W.a.m.s.

[Rhoden Carbine]

Darik looked to Rhoden at the mention of Desade, "Later." he said. Darik gave him a piercing look but turned back to Mora. "A most interesting story. and that does sound like something Rhoden would do..." Darik said, "Oi!" Rhoden glared at Darik, but the man was looking at Prazutis now.

"The death of the Emperor, of course." Darik said, "I decided to find my own way in life, and learning the ways of the Force seemed to be as good a start as any. At any rate I began gathering knowledge, artifacts, and other such items of the past when and where I could." Darik paused and gave a faint smile, "I also gained a greater sense of self control, I've decided it's best if I remain in control of myself. Not always desirable, possible, or necessary--but a skill to practice."

"Ah... where might this stash of knowledge and artifacts be?" Rhoden asked casually, "Nowhere you need worry about." Darik said quellingly.

[Neive Undant]

Prazutis thought about the man’s words for a second before responding.
“Self control... an admirable thing to want to have, and I applaud you for finding it. Though, myself, I go down a different path. The way I see it, my motives require things that I could not have were it not for the force, and at times the force works through me without my own control. And 9 times out of 10, these things work out for the better for what I want to accomplish.”
Prazutis has said everything but the obvious. He was a dark user, yes, but he didn’t have anything against light side users. 2 sides to the same coin, as he had always said.
“Though, people go down different paths to achieve the same result, and I respect that.”
Prazutis didn’t pry into the mentioning of these artifacts. At the moment, he held no desire for ancient trinckets or items.

As Prazutis sat in the chamber, other force users around him, he thought for a minute. He could feel their auras resonating off of them, Prazutis’ own sticking out among the crowd with his dark energy. But could he possibly seek to learn to see these auras differently than others around him, he wondered?

Prazutis closed his eyes once more while there was a small pause in conversation, letting his senses wander around him, feeling their way around the biodome. He could feel the various plants within the biodome around them, but also the strong presence of the 3 other force users that sat around himself, as well as his own aura and energy. Their presence was more obvious to him, it was a louder aura that surrounded them, most of the energy within them all held a feeling of being clean and pure. However, expanding his own senses to the rest of the station, there was something else, or should he say, someone else... a dark, wrathful presence somewhere else in the massive station... and a powerful one at that, almost matching Prazutis’ own power, and surely matching the dark nature of it... he would have to find this person sooner or later. He would need to meet them.
But returning to those around him, he took a moment to see the individuals. First, he saw Mora. Her energy was neutral, a curious energy unknowing of the true nature of the force in its entirety. Rhoden, his was a darker presence, but he still had plenty of light energy to balance the dark. And rhoden’s companion, Darik... a beam of light in the veil of darkness of those around him. He was powerful indeed, more powerful than Prazutis himself... but his self control held himself back. Prazutis would surely surpass the man in power soon enough if he didn’t let go of this self control he had disciplined himself into obtaining. and then there was Prazutis himself... one half of the veil he had just felt, but not only was he powerful, he felt... his potential was still growing, with his knowledge following behind as fast as it could.
Seeing his own potential, he looked to the others. Mora’s untapped energy was bursting, she still had a long ways to go, but she had hope for becoming very powerful. Rhoden’s was just being realized as well, and his was a blank slate. Nobody knew what his extent of power was. And Darik’s was already found, if not close to being so. His energy was his own, and he could control it.
And as for the other dark presence... she was figuring out her powers. But she still had a ways to go. Just like Prazutis himself.
As Prazutis acknowledged the potentials, he felt a change. Looking over his own energy once more, it seemed he had unlocked another piece of the everlasting puzzle of the force. An energy that he had learned to see, to observe. And rather than it relying on life forms themselves, it differentiated the sensitive of the force from the other individuals that he felt scattered through the ship, their presence weaker than those around him, and the other one that was in the station.

[Mora Norith]

Leaning back to rest against the wall of the chamber, Mora draws her legs up until she is sitting crossed-legged in the seat. She notices Prazutis closing his eyes and the sense of being watched falls over her. His energy causes Mora to shiver involuntarily, the coldness seeping through her skin.

Trying to ignore him, Mora turns her attention back to Darik and Rhoden while at the same time drawing on the warmness of the environment around her to try and ward of the cold.

"You must have had a lot of time on your hands, I bet gathering all that took forever."

Another wash of that cold energy moves through Mora, causing her to stand up abruptly.

"Excuse me for a minuet."

She quickly walks out of the chamber, squeezing past Rhoden and Darik, and rushes through the forest to put as much distance between her and the cold energy as she can. The energy is still there, but less concentrated and seems to hover over her, becoming a background presence.

[Rhoden Carbine]

Mora quickly leaves and Rhoden stands as well, "I do believe we should be leaving. We have matters to attend to." he said, giving Darik a significant look. His brother stood and they left the chamber.

"What is it?" Darik asked, "Work, planning, things which don't concern the Empire--let alone Prazutis." Rhoden responded shortly as they entered his quarters.

[Neive Undant]

Prazutis laughed to himself softly... seemed as if those around him grew wary of his presence. Perhaps that was for the best. If your allies feared you, imagine how the enemy would feel. All he needed now was to make his presence known to those that opposed the empire.

It was time his enemies learned that Prazutis was here... and that he was not going to hold back on them.

Level 7 force app

As Prazutis closed his eyes, he thought to himself. It seemed the time had come he had become powerful enough to gain an advantage over both friend and foe. Fear... it was a marvelous thing. So cowardly, so degrading... yet for another, it was empowering. It gave a dominance over the fearful person that could rarely be taken by another way. The fact that they see you as a threat, but refuse to address said threat... it was a splendid thing to feel around him rather than within him.

Prazutis felt empowered, felt strengthened by the Dark side as the sheer discomfort, the absolute anxiety that had been shed by the two beings that had not long ago been in the chamber with him was consumed by the Dark side, and though Darik was less anxious and more cautious, the other two still let off enough raw energy from those negative emotions that they had felt, that they had failed to surpress... the dark side needed a quick way to harness this energy that it now held within the space around it. And Prazutis was the closest vessel that it could use to store this energy.
Prazutis' spiritual body within the force began to molt and shed its old skin once more, taking another step towards a new vast plane of untapped potential, unlocking the next door within the journey that he had taken himself through for so long, though he had much farther to go.
However, it was not himself that was being empowered by the emotions. Rather, it was the dark side around him feeding from these feelings, rather than his own body, his own midichlorians. But nevertheless, he could feel the dark side feed off of that negative emotion that the two felt, along with those from many others within the station. The dark side fed off of them, it fed off of the entire galaxy's dread and ire, though his sight was limited to what was currently around him.
The dark side again harnessed the energy that it had found and now possessed, sending it into Prazutis to use him as a container for this energy, like an urn containing the ashes, holding what was left of he who had passed on within. But the difference now was that Prazutis could turn that raw potential into a physical manifestation, and he could now feel a number of new ways to release this energy, ways that he had not been able to reach until he had reached the stage of power that he now had. However, the cycle continued through Prazutis, as the same process that had possessed him and tore at him before began once again.
Prazutis felt the flow of the force once again, now gripping it rather than merely guiding it. He didn't lead it where he wanted it to go. Rather, he began to slowly bend the flow of the force to his will, grabbing the flow of the force and dragging it towards him before spreading the flow through his limbs once more to balance the power throughout his body. His emotions also began to heighten, just as before. The fury and hatred he usually held was boosted, and in turn boosted the dark side around him, his own anger being used in his favor just as so many times before. However, these emotions also ripped at him, the dark side wanted more from him than his allegiance... the dark side wanted to consume him. However, that was his limit. He used it, it used him and his emotions in return. He would not let himself be consumed by the dark side and his focused anger turn to blind fury, as so many other dark side users had done.
His thoughts also fueled his dread, his rage that was already heightened by this step forward became stronger and stronger, feeding back into him in the form of the power he oh so desired, the power that he needed, and the single step he needed to take to continue his journey.
His mind also began to process such emotions more, both from himself and those around him.
rage... ire... anger... fear... anxiety... fury... all of these emotions spun through his head, exiting only for more and more to enter the same way, his own rage growing more and more from his mind's influence from all this negative emotion around it. Along with the fear, the anxiety and the discomfort from the others within the station he now sat within... it was intoxicating, yet at the same time it was extremely painful, the dark side using it as it ripped and shredded at both his mind and his soul, trying to drag him into the darkness farther than he already sat.
Prazutis reached into himself once more, trying to calm the nerves that had been shaken by the sudden surge of power through him, just as before. He tried to steady his mind, slowly the smoke fading on the battlefield of his mind and body, though he had not moved since the others left. But what was left was a Prazutis that held more power. A Prazutis that had opened a new part of this journey he was on, one step closer to his goal of mastering the force...

Prazutis took a moment to catch his breath, before standing without a word, grabbing his helmet and donning it once more before stepping out of the chamber himself.
