To Wherever The Force Guides Me [Open ^^]

[Ira]

Wakanda nodded slightly, simply feeling the change of things around her. Seemed it had worked. She turned her gaze towards Cloud as he emerged and she still simply offered a smile towards him. He was just so consumed by it in his own mind, it seemed. She sighed softly and shook her head slowly.

"I can offer you the help you need of just knowing someone es there. Simply that at times es enough for people. Being there for people to lean on en their times. To encourage you to simply not surrender as et seems you have. How and why does et hold you?"

[Cloud]

"I never surrendered to it, but it grows within me to control me. It is almost complete.... and I cannot find my light within this darkness. I've done everything I can think of... good deeds.... brute force.... trust in my light to grow and many other methods that only sped up the process. However my resistance expelled a lot of it out of my body.... it was strong enough to form an embodiment of my own darkness. What am I to do?" Cloud asked. It was hard to keep his stoic composure any longer, but he managed.

He was sincere, but his dark self wanted Cloud to fall deeper and tempted him to strike out against this jedi. Cloud had enough will to ignore it. He doubted the jedi could help him but there was a small particle of hope in his heart, and it was the only thing that made him reveal himself and stay.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira just listened as Wakanda spoke. He really didn't have a lot to add. He had no problem helping someone, but he had no idea what the other was going through. However he spoke and it caused Kira's eyes to widen slightly. His darkness had been able to manifest itself. Kira paused before speaking up. He was sure their situations weren't the same, however that didn't mean he wasn't going to speak up, after all he had a chance to maybe help him.

”You'll do the only thing you can do.” he said quietly, his tone didn't say he was trying to force him to take his advice rather he could relate to what he was saying. ”You keep fighting. Even if it seems like a lost cause, because if you were to stop fighting, then it would be more then giving up. You'd be willingly to let that same darkness hurt others.” he finished looking at him. He knew himself what it was like to fight ones Darkness, his own was somewhere in the world and the thought was unnerving, but he couldn't let that keep him from trying, and it shouldn't keep Cloud from fighting either.

[Ira]

The togruta approached Cloud slowly and quietly, her blue eyes towards the ground as she thought for a moment of how to word things in this language. Jeeze, why couldn't everyone just speak Togruti or something and make her life so much easier? Because that was a stupid idea.

"He has a bit of a point. To keep fighting et es what you can do. To keep fighting et away es only temporary, this both you and I know, I am sure. But the beginning comes at do you wish to resist, to escape et, to defeat et? Or are you fine with just accepting defeat?

I assume, since we talk, you no want to accept the defeat. Ef this es case, then I have couple of things to say. Simply doing good things or attempting to force yourself to turn to the light es not the answer. Rather es state of mind. That and do you have people or person you can work with, one who can talk with you so you no have to keep everything within self. I have recently lost the one I did that with constantly. This person can make all of the difference, even ef all they do es provide nothing more than a person who listens and does nothing else."

[Cloud]

"I have noone...." Cloud stated coldly looking between the two. He regretted revealing himself now.. believing that the two wouldn't do anything to help him. They were giving information to him that he had already received. Did they not see that his darkness was as contagious as a virus? It was a physical threat rather than mental. It existed. The woman wasn't wrong however, and if she was she was at least telling the truth. She was full of light from what cloud could see.

[Ira]

Wakanda simply shook her head at Cloud's words. "This es no the truth. How do I know this? Simply look en front of you," as she said the last few words, Wakanda held her arms out to the sides as if to indicate to both herself and Kira. "You came to us for reason. I am guessing because you wanted a person? Else what would the reason be?" Still, her smile stayed in place upon her white lips.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira showed doubt at Cloud's words. He had seen people that didn't have others before, normally they didn't want to try to change their situation. Even if Cloud wouldn't admit it, he was sure if he looked deep enough he'd find a reason, he'd find a light in there somewhere. He would have voiced his concerns if Waka had not done so already. But her point remained. If he needed the help they were there. They couldn't fight Cloud's battles for him even if it was a physical threat. They may be able to help, but in the end it would matter little if they did it for him, for the darkness would still exist and it would still be waiting. He needed to find a reason to fight. Find a reason to deny the darkness what it wanted, because if he didn't even if he won, it was only a matter of time before it came back.

[Cloud]

"You are right" Cloud admitted with a nod. "I have tried to get rid of my darkness without prevail. I realize that it will always be apart of me. I just need someone to surround me in light..." Cloud added nervously. It felt weird to say those words, but was this true? Perhaps he just viewed his problem from the wrong angle.

[Ira]

Wakanda gave a nod and a soft smile still.

"Es good you see this. I no mind to spend time with you to help. But remember, et es through your will and mind that you may break away from the dark. I can be there to help, but en end, et comes down to you.

Meditashins usually help to center oneself. Perhaps you should start there. Find the reason you think you are so emerged ento the darkness. Find what et es which holds you there, makes you think to submit to et. Find that, and more steps can be taken. Things may become more clear to you."
