Once More with Feeling (Need Master)

[Azlyn Ike]

Azlyn remained silent while the man came in and took the seat. She enjoyed the level of devotion they had and moved when directed. Her instructions clear while her hands came out to cradle and trace his face lightly. Looking at him from under her bangs and she focused on the force. She pushed at him but not physically letting the skin contact guide her mental attack. She was pushing as much force energy to bring fear upon him."

Crystal watched Azlyn, and of course was not surprised that the man wasn't already cowering in fear. The Zeltron was just learning, so it very unlikely that she'd complete the task immediately. So, she'd offer some instruction to guide her thought process in the right direction.

She spoke silently in the white haired woman's mind. ~The Force flows through all living beings, you want to intimidate him. Expand your presence into his mind. Impose your thoughts on him. Make them intimidating thoughts.~

Depending on the man, it may or may not be enough to reveal fear. But, it was certainly a beginning.

Azlyn crooned her head as her master whispered and listened to the instructions. She understood what to do and she focused on the man making sure her hands didn't press on his skull but she needed that physical contact to press. She forced the fear, thinking about what had scarred her on Dxun and those worlds as a child the darkside of zeltros being an albino and her hatred of her weakness as a child. All that fear she gave to him.

Crystal watched Azlyn with her head tilted. It was interesting that she was projecting her own fear on him rather than making him afraid with thoughts of torture, maiming and death, among other things. Still, the man was clearly disturbed by Azlyn's efforts.

She offered encouragement. ~Show him what you're capable of as you see it through your eyes.~ All the things she'd like to do, or try, and unleash if given the opportunity to do so. Crystal wanted to see it too.

What she wanted to do? She wasn't a sadist.... not really maybe she liked the idea of power but being evil didn't mean she couldn't have manners while she focused and observed the man. Thinking about his skin and how she could flay it or use her limited empathy to find what gave him the most pain and pleasure and bring them to a brink. She knew ways that zeltrons could bring pleasure and had seen the darker side of her people. Some were sadists to the point of torture and worse which she thought about and projected into him. "Fear."

Whether or not she was a sadist was irrelevant. The point was to make him believe that she was, and for him to be afraid of her. How she got to that point was her choice of course. Crystal continued to observe the man, who was a little nervous with her proximity to him. And the Zeltron's instability. Still, he didn't move.

Azlyn just gave a nod of her head while she continued to focus on the man. She was pushing all thoughts and things she could do to him out of herself and into his head. She wanted him soiling himself and to impress or at least please her master. That was what truly mattered in the end of this training session.

 

[Crystal]

Azlyn was improving vastly, but she needed to use stronger images to really drive the fear home. To demonstrate, she planted the image of her skinning the Zeltron woman alive in her mind. It was normally effective enough to break a being. Especially when the skin came off in one horrible sounding rip. The pain would be unimaginable, and death would be certain.

Then she spoke in her apprentice's mind. ~The most painful and horrifying thing that you can do to someone is what you should project.~

She wondered that the Zeltron would do next.

Azlyn felt it, seeing the image of her skin coming off as she sent it into the man. Wanting to be rid of it and not imagining it. That was what her master could do to her or worse make her think it, she imagined Crystal doing it to her for mistakes and dangerous things. She didn't like it but she would send her own images of flaying and other tortures into the man. She thought about disecting him and tearing at the sinew of his muscles to get down to the bones before tearing at them and breaking them over and over.

Crystal smiled. Azlyn was getting the hang of it now. The man was very clearly sorry that he'd volunteered for this task. He was sweating and his eyes were wide. He'd heard of those people. Even followers of Ithari weren't that sick. Still, he had his pride and would not give two women the satisfaction of hearing his protests. But he was concerned that things would get real very quickly.

Silently she communicated to Azlyn ~Continue. He is beginning to break.~

Azlyn focused breathing out more as she pushed, her nails biting in and leaving small crescent indents but she was trying to not break the skin. These would heal and her curtain of white hair blew a little whil she pushed the force along the length of her body to send all thoughts into him. She could hear her master and gave a nod of her head focusing upon it deeper and deeper to twist her images and thoughts into him.

It was only a matter of time before the man would break, and before Azlyn would collapse from fatigue. Which would come first? Well, that she would see soon enough. But, would she know her limits? Probably not. One never took into account that it was their first time and that was difficult enough. Pushing too hard would leave her exhausted for a couple of days at least.

That didn't matter, because when all was set and done, one or both of them would be passed out. As promised, she took care of the man and his memories. He would walk out of the room of his own accord and with no memory of what had just happened to him. And then there was Azlyn. If she was unconscious, Crystal would take her to her quarters. If she was still awake, she would escort her to her quarters, as it was likely that collapse was imminent.

Azlyn didn't pass out... not completely... she had fallen back and was sitting on her butt while her master went to work. Knowing her limits was not a strong suit, mainly cause she didn't know the limits. Or at least when it came to hers, the force was infinite the body was not and she had a smirk on her face while her master was taking her back to her room. To rest and recharge while Azlyn spoke looking up at her master a little laying in the bed and blowing some of her hair from her face. "Did I do good my master."

Crystal almost laughed upon hearing Azlyn’s question. It was reminiscent of some of her descendants over the years. A few of the children had been very eager to please their living Grandmother, great and greater in some cases. And so eager to learn. That was why she enjoyed teaching, because she’d started with her own children when she was still young. It was the same but different when she taught ignorant adults. In a lot of ways, it was easier to train a child because their imaginations would do most of the work for them. But with adults, language and communication was a real asset. Precise directions and descriptions could be helpful.

She answered the white haired Zeltron though, as she put Azlyn on her bed, complete with a correction. “You did well. You’re making good progress. Rest, and see me in a day or two.”

Azlyn gave a nod of her head to that, letting her eyes close and sleep come. She was worn out and hadn't expected such a mental toll to be had from training, she would have with fighting but training shouldn't have been so difficult.... but then she knew she was learning skills few others did. Or learnign them right, taking the time to get the basics and prepare for the training and time it would take down the line as she pressed her skills.

Two days later she was awake in the bed and her hair was plastered to her face. White strands of hair wet with sweat and the zeltron moved to the refresher taking a shower. The steam and vapor soothing her while she got dressed in a form fitted silk bodysuit and robes reflecting her goddesses colors. Heading out to meet her master while her hair wet and tied back in a large for the moment ponytail was still semi wold.

Crystal was in the mess hall, where she could normally be found when she had nothing more pressing to do. It was interesting to her to people watch, and look for those that she could potentially train for the Crusade.

It had been two days, so she was fairly certain that Azlyn would be making an appearance sometime that day. In the mean time, she was munching on some chocolates.

Azlyn was walking towards the mess hall and standing there for a moment she took the tie out of her hair with a small grin on her face. Looking around as she found her master and bowed her head goign over to her, her body was relaxed and she shivered a little remembering. "Master." She sat down and popped her neck looking at it all while her stomach growled a little. "Sorry I passed out."

 

[Crystal]

[member="Azlyn Ike"]

Crystal nodded to her white haired apprentice as she approached and gestured for her to take a seat. “You will learn your limits. It is all part of learning.”

She noted the stomach growling. “Eat something, before your stomach makes a scene.” The Princess smirked and chuckled before offering her some of the plate she’d been eating from.

Azlyn gave a nod of her head to that, getting up to get some food and she would learn her limits. She vowed it at least there was only so many times you could pass out and not learn. It was the way to go and grabbing a tray of food she welcomed some fo the drink with some bread. "Thank you." Going to sit down with with her master as she was across from her and taking a bite of food. "So master can I ask what we shall practice next?"

 

[Crystal]

Crystal smirked. “Well, now that you’ve learned about instilling fear in others, you need to learn to channel it yourself. When in combat, using your fears to induce a rage will enhance your agility and strength. Of course this is a draining ability, so it’s not meant to be used for long periods of time. Today, we will see if you’ve learned anything about your limits at the same time.”

She continued snacking as the Zeltron ate. Azlyn would need her strength.
