I wonder what kind of trick question this is, he thought. Zilfer had already demonstrated he could make anything he wanted with the tree. Garok was sure Zilfer could do much more, he just wasn't sure how much. He knew that with the force he could lift it and shape it into many things. With the tree... hmm. "You cannot can not make a working star ship with the tree." He knew it was an obvious answer, but this was an odd question.

"Heh, an interesting answer. Your right, I could not make a working Star ship with it. Or at least not in the way of a hyperdrive." said Zilfer as he noticed this technice was not going to work on the student like this. "Let my try this question again, but with something different. What is something I could not do to you?"

Wonder what he's going at with this stuff... Garok thought. "You can not force me to believe a certain thing or to think a certain thought." He was semi-satisfied with his answer this time, and he looked at Zilfer and wondered again what this was going to teach him...

"An interesting answer as well. Do you believe this is a fruit?" asked Zilfer holding it out for Garok after picking it up from the table. He would show Garok the essence of Shadow arts now, that he has asked something that Zilfer could indeed do.

"Ah..." He said, chuckling. "Didn't think of that..." He looked at the fruit, then at Zilfer, and reached out and took the fruit from Zilfer's hand, very curious at what this man who say next.

As Garok took it, Zilfer let him hold it for a moment, before it seemed to transform into a deadly Viper that rose it's head.
"Or is it a snake?" asked Zilfer, as the snake which was wrapped around Garok's arm to keep it from falling, suddenly snapped out at Garok.

Garok barely had time to be surprised before he was forced to grab the snake's head and unwind it from his arm before it either bit him or squeezed his arm. When he was safely holding it, he asked, "Wow... maybe you can explain this..." he hardly understood what had happened, but he hoped Zilfer would enlighten him.

Once Garok had gotten ahold of it's head, Zilfer willed it to take the form of a long branch.
"Clearly, I've made you question what the item you hold, and I have done so using the force. I have made you believe that it was a snake, twig, and a fruit. My point is this, with the force you can do almost unlimited things." said Zilfer as he put his hand out to summon the item in the shape of a stick with the force. "You can levitate objects. Burn them."
Zilfer as the twig approached his hand caught it on fire, and then suddenly it froze over like it had been in winter for many months as frost fromed over it turnning it to solid ice and then shattering into many small pieces. Zilfer and the fruit disappeared.
"You can even freeze with the force. Now that you know what the force can do, I guess it's time for me to teach you how to connect with the force. In time you will learn to do what i have done." said Zilfer walking off and motioning Garok to follow him to the ruins of the old Kumori Tower which was all rubble. "The essence of a Kumori warrior is confusion. You defeat your opponent before they even know they are defeated. Tell me have you ever had an occation where you have reacted to something so fast that your brain barely had any time to think? It gives off the illusion that you can see the future, and is a sign of force sensitivity."

Garok admired the things Zilfer could do with the force, and followed him to the tower once Zilfer headed that way. "I have actually had that happen several times... like when you appeared when I first saw you. My hand almost pulled my blade out before I even knew you were there and could stop it," he said. He knew he had to be somewhat force-sensitive, as he had been at the Jedi Temple a long time ago. Since then, however, he had forgotten practically everything about the force. He was enthusiastic since he was getting somewhere to becoming Kumori, but also somewhat anxious of what lay ahead.

"Then you indeed can pick up on the stirrings of the force." said Zilfer walking down to the middle of the rubble and then sat down with his legs crossed on top of one another. The reverse of indian style were the legs crossed to the bottom of the legs. "Sit with me, i'm going to try and help you find the force. I was taught the force this way once, and you couldn't be on a better planet to try and learn to feel the force."

Garok followed him over the rubble and mirrored the way Zilfer sat. He knew Zilfer was right; there was almost no other planet better to learn the force one than Chinine, which he had learned was strong in the force.

"Close your eyes and listen to my voice." instructed Zilfer as he watched Garok. "This planet is alive with life. All around you, the tree's, animals, and even the air is alive with the force. I want you to try and clear your mind, and slowly spread out your awareness form yourself."
Zilfer waited a good while for Garok to try this, and then soon he spoke again. "The force flows through all living things. Me, you, Yuki the girl you met earlier, and all life upon this planet. Try and reach out and HEAR the life of the world. You'll know when you hear it."

Garok did as he was instructed. Reach out... he thought. He closed his eyes, relaxed, and concentrated. At first he could tell nothing was different, but then it was there... a small whisper in his mind. It grew faintly louder as he began to concentrate on that alone. He began to become aware that Zilfer was their, that the nearby trees were there - without seeing them. He pursued this thought, and slowly began to hear more... he could hear the 'sound' of the grass, the trees, everything around him. "I... can hear a faint sound from the surroundings..." he said as he continued trying to reach out.

"Good now try and hear the small animal scurying away from a pile of nuts behind you, and the bird preched in a tree in front of you. Feel the stirings of the planet." said Zilfer contiuning his own meditation, as his sences became aware of everything going on around him. He always found it quite relaxing to meditate every day.

Garok also felt relaxed as he began to concentrate more. He could begin to feel them... he again concentrated more, pursued that thought in his mind, and then he could 'hear' both of the creatures. "I can... hear them as well," he said. He then tried to reach out more, and feel even farther away.
