"He wants to be defeated."

[Guest Ψιτιsτηε Βεsτ]

So we don’t defeat him?

"Certainly not that. He's a man of his word, as far as I can tell, and if we don't meet his terms then he will slaughter what remains of the Order."

How does one sith, even a super powerful with, have the power to do that?

Feisyyd glanced over her shoulder, then replied, "He has gone beyond Mastery in every Principle. The Technique he employs is... rare. I suspect there are many aspects of it that we have yet to see, even."

[Guest Ψιτιsτηε Βεsτ]

Then how do we defeatt him?

[Channelknight Fadran]

"I do not know. However, he is hoping that you will all become powerful enough to defeat him - thus, it stands to reason that you can."

Nayla had kept quiet for most of this exchange, but spoke her mind now. "He feels so... cold. But it's a different kind of cold... different from what destroyed the Jedi Temple. That felt like malic and... and hatred, and anger. But he feels so much more powerful, and calmer at the same time."

Feisyyd glanced at her Padawan, then back ahead to where she led the students. "The Technique he uses... perhaps that isn't even the correct term. It is a Principle that he has mastered, and a dangerous one. You might call it Enlightenment, but even that may be insufficient."

“I don’t like it much.”

[Channelknight Fadran]

"The Force has always been two strands, woven together into a tapestry that cannot be severed by the strongest blade. Ashla and Bogan: Light and Dark. Since the most ancient days, beings from every corner of the universe have harnessed these threads, and since the most ancient days have fallen to corruption in either side.

"You have been taught that the Light is good and the Dark is evil, but that is simply false. It's a burning misconception, fueled by millenia of war and suffering - and yes, most of history's tragedies were brought about by the ones who wield the Darkness. But the two sides are not Good and Evil incarnate in the universe - they are instead Selflessness and Selfishness, neither of which a regular person can live without. Very few throughout the ages have ever completely forgone one of the ways and become One with the other, but those who have are noted as among the most powerful beings ever to exist."

Nayla was quiet; more so than usual. Her face was hidden even from her master.

"Mar'Bogan: the Truedark." Master Feisyyd said. "There is no longer anany doubt in my mind that this man has become One with the Darkness. What that means, I'm not sure, nor do I know how he can maintain such a state. But his actions speak to this, and it means that the tide of the Force has become stronger than ever. We approach of a time of intense struggle unlike anything the galaxy has seen since its birth."

“That’s… really bad, isn’t it.” Rukk asked.

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Yeah," Nayla replied.

"Bah! This is rubbish. Surely we can learn by real action!" Pucky said.

"That is exactly what he intends for you, and it is exactly what I intend for you. Three days is far too short a time to master the Force, but there are steps you can take to vastly improve your current power and potential."

[Guest Ψιτιsτηε Βεsτ]

Pucky looked reluctant. I will partake if everyone else does.

Yes

WEEKEND OVER; RP

 

also we're timeskipping for plot purposes, so lmk if you wanted something to happen with your characters before that.

Two days remained until their battle with Darth Krarik, and though that seemed far too short a time to thoroughly empower the challengers... it also seemed that this battle of the fates was all too distant, as though the training could simply wait for later. How long had it been since she'd become a Jedi Knight - twenty years? Thirty? One would think she'd have learned to repress the urges of procrastination, but they plagued her all the same.

Perhaps she was just tired. Short though her battle had been with the Assassin, it had seriously drained her. He had gone easy on the others, and for that reason they maintained the strength to keep fighting, but Feisyyd had met with a taste of his true power. The Force moved so much differently around beings like him, and to face such power head-on could be devastating; deadly, even, to the untrained. His sheer Presence was unlike anything she'd felt, even for the tiny, minute instants in which he'd let it propogate.

By now, Master Feisyyd had a pretty good idea of what his motivations were. She supposed there was still the possibility that he was concealing his true intentions, but deception seemed unnecessary for someone of his strength, and every action and word that Krarik had taken only served to support her theory. It was a simple motivation, most likely, but those were always the deadliest.

"I'm afraid we're already running short on time," Aria said, removing her cloak and bringing out her lightsaber hilt. "Reduce the power on your blades, and begin with Form One. Find a partner - your goal is to maintain Truesight for as long as possible amid an active situation. Push each other hard; we have little other choice now."

"Form one?" Cloud asked pulling out his lightsaber.

He fell into a basic sword fighting stance, hoping that would be close enough. Would the cult people have made up their own forms?

Right.

"Cloud, you can train with me." Master Feisyyd took out her lightsaber and fell into Form One. "Try to match my stance."

Rajib ignited their lightsaber and fell into form I.

“Yral?” they asked.

Rukk fell into stance, nervously. He wasn’t great at lightsaber dueling. “Ready?”

Nayla matched it, then calmed her breathing. Cautiously, she entered the Truesight state - though the amount of concentration she needed to maintain it seemed to loosen her stance. "Kay."

"Okay," He fell in beside her, shifting his stance. Then he tried his best to open his mind to everything around him at the same time.

Rukk entered truesight as well. Then he swung his saber.

Already, the exertion of trying to hold the form began to overwhelm her. Truesight opened her senses to his movements, thoughts, and intents - unsurprisingly, he seemed just as nervous as herself. She could feel him... and she could feel him feeling her. The loop was uncanny, and for a moment almost sent her crumpling to the ground.

"Truesight," Feisyyd said, bringing herself to the sensation with ease, "is the final evolution of all Perception through the Force. If you face an opponent who wields it, your Perceptions will muddle into a constant, turbulent flow of sense and reaction. Between users of equal Attunement, they will effectively cancel out - but an instance like this is incredibly rare. In reality, one user will almost always be more proficient than the other, and by incorporating it into their forms will determine the outcome of a duel before it even begins."

(it's basically atium)

It almost hurt now, just keeping her eyes and ears open. Nayla stumbled backwards in a weak attempt to avoid Rukk's attack, barely raising her saber to deflect his. Nausea threatened at the pit of her throat.

Rukk felt the nausea too. He felt Nayla feeling it. It was strange, and because of it his swing fell short. He barely kept his arm up. He gritted his teeth, trying to push through the nausea. Sweat trickled down his face. He breathed in deeply, and began to slide things out of his mind. He ignored the things that weren't important. "It's really just... based on your ability to ignore other distractions."
