Well, I'm here. Sereth is my only charrie so far.

There was a bounce in Sereth's step as he approached the partially walled town. His intelligent eyes scanning the buildings, people, especially those in black coats, and everything else. At first glance, it was impressive, but the young philosopher looked deeper. The men in black coats all seemed to have a scowl, where they like this originally, or did the training change them? He knew from his travels that a black silk coat meant Asha'mon, a legendary status to this hopeful.

His eyes continued to scan, noticing pins of swords, and 'dragons' on the collars of many black coats. He guessed that this was some kind of rank, but that was all he could gather with a glance. An Asha’mon with both sword and dragon noticed the intense scrutiny of the new comer, and shook his head. Sereth could only imagine he muttered, but the distance to great for him to overhear. Sereth lowered his gaze a portion, trying to avoid offending someone who he was fairly certain could tear him apart without a second thought, though he did approach him. He had to know where to go after all.

The man's foot tapped unceasingly, another clear sign of his annoyance, as Sereth asked the simple question. "What building do I go to, to learn how to channel?" With a sigh, a black sleeve lifted, the manicured finger pointing towards an inn. "Go there, wait for some poor bastard to pick you up, and leave me alone." Sereth obeyed without question, there was something odd in the man's voice, a less kind version of his former teacher.

On his short journey to the inn, Sereth thought. Nearly every black coat seemed upset, easily irritated, and so many other negative emotions. Now, was this coincidence, the training, or the taint? From his long discussions with his teacher, whom he later learned had a rather large incite on such things, his thoughts settled on the taint. The reality of his situation settled in, he would go insane, and he would be a weapon. The first didn't bother him as much as the latter; his teacher often said the only way to accept truth was to be labeled insane.

Sereth was ready for the truth.

Yeah, I like the idea of a brain with the power. So much more room to develop, not to mention I like monolouging.  ;)

A rivalry with a dread, hmm, sounds like if it ever came down to it poor Arcon would be at a distinct disadvantage, but hey, he should live, so why not?  :)

When/If it gets cleared, who will post first? ^_^;

Haha, thanks, but I don't want special treatment until I do something deserving of it. :)

Though if you want to do either social interaction or one power basics, that'd be wonderful, and good for you since Ayrik needs a few modules till greater dreadlord status.

I think Ayrik has to big a head start to be his rival.  ;)

I'd seen the whole strength thing doesn't come until full dread status, but I thought since they were in the Acolyte/Adept list, that they'd be fine. -shrugs- I suppose since the ones I want aren't really available, social interaction doesn't sound to bad. This narrows the choices down to rivalry and one power basics.. Oh well. ^_^ Add social interaction onto the list.

Hmm, well, looking over the modules there are quite a few that I want to complete with Arcon. So, I think I will just list the modules that I want completed with him, and any teacher/classmates/RPer who wants to help me complete 1 or more can pick from the list. ;)

One Power Basics

OP vs. Channelers

OP vs. Non-channelers

Elemental Studies fire/air/spirit

Rivalry (Preferably with another acolyte male/female doesn't matter.)

OP progression

The one that I want to get done either in acolyte or adept the most is definitely OP vs. Channelers, but any of these that anyone wants to help me out with would be greatly appreciated. I've got big plans for Arcon, and he needs to get raised for them to come true.

Arcon's gaze locked on the new teacher. In truth, he was surprised that Jodeen wouldn't be here to teach him and his classmates, but not a hint shown on his face. He was raised better than that. He watched as Ayrik pointed out the students, each one demonstrating the weaves they'd learned. He watched closely, most had developed different skills than he, of course, that was to be expected. He was unique in this small class. He was gifted in three powers, and only one the norm.

As Ayrik's seemingly disinterested finger fell on him, he embraced the source. The extra practice he'd put in paid off, he seized Saidin on the first try. He wove his small weaves, fire for light, and let it dissipate. He wove a similar weave the next time, except adding air to set the small sphere ablaze, and proceeded to use spirit to drag out the heat, and place it in the ground beneath one of those bastards who had finished before him. A smirk was suppressed as he watched him squirm for a moment, before physics took the small heat away. Lost forever in the massive planet beneath them. With that satisfaction, he released the source. Doing his best to ignore the longing that comes with such an action...

His face remained passive, but in truth he was excited. Finally, some more weaves to learn! His eyes fixated on the strands that Ayrik wove, simple, but he could find applications for them. When it was time for him to light the candle, he pulled a single strand of fire, and wrapped it around the wick. Oh, a fire did light, but the entire candle melted from the heat. To much! He quickly pulled a strand of air from the blaze, and tried to avoid the mistake he'd made on the last weave. Instead, it was to weak, and the gust of air only suited to fan the blaze, catching on the student in front of him. Admittedly, this was satisfying, it was the other one who had beaten him. Though, one should avoid making enemies as well as friends, and quickly he used the more familiar weave of spirit to drag the heat deeper into the Earth. He responded to the glare with a shrug, it was an accident... this time.

He gritted his teeth with the next weave, earth and water? Sweat appeared on his brow as he tried to bend these two elements to his will. They were like bands of iron compared to the soft string of the other three. he wove into the ground, the effort rewarded with only a four square inch piece of earth turned to mud. Rage skirted the edge of the void, he would not fail like this again..

Then something a little more unexpected happened, he was told to pick a flower? He wondered briefly just how much of the taint had touched Ayrik before being raised, but still obeyed. Either he was insane or not, either way, not a good idea to disobey a full Dreadlord. He returned with his pink lily, and watched as Ayrik wove something he lated called a keeping. Interesting, and definitely useful. He wove a small piece of all five powers onto the flower, straining with the water and earth, but pushing through without showing his difficulties.

It wouldn't wilt, ever? He allowed a smile to cross his lips, he noticed that young Andorian watching him, he too smiling. He could only imagine the fool liked flowers, and thought he'd found a companion, but of course it was wrong. It was another thing to add to the growing symbolism of this place. He'd picked a flower from the a guardian in the Great Lord's fortress, and it would never die. He was picked by the Great Lord from the garden of mankind, and so the smile. He would outlive this flower, when he gained immortality by the Great Lord's side..

With these pleasant thoughts in mind, he was dismissed, releasing the source, he returned to his rooms. He gently placed the lily on the stand next to his bed, and stared at it with that clever smile, before he scolded his face into indifference, and went to grab a bite to eat. His real training would begin soon, he would need his strength.

Actually I was referring to one of the modules that I found, not Intro to Saidin. He said I could go ahead with his development, so I plan to. Though I should finish up that last post.. I'll PM him and ask him to finish it up for me, a different teacher doesn't seem like it'd be out of place in the Fortress. 

But all this brings up a question, is the info at shayol-ghul.com accurate, or is there a new store of the modules for advancement and the like?

Well now that I've got Arcon out of cryostasis, lets get the ball rolling.  :)

The first module I'd like to complete is One Power Basics, so he can tie off weaves and the like, might be useful down the road.

Oh, and while I'm here, any new dreads out there willing to be Arcon's rival? He is a rather feisty one and it just makes sense.  ;)
