Deeper into the Fire pit (T'zanith Zebron)

[Darth Vaildra]

Lord Sabastian walked on the land of Mustafar, a planet of fire. His mind was still on the philosophy class a few weeks ago. He needed to promote respect to go through with his plans, but with the constant hierarchy it was become impossible. He watched the lava erupt from the many pools as he waited for his Apprentice's ship to arrive. It was time to advance his training and turn him into an extension of his power. He had requested to learn more Fire Shaping and so he would teach him animal shaping here along with how to control the heat levels. With control of the heat he could learn to turn fire into plasma one day.

"Sir we are coming up on Mustafar now." The captain said to the acolyte meditating in the middle of the bridge, floating an unfortunate young crew member around him who had stopped trying to get the sith to stop hours ago. Once he heard the captain's statement he put the crew member back, the young woman immediately ran out of the bridge. "What does the planet feature captain?" T'zanith said as he stood up.
"It is a volcanic planet my lord." The captain replied. "Of course.. it couldn't be a happy little beach planet noooo [member="Lord Sabastian"] seems intent on killing me with his training it seems." T'zanith mumbled as he walked off the bridge and out into the hot planet air as the ship landed. He walked outside and headed towards the meeting place his master had for meeting him, not that hard given how much he glowed in the distance.
He had calmed down on the way as he approached his master. "Master I'm here."

 

[Darth Vaildra]

"It's beautiful isn't it?" The way the lava moved, looked as simply a river, but when one looked closer they would see the beauty in all the turns and bursts of the lava, for him it was like staring in the ocean. "It is time to advance your training and that means less of me putting you in life and death sinareos, but I can't promise you won't put yourself in them. Now, make some fire in your hands."

Lord Sabastian held a gloved hand up and created a small flame hovering over his hand and touching nothing.

T'zanith looked over the area around them and did see that it had it's appeal but it was also quite hot. When asked to make fire in his hand he did so, creating a small flicker above his hand. "Like this?" He asked as he looked from the small flicker to his master. He hadn't really practiced that much with fire shaping as he was still not that well versed in the fundamentals of it to begin with. Another reason he had come to his master to learn the skill better so he would have more control over the fire he'd shape in the future.

"Indeed, the key to fire shaping is to understand what it is. You are not a human torch, but a scientist who works with molecules. Fire Shaping is speeding up the molecules of the air and objects around you at such a high frequency that they make fire." The flame in his hand began to grow hotter and then return to normal heat and then again flare. "By vibrating faster you are heating it to higher tempertures and if you go fast enough. "His super heated fire continued to grow brighter and brighter as he harnessed the flames into a plasma flame like a lightsaber blade unbound and un restrained except by Sabastian's power. He then closed his fist making it all disappear. "Does this make sense?"

T'zanith tried to do what [member="Lord Sabastian"] had spoken about and heated the fire in his hand just enough to make it flare before it dissipated in his hand. "I believe so but it isn't as easy as you made it sound master." He then said with a smile towards Sabastian as he tried again, with a similar result though the flame glowed just a bit brighter than before this time. "I don't suppose you can tell me the secret to making it look so easy as it was for you?" He then asked with a chuckle.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

" I have been fire shaping for 20 years and at 15 it just came natural to me. It is one of those abilities you need to do a lot and often. When you are sitting around, make flames and mold them." He watched The flame in T'Zanith's hand grow brighter and then return back. "A tip is to focus on the roots of base of the flame instead of the whole flame. The branches mimic the base."

T'zanith thought about a bit and then focused the force into the roots of a new flame he created, the flame quickly turned into a large halo which he made by holding both hands outwards, forming a T with his body. The color of the flame changed from normal yellowish color to a more darker red color before the fire dissipated. T'zanith was panting now as fire shaping like that drained him quickly. "Ho-how was that?" He asked Lord Sabastian as his chest fell a little forwards as he coughed a little before he raised himself again, the air on Mustafar wasn't exactly the best in his eyes.

"A bit too flashy, but you get the idea. Controlling the temperature of your fire is very important as it can burn you if you make it too hot and you can't handle it. Now, shaping itself, we will start with an easy animal." Sebastian walked away from hi a bit and to the railing overlooking the lake of fire below. he raised his hands over the Lava below and closed his eyes. Since the lava was moving it would be sometime for him to gather the lava he needed, but not long after he began a spot began to bubble. Slowly a fanged beast with a next that did not stop revealing a flaming serpent.His serpent's mouth was larger than them and it rose 5 stories above them. "This I call the Basilisk, the king of snakes. A snake is a great choice as it is not very complex so you can put more of her energy into size and power. Notice the Basilisk is made of condensed Lava. Fire shaping thakes less energy when you use the fire around you.

T'zanith stared and expanded both his sight and senses to see how [member="Lord Sebastian"] did what he did. Once he thought he had the gist of what his master was trying to teach him, he reached out with his hand towards the lava and reached out with the force into the Lava. The Lava bubbled and then exploded as T'zanith's attempt failed, with frustration fueling his power T'zanith reached out once again. This time however out of the Lava jumped a canine like creature, though it seemed more skeletal and with T'zanith's expression it was a failure for him.
The canine creature resembled a zombified Tuk'ata as it stood on a rock outcropping poking out of the Lava lake, it was the size of a dog (German shepherd) and growled at the two Sith before it's "Skin" began to bubble and then it burst leaving behind a lava pool as the only evidence it ever existed.
"It seems I'll have to train more to reach your seeming effortless use of this ability." T'zanith said to Sebastian as he turned his head to look at his master, the reason he had chosen to make a Tuk'ata was because he felt an affinity to the creatures. With another try he made a similarly sized Cobra come out of the lava which danced a little before it dove back into the lava. "You were right a snake is easier to conjure, but that doesn't make this any less draining." He then said as he leaned on the Railing for support as this had drained him quite a bit.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

Sebastian looked at the devilish dog, it was terrifying, but it appeared not what he was aiming for. He then watched the cobra come out and then go away. His own snake was still like a statue, but flawless in how it was being held up. He watched his apprentice lean against the railing as he had tired himself out and like always Sebastian would teach him a lesson with pain. He would take his cane in hand and sent it for the back of his legs aiming for the muscle. "Do not be foolish or else your enemy will kill you." Assuming the cane connected he would wait for the Apprentice to get back up. "Look closer at my creation, the lave it is in is constantly flowing through it and out of it making it new. I did not mold lava into a snake, I redirected the flow to forw a new one into a snake. It takes less energy to sustain and if someone attacks it, it will heal it quickly. This size is only doable in an open source like lava and cannot break from the source. Maybe when I master shaping more this won't be true, but for now it is." He snapped his fingers and the snake popped sending lava back raining down.

T'zanith instinctively moved his leg to lessen the blow from his master so that his leg only simply bent a little. He then stood tall as he fueled his body with the force to replenish some of his stamina. Listening to [member="Lord Sebastian"]'s explanation he placed his hand against his chin and then after formulating the instruction into terms he could fully understand he reached out once again. The lave bubbled once again and after a few minutes a large Fiery Tuk'ata burst out of the lava and stalked through the lava, snarling and growling at the two sith on the platforms above the lava. Each step moved lava into it's body while when it's paws moved up from the lava it let out was replenished with the step then taken.
T'zanith felt the difference in maintaining the creatures body was considerably less straining than before when he had the creature stand on top of the rock. "I believe I have begun to understand what you meant Master Sebastian."
