A position and it's price.

[Dar Moraal]

Dar looked back at [member="Darth Erebos"]. "I am more familiar with the burning rage but the cold rage sounds more.... efficient." Dar pondered on how to fuel a cold rage. Not quite familiar with it he didn't know how to achieve it. He'll spend an hour or two to meditate on this once this lesson is over. "The all consuming hatred however sounds wasteful, powerful yes. But no room for thought or cunning. It seems more like a liability than an asset." Pondering it for second more he replied "Burning rage because I am more attuned to it the others would require me to meditate in order to achieve such a state."

 

[Shaddi]

"If you wish I can tell you how to achieve cold rage though others might think of you as a sociopath due to the method I've devised." Ereobs then said as he breathed in and then out. [member="Dar Moraal"] was about to get the same lesson that Darth Sidious had thaught to Count Dooku and even attempted to teach to Anikin. However he'd have to ask for it, for it to begin.

 

[Dar Moraal]

"I have already committed enough atrocities that the title Sociopath is not too far off, so yes I'd like you to teach me this method [member="Darth Erebos"]" His giddiness returned at the thought of achieving this "cold rage". He shuffled in anticipation.

 

[Shaddi]

"Inside every force user is a place, a clear place as briskly clean as ice on a mountain top, cool and remote. Find that high place and look down within yourself, breathe that clean icy air as you regard your emotions but above all do not deny them. Instead observe them, take your horror, fear, anger, all of your emotions and look at them, examine them as if they were a simple phenomenon, smell them, taste them, come to know them as only you can, for they are yours and they are precious."
Erebos began and waited for [member="Dar Moraal"] to achieve this as it had taken Erebos quite a while to achieve it himself but he had to do it by himself, something Dar wouldn't have to worry about.

 

[Dar Moraal]

Dar just stood there and retreated inside his own mind. Surrounded by his own thoughts and emotions. All the rage, the hate. And is that... a hint of guilt? Quickly avoiding that unpleasant corner of his mind he let the dark side guide him to the "Place" [member="Darth Erebos"] spoke of. He lost the concept of time. It could have been hours, weeks, or even mere minutes before he finally found it. As he looked down at himself he was..disgusted... yet altogether pleased with it. Concentrating on speaking without disturbing this state he just found he said "I.. have found it" Concentrating even harder he turned away from the guilt in his mind. It distracted him.

 

[Shaddi]

"Excellent, now listen carefully to what I'm about to say." Erebos then said to [member="Dar Moraal"], he had been waiting for two hours passing the time with a silent meditation of his own. He had also been keeping three metal balls floating over his desk since they had left his office in the first place. "The place should feel remotely frozen but at the same time as hotly intimate as anything you have ever felt, once you are there take your emotions, handle them, dissect them, pull them apart and resemble them. You should still feel them, if anything they should burn hotter than before but they should no longer have the power to cloud your mind. This should be your exercise as you meditate on the mantra of the sith, understanding it and this exercise is the key to unlocking cold rage."

 

[Dar Moraal]

Dar focusing nodded. Not one to waste any time he began immediately. He concentrated once again losing all concept of time and awareness of the outside. He slowly observed and dissected them and resembled them. He saved his guilt for last. He didn't want to remember his past. After dissecting this he felt uncomfortable to say the least. This was a part of him he didn't was to be close to. After handling it with the rest he simply absorbed the strangely intimate sensation. Easily seeing himself getting addicted to this he focused again and replied. "[member="Darth Erebos"]... I am fairly certain I did a satisfactory job on it and I apologize for the wait I must have put you through." Opening his eyes for the first time since finding the "place" he found something to be different but he couldn't really put his finger on it.

 

[Shaddi]

"You feel your emotions but you understand them much more now don't you? Their source and what they can do to you? If you have an emotion that you don't like then keep dissecting it and increase your understanding of this emotion in your free time. Don't worry the cold rage will come in time but it's function is still that to allow you most of your rage to fuel your power but your mind should always be clear and free of emotional distractions. Once you've mastered this, you should always have a leveled head in any situation." Erebos then said as he moved his hand outwards towards a spot on the far wall. "When using force Lightning focus the force into your hate and rage then imagine them building up within your core and then transfer it to your arm and then to your forearm, before going through your wrist and out your fingers, culminating in force Lightning. Beware though you have to build up a wall of force energy stronger than the power you are putting out to keep it moving in the direction you want other wise it will backfire and fry your arteries, muscles and skin instead of your enemies." After saying that he sent a lightning bolt towards the wall, a demonstration of what he had just said to [member="Dar Moraal"].

 

[Dar Moraal]

Dar slowly turned toward the wall. Using the rage and hate he just dissected he pointed he arm toward the wall. He thought for a moment. What if he were not to focus on just the arm? Could he burst force lightening out of his whole body in that case? It wouldn't be very effective near allies but when surrounded by enemies it could be very useful. Focusing his rage and hate down his arm very raw and unconcentrated force lightening hit the wall. Sparks flew off his suit and he fell to his knees. His voice modifier gone his raspy and wheezy breathing could be heard. His natural voice sounded deep and baritone but very weak and strained "I apologize...I forgot to take into account my suit. I shall have to remedy this in the near future." He bowed his apologetically.
[member="Darth Erebos"]

 

[Shaddi]

Erebos had to chuckle, it was so similar to his own though his hands had simply been burned for a little while. "Well that is another reason for the need to practice this without any suits to get the best possible depth out of your training." Erebos explained as he moved to [member="Dar Moraal"] and moved his hand forwards in a gesture to take the glove for now while they trained this skill.

 

[Dar Moraal]

Dar pulled back. "I... cannot [member="Darth Erebos"] this suit serves medical as well as practical uses. Taking off the glove would cause me to be extremely... uncomfortable. I was suggesting I modify the suit so it will be more resilient in the future" his raspy breathing had seemed more profound the longer he carried on. "This was my reason for being so eager about Darth Andeddu... His body transference method would serve me very well but until then I must either modify this suit or rely on my superior telekinesis and crushing abilities" Dar was truly embarrassed by his vulnerability. His wheezy breathing began to sound painful. "Might I request a droid of some sort?" (Sorry lightening was one of his weaknesses I plan to get rid of via a modified suit but as I haven't done that yet my char is very sensitive to it.) His rage at being so weak filled him and it grew to hate. He dissected it and put it with the others. He didn't care if his employer saw his anger.

 

[Shaddi]

Erebos seemed to stare at [member="Dar Moraal"] for a few minutes before he spoke in a simple manner. "Use...it." His tone was commanding and his speech had been slow when he said it. "Use the pain, figure it out and embrace it for once you've done that. Your suit will simply be a minor annoyance, ZTI might hold the key to restoring your body as well but I will promise you that if I ever learn the secret of transfer essence then I will teach it to you but in the mean time." He said before he moved his hand forwards, bringing enough of his might in force power and telekinesis to force Dar to the ground and to lie upon it. "Use the emotions you feel, don't let them rule you! Rule them and break free of this hold."
Erebos was now intent of teaching Dar, but to do that he had to show the acolyte the path to self improvement and the use of cold rage, Dar had to break out of his comfort zones many times if he wished to improve himself and be hurt in the process. However what he needed and what Erebos was hoping to teach him now was to simply not give up or give in to the feelings of helplessness and reliance on others.

 

[Dar Moraal]

Dar hated this. He took that hate. He fed it he let it grow. It festered inside him like a virus. It was powerful and intoxicating. But it had no power over him. Getting back into the "Place" he dissected it even quicker this time. Taking his feeling of helplessness he resembled that too. Even his guilt he took and reshaped. All of them he used to power him. He took that power and it surged up his arm and at his master. His voice no longer wheezy but strong said calmly "Get off me" Lightening arced from his fingertips and at [member="Darth Erebos"] it caused untold damage to his suit but at the moment all he cared about was the fact he was pinned down. He refused to be helpless and weak.

 

[Shaddi]

Erebos took the force lightning as it came at him, allowing it to hit his arm and it seemed to wrap around his arm before it dissipated. "Good, [member="Dar Moraal"], you've learned well." He said as he let Dar go from his telekinetic grip and took a few steps back away from Dar. He looked Dar over through his force sight, he could see the damage that the attack had caused and he moved his hand up to the side of his helmet and activated his com link. "Miss Tann, please send in a medical team to my training room and include any one that has experience with medical suits." He said as he turned his face towards Dar's own. "So tell me how does it feel?"

 

[Dar Moraal]

"The lightening feels powerful, enlightening. The suit however feels as if I was stuck inside a coffin." Dar stood to his full height his voice only slightly strained. "I would love to learn more." It wasn't a request. It was a statement. He wanted to learn more. "Perhaps if I become powerful enough I can live with this suits limitations?"
[member="Darth Erebos"]

 

[Shaddi]

"You just might become like Darth Vader if you keep this up." He said with a slight chuckle, if his suit was a problem in the application of force Lightning then something else would be taught instead. "There are medical and repair teams on the way. We will end the lesson here until your suit has been repaired to it's full capacity. Once that is done the lesson will move on into Lightsaber forms." Erebos said to [member="Dar Moraal"] as he moved to dismiss the droid ball which floated off back into the corner of the room and inserted itself into it's hole in a cabinet.
In a few minutes a team of chiss entered the training room, it was a team of four medical officers and three officers trained in medical suits and cybernetics. They would transfer Dar into the private medical room on the same floor and would repair his suit and provide any medical treatment he'd need.

 

[Dar Moraal]

As Dar finished up with the repairs he thought more deeply about his usage of the force. What if he were to use something else as a conduit for his force lightening? Like an object for example? As he got up he politely thanked the chiss and continued down the corridor toward the training room. Sadly up until this point he's been using his own brutal form of armed Echani. Learning forms would most certainly prove to be advantageous. He was very eager to continue.

[Shaddi]

In the training room Erebos was facing off against two Typhojem Saber-droids at the same time, however it was clear they would overwhelm him in time. Alone he could deal with one at a time but both at the same time were well coordinated and their form was near expert levels. Erebos held his own but it was clear he wasn't going to come out on top on saber skills alone.
When Erebos noticed [member="Dar Moraal"] come in he jumped slightly back and raised his hand to signal the droids to stop, which they did and then moved into the corner of the room. In their still state they seemed more like ceremonial statues than droids. Turning his head towards Dar, Erebos nodded to him though his chest was heaving a bit from the exercise. "I see the procedure was successful." He said as he turned of the single hilt saber in his hand off but held it in his hand. Around his belt hung his own cross guard lightsaber and another single hilt one as well.
"Are you at all familiar with a saber? If not then I shall instruct you in the first form as from it is based most of the others." He said with as he handed the saber hilt he had been using to Dar, it was a Training saber.

 

[Dar Moraal]

Dar pulled out a curved light saber and a elongated saber from his cloak and dropped them to the floor. Taking the training saber he replies "I am familiar with sabers but I am not with the forms up until now I have been using my own form of armed Echani." He balances the training saber in his hand and weighing it. Finding a comfortable way to hold it he waits for [member="Darth Erebos"] to begin
