“As you know, the Force is separated into three aspects, some call them heads, but they are all part of the same whole. With Sense you learned how to feel around you whether it was life, the force itself or a prickling in your perceptions warning you of danger. With Control you learned to take the surrounding energies around you and to bend them to your will, to control not only your own energy but the energy around you. The force is everywhere, and has a hand in everything. Today I am going to teach you how to manipulate those energies, which is the heart of Alter, during my apprenticeship this was the single most difficult aspect for me to Master but in the end I did, With Alter you can move objects with just a thought.
As Warvanus lifted the small stone, Kita had already figured it should be easy enough of a task. What didn't seem easy was the electricity the War-Bringer was able to create with just his fingertips. She had remembered seeing her master Tormentous use that sort of power back on Zoist. It was something she had found amazing and something that started to really open the door for her wondering what the forces limit could be.
"With the marriage of the three aspects you can perform feats like this and other feats some consider unnatural.”
Kita smirked slightly at that comment. "Unnatural. Yes." She crossed her arms as she half joked with him on the subject. "Because creating lightening from your fingertips is completely natural compared to what else you could do with the force."
”What we are going to do today is we are going to open the door to you on the realm of Altering, what I want you to do is stretch out, touch the stone with the Force become familiar with it, and then I want you to try to make it rise, I do not expect you to but with practice and study you will. I want you to show me that you have the power to alter the force energy around the stone. Summon your most potent of emotions let the Dark Side fill you let its power flow through you, bend it to your will and once you do that bend the energy around this stone to your will”.
Kita continued to stare at the rock pile in disbelief before meeting Warvanus gaze. "Uhhh…" She scratched her head in embarrassment. "We need another rock…"-BEGIN ALTER LVL 1-400 Words-
Staring at the stone before her, Kita knitted her brow in partial frustration as well as determination. She wanted to raise the stone...but also allowing the darkside of the Force as he instructed was going to make it a bit harder for her to accomplish this task. She hated using it. The way it made her feel because she was afraid of it. Afraid of being consumed by the dark energy. But of course it was something she had to grow used too using...especially in this training session. These thoughts ran through her mind as she attempted focusing on the stone before her. Kita had been staring at the stone for 15 minutes concentrating on moving the small object with the Force. But still she felt nothing happening between her and the rock. She grumbled to herself in frustration. She could tap into the Force easily before...but now just trying to move the stone was becoming a huge pain in the butt.
Kita decided to try a different approach with the rock. Closing her eyes, she attempted examining the stone for any way to connect with it. With a great determination she felt her energy move around the stone itself, trying to see every small detail with the object. Reaching with her mind through the Force, she could feel the smooth cold stone...almost as if she was holding it in her own hand. Sturdy and strong, she imagined the weight of it. It wasn't enough information for this young Sith apprentice however. With a furrowed brow she delved deeper into the stone and realized it had its own energy.
She hadn't noticed before since it was not a living being like herself. The energy within seemed stagnant...but in reality it was moving also. Just at a much slower pace then herself. One would not think this had any Force energy if they impatiently got up and walked off without even trying to truly examine it before them. She felt the swirling energy move slowly, gently...almost undisturbed.
Pushing her senses further, Kita began feeling the rocks energy and gently went along with the slow moving current. She came to see that the rock, although strong and tough on the outside, it had flaws. Much like that of any living being. The stones years of creation from the small particles it once was, dealing with the weather and pressure within the atmosphere caused its imperfections as it remained to build itself and stay strong through its hardships. Much in comparison with a human being. It was imperfect. Meaning it could be easily manipulated under her own influence. But the young Sith apprentice decided in not moving the stone for now. Kita wanted to see if she could change the Force energy within the stone first.
Taking a deep breath, she focused herself into the rocks energy. Using her own energy, she started pushing the snail slow flow with her own energy field, causing it to speed up just a bit. Feeling its energy begin to pick up pace, she could feel it move pushing its way quicker through its hidden crevices. However it wasn't good enough for Kita. She took it further by moving it along faster. Its flow now really moving as she continued to push the stones energy to it limits. She wanted to prove to herself she could indeed move this rock. But instead...she felt something else occuring instead.
The speed was becoming to great for the stone. The speed of force energy Kita created was pushing between the cracks of the stone to quickly, causing it to start tearing it down from the inside out. She could feel the stone shaking, its tremors like small contant pulses within her. Attempting to try and stop the flows pace, it was to late. The stone could be heard starting to crumble before finally falling into a pile of small rocks before her and the War-Bringer.
