he was still imparting his power on to Nomkneer and would do so for a few more moments or as long as he could and his body permitted him to do so....
[member="Nomkneer artzhul"]

 

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer heard what Mythos had said, Nomkneer was on the process of pulling his soul back from his body. After one more hour he finally could bring his soul inside his body and Nomkneer gained consciousness and moved, "M'lord, you should rest your body is way to aggravated for this, if you keep up you will.. reach a comma or something even more dangerous than that".

Nomkneer had an idea of what he had to do, but he needed to gather force energy as the one he had, depleted, Nomkneer first took a rest and continued forty minutes later, he tried to regain his force energy with a method he has been practicing ever since his deadly sight training. Nomkneer sat down in meditation, and started to call out force energy from the universe. Nomkneer was trying to see if he could do it once more and gain a little bit of force energy with the meditation, even if it was just a slight amount, but the intent would be the key to breaking the wall and be able to have a bigger absorption of the force energy.

[member="Lord Mythos"]

 

[Mythos]

Mythos narrowed his eyes at the words of the General, it was something he would not do, he was not going to relinquish his status as a Powerful Force user and Master of the Force... he would push forward and drudge on further, pushing Nomkneer to finish what he started... however they would both need to rest soon.

Puffing away at the Cigaro Mythos did not relent on his Battle Meditation for a single glance of a second.... Instead he increased the intensity of the ability. As the Smoke left his lungs and parted from his lips Mythos opened his eyes and clenched his muscles enslaving the Force with the Dark side to shoot Nomkneer with an Injection of Energy that would blast him in a very significant way, more than earlier....

Mythos was beginning to understand battle meditation slowly but surely, this was prevalent as the tendrils of the Dark Side grew in power fueled by his exhaustion and defiance to his own body... and the Axe.

<<I may do into a coma but if i do... it will not be for lack of strength>>

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer suddenly gained a rush of energy that was far beyond the previous limitations, Nomkneer was in a mode of zen, he wanted to pull force energy from outside of his body and absorb it inside his body, he figured out how to do this in a slight manner, but it was not enough, he could only re-establish his original amount of energy, he wanted to try to find a way to store it inside his body as if it was an emergency storage of force energy that would replenish Nomkneer completely after he would unleash it upon himself.

Nomkneer was two hours concentrated, trying to regenerate energy, this was something he had started and since now he knew how to do it he needed to enhance it. Nomkneer after two hours had replenished half of his original force energy, Nomkneer was ready to continue the detachment of the soul and to pull it back, now that he had force energy enough to do it at least two times, he did. Nomkneer began to focus into detaching his soul so that he could keep practicing in his repetitions.

 

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer started to detach his soul again, the process would take less time the more tries Nomkneer doest it. Nomkneer now takes an hour to detach up to his torso and to pull the soul back in, but he needed to hasten the process in order to complete the first task of the scroll that was in Mythos' arboreum. Nomkneer could not jump to the third step if he couldn't finish perfecting the first and the second, Nomkneer would try to find a way to pull the soul without spiking his energy so much.

Nomkneer had his soul detached up to his torso again, in order to try to hasten the process from one hour to less time, after some quick thought that passed through Nomkneers mind, he had a hypotesis, when you spike the energy it pulls the soul, but maybe spiking the energy wasn't the correct way to do this, Nomkneer thought that maybe there was a way to do the same thing by just trying to use the method he uses to pull force energy into his body, and maybe he could come up with a way that pulls the soul with a less exhausting move.
