For the past few months Garok had been studying the ways and history of the Kumori. He wished to become one of them, and he would begin his search here. He had been a student at the Jedi Temple long ago, until he had eventually left, deciding the Jedi were not for him. Since then he had forgotten the ways of the Force. But these Kumori interested him greatly, and he wished to reconnect to the force with their techniques. He planned on scavenging the nearby villages for anything that would lead him to a potential teacher. His ship touched down, and he began moving in the direction of an abandoned village he had glimpsed on arrival. He wasn't sure what exactly he was looking for - he just wished to find a master to teach him how to become Kumori.

He entered the ruins of the village, scanning around for anything that would help him. He entered a large house with the roof half caved in, and began looting all the books and manuscripts. History, Lore, History, Laws, History, Lore, he thought as he scanned the books, finding nothing he didn't already know. He left that house and went inside a nearby crumbled temple, which he began searching. Finding nothing, he sat down on the ground in front of the temple, pondering where to look next. I don't know why came here, I don't even know what could be of use to me at all on this planet. Irritated, he continued to sit and stare off into the woods beyond the village.

Haolence calmly walks through the forest, not really paying attention to his surroundings. He thought of his family, and his only friend in master, now long gone, but not dead. He quickly snapped back to his surroundings, to find himself in an old burned out village. He quickly searched for life forms in the force, but found nothing out of interest, other than a lone man, sitting in a house. Haolence, not wanting to disturb the man, yet wanting a break, calmly walked back to the forest line, sat down, and waited for something to happen.

Garok stood up. He had heard a few footsteps somewhere nearby, and, hand on his Vibrosword hilt, he began walking toward them. However, when he saw it was a robed man, he was both alarmed and interested. Alarmed, because if he was skilled in the force he could easily kill Garok. Interested, because if he was willing he would be able to teach Garok the ways of the Force. Deciding this might be his only chance, Garok recklessly said, "Hello there. I was just exploring and I heard you here... I have a question. Would you be able to direct me to anyone who could train me in the ways of the Kumori?" He hoped the man would teach him, or lead him to someone who would. If not, he very much hoped he would not prove hostile.

Haolence blinked a few times, as he listened to the mans request. He thought it over for a few seconds, Before saying calmly,You had control over the force at one time, am i right?

Taken aback that this man could either guess or sense it, he responded, "Yes... yes, although many years ago."

Haolence shrugged at the man, and said, Then what other training is there? if you were not yet a jedi, or force user, then you would need training in force, and concentration, but with you being a force user in the past, learn to harness the force, keep your skills sharp, and work on the mindset of a kumori. Don't be as murderous as a sith, yet stay from pacifisism. He quickly thought of a saying tought to him by his master, and said, Through the light and the darkness, there is balance; Without hate and without love, there is free will; Vengeance and justice shroud my true purpose; My thoughts and my actions act as one; I am one with the force, neither above nor below it; True power lies in knowing my enemy better than they know themselves; I am everywhere, and I am nowhere; The shadows call to me

OOC: I think I have to be trained by someone... well, I guess I am kind of being trained (Advice)
IC:
"I shall consider your advice. Thank you for your time." He said as he began to head back to the crumbled temple. I haven't connected with the force in ten years, he thought. Well, he might as well give it a try. He sat down in the temple, closed his eyes, and began meditating.

Darkness surrounded Zilfer as he wandered the surface of Chinine once more. The Kuragari were becoming ever restless, and the beasts of the void seemed to stalk Zilfer almost were ever he went however he had senced two new beings in the area. It seemed Chinine was a place of interest once more.
Standing in the dark scortched scene with a dark sun high in the sky he exited the void as he senced the pressence before him low to the ground. As he exited the mask of Revan that he wore upon his face instantly began to scan the lifeform in front of him.
"Though meditation is a good way to see within one's self, you may want to work on your awareness." said Zilfer knowing that he had probably startled the man by just suddenly appearing before him with no sound or words. Many did not believe their eyes when it came to Shadow Arts. "It's been awhile since I've had visitors, may I ask why you are here?"

Haolence, who had put his head down, quickly opened his eyes as he sensed a surge in the force, somewhere nearby, and he stood, looking around. He saw nothing out of the ordinary, but knew that the force does not lie about this stuff. He uses shadow arts, to get up onto a nearby tree, overlooking the destroyed village, and started looking for the sorce of the power.

Garok stumbled back, hand on his Blade. What the-!, he thought. Then, deciding it would be bad to keep this man waiting, said, "Um... I am Garok Raan... and I am here to learn about the force." He stood there, and hoped even more that this man was not hostile.

"Your looking to learn the force huh? Can't say I get to many visitors coming to connect with the force. Mostly graverobbers in fact." said Zilfer his gaze shifting to the tree's as his mask instantly picked up Haolence. "I assume he's your friend? Well reguardless, this is the old home of the Kumori, and I am it's guardian, as well as the last true living Kumori."

"My friend? Not exactly... more of an acquaintance." He said as he glanced in the direction that Zilfer now looked. "I can assure you, I am no grave robber."

"That may be so, but you can hardly trust what you see." said Zilfer who seemingly faded into shadow only to reappear a few steps back from were he originally was. "If your looking for trainning, the jedi would most likely be able to help you connect to the force. The way of the Kumori is not for those feint of heart."
A woman dressed in blue tunic, with a red sash wrapped around her waist. Silver gauntlets extened up to her elbow and two beautiful white wings folded behind her as she landed upon the ground near Zilfer. She brushed her long blond hair out of her eyes as he looked to Zilfer.
"Do you always have to wear that mask?" she asked him curiously before looking at the newcomer. "We haven't had a visitor in awhile, I hope your being nice to this one."
Zilfer glanced at Yuki for a moment, but no expression could be read by the mask upon Zilfer's face as he turned back to the man, and spoke loud enough for both the man in the tree and the man before him to be able to hear. "You are welcome to stay the night, but if you have no further bussiness here, I'd prefer it if you leave."
"That's his way of saying your welcome to say for dinner." said Yuki smiling softly before politely offering a hand to shake. "My name is Yuki Uramachi, and my dramtic friend here is Zilfer Of Shadows."

Garok exteneded his hand, saying, "Hello, my name is Garok Raan." He was disapointed, but not suprised, that he was refered to the Jedi. I'll keep looking, he thought. I won't go back to the Jedi, I have already given that up. "And if it's alright I think I will stay the night."
