Takumi laughed hard in surprise as he saw Reven get it in his first try, surely the young hapan had some rare gift in the force. Which taku had not yet properly named or actually identefied. Takumi arm streached toward the board and forced both darts that he and Reven had already thrown.
Taku walked up to his apprentice and gave him one dart. "Lets see who does better" said the former Jedi with a fox smile.
Takumi hand opened up as he closed his eyes. The dart began to levitate atop his hand, Takumi eyes twiched a little and suddenly his hand shoot forward and the dart flew like a small bullet, this was probably the average for someone of Takumi level of power, it was not a perfect manipulation but it was still good although most Jedi knights or even fifteen year old padawans could matched that.
The dart impaled its self on the border of the second and third inner circle. Takumi crossed his arms and watched how Reven would fare.

"Here goes nothing" said Reven as he lifted up another dart into the air with the Force. Like before, he moved the now shaking dart in a back and forward motion before releasing his grip he had over it with the Force causing the dart to fly towards the board. The dart landed in the fourth inner circle which gave Reven the impression that the fact that the dart was shaking when he moved it around in the air had something to do with where the dart landed. After all, it is hard to aim something that's moving while you're trying to aim.
"Say Taku..., what exactly is the difference between the lightside and darkside of the Force?. I mean I know for a fact that dark Jedi and Sith use the darkside, but I just don't understand why they use it" asked Reven hoping that this question wasn't too personal for Taku. He of course heard of both sides of the Force in books, but there was no explanation on what they exactly were since an untrained Force sensitive could attempt to learn the ways of the darkside if they found out it's source.
ooc:Sorry about posting so late. I had to prepare for a speech that I gave today in public speaking.

"Looks like I win this round" Takumi said happily, and walked back to the board, grabbing both darts again and handing the boy one, while he kept another. "Let's see how you fare this round" The former Jedi said, while smiling.
Takumi levitated his dart once more and threw it, but Reven sudden question threw off Takumi concentration and the dart flew off stucking it's self in the outer ring. "Sss" Takumi said while scratching his head as he looked at the board, "You had to pick the toughtest question didn't you" Taku complained in his head.
"How should I put it...." Takumi kept scratching his heavy mane of hair. "To most, the light side of the force, is happines, joy, love and generally being in balance while the dark side is anger, fear, jelousy and not thinking straight... Well thats from the point of view of the Jedi, even if the forbidd things like love" Takumi took a small pasue and crossed his arms "But is not a simple as that... You could say that the light side of the force is more of a rational approach to the force, while the dark side is a more emotional path. The Jedi call it a short cut to power, and it might be to some... I think it's just using your emotions" Takumi took a deep breath and let it all out, he was not a phylosofer or a sagely force user. He was just a guy with a lightsaber, that if someone got in his way he wouldn't flinch to cut up in half.
"Having been in both side, I can say... The dark side is like your favorite candy, a endless supply of your favorite candy... Makes you feel good but eat to much of it and you'll end a whole day stuck in a toilet" That was the best way Taku could explain what he thought about the dark side "The dark side is corruption, it is temptation that comes from your core, and is born from selfish acts of people... sometimes so strong it has a will of it's own" he sighed "I don't know why the sith use it, or other force users use it, some seek it to protect what is dear to them, there have been many that have willingly used the dark side to protect and defend what they care about. hehe I'm not the best to explain this" Takumi laughed softly, he took a moment to look at Reven.

"I can see why it's very tempting to use the darkside. To tell you the truth, I can see myself giving into my emotions with good intentions, though I can't imagine myself becoming something evil like a Sith" said Reven after Taku gave a somewhat simplified explanation on the darkside and the lightside of the Force. How exactly would I end up if I ever do use the darkside? If I had to guess, I could probably get away with using it once or twice, but if I do give in, how will I know that the darkside has completely corrupted me before it's too late thought Reven as he reflected on what Taku just said.
ooc:Sorry for the short post.

"It's not as easy as I pick the dark side over the the light side Reven" Takumi said sternly his eyes watching the pretty Hapan "I noticed I had fallen the moment I stroke down my first student..." Taku found himself with a lack of words. "In reality I was using the dark side long before that... way before that, around the time I picked her up" The bear of a man forced himself to sat, he had never really spoken to anyone about Hime, the girl he took under his wing and the one that betrayed him.
"The force, people heart ain't that easy to figure out... I've been a fool for most of my life" Taku was currently at his weakest, he usually drank at this times to prevent his depression from taking over, he had done so many unforgivable mistakes in his life, commited so many sins simply becouse he lacked a purpused, his dream was taken a way by a group of dark Jedi and his hope for the Jedi died the day they refuced to accept Hime as Takumi apprentice, which forced him to leave the Jedi behind seeing that girl would give him a purpuse once more, it turned out the other way as the slave girl stole everything from Takumi, and once the former Jedi found a life under the care of another fallen Jedi, he lost him... destroying all hope he had for the future.
Eventually Taku became a thug, then a slave then a killer... Then he murdured Hime and eventually he sloughtered his master simply out bloodlust. Reven was now Takumi greasted hope and fear, the boy gave the former Jedi a purpose but he could easily turn out the same way like Hime did, leaving the broken man behind with only shattered dreams and a empty heart.

"Well in my personal opinion, I don't think you've completely fallen. If you have, then you wouldn't be regretting what you've become. I mean, naturally,everybody in someway thinks that they are good, even a corrupt crime king or a Sith Lord. But those that have realized that what they're doing is wrong can mend their ways and hopefully learn from their mistakes in order to help prevent others from walking the path he or she once took" said Reven as he sat besides Taku in a near by chair.
The young hapan honestly wanted to say the "redeem themselves" instead of mending their ways, but he had a feeling that it wasn' the phrase he should say. After all, there have been some Jedi that have redeemed themselves through out history and he felt that if he reminded Taku of the Jedi, then he might dismiss what he just said to Taku.
"And if you're the fool you claim you are, then you certainly have a lot to teach me since the one who follows a fool would be even more foolish" said Reven with a smile as he tried to lighten up the mood

Takumi sat back and considered Reven words, silently he watched the grey roof of the bar. "Perhaps" he said just above his breathing, the former Jedi had much to consider he still hadn't handle the consequences of his meeting with Tyrdo, would the Jedi master report his encounter with Takumi? would the Jedi send the aptly named Jedi Shadows to bring back the former Jedi to the order? would they detain him or kill him? he hadnt digest all, and he still had to see what tha hell was going on in his heart.
"And if you're the fool you claim you are, then you certainly have a lot to teach me since the one who follows a fool would be even more foolish"
those words brought Taku back to reality and he chuckled a laughter, a fool leading a bigger fool eh? well at least that raised Takumi spirit, for now anyways.
"Well if your going to follow this fool across the galaxy, you better start practesing what I teach you if your going to be the Hero you want to be" Takumi spoke lighthearterly while extending his arm and using the force to pull all the darts handing them to the young Hapan "Well Get to it" Takumi said smiling, trying to put Reven mind at ease so he could focus on his training.
(end the thread with your next post and will work and tell me what you wanna do next through a PM)

As Taku laughed, Reven couldn't help but smile as he was pleased that Taku was now happy and focusing on the present. Becoming the hero I always wanted to be.. thought Reven as he tried to picture himself the kind of person he would be once his training was complete. When he did, he saw himself wearing black robes with some red in the tunic wielding an ignited blue lightsaber whose hilt was very similar to the one he had now with a minor difference at the bottom of the hilt. Little did the teenage hapan knew, that image would someday come true.
"Good point, the more training the better" said Reven as the darts landed in his left had. Then he would point his right hand at one of the darts and lifted it up into the air before throwing it at the dart board knowing full well that he would eventually have to take his training up a notch if he was ever going to become like his heroes.
