Maxis silently crept into the elder's hut.  He barely had to concentrate as he clouded the senses
 of the guards, making himself invisible in the hallway.  His movements became almost a blur as he
 did a series of handsprings down the hallway, remaning deathly silent.  He slipped behind the
 curtain and slid along the wall, sneaking up behind the elder and pressing the edge of the knife
 against his throat.  The elder glanced backwards, then gave a big grin.  "Amazing...." he said as
 Maxis retracted the blade and withdrew his concentration. "You've done incredibly well... I never
 knew someone could train like you have..."  Khylel silently seemed to appear in front of the two,
 "The guards didn't have a clue... Neither did I, and I thought I was the only one who could do
 that..."  
The elder walked over to a bookshelf and pulled a black sheath from the top shelf.  "Maxis, I want
 you to have this... you trully are Zel's apprentance."  Khylel nodded in agreement, and pulled the
 shield that was always strapped to his back. "Take this as well, its been passed down since
 Que'Tes.  Use it with pride, warriors have been for generations."
The elder smiled, "Remember what we've taught you Maxis."  Khylel nodded in agreement and removed
 his cloak.  He also withdrew a wrap that was the same color as the cloak and gave them to Maxis.
 "A true Acolyte's clothing."  
Maxis looked at all that he had been given, and then at his two newest friends. "Thank you."  He
 raised a hand, his arm beginning to glow a brief blue, "Life."  The elder grinned and placed his
 palm next to Maxis' "Mind." Khylel's eyes glinted a red as he placed his palm next to the other
 two, forming a triangle. "Power."  A white light filled the room as a ball of energy exploded from
 their hands. "Go with luck Maxis... you've learned all we can teach you.  Your choices are your
 own, use what we have taught you to make them..."  With that, the two men looked at each other and
 nodded, their palms glowed blue before a wave of energy moved towards Maxis. "Good luck Maxis." 
 The room was engulfed in a blue light.

When his vision had cleared, the two were gone.  He looked around the room, before he heard a voice
 in his head, Khylel's voice <We will always be with you Maxis... Our time has come, we've done
 what we were suppose to.  Good luck Maxis... all I can tell you is the road before you is going to
 be rough... May the light be with you."
 
Maxis smiled, and whispered, "Goodbye, and thank you." Before running from the hut and disappearing
 into the night sky, already his training at work...
