A new day dawning Pt 2

Kovan stopped once he got to the large rock cave that he usually slept in. He turned around and sat, waiting fro his new young pupil to arrive. This one might be a problem to keep loyal, but if he was as strong as Kovan thought he was, then he would be worth the risk.

*walks up to him as he sees Kovan*Are we ready to begin?

"Of course." Kovan stood up and was suddenly a tall human in a black battle suit. "The trick is picturing the exact person you want to be." His voice had grown deeper and more gristly. "You have to think of everything. You can't waver even the slightest, or the image will be ruined. Before, in the bakery, I noticed that your left eyebrow was constantly changing lengths. A sure sign of an ameture. Try it out. Make sure you keep all of your features constant!"

*focuses on a human very hard as he changes to a human with red clothes and a katanna and the features look perfect*How is this?

Kovan's human form smiled. "You're a very good learner. Now see if you can adjust your voice any. It's key in a good transformation." Kovan made his voice high and squeeky. "Everybody's voice is different." He returned it to normal. "So you have to find one that isn't somebody else's and stick with it."

*picks a voice that is has a medium deep tone*How is this? So far I haven't heard anyone with this tone.

"Good, good. You're progressing very well. I believe it is time to stop for the day. If you wish to learn more...you know where to find me." He turned back into a fox and stepped into his cave, the darkness enshrouding him in a conforting blanket.

*nods*Thanks for the training but I wonder what I shall do know*changes into a phoenix and gets ready to fly away through the forest*

Kovan watched from the inside of his cave. So he's a phoenix...he'll be hard to turn. But a dark phoenix sounds perfect...my father would be proud if I hadn't killed him already...

*gets closer to the city as he prepares to change back to his human state*That Kovan sure is nice but something about Kovan is fishy.

Kovan returned to the back of his cave and pushed a rock past the enterance to be in complete darkness. He walked to the back, knowing his way around perfectly. Stopping in front of a dimly glowing stone, he covered it with a cloth he'd gotten in the city. In the darkness, he smiled and laughed softly. "One day, father, you'll see that I'm better than you. Someday soon." Uncovering the rock, he curled up beside it and fell asleep. Underneath the rock laid his father's remains, their smell blocked by a simple dark spell.

*makes it back to the city*What shall I do maybe I should go back to see what Kovan is really up to in the cave.

Kovan woke up and blinked in the near darkness. He opened the entrance to his cave and saw his pupil coming towards him. He smiled and waited paiently. Today was the day he would turn him, if all went well.

So what am I gonna learn today?

Kovan smiled. "I have something to show you, if you're willing to trust me." He smiled and turned around, looking over his shoulder at Tentaichi before walkng slowly into the cave.

I do*follows*

Kovan led him partway into the cave, then closed the door. "If you can't stand the darkness, then you don't deserve to be here." He didn't hesitate, but continued on to the stone that locked in his father's remains. He closed his eyes and waited for his pupil's footsteps to approach the stone.

Darkness but why darkness?

Kovan smiled. "Because darkness is thought, and thought is power. Darkness will give you all the power you need. Since I mostly trust you, I'll tell you my name. You might have heard it before. I'm Kovan." He smiled and waited for the other's reaction.

Why would I need power when I can earn it from my training?

Kovan frowned a little. "Training can only get you so far. When you have darkness, you can become infinitely powerful. If you still aren't convinced, I can show you just how powerful the darkness can be." He motioned a tail towards the stone. "Remove it and you'll get your answer."

*removes it*

The rotting bones sat below the rock, their stench finally reaching the cave. Kovan smiled. "He was my father; one of the greatest murderers of all time. Thanks to the darkness, I was able to end his reign over this land and over me." He inhaled the sickeningly sweet scent joyfully, delighting in it's message.

(...ten, where r u?)

(Sorry about that)
Yeah that's something he said*covers his nose smiling*
