"We should leave," Jaren said to Kalc as he sat in the ruins of the building. 

"What should I do Jaren? I wanted to know who I was for the longest time but know...I do not know what I am." He replied. "We were trained to follow out what he told us to but he never had us do what they did. He was not cruel unless you crossed him badly, he is not a monster. Yet, I have the blood of monsters in me...what do I do with that knowledge!" Kalc said his voice shook as he spoke. 

"Kal, you are not a monster. The only relationship you have to them is your blood but blood is nothing. You should know this. Your blood does not determine who you are." Replied Jaren.  

"I still feel it," Kalc said darkly. 

"Alright. Then change it, make a vaster separation. You can not change your name but you can change the only other thing they gave you. Your last name. Choose a different one, choose a last name of something you feel a connection to." Jaren replied. Kalc just nodded and stood up. He turned and walked back to the ship. Jaren just followed him in silence.

Jaren was in the gym they had in the ship with training. He was fighting a training droid when Kalc walked in. Jaren looked over and said, "That's enough for now. Stop." 

The training droid froze and turned off. Jaren walked over and asked, "Something wrong?" 

"No...but I have been thinking. A last name shows who your family is right?" Kalc said. "Since you and I grew up together and we did get our names together. That makes us similar to a  family...so can I use your name?" 

Jaren smiled and said, "Of course and we, our family. True family is not determined by blood but by the heart." 

"Are you sure you are not a jedi? You sound like one," Kalc said folding his arms. 

"I am not. I just understand things that most people do not and turn my words into poetry or riddles." Jaren replied. "Yet, if you wish I can talk like something else." 

"No. If you did that I'll worry about you and thank you." Kalc said. 

"Always and forever," Jaren replied. "So. Kalciryn Salcos. How do you like your new name?" 

"It has a nice ring to it but I may go by Kalc instead," Kalc replied. 

"To others maybe but to me, you'll forever be Kal or Kalciryn. My friend and brother," Jaren said. "Now, I have to get back to train." 

Yet before Jaren could turn on the droid again Kalc sent an attack at him with a high kick to the head. Jaren blocked it and jumped out of the way. "Fight me instead, I am far better than that pile of parts." Said Kalc replied. Jaren smiled and got into a fighting stance. Kale got into a similar one and the two began their sparing session.
