Steve stepped away from the ship and began to walk towards what used to be the center of the village. He could hear the screams of hundreds of villagers whos souls were being tormented by something.
Steve could hear footsteps behind him but ignored them and could see a ruined temple in the distance and began to walk towards.

Karite's ship landed upon Chinine. He hadn't expected Chinine to be so much like his homeworld. However the plants were of the sorts he couldn't recognize and many strange creature's scurried away at his coming. Karite could only wonder how one man would choise to live in a place of absolute solitude. Cut off from most of the world, and not in the company of others. It had been a month or so since Zilfer had been on Chinine, and Karite wondered if that one month time what Zilfer had done on Chinine.
Luster had told him to seek out a village named Kankage. His dirrections had been quite interesting as he headed towards the village he arrived at what looked like a massive battle field were rubble was everywere, and the signs that it had been a village were lacking. He heard movement in a dirrection heading towards the middle of the village were he saw the largest amount of rubble from what appeared to have been a temple, or shrine of somesort. He headed in that dirrection, to see that the shrine was completely torn assunder. It was laided out in pieces in a circular patern, with pieces of an ancient form of writing on the wall.
Karite looked at one of them close to him and ran his hands along the painting. It showed Mitsukai falling from the sky, and it sent a shiver down Karite's spine, something about it reminded him about the curse of Intangibles, Luster had once told him about. He would never want to be an intangible as long as he remained living.

Steve continued over to the Temple but as he got closer and closer he could see a person or what he was a person like a 20 year boy. Steve began to come closer and closer to the ruined temple he could see that this figure was not just his mind playing tricks on him there actually was a person there. Steve walked into the ruined and leaned against a piece of the temple.
Steve: Who are you and what brings you to this place

Karite was a bit startled by the voice behind him, and he half reached for his concealed lightsaber but senced no malice from this man so he decided against it.
"My name is Karite, You wouldn't happen to be Zilfer would you....? no.... you can't be. You don't match his description." said Kartie almost thinking out loud to himself for the moment. "So I ask you the same. Who are you and why are YOU here? I heard only Zilfer Of Shadows lives here in solitude, but i've seen nada but you."

Steve also reached for his lightsaber but stopped when he saw that he was just examining the temple. Something about this boy felt different like he was older much older than he looked. Steve began to walk towards the boy.
Steve: I'm Steve "The Immortal" Quiksilver and the ship I took from my homeworld of Rishi had a malfunction and I was forced to land here but this place feels familar to me somehow but I am not sure. What are you looking at over there.
Soon Steve was standing next to Karite looking at the wall but he didnt understand what he was looking at

"I'm glad your both rather fond of the anceint Kumori paintings, but if your grave robbers here, then you'd best leave while you still have the chance." said a voice that seemed to come from all dirrections. Dark figure's popped up in a grand number of 50 seemingly wraiths.
Karite looked out at them seeing that they both were now surrounded, my a mysterious force of people. Surely they couldn't have missed this many people, however Luster had told him Kumori arts were meant to deceive your eyes. Could this entity be Zilfer?
"We are not grave robbers, I wouldn't steal this painting about the legend of intangibles even if it were worth all the credits in the galaxy. I am here seeking the one called Zilfer Of Shadows. Do you know him?" asked Karite.
"Know him? Oh yes.... I know this Zilfer of which you speak, but what is your friends bussiness for being here as well?" asked the voice.

Steve was surprised that many enemies could sneak up on him without any warning, he reached for his lightsaber but didnt do anything that would start a battle.
Steve: Me?? I am looking for someone who can teach me of the Force and to find out why this place feels so familiar to me. My ship was forced to land here so now I am just trying to learn about my new surroundings thats all. Tell me how were you able to sneak up on me without any warning.
Steve looked around at the wraiths who seemed to be surrounding them but not making any sudden moves themselves.
Steve:What is the Legend of the Intangibles??

"The answer to your first question is simple. How does a shadow sneak up upon it's owner? Silently." said the Voice to Steve now taking his attention off that of Karite. "The answer to your second question is an age long myth, or legend. History if you ask some. There once was a race that was called Mitsukai.--"
"There still is." interupted Karite confidently since he came from the planet that still held the very last of them.
"Yes.... anyways the Mitsukai were put here by the gods Akari, and Moujuu to watch over the other races of the world. They grew too prideful however and wanted the power of god like proportions. They wanted the power to rule over all other races, and it was thus the gods granted them this power, but with this power also came with it a Price. A curse, to be known as intangible. These beings had the urge for power like you could not imagine. Their insatuable lust for power drove many of them into the Void, and many to seek to kill themselves. Their blessing came with immortality making impossible for them to take their lives. So they were cursed to wander the galaxy..... lost.... unfeeling.... and immortal."
All the wraiths slowly came into one another until at least only one remained and formed in the shape of a robed man with a black mask resembling that of revan's mask. Two swords were upon his back, and a lightsaber at his side. "So you seek Zilfer Of Shadows. I am he." said the man.
"It is nice to meet you, Luster sends his greetings." said Karite, knowing that this had to be Zilfer now.

Steve watched as the wraiths became one man who was this Zilfer of Shadows. He was unknown to him but he seemed almost familiar to him in the same breath. Steve too his hand off his lightsaber and crossed his arms.
Steve: Well you are Zilfer of Shadows, I am Steve " The Immortal" Quiksilver. This place, this planet it all feels familiar to me but i am unsure of how. What happened to this place that it is a ruined village. I can feel the screams of hundred if not thousands being tormented here by some sort of being.
Steve turned his attention back to the inscription on the wall and began to study it more and more closely.

"There is much disrest here... Here is were the most amount of Kuragari wander in the void, just on the edge of your vision. The answer to your question to the spirits can probably be answered by the legend of Anemos." spoke Zilfer.
"Anemos? I've never heard anything about him." Karite said curiously wondering what the tale was about.
"The scourge of Anemos..... Anemos was a Samasu who believed in power above all else. He believed that you had to bring balance to the galaxy in order to be at peace. This was his goal, and with forbidden technices he was able to form an army of Kuragari at his command. With his army he sought to enslave the galaxy." said Zilfer explainning the legend to the two curious men.
"He must have been very powerful.... I wouldn't mind being able to amass that type of power." said Karite imaging the things he could do with such power.
"You do not want to be like him.... He is a Moujuu incarnate, a tyrant, and evil. His kuragari were once people. He stole their souls in order to make him more powerful, and with their empty bodies he commanded them to kill all who opposed him. One day a man cloaked in white appeared to face him, and it was Akari's power that defeated Anemos." said Zilfer finishing the tale. He looked to Steve. "you said you wanted to learn the ways of the force, I suggest you'd go to the jedi, they are quite adept at trainning people."
"This is also sort of why I am here. I wish to become a Kumori." said Karite. This got Zilfer's attention almost immediately shooting a glance in the dirrection of Karite. "The path of Kumori is a difficult one, and not one you should take lightly."

Steve didn't turn as Zilfer told the tale he just stared at the inscription more and more closely. When he was finished and suggested that Steve go to the Jedi. He stopped staring at the wall and turned Zilfer, though his expression had changed. His face was blank like he was in a trace and his body was changing as well, his muscles were getting bigger and more defined. He reached for his lightsaber and ignited it but stood there motionless the glow of his saber illuminated his face.
Steve: Zilfer Of Shadows what do you know of the Intangibles known as Jack of Blades and Luster?? I would wager a good deal of credits about the one called Luster but Jack you know almost nothing??
Steve then turned to Karite
Steve:He does have one thing correct The way of the Kumori should not be taken lightly especially for a Mitsukai it can corrupt one such as you very easily.
Steve's eyes then closed and he dropped to the ground but quickly got back to his feet and looked around to try and figure out what had made him fall to the ground.

"Luster is well known to me, for he is still alive. As for a Jack of Blades, this name is vaguely familiar to me. I remember reading it somewere, but before I answer any more of your questions I must ask were did you get the name "The immortal" from?" asked Zilfer watching the odd behavior of Steve.
Karite looked at steve. "And who says i'm a Mitsukai?" asked Karite who had his wings securely hidden within his own robes. His white hair, and white Iris cooly gazed at Steve. "is there something wrong?" asked Karite as Steve fell to the ground.

Steve continued to look around confused at why he fell to the ground but soon stopped when Zilfer asked him where he got his nickname from
Steve:It was given to me by the village I saved from bandits on my homeworld of Rishi. I stopped countless wave after wave of bandits without a mark on me. They also saw it fit to reward me with this lightsaber too.
Steve shot the blade out, it white blade glowed against his body, then he turned off the saber and clipped it to his belt. Then turned to Karite
Steve:What do you mean Mitsukai. I never said you were?? What is going on and whats with all the questions, I'm just as confused as you two are one minute I'm looking at the inscritions on the wall and the next I'm on the ground and you two are asking me about things that I never said and about a nickname i got back home??
Steve began to slowly back away from both Zilfer and Karite

OOC i'll ignore the fact that he asked before you fell to the ground, and thus Karite was talking to the second entity, but anyways.
"You said 'He does have one thing correct The way of the Kumori should not be taken lightly especially for a Mitsukai it can corrupt one such as you very easily.' and then fell to the ground." said Karite mimicing what Steve had said. "You seemed to be possessed there for a moment."
Zilfer made no moments, and did not comment at the moment, he just kept his gaze fixed upon steve. Zilfer had noticed the distinct features that had changed, and then turned to Karite trying to quickly change the subject and draw off attention from it.
"I will train you as a Kumori if you wish, but I warn you, it's not for the faint of heart." said Zilfer. Karite turned to Zilfer bowing deeply for a moment. "I thank you Zilfer Of Shadows."

OOC: Steve doesn't know that the "Second" entity is even there and when he is present Steve doesn't remember anything that happens while the "Second" is controlling him.
Steve:Possessed you say, I know you may not know me but you do have an understanding of the Force and can feel when one person is trying to act like someone they are not. Before when you first saw me did you feel any anger or aggression from me towards you. Also I have to ask what did you feel when I told you about the path of the Kumori and being a Mitsukai and it corrupting you, and I ask this of both of you because I really have no memory of asking any questions or telling either of you anything.
Steve also noticed that Zifer had tried to change the subject or at least draw Karite's attention away from Steve's statement and stopped moving backwards and leaned against the side of the ruined temple. Steve also thought about training with the Jedi but thought that the ways of the Jedi were not for him.
Steve: I thank you for your council on who could teach me in the ways of the Force but as much as I do respect the Jedi and what they do I don't think they would be able to teach me in everything the Force has to offer. I need a teacher who can teach me both the Light side and Dark sides of the Force but not become one or the other.
