The Jedi stands in his usual courtyard, which some joker had put in red spray paint "Alpha's. Everyone else, GO AWAY." He had left it there because it amused him, but he could always blow the wall away, and then rebuild it to get the paint off...

Alpha slowly moves through one of his training katas, the twin blades on each arm--on on top, one on bottom of the arms--glinting in the morning sun. He moved the mist that hung around his knees with every movement, giving his presence a surreal atmosphere, matched by the fluid movements that went against his young age. At 14 he was one of the youngest Knights lurking around the Jedi, and had been fighting continuously for at least 3 years now, both for the GJO and for TSE or TSC.

Finishing his thoughts--and his kata--with one final stab down, into the mists, the Jedi decides to try something new. Getting up, the mist still swirling where his hand blades had been a moment before, Alpha focuses through four of the eight gems embedded in his spine--light blue in color.

A hum grows steadily in volume, and he first sheathes the blades on his left arm, and then holds it out, palm facing outward, aimed at a small rock. Pulling in the Force around him, he forms a bolt of concussion, which is in turn magnified by his stones. The bolt hangs just beneath the skin of his palm, until released. An invisible bolt of concussion, seen only by the ripples of distortion that follow in the wake of the bolt, streaks out from Alpha's hand, impacting the rock, and throwing it back, breaking it into three pieces. All the pieces slam into the wall with the spray paint, the pieces embedding themselves deep into it.

The stones were new augmentations he gave himself when he was in Dragon's Roost the last time, just after his fight with Tempist that cost him an eye. They were found on two planets that orbited around each other, one called simply the Dominions, the other called Kirin Taq. They were called Spirit-Stones, and had many properties. The blue ones were force amplifiers, while the other four--black ones--were stones that increased his natural healing abilities. They should come in handy one of these days...

Alpha then clashed his left arm against his right, and the blades that he had earlier sheathed on his left suddenly sprang open. Not missing a beat, the Jedi returned to his katas, oblivious to anyone that cared to watch...
