Nanashi smirked glumly being mistaken for Zilfer. That was a name he hadn't heard in a lone time as well, of course no one knew Zilfer by that name anymore.
"I'm afraid you must be mistaking him for someone else. This prospective student before you is named Revan." said Anjuu, which snapped Nanashi's attention to the old man. Revan.... that was the name of Zilfer's brother. Did Anjuu know the irony of calling him that? A clone of a clone named the original? He did not say anything however, to say that his name was not Revan however, these people seemed to know Lord Nanashi's real name and it probably wouldn't help being called the same name as him. "So what brings you here Oron?" asked Anjuu.

"Well then, I am sorry for the mistake, Revan." Revan? Are you kidding me? thought Oron. He was sure that that was Zilfer of Shadows. Eh, things could be deceiving, the Galaxy is a big place. Oron shook off the thoughts then went back to reality to answer Anjuu's question. "Myself and this young lad, Tycen, have wished to learn the ways of the Kumori. I know I have been here a while back, but I feel this could be a good way to get my memory back on some things." Oron had noticed Ash approached and nodded, sensing the Force flow through Ash. Heh, someone must've taught him.

Tycen stepped forward Once Oron addressed him, And now that he was closer to them he took another scan of the two men, Then noticed Oron's attention being drawn away and looked over to see another person standing there Seemed to be a male his height was a bet harder to tell but he looked to be about the same has Tycen, He turned to face the first two men, "Tycen Malone, Nice to meet you." He said in a bland tone, turning again to face the new person wondering what he was doing here.

Revan? it could be a Ruse, but I wont say anything about it.
Ash glanced at Oron, and nodded back to the smaller man. He could see into Ash's new figure, or maybe he was just sensing Ash through the force, but whatever it was, Oron knew who Ash was. Ash walked fully out into the clearing, and sat on a fallen tree.
His body was mostly healed now, but his energy was still lower than it should be. He sighed as people finished introducing themselves. He looked at Tycen, who had his eyes on Ash, and the titanic man looked back at him, gray eyes hard. They were much colder than the last time he seen Oron.
Ash looked back at him, wondering if he had changed at all, much like how Ash has. That didn't count the force. Ash wasn't the same, easy going person he was the last time they worked together. Ash hid himself in the force, disappearing into the water-like force Ash knew of. He effectively became a small blip in the force, and this let him hide his inner changes from Oron. He didn't want his comrade to feel Ash. [/sub] |

"To relearn the ways of the Kumori?" asked Anjuu curiously as he turned from Nanashi and gazed down at the two men party down at the bottom of the rocks. "By your rank I would wager you are now serving in the republic, glum times. I've felt dark chills even here as deafened as the force is."
Nanashi, or rather, Revan knew of what Anjuu spoke. He, Lord Nanashi had been sent on most of the missions to eliminate the jedi, but that was what he was made for wasn't it? An instrament made for killing, Lord Nanashi had seen to it that he personally trained him in the use of the force for deadly means.
"I hope you haven't gotten yourself into anything you can't handle." said Anjuu before turning back to Revan. "Well seems you'll have a few peers to contend with. Come Oron and Tycen, join us, we were just beginning with the Nine Laws of Chi...."

"I too, have felt Dark Chills, but can't really determine the source." said Oron, looking at the shiny military rank on his uniform. He began wondering whether he should have changed into his Kumori Robes, but then said to himself that it shouldn't be a problem. Anjuu, nor Revan, was a threat to the Republic. As Anjuu told him and Tycen to come, Oron then turned to Ash, moving his head in a motion that Ash would know to follow them. "Nine Laws of Chi, eh? Never heard of it."

Tycen stay out of there conversion but he still stood in the same spot as before waiting for the real training to begin, He was growing tired of all this talk and he knew that at least the three men around him could feel the impatiens that he felt,That is if they could use the Force which Tycen was betting was a yes.
He went ahead of Oron and followed Revan and Anjuu eager to begin with his training, The thought that this was a glorious day to begin the ways of the force was stuck in his mind, And Tycen let out a small laugh as he began thinking of all the ways he could crush his enemy's after this.

The Republic is as corrupt as these 'Jedi' that are under it. It must be them that you feel, Oron.
Ash fallowed, taking up the rear of the pack. He didn't know why he was fallowing the group, he had other work to do, but this may give him a chance to learn something besides what a supposed 'Jedi' taught him. Ash walked up besides Oron once Tycen went on ahead.
I bet that's what your feeling; them, and their new puppets fresh from their quick training and out on the hunt.
Ash didn't want to say too much to Oron, who was still full on military. Ash was ready to leave it, but if he did, he would be hunted down by the 'Jedi,' both new and old. He would bide his time and wait before he made any rational decisions. For now, he just fallowed and waited for someone to speak and tell them what was going on besides the nine laws of chi teachings. [/sub] |

"Well then, will we start there before moving onto the actual training exercises, if any of you stay long enough perhaps you'll take the Trail of shadows like you did last time Oron." said Anjuu explaining the order in which things would go. He was still sitting down when Tycen, Ash, and Oron arrived and he motioned for them to sit.
"The Nine law of Chi, as I was explaining to Revan here earlier are the laws that govern how a Kumori should act, as well as their philospies. These were also known as the Nine laws of balance." said Anjuu to the newly formed group. "The force or Chi as the ancient Kumori called it as you may know is everywhere. There is always light and dark within the galaxy. The inescapable truth is that neither side can win. Chi is always seeking to balance itself."
Revan hadn't see too much to prove this theory right, however he couldn't nessisarily prove it wrong either. The force however would always have light and darkness he knew, for he knew both sides of the spectrum right now.
"So let us begin, I'll list them first so listen carefully." said Anjuu before going into a rather large list.
[glow=white,2,300][shadow=white,down,300]To be one is to be alone....
For every yin there is yang, in all things there is need for balance....
A warrior must train his mind before he can train his body...
Chi is my tool. It does not define me...
Falling is not failure unless we learn nothing....
Deception is a warriors greatest weapon. Conquer your opponent's mind and you'll have victory before any sword is drawn...
Only by braving inner darkness and light can one find inner peace....
Until one has balance, one has no power...
A warrior is Kumori. Like of shadows in the night cast by the full moon. Made of darkness and of light.[/shadow][/glow]
As Anjuu stopped he waited for a brief moment allowing what he had said to set in. "Ask me anything you have questions about, and I will test you after your questions on the 'Nine' laws of 'Chi' that this planet is named after."
"I have a question... Only by braving inner darkness and light can one find inner peace? What does that mean?" asked Revan almost instantly after Anjuu had finished talking. Anjuu smirked for a moment.
"This you will learn in the Trail of Shadows, but it essentialy means that you will never find peace until you have crossed both sides of the spectrum. Only by reaching the edges of your soul can you and returning on the otherside can you find inner peace. It is said this person will be Tenkai, and bring balance to the force." said Anjuu as he waited for more questions about the Laws.

Oron ignored Ash as the group continued walking and finally stopped. Oron sat down and got into a meditative position, closing his eyes as the Nine Laws of Chi flowed throughout his body. He did have a question, however. "How must one find balance, by eliminating the Dark and the Light?"

Tycen sat down on one of the rocks and listened to what Anjuu had to say about the nine laws of which Tycen was interested in a few like, the one about braving inner darkness and light which Revan asked about, Then there was balance which Oron was asking about now it seemed, The last one that Tycen was most interested in was
"To be one is to be alone" it made basic sense to him but it also seemed to have a deeper meaning behind it
Tycen hated to interrupted before Anjuu could answer it wasn't the way he was raised but he wanted to know so badly that he Ignored his up bringing and did so anyway, "And what exactly does it mean 'To be one is to be alone' it seems there is something else? He looked at Anjuu after he ask waiting for an answer to both of the questions and maybe another if the large guy who Tycen thought was about as tell as him but it turned out he misjudged his size and he was a foot taller at least.

Ash leaned against a tree once everyone came to a stop, and crossed his arms across his chest. His white breast place felt cool against his naked arms. He listened as Revan, Oron, and Tycen speak their questions, all while compiling some of his own. He waited for everyone to finish talking, including Anjuu answering them, before he spoke.
There is both good and evil in the galaxy, and right now, I feel more darkness than light. How would that be balanced, or is the only way would be to eliminate those who give out that unnatural darkness? [/sub] |

Anjuu now had a few questions to answer now and he took each one in order from Oron to that of Ash. The first one was how must one bring balance, and asked if you had to kill light and darkness.
"You cannot battle the darkness within your heart, just as you cannot battle the light either. Only when these two forces are in balance and working as one, can you achieve any measure of peace.... as such is the same with the galaxy. You cannot fight the darkside users, or the lightside users for everyone you take down another shall spring up. This galaxy has always seen it's times of darkness and times of light. It is an ongoing struggle between light and darkness who never really understand each other. To answer your question directly no you do not find balance that way." said Anjuu to Oron's question as he turned then to Tycen.
"To be Kumori is to be alone. Is the more... modern version of this. It means that if you would so choose to be a Kumori then you should be alone. Many Kumori have bypassed this rule however for better or for worse. It is a law because before you can wield any amount of power you need to have control of your feelings. When you are truly alone emotions do not get in your way, Love, hope, anger, and these emotions can cloud your judgment. Such attachments can be dangerous for those in power for the likely hood of them being lead astray is high." said Anjuu to Tycen now turning his attention to Ash.
"There was once a group of Kumori who thought that was the key to bringing balance. To kill the stronger force until they were balanced. They were Samasu, and their master Anemos. Killing is one way to balance the scale but not only that, there is also turning people, as well as a Kumori joining a side to tip the scale as a few Kumori have done in the past. Carashi, and Zilfer are two figures who used to assist the galaxy against approaching darkness and often helped save it before it the scale tipped too far in one direction." Anjuu said before stopping to catch his breath for a moment and then looked at the four men before him. Each curious about the Kumori, ancient warriors of deception, and guardians of balance. He could sense the darkside in each and everyone of them..... "Do any of you have any questions?"

Oron had no more questions to Anjuu as he answered his question, saying that you cannot find balance by destroying the Dark and the Light. Oron waited to see if Tycen or Ash had any questions as Anjuu finished with their answers.

Tycen thought for a moment if there was anything else he wanted to know and the only question he really wondered about now was what the things he would be learning are, not waiting for the other man and guessing Oron didn't have anything else to say Tycen spoke.
"When does the training begin?" He sounded a bit impatient, Arms crossed his index finger tabbing against his upper arm he waited for a reply
