[He passes the shadows of dark cypress trees and walks over to a spot where a young woman is sitting, her legs crossed, not moving. Black Sky sits down next to her and begins to talk.]
Sky: Cecilia, can you feel it? Can you feel how your body becomes less and less important? Let go off it, Cilia, let te body go. It's not important.
[The young woman is CECILIA. Sky's sister-in-law and newest apprentice. She seems to be in deep trance, not realizing anything that is going on around her.]
Sky: The mind is what is important, Cilia. Before you have this connection between mind and body you have to realize that they are separate from each other. Focus on the mind, focus on the pure energy in your head. Focus. Focus.
Now imagine that all the enrgy that is inside you is drawn away from the body. Draw it out of your fingers, out of your toes, out of everywhere. Draw it into your head. Slowly, very slowly.
This will benefit you in ways you cannot imagine. In the ring and out of the ring. It will help you take your fears away, take your feelings away, take your perception of your limits away. You will be able to take more pain and not even realize it. It helped me a great deal, it took me over the edge and I didn't even realize it, it made me almost invincible.
You don't feel your body anymore. Nothing. Move your left foot.
[Cecilia tries to move her left foot, but nothing happens. Sky grows a little smile on his face.]
Good. Good. You want to feel something, but there's nothing there, there's no response. The energy is still in your head. Focus. Concentrate. Pull all the energy together to one place, one spot somewhere in your head. Can you see it? Can you see how the spot brightens up the mor you concentrate? Focus on the light, Cilia, focus on the light and keep on pulling it all together. This energy, Cilia, this energy can help you build great things, but it can also destroy in a devastating way. Be careful when you use it. The light, Cilia, the light is all the energy that is inside you, and the more you practice, the more you develop the ability to focus, the brighter the light will be. And the brighter the light is, the less you will feel.
You will be able to take more pain than you can think of.
And now... breathe. Breathe. Let the enrgy flow into your breath, down to the lungs, all the way from the head. This will cleanse your soul. It will tae you to the next level. Can you feel how everything moves from your head to your lungs? This is where the connection between mind and body will be built. Breathe.
Good. Enough for today. Come on, let's go. You will have to sleep before we go to the arena.
[Suddenly Cecilia's eyes open and she looks like she has just woken up. She just keeps on sitting on the ground for a couple of moments as Black Sky already walks away. Her eyes are still not very clear, but she soon jumps back into real life and gets up. She picks up the jacket she was sitting on and runs after Sky.]
Cecilia: This is great! I could really feel how I separated my mind from the rest of the body!
Sky: Good. You're a good student. And believe me, it will help you so much in the ring.
Cecilia: I'm gonna try it tonight, you know, against this April girl. I'm gonna inflict pain, hehe.
Sky: But listen to what I said, ok? Don't forget, if you use this energy in a wrong way it could be fatal for the one who is at the wrong end of it.
Cecilia: What do you mean?
Sky: It will give you immense powers, Cilia, too powerful for an untrained human being. Use it as a defensive weapon, never as an offensive weapon.
Cecilia: Ok.
Sky: Just believe me, please.
Cecilia: I believe you, Joaq... I mean Sky.
Sky: Let's go visit your sister in the hospital and then prepare for tonight, ok?
Cecilia: Yes. I really want to kick April's butt. She is so cocky and arrogant, she doesn't deserve to be the Champ.
Sky: True. But with this kind of weapon, Cilia, nobody will stop you.
Cecilia: I hope so. And you're fighting the Cripple tonight?
Sky: Benoit. Yes. He got involved in your debut match. I can't let that just happen without taking him TO HELL AND BACK!
Cecilia: Yeah! Kick his ass!
Sky: But he's not the only opponent I have. Shockwave.
Cecilia: Yeah, he seems to be the bigger problem. Benoit is a loser, he hasn't even won one match yet.
Sky: Don't underestimate him. You never know what people are able to do when they get cornered and don't see a way out anymore. They can unleash incredible powers. But if you can control these powers, you can use them to your advantage.
Cecilia: The meditation?
Sky: Yes, the meditation is the training process. You won't need the meditation once you get past a certain level of natural focus.
Cecilia: So, Benoit tonight? Best technical wrestler or what did he say?
Sky: Best technical wrestler. Well, I can be one of the most hardcore wrestlers if I want to, and I requested a hardcore rules match. I want to punish him. His technical skills won't help him at all. But Shockwave, he's in another league. He's more experienced, more over-all skilled, a bigger fighter. But I still think that I still have enough fire to beat him. I am far from over.
Cecilia: Good. Good. So you're gonna take the Intercontinental title and I'll take the Women's title?
Sky: I shall hope so. And for Benoit and Shockwave, I will turn their sky black.
Cecilia: Yeah, and I'll show April what Latino Spice is all about!
Sky: Cilia, we're more than prepared for them. Just don't underestimate your opponents. Ever.
Cecilia: I learnt my lesson.
[We fade out with a last shot of the most dangerous new duo this fed has experienced in a while. Black Sky and Cecilia look more than ready to have a run with the gold.]
