A tower blanketed in snow and barely visible through the dense fog, "We're here..." A TOWER. I KNEW YOU HAD AN EVIL TOWER OF EVILNESS. Not to interupt again but Mik.... That is a tower full of the Jedi souls..... of the Luminos if you remember them. Usually Constance, Terentius, and Eva hang here. XD OOC

After the long hike up the mountain and through the dense fog and cold they came upon this so called shrine. Vherox looked at it then to Hatori. "So who's all here if you don't mind me asking?" He was a bit anxious to train, and better himself. He wanted to become a strong warrior in the way of the force and with a lightsaber. He longed for it.
He looked back to the tower in front of them and simply examined it for a moment. The place seemed desolate at first to him.

"Who indeed..." Hatori responded in a typically cryptic way, "This is a shrine to the dead... as such it is a beacon to those who have become one with the force. The force is very strong in this place... though when it comes to the living right now we are the only ones here." Hatori pressed forward to the front of the shrine whose doors had been left open. The blowing snow poured inside over the years and every surface within the tower seemed to be coated with snow and ice. A stone stood at the center of the tower's bottom floor, Hatori stepped up to it and brushed the snow away from its surface. There was something engraved into the stone... "The sun rises and falls, the moon waxes and wanes, and every child who is born shall eventually die; but the Luminos are eternal. Through the force, all who walk the path of the light shall withstand the test of time." ~Lucias
Master Terentius - Master Eva - Master Constans

Vherox was fascinated with what Hatori told him. A shrine to dead force users. He followed him inside of the tower and examined the place with curiosity. Hatori wasn't lying. He could feel the force everywhere in here, and of great magnitude.
He then turned his attention to Hatori as he brushed off the stone. He watched as he read what was engraved on it. He stepped a bit closer to take a look for himself. He wondered exactly who the three were.
"So what is the plan Master Hatori?" He felt that is was appropriate now for him to refer to Hatori as his master. At least for now. If he was wrong in doing so he knew he would be corrected. That wasn't much of a concern to him right now though. He had thought there may be others here on their side, and he felt that may be helpful with that woman out there who attacked earlier. He figured Master Hatori knew what he was doing though.

(OOC: Try to add a bit more detail to your posts as we continue here, Dalazer.)
As Hatori read the engraving on the stone he wondered himself who these three were... most likely the ancient Jedi Masters that Cain had told him would be buried here, but an uneasy feeling had come over Hatori. Did the spirits of these Jedi still reside within this tower? It was then that Kevin entered the tower as well, he was seeking training also.
"I suppose we'll have one more then. You both may refer to me as 'Lord Akunin' or simply as Master. The plan now is that we begin our training," Hatori said, taking a seat in front of the stone and encouraging Kevin and Vherox to do the same, "I will start with a proverb taught to me by my master... Lord Cain. The force is a tool, and you must come to think of it as such. Consider for a moment that the force were a blade. The Jedi who preach self control and limitations, they would choose not to wield this blade at all. Instead it remains in its sheathe, robbed of its true purpose. The Sith have learned to free themselves from limitations and remove the blade from its sheathe... but still they fight with a dull blade. A weapon weakened over generations due to time and misuse..."
Hatori slowly closed his eyes before continuing, "But Lord Cain has shown us a new path, one where our own weaknesses are dissolved and the limits placed on the force by the Jedi and the Sith are broken. Here we will forge our own blade... an instrument of sheer power... as it was meant to be. Tell me... have either of you ever heard of a group of force users called the 'Mitsukai'?"

Nero landed his ship near the bottom of a mountain past, once the ship landed Nero stepped outside and looked around as he took a deep breath and said "its been a long time since i have come back to this rock" he closed his eyes for a moment and stood there as a large amount of sand came from inside his ship and wrapped its self around him.
once Nero had done this he noticed something different a presence he had not felt for some time, with a small chuckle under his breath Nero looked upward toward the mountains summit and said " well well looks like i should give someone a little visit shouldn't I" after he said this he lept into the air and spread his wings wide and began to fly upward toward the location of the familiar presence.

Vherox noticed the newcomer and was unsure of him at first. He found it wierd how he happened to just show up out of nowhere requesting training at a place like this. He decided to disregard it however as Master Hatori accepted him in. He turned back to look at the stone now.
He listened as Hatori told him what they may refer to him as. He was pleased to hear to that calling him master was acceptable, but he was curious to hear the other reference Lord Akunin. As he told them they were about to begin their training Vherox nodded and obediently sat down in a quick manner as he was motioned to do, "Yes Master." He listened closely to everything that Hatori said, and he was quite interested in it. He had never heard of the force explained as such, but it made sense.
He continued to listen and his curiosity only grew as heard the name Lord Cain again. He wondered what this guy was like. If Lord Cain was Master Hatori's master, then Vherox only imagined what he must be like, and what sort of power he must possess. As Hatori mentioned a group called the 'Matsukai' he furrowed his brows a bit. "I've heard of the name Master Hatori, but I can't say that I know too much."

(OOC: Ok. but it's little hard, because i live in finland and i'm not good at english)
Kevin was confused. "I have heard of them... But i'm not sure is it true what i heard." Kevin said and thought of little while.
Kevin looked at Hatori. "Mitsukais are humans who have a wings. Right?"

"You are correct, Kevin," Hatori answered, his eyes still closed as he sat, legs crossed, hands folded together, "the word 'Mitsukai' even literally means 'Angel'. They were a tribe of force users who believed their powers to be that of god himself. We now know that their abilities actually stemmed from a high rate of force sensitivity. The Mitsukai were all but wiped out over one million years ago when it is said a black hole opened up in the space over their home planet, Tishi."
Hatori's eyes then slowly opened, focusing on his two new apprentices, "But this was no ordinary black hole. It was a rift in space that was deliberately torn open... torn open using the force by a man named Jack Makura. Makura's knowledge of the force and near limitless power was and still is without equal. It was Jack who trained my master and gave him the name 'Cain'... and it is his teachings which I am going to be passing to you now."
Going silent, Hatori's eyes closed again and clasped his hands back together, he seemed to concentrate hard when suddenly from the shadows beside him another figure began to materialize. After taking shape it was a second Hatori, sitting in the same exact position as he was, "The 'Shadow Arts' are a martial art that uses the dark side of the force and the power of illusion. If you retain nothing else throughout your training here, remember this: the Shadow Arts are about deception. With every technique you learn you must keep this in the back of your mind."
Hatori's double then stood up, folding its arms across its chest before seeming to speak itself, "The first technique you will learn is an illusionary technique called 'Shadow Clone'. A shadow clone is an illusion. Knowing this is the key to both using and defending against a shadow clone in battle. The force is used to affect an opponents mind. Using the force to alter will power as you would in a normal hand waving mind trick requires a great deal of control and for a foe with a particularly weak mind. But shadow clone is only aimed at optical sensory perception... or the sense of sight. Therefore it can be used effectively on much wider verity of foes."
Hatori's clone stepped forward, his footsteps falling heavily and crunching against the snow as he walked around where Vherox and Kevin were sitting, "What completes the illusion is exact application of telekinetic power. Using the same sort of telekinesis you would to push or pull you can make your illusion seem very real. But enough explaining, at this point I think it would be more useful to just show you. I want both of you to try and attack my clone..."

Kevin got up. He looked at Hatori's clone and took his lightsaber. he put his lightsaber on and started to run at the clone. When he was near of the clone he jumped and slashed with his lightsaber the clone.

once Nero had reached the summit of the mountain he swooped down ward and landed right outside of a large tower like structure, after landing Nero headed inside the tower to see Hatori and two others he didn't know, as Hatori spoke of the shadow clones and Kevin ran in to attack one Nero walked toward the group and looked at Hatori and gave a slight bow before fading into the background until he could get a moment to speak with Hatori.

Vherox listened carefully to what Master Hatori had to say. He was fascinated how one man could have so much power. Enough to wipe out an entire planet. It was incredible, he hadn't learned anywhere else that the force was capable of such a feat. A thought then came to his mind. Had either Lord Makura or Lord Cain lived for over a million years. That was another thing that fascinated him.
He then watched as Master Hatori created the 'shadow clone' and began explaining how it works. Optical sensory perception. It made sense to him. The Jedi mind trick required one to make another truly believe what you are saying as if it was originally what they were thinking, whereas with this technique you only have to make them see the image of yourself. Thinking about it, Vherox found that this technique could be easier and more useful than the Jedi mind trick. He could always be wrong though.
When told to attack the clone he got to his feet, but he noticed Kevin had rushed in first. Vherox had the assumption that the clone was intangible, therefore meaning you couldn't truly strike it, and it couldn't strike you. Meant to be more of a diversion. After all, Master Hatori made it a point that this technique uses deception. Since Kevin had already made his move, Vherox decided it would be best not to get in the way of his attack, and just watch the reaction.
Since he was not attacking he figured he may as well try something else to see its effect. He closed his eyes knowing that the technique worked against his eyesight. He then began to feel through the force to see if he could sense one Hatori, or two seperate Hatoris.

As Kevin charged in at the shadow clone, it stood still, its arms folded across its chest. The slash of Kevin's lightsaber passed right through the clone which then quickly turned around and delivered a spinning kick that would strike Kevin in the side of the head and knock him aside.
"Illusions made real through exact applications of telekinetic power," The clone seemed to say, folding its arms once more, "the blow just inflicted with that kick was nothing more complicated then a force push delivered to the side of the head. Combining the optical illusion with the telekinetic power is what makes the shadow clone the ultimate tool of deception. Often times you will be able to have your opponent literally chasing his own shadow."
The clone then turned to Nero and Vherox who had only been observing, "Vherox... and Nero, good to see you again my old apprentice. Perhaps its time you two try this technique for yourselves... I want you to make your own shadow clones and use them to try and attack me."
