Ash was already enshrouded in shadow, with only spots of his body touching the light. He watched as Oron walked into a shadowy area, and sunk into what Anjuu called The Void. He reappeared soon after exactly where he left. Ash stood unmoving as he listened to Anjuu at how to enter The Void.
Ash did exactly as he was told, and closed his eyes, and did what he was never really prepared for, and reached out to the darkness. It was always harder to cut himself off from the darkness every time he reached for it. After a moment, he felt himself being pulled away from Chinine.
When he opened his eyes, everything was darker, and had too much red in it. Slowly, the colors shifted around, bringing in more black and gray, all mixing with the intense red. After a moment, he heard high pitched laughter, but after looking around, he found there was nothing. Silent, shadowy figures shifted around, hidden from his view, and the same laughter rang out. It was that second time that Ash realised that it was him laughing. He felt himself feel lightheaded, and something push his mind out.
Ash's Ki blood, self named, Kale, was attempting to take over Ash's body in this dark void. Somehow, Ash was weaker here, but he didn't know how. A heartbeat later, that shadowy Kuragari rushed at Ash/Kale. Kale laughed and Ash used all his strength to pull himself out of the dimension.
Ash reappeared about seven seconds after he entered The Void, on his hands and knees, and shuttered violently. A light, high pitched laugh could be heard, just barely, from Ash's lips. Slowly, Ash stood up, and he popped his neck. Through the force, Ash felt very dark, and slightly different from when he went into The Void. He wasn't possessed by the Kuragari, but rather Kale trying to take over. Ash looked over at Oron, who knew Ash the best out of everyone, and looked at him with very alien eyes, reached out to him with a force meld, and hoped that he would enter it, and spoke soft words.
Keep silent and don't share anything. [/i] He broke the meld after that.[/center][/sub]

Tycen also did as Anjuu instructed and closed his eyes, He began to feel this darkness he spoke of it seemed to be easier then he thought it would be, Tycen began to wonder if it was natural ability or he was darker then he thought, Ether way it didn't matter to him right now he fully embraced the darkness he was sensing and fell into the shadow of the trees behind him.
In the void, everything seemed to be much plainer colors. Grays and blacks, It had an strange feeling but something he thought he could get to know, As he began to rise back out of the void a Kuragari came up to him at amazing speed and it seemed to try and climb in his mouth but before it was able to he came out and looked to be exactly the same, It felt like hours to him but it couldn't have been more then a few seconds, Tycen was coughing as if he had been drowning, He took a few moments to collect himself then stood and said, "That was intense!" his eyes seemed to have a small change, it was because this was the moment Tycen knew he wanted to know everything about these "Shadow arts"

Oron closed his eyes as he began feeling the inner darkness around him. With his eyes closed, he didn't realize that the others had disappeared and the entire scenery had changed from a woodland forest to a burning city. Fires lit the surrounding buildings and screams from dieing people echoed. Oron reached for his lightsaber and held it to the side, igniting the blade. Walking forward, he noticed a figure emerge from burning flames. Oron stopped as did the figure, the figure not even burning. He was wearing a dark trench coat and the hood concealed his face.
"Who are you?" yelled Oron.
The figure stood there, not moving an inch. Suddenly, he lifted his face and slid his hood back. Oron looked in dismay at the man's face, which was the exact same as Oron himself. "What the..." was Oron's last words as a bright light exploded from the man's body, knocking Oron out of concentration. The scene went back to normal, with the trees still swaying from left to right and the others listening to Anjuu. Oron looked at Ash and then looked back at Anjuu, waiting for the next training session. He knew what Ash wanted him to do.

Anjuu nodded as all of them had shown they were able to enter and exit the void, however he got the feeling that Oron had just had a vision of some sorts into his soul. With the moon rising high into the night sky, and that of a full moon he slowly returned his attention to his students.
"Good, now you've demonstrated knowledge of both the Body, and the Spirit. The last technice is that of the Mind. The Shadow Art..... Moonlight." said Anjuu as each of the four students where swept away by the sudden use of the move. The moonlight seemed to grow bright and envelope them all until they all stood on nothing but a white plain.
"The object of Moonlight is very simple to confuse and confound your opponent. If your strong enough you can even consume them. The simplest way to put this is that you enter your opponents mind and trap them within their own minds much as I have done with you four. Now you feel, see, smell, touch, and taste whatever I want you to. Forgive the extreme of this display but I feel it is nessisary to show you the extent to which you can take this move." said Anjuu as he faded from view. Each of the four would find themselves alone in a square room with no way out. "This will not be pleasent."
Soon each and every one of them would feel their bodies tighten up and become immoble. The place smelt of death, rotting burnt flesh was something that was unmistakeable. Swords shot out of the walls from every direction impaling them in mutliple places. The swords would even pierce through Ash's Besker chest piece making it crack as if it was nothing but clay. Hot blood dripped from their wounds as it began to boil and feel like lava as it traveled down their bodies. Next bugs began to poor out from everywhere as if emerging from the shadows of the room and began to crawl over their bodies and bite with a burning and stinging sensation. Finally they would stop being able to breath and they would feel heavy as if underwater, as they could no longer breath oxygen, they would soon feel like they were suffocating. Suddenly they would find themselves standing back on Chinine.
"You cannot kill someone with Moonlight, but some things are worse then death....." said Anjuu. Revan felt feverish as he checked his body it felt so sore he could barely stand. There were no physical wounds upon his body but he still felt them as if it had really happened.
"That was.... an illusion?" asked Revan slightly gasping for breath as if he had really been choking. Anjuu held a grim face for a moment.
"It was, but when you fool the mind the body usually continues to feel the pain. More to the point, the Mind can only tollerate so much abuse..... this technice can break your opponent, but I warn you only use it on opponents weaker then you, for if you are not strong enough your opponent can turn it back upon you and you'll be the one being played with." said Anjuu as he crossed his arms. "I don't think it would be a good idea to have you practice on eachother, you've seen what the move can do, and I've explained how to do it. I have a feeling you all will have no problem trying to pull off this move if nessisary.... note however that you can only do this in the moonlight."
"Next time give us more of a warning will ya?" asked Revan as he steadied himself trying to get over the feeling of all the torcherous things that had just happened to them all.
"Oh that is nothing..... You've still much to learn. That move is only limited by the user's imagination." said Anjuu as he waited for the other students to center themselves and ask any questions they might have about the third and final Shadow Art.

Ash stood strait and still as the moonlight engulfed him. He had to close his eyes to shield them, but opened them when they had a chance to get use to the light past his eyelids. He was surprised to see them standing in pure white. After Anjuu spoke more about this, he found himself standing in a small room.
Before he had a chance to try to break out, be found himself immobile, and he couldn't use the force or lightning. Moments later, swords shot out at him, ripping and cutting through him and his armor like nothing. He also found that he couldn't block out the pain, at least not all of it. If it wasn't for years of training and brute force, Ash would have blacked out.
Blood that seeped from his wounds started boiling like hot water and magma, and to make it worst, bugs, enough to shadow the room, seeped from nowhere and started attacking him. Then came the worst sensation: that of being unable to breath. Ash normally held his breath in a fight, but this was not a fight, at least not in his mind, and it was like being under water after expelling all he had in his lungs. After what seemed like an eternity of torture, Ash found himself, perfectly fine, back on Chinine.
He put a hand on a tree branch, and nearly crushed it, and took a deep breath. His body was aching, but slowly the pain subsided. A light started to go off on Ash's wrist comlink.
There are things much worst than death, and this move is just one more thing to add to my list. I thank you for teaching all of us this, but now, I am afraid I must make my leave. Hopefully i will be able to learn more from you at a later date.
Ash bowed, and decided to put in his new training, and disappeared into the shadows. He reappeared, five seconds later, about 100 yards away, a somewhat fast jog for him right now, called in all his forces, and left Chinine. If Oron needed to contact Ash for any reason, he can do it later on. For now, he headed back to the Jedi Temple. [/sub]

After the terrible illusion Anjuu used on Tycen instead of dying like he thought his eyes just opened, Standing right where he was when Anjuu began speaking of the move, He felt himself ensuring this wasn't hell or wherever he would go he looked up and it seemed that It wasn't hell, the moon of Chinine still high in the sky, Oron was still standing there also alive-unless they both were dead, But that couldn't be the case seeing how Anjuu-the person who used the attack-was standing right there talking about how it was a nun-lethal power.
Tycen began moving his arms around in a circle, They hurt, His whole body did. If the move is nun-lethal that doesn't mean i couldn't be hurt, Interesting. He put himself back together as it were and by the time he was ready had noticed Ash was already gone.
"Why can't this attack kill its victims?" Tycen spoke while still padding himself in a few places making sure he was hurt from the attack.

"It cannot kill you because it does not physically harm you. Look upon your body, so you see any of the fatal stab wounds from the swords the pierced your body?" said Anjuu motionning for Tycen to check. "Anything you do to them in the illusion is just that.... an illusion. While they may 'feel' it when they come out of the illusion it's only because they thought it was real. You can murder them a thousand times with moonlight and they will never truely die, or come to harm. Needless to say they probably wont feel good after they get out of moonlight. This move is to wear your opponent down mentaly, or if you have companions you can trap the person in their minds and your companion can finish off the unmoving body of your opponent. Remember however that your body won't be able to move either however... for you are focusing inside their mind."

Tycen nodded his head and did as Anjuu instructed, He was fine, No cuts no burns, Nothing. Tycen continued to listen has Anjuu spoke, He was amazed at how much Anjuu knew of the force, But as Tycen kept training he got the feeling he needed to be somewhere else, And has hard as Tycen tried to ignore it he couldn't.
Tycen stood from the meditative position he was in"I most take my leave now, However i do plan on returning." Tycen's attitude wasn't in the usual better then you tone he had to his voice instead showing respect for Anjuu, And Oron, He bowed before running into the night and was out of sight.
Once Tycen made it to a large enough clearing he sent out a unique signal from his comm-link and after what felt like days-but couldn't have been longer then a few hours-a Longsword Gunship dropped to the planets surface with two men ready to take him to the rest of his small fleet, Tycen left Chinine taking wirh him what Anjuu had shown him and the hope to finish his training.

Oron watched as Ash and Tycen completed Illusion and then both of them left. Oron sighed, wondering why they had left so early. Now it was his turn to try this illusion. Focusing on the surroundings, he turned towards Revan and stared deep down inside him. Oron created someone he hoped Revan would recognize. In front of Revan, a man appeared with a red blade. He should have looked familiar to Revan, Oron reading up on some files when Malak was still alive and Revan killed him. Malak stood in front of Revan, his lightsaber illuminating the area and the Dark Lord staring into his eyes, his breathing being heard due to his voice mask. Malak then moved in to attack Revan. This would be a test for both Oron and Revan, for Oron, it would be how strong the illusion is and for Revan, to distinguish whether it was real or not.

Revan turned to see Darth Malak standing in front of him. He had seen plenty of things, from what the real Revan looked like to Darth Malak, Bastila, and Revan's other companions. He knew Malak was long dead, but what was more interesting is he seemed to be faded as if not fully their. He realized this is what a moonlight must look like when the other user isn't as powerful as you. Revan decided to turn it back upon Oron. The Malak slashed through him with nothing happening and then Malak turned upon Oron unleashing a force lightning, before Revan withdrew from his reversal of moonlight.
"Now both of you can see the dangers of using moonlight. There will always be someone who is stronger then you, but if you catch someone weaker, they will be in a vunerable position." said Anjuu.

[Enter Yuki]
Yuki tried to land on Chinine safely but she was not that good of a pilot, she crashed in the forest of Chinine, where she had found the ship. She climbed out of the ship and looked at it, the ship was definitely beyond repair and she could never use it again.
"I hope 'Revan' still has the Ebon Hawk, or some kind of ship."
She thought out loud to herself. She passed the river and headed into town. She wandered around town until she found a couple of people, she walked up to them.
"Hello, do any of you gentleman know where I may find a man going by the name of Revan, I am looking for him?"

Anjuu and Revan turned to look at the newcomer who was a young lady who appeared to have found their trainning place just off west of Kankage.
"I think she is talking to you." said Anjuu with a slight smirk, as he turned back to Revan. "Seems word of mouth spreads quickly."
Revan looked at the girl, she was pretty and didn't look like she lived on chinine. He only expected people like Old Anjuu here to live upon Chinine. Revan had never seen her in his life however so had no clue why she would be looking for him, and by his new name already. Had Lord Nanashi finally sent someone to find him?
"I am him. Is there anything you needed?" asked Revan curiously scratching his white hair on the side of his head for a moment. "I'm afraid I do not know who you are..."

Yuki thought to herself, she wondered if he had lost his memory, and then she noticed his hair was white and not black... but his face was the same...
"Oh... maybe you are not who I am looking for. You see I am looking for my companion named Zilfer but I have not been able to find him for years. When I heard of a man named Revan on Chinine I remembered Zilfer talking of his brother Revan and how he died, and I thought that you were Zilfer pretending to be Revan....."
She looked sad.
"Anyways, perhaps you or your friend here *speaking of Anjuu* could train me? I sort of lost or forgotten my memories including a lot of the force moves and tricks I have learned over the millions of years I have been alive."
She smiled at them somewhat embarrassed.

That was a name he knew right off the bat. Lord Nanashi's name before he became one of the ruling Dark Lords. If she hadn't seen him in years then she'd be in for a surprized when they met again. After all from what he had gathered he was a much different man then he had been back then.
"Zilfer goes by a different name these days. Last I knew he was off conducting a search of Korriban with Lord Cain, they seemed to think their was something of value there." said Revan as he offhandily shrugged. "I can't really speak for my 'friend' here, you'd have ask him."
"Who could say no to a pretty lady such as her?" said Anjuu softly. He seemed if a bit tired already but determined to hold it together. "I'm afraid we just finished our class upon the Shadow Arts, but if there was any other force technices you would like to know I am open to suggestions."

Yuki thought about what she remembered before she came-to in the forest alone. Alex had gone Evil and was going by Cain, if Zilfer is helping him that means Zilfer is evil as well.
"Oh dear this is not good.... after all these years he is the only friend I made that is still living....."
A tear rolled down her face.
"So if you are not Zilfer why are you going by the name of Revan, if I may ask?"
Yuki smiled at Anjuu's comment.
"Why thank you for that wonderfully kind compliment good sir! Well I was hoping to learn moonlight or mind trick..."
She looked down at the dirt.
