<I>Guardian Celevon stood in a dark room with a single shaft of light flowing down onto him, amidst an otherwise impenetrable darkness. </I>Darkness is infinite,<I> the Guardian thought to himself.<BR><BR>
"That is correct, young one," came a voice from the void somewhere near the Guardian. "You have reached a certain plateau in your training, a place where you may either embrace the darkness or reject it. The decision is one you should not make lightly." <BR><BR>
"I understand," said the Guardian, a bit shaken but not visibly so. <BR><BR>
The Guardian knelt down and focused on his shadow, flickering beneath him in the dim light. It seemed to be struggling though the Guardian remained unmoving. Suddenly the shadow lifted from the ground and floated before the Guardian in a liquid-like blob. As though taking a ball he threw his shadow straight up toward the source of the light. The ball of shadow ascended and, at its zenith, seemed to explode into a million shards of black. <BR><BR>
Only darkness remained. <BR><BR>
The Guardian could feel the presence of his shadow returning in the darkness and spoke out. <BR><BR>
"I am ready." <BR><BR>
"Indeed you are, Guardian Celevon." A voice rang, and for the Guardian the darkness seemed to lift and he could discern the outlines of bodies around him. As he stood one of the figures called out to him.<BR><BR>
"Light is limited." <BR><BR>
"Darkness is infinite," was the Guardian's reply. <BR><BR>
"Stand now, a Jedi Hunter," chorused the figures around the new Jedi Hunter. <BR><BR>
"ARCONA INVICTA!" <BR><BR></I>
