Deception....

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Zilfer planned to go about this a smarter way then his usual gun ho blast everything that comes his way rutine. Cloaking himself in a clone of Alex, and strapping the blade of balance to his back just like Alex had done when it still contained all it's power. He created a force clone of himself to travel along with Alex hopping that a Zilfer clone next to alex would make things more convincing. They headed down to the to the bottom of a large canyon, and as they approached Ryuu Drake, he was the first to speak. It was easier then he had thought to manipulate the air in his throat to produce a sound exactically like Alex's voice.

"You've gotten better since last time I saw you." said Alex as he watched Ryuu practice some of the Fire force form. "I wonder if you can hold a Quaser yet however... Zilfer here has saw what you did to the Jedi temple."

The Zilfer clone smirked for a moment, before commenting in Zilfer's usual voice. "The Jedi temple's finally decided to act, it's been awhile Ryuu, I've convinced your father that his pressence is nessiary in case things get out of hand with Archos and his minions." said Zilfer looking over to the wall littered with Lightsaber gems. "We may have problems then just Archos however.... someone's been teaching him higher forms of the Mitsukai arts."

Ryuu was somewhat surprised to see his father suddenly in front of him. It had been a very long time. Ryuu had tried many times to convince Alex himself to return to the Jedi but to avail.

"I take it then Jack was defeated..." Ryuu asked, "I've felt a dark presence lifted from the galaxy not too long ago... but lately the darkness has slowly been creeping back. I guess this could be Archos, as you say."

Ryuu then closed his fists, putting out the flames he had therein. As he approached them he noticed his father's thoughts were uncharacteristically clouded. It could simply be that he was on his guard but there would be little reason for that here... the only other explanation was the dark side.

"Is something wrong, father," Ryuu asked suspiciously, "You seem a bit uneasy..."

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

"Jack was defeated by his own undoing. What he left in his wake is what you must have felt." said Alex as he looked at Ryuu's conserned face. He gave a very slight grin as he saw this. "If I seem Uneasy is because the blade's power is gone... it is locked away within the void."

"He means to say that whatever the hell he sealed in the void could come looking for the blade again. Power like that just doesn't disappear. You should of all people should know this Ryuu." Said Zilfer as went over to the wall of lightsaber crystals and then looked back at Ryuu and Alex. "Not to ruin this father son moment, but we have more pressing bussiness at hand, you and your son can catch up later Alex."

Zilfer disappeared into the shadows as he headed back up to the ship. Alex just shook his head for the moment as he gazed at the spot Zilfer had been. "He still hasn't learned paitence..." said Alex.

Ryuu considered all this for a moment and finally let his own guard down, starting towards the ship that Zilfer had arrived in.

"If the blade's power is gone I guess I can understand why you finally decided to come back to civilization," Ryuu said, "So where is it we will be going? Zilfer said something about more pressing business?"

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

"You might remember Archos attacking the Jedi temple.... well he's rethought his stratigy and instead of relying upon his own skills he's decided to teach the Mitsukai Arts of Wind freely." said Alex as they headed into the ship and prepared for launch. "I was about to leave without you." commented Zilfer as he pulled up a map of the galaxy. "Sith.... They always pick the same location.... Korriban."
