    ((sorry for the delay)) Hmmm.... Arclight thought as his brow furrowed. "I agree... I will do my best to do as you ask" said Arclight as he let his footsteps trail back into the cold Nabooian rain. The footfalls beneath him echoed with a muddy slush and although his mind seemed focused on its task, a small chuckle braced his lips as the sound reached his ears. However, when the sounds were finished, Arclight found himself within the icy rain, pushing his senses far and wide as he'd done before to illuminate the force energies hidden by mortal limitations. The only question now was how to channel it; before Arclight stood two different ways to use the energy he now had at the level of his perception, but both served as practical applications. So, seeing it within the limits of his curiosity, Arclight experimented with both channeling methods simultaneously. A powerful cloud of thought and emotion ensued, bringing the construction of concrete logic and focus, mixed with the chaotic swells of Arclight's emotions. At first the streams of energy gained were well enough to perform the action, but Arclight sadly underestimated the potency of using both forms. Instead of embracing the force, Arclight let the force embrace him and instead of choosing one side he chose both, which formed a rather explosive consequence. Like filling a dammed lake to its brim and not halting the water flow; the inevitability of destruction was drawn from this and Arclight's movements were a testament to this rather harsh realization. It did not immediately surface however and as Arclight tried to focus the energy he'd collected to perform the indicated task, the area around Arclight exploded with a large kinetic force that spread outward, knocking Arclight to the ground and flinging millions of raindrops in different directions... Arclight remained conscious, but was laying down in the mud as the fruits of his labor came to bite him in the butt. "I suppose I let off with a little too much power huh?" Arclight stated as if the event had not just happened.

    ((sorry it took me so long to post)) Arclight shivered a little, eying the shimmering night sky that poked its starry baubles into a beautiful nocturnal canvas. The knight sighed deeply and looked down at Tiana who had been standing with him as the others left. He saw her matted hair and black eyes and gazed deeply into her, hoping to gather her attention. His intentions weren't of intimacy, but as cold little drops of impatience began rubbing against Arclight's hair repeatedly, he supposed it was time to find shelter. He could see his master as she no doubt struggled internally to maintain what little consciousness of herself she held to and felt empathetic to her plight. His thoughts went with her in support and although he was merely her pupil, he hoped that she would not be the only one educating... Looking around with another rain induced cringe, the knight found a large rock over hang nearby. The distance wasn't great, but with his lumbering now asleep feet, he began the trek towards it in a broad interval. His heart was beating normally and his chest rising as it should be, but something about sitting for a long period of time made Arclight's legs feel numb. The grass about him was wet and filled with squishy mud that bulged out from the sides of his boot prints and although Fuh seemed determined on his course towards the rock, he was caught in the moment of downpour. The rain pushed its odor upon the breeze - an odor that Arclight had no equivalent to in Tatooine - and the rain massaged his sore muscles. He could feel each cold drop as it fell in parties of 3 or 4, pounding upon his back, shoulders and chest with grace. Yes, his temperature was falling rapidly and the frigidity of his body began to intensify, but he enjoyed, for a moment, the beauty of the storm. There was still distance yet between him and the overhang, but Arclight was taking his time as he sent a slightly difficult communication to Tiana through the force... It seems to be a little wet out here. I found a rock overhang nearby if you'd like to join me before we continue on to Theed?

    Arclight seemed to lighten up with the scholar's words now that Alastor stopped sniping every comment he made. Arclight was not intimidating by any means, but he could see that a man of his stature could prove somewhat threatening given slight aggressive stares. The figure of Arclight sighed as he thumbed through his greasy black hair and fell to the ground, landing on his rump rather soundly. A long sigh gutturally flowed through Arclight as he yawned simultaneously at the setting Nabooian Sun or suns. Arclight wasn't as focused on the number as much as the sheer beauty of the sight. "Thank you for understanding even slightly Alastor." Arclight let out as he fished around the basket for a hint of something else, but it appeared the entirety of the basket had been combed. There were no tasty morsels left for the knight, but he wasn't famished and would live with the hunger for what it was worth. "I don't even understand the direction I want to go right now, but I never really believed in extremes. I used to be considered a might good boy back in my hometown, but since then I've seen some crazy things, experienced some crazy things and been imprisoned. Life can't be all good... However, I've also experienced love, heartache and rage, but I don't want them to dominate every fiber of my being. It's a tough burden to bear, but I think if I can't embrace a certain amount of both philosophies then I might just not learn about them at all and leave it at that." Arclight stood up and paced a bit with hands nestled in his pockets ignoring the idle swaying of his sheathed swords. The movement of the wind blew gently across his face and body, showing that confusion may have been the least of his worries...

    Fuh looked at Alastor in mild irritation and palmed his face as if to say the message was not gleaned clearly enough. Fuh knew the man behind Alastor, the one pulling the strings, was apparently a well known Sith master. The thoughts of everyone here seemed to echo that regard, but Fuh could swear he was off track. The crazy glow had Fuh transfixed, but the words that doomed his whole concepts for the future, echoed as the words of his tormentor years ago; the words of his slave master that still echoed in his head today, trying to show Fuh that he would amount to nothing. "I did not say that the Jedi were more powerful than the Sith or vice versa, just that theoretically they hold the same power in different ways. You say that the dark side is more tempting than the light side and that is because the darker side of human nature is more tempting then complete altruism. For instance... Five minutes ago I was thinking about skewering you on the end of my Two-Handed vibro claymore, but I managed to resist the impulse, which is another element of human nature." Arclight passed off as he walked a little closer to the scholar discarding the remains of his latest sandwich towards a wandering squall. "According to a rather influential birdie in my life I have come to learn that the force, being what it is, is a plane not a line... The force, as I have come to realize" continued Fuh as he casually and subtly winked towards Tiana, "Is something a being can walk and is manipulated merely by choice. Sure there might in existence be a sure force path of light and dark, but there are many more to take. I am willing to bet you there is a Jedi who has taken on some Sithly aspects and a Sith who has taken to some more peaceful techniques." finished Fuh as he started to pace around the blanket taking care not to bump anyone. "I think even if there is no sure neutral ground to be had for the founding of an order, the Sith can learn a great deal from the Jedi and vice versa and the only reason they are spread so far apart is the sheer nature of polar opposites. People who are so opposite that when together push each other further apart, like magnets. So naturally the people who find themselves so far on either end cannot possibly comprehend the nature of the other. Sure you may think that the Jedi are but a fading candle, but in all reality they will just come back no matter what resistance you muster hence the continuing of the war. So I see where you were going with that, but what I don't understand is why you close yourself off to the power of the light side and instead only embrace corruption and hatred. A human being possesses all of these traits and as such a true force disciple would naturally hold both powers... Or so I think." Arclight coughed a little as the cold of the night started to chill him a little, but remembering Hoth he just shook it off. "Again though, this is my opinion; you have your opinions and although they may be 'wrong' (he says emphasizing the word with visible parenthesis) it is not up to me to tell you. I'm not an evangelist from another church, I'm not an acolyte of a cult trying to lure you. I'm merely who I am... Now, you asked me for my opinion and I gave it. Now you tell me something. How did you find yourself walking toward a picnic in the middle of nowhere?"

    Fuh's anger was still a force that lingered, but somehow he controlled his aggressive tendencies. His impulses seemed to fade into the beating winds of Naboo as time flew by. The knight's face fell directed upon Tiana for a small time. who seemed slightly uncomfortable, but seeing as how the "scholar" directed yet another question towards him, Fuh felt it impolite not to respond. Fuh turned his head to gaze once again at Alastor and hesitated a moment before walking over even closer to the center of the picnic, his stomach grumbling loudly... Man I have a beastly metabolism he thought to himself idly as he reached for another sandwich, squatting to put his hand once more in the finely woven basket. He didn't take his focus from the scholar though as he chewed heavily upon his food. Taking moments between the chewing though, Fuh got a few words in here and there. "It's not so much that I disagree with your think, but think that it is about as one sided as the Jedi... The Jedi close themselves to a great deal of experiences, pains, pleasures and other things the world has to offer in order to glean a purer connection with the force. However the Sith feed off of everything else; the purity of the feeling, the passion, the hunger... At least, that's what I've come to understand. Both orders lay at the extremes of the force when I desire a more middle ground." Fuh took another small break to finish his sandwich that disappeared fairly quickly and after swallowing continued, "In all my years as a living person I've only gathered few lessons from morality and my parents along with other friends have given me a basic knowledge of the word's dichotomy... I hate politics; it drives me up the wall, but seeing political debates shows me in a way exactly how the Sith and Jedi could've came to be. Each were beings specially attuned with the force and each chose a path based off of their own natures. Their paths were of a highly personal and human endeavour and from there they did little but form two individual rival cults. Following the same path I could make an order of my own if I follow my own path and choose my own ways..." Fuh took a moment and wiped of his cheek sighing contently... "I guess what I'm trying to say is that, I don't necessarily disagree with everything you are saying, but instead see that a medium is there to be reached and just sticking on one end, hypocritically yelling at the other is rather counterproductive." finished Fuh as he pushed himself to his feet and wiped the excess crumbs from his fingers...

    Fuh took a deep breath as the visions from before began to sink into his head. The grass around him seemed to touch lightly the hem of his heavy pants and pastel colors drove the light from the Nabooian scene into darkness. Fuh knew the day was crossing over to points of masked visibility and the picnic, if indeed the travelers remained, would need to become a campfire if they were to stay entertained. Not that Fuh was really all that motivated to do so... Emily, after taking a small break from the speaking limelight offered a few words to lighten the mood and change the subject, but Fuh shook his head. Fuh moved his hand from its position on the rock to his head in efforts to muster a suitable memory, but none of this 'Bekka' seemed to surface. "Sorry, Emily... I haven't heard anything about a 'Bekka' around here. This 'Corelli' character, if he's so knowledgeable, would be able to help you out a bit better than I can." Fuh went silent though as it seemed he hadn't the slightest bit to contribute to the conversation. Then as the scholar once again drew attention to himself, Fuh noticed the intense blue glow in his eyes. The idle threat glanced off of Fuh, his steam worn out. Attention seemed to draw Fuh toward the eerie blue and a surging power of uncertainty grew within him. The knight simply stared at at the fiend's sapphire eyes and began to piece together that something horrid gripped the scholar's consciousness. This stuff about his master seemed to lend itself to an unhealthy worship and as such drew Fuh into further suspect of possession. To simply lend a reply as to not be rude, Fuh simply stood where he was and continued staring deeply into the scholar's foreign spectral blue orbs. "No, I have nothing to say to Faust at this time. Are you taking messages?"

    Arclight stood still as the words between him spread about the plains. His eyes remained fairly unchanged as he breathed evenly, ignoring the clearly adamant acolyte before him. It wasn't as if Arclight hadn't heard of this type of people before, but he hadn't ever heard of them from a Sith's perspective, much less a Sith's perspective in general aside from Tiana's. The conversation built to a growing uncertainty in the Knight though as he leaned upon the rather large rock he found earlier that lay only a few feet from the blanket. He wasn't about to grasp what the clearly close minded fool was rambling about, but something seemed to give Fuh more understanding as to where he stood. It wasn't really much, but it seemed substantial enough. Residing in his own head, a series of thoughts spewed forth in a random stream, seemingly leading him further to where he should go next”¦ Two rather large figures of opaque shape resembling different parts of Fuh appeared casually and started conversation with themselves. ”œWell this seems to be a big waste of time,”

    ((It wasn't necessarily meant to be hostile... Lol... It was meant to show that he was annoyed. Lol... Oh well)) Arclight finished his small irritated spasm and quickly retreated back into his previous silence, playing pensive to the whole lot while still stewing in his own mind. It wasn't enough that he was having trouble coming up with his own mindset; now he had to sit through Sith babble, which really only made Arclight more confused. His eyes, in sparse intervals, took time to analyze the noble as he stood noting the scholar who approached. There was something to be said about the pretentiousness of an aristocracy when they paid attention to their lower subjects, but what exactly had this man to gain by spending his time out here amongst actual people? Arclight thought, wouldn't he feel more comfortable with servants and lives bending to his will? However, Fuh was in no place to really judge the man. Not too long ago he too stumbled rather haphazardly onto the picnic and was greeted with warm hospitality, why shouldn't he? One feeling burnt Fuh to his core though as he looked down toward the nobleman standing only a few feet away. A burning desire for revenge pierced Fuh's consciousness, pushing the limits of his mind until his face showed visible discomfort. The knight broiled underneath the skin, but didn't lash out at anyone; memories of his past as a slave haunted him, poking him with ethereal sticks and aggravating him until his own murderous temptations seemed overwhelming. Arclight's mind and consciousness could sate the desire from within, but the feelings were tremendous enough to give the knight pause. As a whole though, Fuh never moved. His head was down, for the most part, and other than an occasional small twitch, he was visibly fine. After a few minutes of calming his inner demons, Fuh sighed and returned his arms to their crossed position about his chest.

    At first Arclight's gaze remained stoic, his eyes pushing further to regions beyond their small picnic, but he thought to himself, with such charm this newcomer has introduced himself into our rather humble picnic... He must've thought his comment biting. Fuh, as he was known to friends, stood up, hands off of his swords and looked straight into the man's eyes with not so much as a sneer or grimace. His hands left his sides and Arclight stood there staring at the man until he resolved it was ok to move. Then, Arclight shifted his feet to a rather large rock nearby and leaned upon it, his arms crossed over his chest. "No, but it is customary to be suspicious of any random person who just happens to stumble upon a picnic... I am sorry if I showed you any disrespect your majesty, but you don't feel right to me and as long as I have any reason to disbelieve your peaceful bullshit, I believe I have the right to prepare myself for a battle. No matter how foolhardy it might be." Arclight remained still, his swords within arms reach, should he need them, but seeing as how the newcomer hadn't actually threatened them, it would be asinine to just go full force into a mad rage with no thought as to the reason. Fuh, aside from his watchful glance now and again, didn't really look all that upset, his eyes shifted back toward the picnic toward Tiana and Emily, when yet another interruption launched itself into their little corner of Naboo. Fuh rolled his eyes, making it obvious, as he seemed put off now; his hair was roughed, splayed in different directions; his eyes were shifting rapidly about, annoyed, by the currently massed unknowns and his posture slowly became interrupted as his arms were no longer crossed at his chest. What is it with this picnic spot that draws so many people, much less Sith... thought Fuh as he kicked a pebble across the ground.

    ((sorry it took me so long to post - got really busy )) Arclight, a man seeming to be of severe internal though, was not lost on the newcomer as he approached the picnic. Instead, he paid the man no attention aside from an idle nod as the breeze settled uneasily around him. There did seem to be an air of anxiousness though in the atmosphere about Fuh and judging as to its sudden appearance, he could only assume it had something to do with the man's presence. The stoic knight upon the floor looked upon the newcomer who seemed to be offering hospitable pleasantries of his own. He offered beverages and things to welcome himself to the picnic, but something about the man seemed off. Sure, his friendly demeanor was enough to fool even the common minded individual, but his façade wasn't that hard to pick apart for Fuh who sat there analyzing the man's every move. Fuh kept his hands near his sword sheaths should he need them and refused the beverages he was offered. Instead, Arclight took a small sandwich and started munching on it as Tiana and the newcomer talked. After a few moments of conversation it became clear as to the man's affiliation with darker powers, which did nothing to comfort Arclight's nerves. The man seemed simple and harmless enough, but something about him pushed Fuh's hand consistently toward his swords.

    Arclight watched, quietly munching a sandwich, as the two conferred in front of him. Although most of the conversation seemed to be linear in its path toward a repeatedly expounded upon theme, Arclight was interested in what Tiana had to say as well. It seemed his master was thoroughly drenched within the force's energy and it claimed her as a victim. She plunged into the waters of its bountiful energies only to find herself drowning upon its true nature. Arclight could only hope that this was not evident of everyone who hoped to embrace the true nature of the force. It tugged at his mind as he sat there, but something about the whole ordeal just seemed mind blowing. Fuh couldn't think of another way to go aside from this one. The side of darkness was overwhelming and claimed his righteous soul while the "clearly defined path" of light denied a part of himself that he couldn't hide. Vengeance, rage and incurable hatred burned deep within Arclight as he sat, but he also embraced the lofty ideals of compassion and mercy. He was not a killer he was not a priest... Where did that leave him though? Some place between the two where the dividing lines cross? The inter dimensional moral purgatory that lay there for any Jedi or Sith that denied their true identity? Arclight was thoroughly confused, but he chose to sit amongst the two ladies as they talked and to soak in what they had to say. It was intriguing to say the least, but it would seem that Arclight himself was starting to deny his own predetermined path. On the harsh winterlands of Hoth he was so determined to bring justice to anyone who needed it whether they liked it or not, but he looked at that past now with a wry and bemused smile. How naive I was... He thought as he sat there, but Fuh couldn't come up with a convincing reason aside from the anger that he felt toward his slave master for him to leave the prison. if that was the case, why didn't I search for him? Why did I go halfway across the galaxy to a place of snow and ice to find Tiana when that wasn't what I'd originally intended? Questions he couldn't answer right now and questions that would surely need to be answered before Arclight could even grasp any strain of the force's true entity. His motivation skewed and his purpose seemingly bent, but not corrupted, Arclight sat watching as the Nabooian plains brushed about under the planet's majestic winds. He noticed though, between bites, that the conversation was coming to a close. Fuh could only wonder why the woman, even after having so much in common with Tiana's sayings and thoughts, would consider leaving. However, it was her decision to do so and he would say bye to her as she left as any good ethical stranger would. ((Btw Tiana... The guy in my sig is the guy from this pic http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t224/pinckz/hellgate_london_001.jpg))

    "Well that's just it Emily... I wasn't. Oh and you can call me Fuh if you want, Arclight is a nickname and Fuh is closer to what my real name is anyway." Arclight looked at the ground for a moment, feeling the warm breeze brush across his face as he ate a bit of his sandwich. It had been a while since he actually thought about his escape and he wondered where his cellmates ended up. They weren't the favored times of his life, but he figured recollection brought more understanding sometimes; it was better to remember your past and move on then to shield it from your mind. "I was imprisoned far before my slave master even thought of releasing me and I broke out of that prison about 2 or so years ago. Tiana and I've been together ever since... Crazily enough I found her on Hoth, but I've been attached to her ever since. Not physically obviously, but you know" said Fuh as he looked over toward Emily and Tiana with a smile. "Oh and don't be sorry, it couldn't be helped. As long as there are wealthy people in the world who seek to injustice weaker few with work to fuel their economic beast, then there will inevitably be slavery. I'm just lucky I managed to escape the prison I was sent to, instead of staying at the village and watching as everything I grew up with died at my feet." Arclight said as the vision from earlier replayed in his head as if teasing him with the butchering of his childhood. "It makes me angry to know that I wasn't there to protect them, but I was imprisoned by the very man that did it so I really couldn't have done anything in that state." Arclight felt helpless as the feeling of loss surged within him, but he'd only recently realized this phenomena. Without the vision implemented by Tiana's odd exercise, Arclight would've never seen his village die... So it wasn't entirely his fault... It wasn't Tiana's fault either. Wherever this man was, he was going to pay dearly.

    Arclight was thoroughly soaked by the conversation as it passed. He listened contently, munching idly on the sandwich that was offered him, but offered nothing as the two seemed hooked on each other's words. He didn't really have too much to say because he felt that their words mirrored his own evolving beliefs. Deep in his mind as he lay preoccupied, only idly hearing the voice of his master as months seemingly passed by, Fuh had a crude but beneficial out of body experience. There he stood, between what seemed to be two great powers within himself. The plane upon which he stood seemed to mock the ground that he laid on, but something different struck him as he began getting up. He didn't see his dormant body nor Tiana during the entire trip. For a moment, it took Fuh by surprise to see her gone, but after a while it became true to him that the entire thing was a dream. It had some reality to it, but as Fuh continued to look around it was apparent that this was either a dream or Tiana was messing with his head again. On one side of the plane you had a seemingly innocent meadow filled with joy and harmony. It represented everything that seemed to be good in the world, while the other half was the polar opposite. Sins beyond sins were committed like nobody's business as raping, pillaging, and murdering seemed to be the norm. The plains lit aflame and the creatures of the grass seemed to grow in size and become vicious monsters. It seemed of little choice of where Fuh favored to go, but something drew him to the other half as well. Each step he took towards the meadow however made him as an avatar darker and conversely as he stepped the other direction. It seemed the darker a path he walked the lighter he became as if to balance the two phenomena. Just when Fuh seemed effectively puzzled the two energies collided into one and the field existed as if it always was. The green grass shone in the bright sunlight but amongst its beautiful caress even the foulest of crimes were committed. Everything existed in balance he thought to himself as his body lay in a rather strong coma. Every step you make towards the darkness a coexistent effort is pushing in the opposite direction. The force and or morality didn't work as a mere path, but as a galaxy within itself. There are many places you can be within it, but no matter what, it is balanced. If the force is unbalanced it will bring balance to itself through the use of morals and vice versa. It was a great deal to take in and, even if it was misleading, Fuh felt strongly in the visions he saw and believed that it was a message letting him know more about the power he strove so hard to learn. Fuh sat mulling the instance over as he ate a sandwich in peace, keeping an eye on the two before him. After their stories of their parents was shared though, he felt it only just to share his. So, in between bites, Fuh explained in a rather calm voice, "If what I think is true, my parents were killed by my former slave master on Tatooine".

    Naboo

    Fuh smiled widely as his master's full craziness was brought to the conversation. He thought she was really one of the only dependable people in the galaxy. You can pretty much always depend on Tiana being crazy, you can't do that as much with other people. With other people int he galaxy there always seems to be this overhanging facade that dwarfs any truths that they may expose. Sure Tiana had other parts to herself that seemed a little more driven in certain areas, but each of us has a good side and a bad side. A Jedi that claims to be infallible and pure is most certainly hiding skeletons in his closet and a Sith that claims to be utterly mad and destructive just might keep a teddy bear by his pillow. Arclight looked about the plains though before seeing Tiana's hand brushing his attention further to the picnic before him. He was scoping around because for some reason he thought they were being followed and e was a little duty driven. He was a bit interested in moving off of Naboo, but it really isn't everyday that you run into someone having a picnic in the middle of a meadow; much less an accommodating person that is willing to share it with you. So, un-equipping the swords at his hips, Arclight set them aside and joined the two ladies as they ate and talked. "Thank you Emily" Arclight said as he reached for what looked to be another sandwich. His large hands seemed to dwarf its small packaging, but it was refreshing having something to eat after all that time.

    Fuh's gaze, as he and Tiana continued their walk, was slightly interrupted by something in the road. At first Fuh was tempted to ignore the rather small disturbance on the road, but upon further inspection it was actually a woman preparing a picnic in the middle of the meadow. She wasn't a large obstacle and easy to walk around, but Fuh's curiosity was tested. The air around him whipped at his bare ears and something told him approaching the woman wouldn't be a bad idea. Judging how Tiana and Fuh's course brought them right through the middle of her picnic, Fuh steered himself before breaking what looked to be a fairly nice basket and what would assuredly have been a nice picnic. Trying to remain at least somewhat polite, Fuh stopped a few feet from the picnic blanket and stared into the woman's mixed eyes with his own blue as she seemed to stare right back. "Hello" Fuh said in a very curt response, his natural voice resonating in a rather low, but cool tone, "my name is Arclight. I will let my master introduce herself if the need pleases her, but I am curious as to who you are." Fuh looked away for a moment, but noticed that she was watching him closely, "as it seems you are of me." Fuh's three swords gleamed in the sunlight as he was sure they would, but he hoped that his armaments wouldn't set the woman on edge.
