Cont.

He expressed an interest in leaving the academy to train on his own in the frozen wastes of Telos' surface. He left, for a time, and wandered the Telosian ice cap tundra and it's many caves and crevices.

As he wandered, he honed his skills with the lightsaber and soon developed his own style, the Heart of the Guardian. Using two sabers at once, he tests his opponents styles with flurries of blows, probing for weaknesses. However, during his meditations, he found his thoughts drifting. Images swirled in his mind. He saw his Master Brianna in her quarters. She was talking to someone just out of sight. She drew her saber and it's silvery light illuminated the figure before her.

The figure threw his cloak aside and drew a twin bladed lightsaber of his own. It was as red as the eye of the Hssiss. The face of the man before Brianna was that of his brother. Drake's mind reeled as his consiousness crashed back into his body. "What has happened at the Academy?! Did my brother survive Malachor!?"

When he returned, he found Master Brianna waiting for him. "My best student. I am glad you have returned safely." Drake said "What has happened in my absence?" She responded "I've taught you all that I can. But your training is far from over. There are things in this galaxy you must discover on your own. And many of them are dark in nature...." She trailed off and seemed lost in thought.

Drake asked "What is wrong Master? What has happened while I was away? I saw...a vision. I saw you and my brother. Was this part of the link you mentioned that sometimes forms between Master and pupil?" Brianna turned to Drake, her eyes worried.
