Zilfer: I'm not doing this for him. Or anyone, right now i'm without a purpose in the galaxy, however whenever i find my true cuase, i want to be stronger.
Zilfer looked at the newcomer.
Zilfer: Heh, i didn't know you liked company as well.
Zilfer couldn't help but grin.
Zilfer: As you know i'm not a traditional kumori, more of a blade, and i cut my own path through the future.
Zilfer was unaware that he was echoing words previously said.

Selene clipped the lightsaber back onto her belt. She did not like to be hostile, but her training had her read for anything. Everyone was hostile until proven otherwise. She walked up and gave a slight bow. She did not understand the comment of the shadow guard looking man, so figured it was some sort of inside joke.
"I am sorry to disturb you again, but I am looking for a place that I may be able to find out information of the planet, such as a library or archive."
Selene was a master putting small details together to fill in the big picture and finding locations from legends. That is how she found Korriban and Chinina from the Book of Lucias; even though they where never mentions directly.

Alex: Heh, you didn't think that you and Revan were the only two people to stop by and visit over the years?... An archive you say? The only place like that around any more would be in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Tell Ryuu Drake I sent you, he'll help you out.
Alex turned his attention back to Zilfer, thinking about the last words he had said.
Alex: A blade, huh? Plunging ahead blindly with no consideration of the world around you will only leave you as scarred and dull as any carelessly swung blade. You do have a purpose, Zilfer. And if you want to be truly powerful you'll have to figure out what that purpose is, because this is not something I can simply tell you.

Zilfer: I know this, however bashing me over the head with it probably wont help. However even a dull knife can kill.
Zilfer shruged for a moment and then figured he'd comment one more time though tenkai would probably cut through his words.
Zilfer: My purpose as of now is to get stronger, and master this fourth art of tenkai, i beleive you called it.

Selene smiled. This Luminos was well connected and very knowledgable. She bowed again and looked at the two.
"Thank you for your time again. My Lucias light..."
Selene paused. She was trying to break the habit of deitifing her grandfather. He was just a good person when the galaxy needed him.
"May the Force be with you."
She bowed again then left the two men to their sparing or training. She headed towards her shuttle and took off again this time heading to the core.

Alex: Its proper name is the "Kakuremino". The shadow cloak. Through proficient mastery of Tenkai's other three shadow arts one was said to be able to formulate a new technique that could utilize the maximum power of all three at once. However, during Tenkai's lifetime there were none strong enough to pass this technique on to and so it faded from the galaxy... without the blade, I myself haven't even the power to use this fourth art to the fullest... and I've only ever taught this power from the blade to one other...

Zilfer: another? who was that....
Zilfer was very curious who else might have learned the technice. Zilfer shifted his weight slightly and leane against a tree.
Zilfer: is there any specific trainning i need before i begin? or are you ready to kick my ass all over the forest?
Zilfer knew the power difference was very large.

Alex smiled at Zilfer, his curiosity was as active as ever. It was almost as if he'd never left.
Alex: Now, now, I don't train and tell. Besides, that one still has yet to grasp the full potential of the technique... but yes, there is much training you require before we begin. You must learn proper control. For while Kakuremino itself is a neutral power, the varient I teach draws upon the power of the dark side...

Zilfer: figures, knowing your past.
Zilfer shruged, though he was still curious about the other student still. He could only think of a few people, and all but 1 wheren't likely.

*Yukiro finally decided to put a word in*
"Um......Alex is it? May I train with you too?"

Alex: Ah, Yukiro was it? Of course you can. Although I'm not sure if you've had any training in the Kumori Shadow arts before...
Just then Alex raised an eyebrow at Zilfer's comment.
Alex: Oh? And just what does that mean?
He asked in a half way joking tone.
Alex: To be able to wield the dark side without being corrupted by it requires a level of power and control no normal sentient has yet possessed. Revan could not do it... Jack couldn't do it... even I failed. What I am to teach you is a fifth art of the Kumori which I have developed myself... a dark art... the Black Dragon.

Zilfer: Always something so forboding with you, why couldnt you name it pink gizka?
Zilfer said joking back with alex a bit.
Zilfer: So, where do i start.

Alex: Hmph... you'll understand the reasoning behind the name... when you see it.
Alex slowly returned to his spot underneath the tree. He sat back down and picked up a worn old book and began leafing through it.
Alex: In order to learn this power you must conquer your inner darkness. And not in the same way you did when you took the trial of shadows. There you only confronted it. In order to use this attack you must conquer it and dominate it. Be able to command it's power at will without losing any control to it... this is near impossible simply do to the fact that most people's darker sides are just as powerful as they are... if not stronger... and know all their faults.
Alex said all this while reading through his book. He nonchalantly licked his finger and turned the page before continuing.
Alex: Even the most gifted master's in all the galaxy can do little to control the power they hold inside. That's why the Jedi preach about controlling your passion and forbid love. It's not that these things are evil... it's that they can lead to conflict with one's inner darkness. I conflict that usually cannot be won.

Zilfer: well i dont like the sound of that...
Zilfer looked at the book.... he wondered where it came from.
Zilfer: What is that book..... could it be the book of Samasu, Kenshi?
Zilfer figured that would explain it's extensive knowledge.
Zilfer: I donno, for ever yin there is a yang, however, most forces arent stronger then another, that is just the illusion painted before us as we live no? Though if my inner darkness is me, then how would i be able to distinguish between the two?

"No I haven't had other shadow arts training before..... is that bad?"
*Yukiro was eager to learn something new, and she wanted to finally see Zilfer fight, she listened to the explanation intently*
