Power Colors Tales

A tall beautiful blond woman in her middle years stood in her office at the top of a very tall building in the center of the University of Tali. Her big blue eyes had traces of smile lines around their outer corners from years of smiling and laughing. Her small pointed nose separated the incredible eyes from her perfectly shaped, full lipped mouth. Here too were the beginnings of smile lines, but she was not smiling now. Her face held the look of concern for the first time in many years as she stood contemplating her accomplishments and failures in building a new type of university. She had spent her entire adult life creating a place of truly open and accepting academia.Trali looked out of the window of her private office. From here she could see many of the other university buildings. Nearest was the School of Medicine. One of her greatest achievements had been getting the traditional medical professionals to accept the art of healing using the power colors as being valid and real. Now there was a whole wing dedicated to the study of medical power arts. They had been able to discover weaves to cure many of the most incurable illnesses and injuries including severe brain trauma and autism, and numerous forms of cancer..........In years to come, the lives of Lia, Seala and Torl would become entwined and would change the lives of all humanity. This is the story of how it all began.

K'Jin had been a disappointment to his parents. Both parents were Kre Masters of the Miir order, and moderately talented with the power colors. They had dreamed of having a child who would reach the upper echelons of the mastery wielding great control over the power colors. Instead they got a child who, while exceptionally talented in the martial arts and a borderline genius, had no ability at all with the power colors. The only real evidence that he was not just another villager was that he had been able to teleport from birth and he was exceptionally skilled at precognition. Neither talent, however, had anything to do with the power colors, they were simply extrasensory skills.Being the child of two masters, K'Jin lived among apprentices and masters with full access to all the training made available to them. In an attempt to fit in among them, he apprenticed himself to one of the senior master's security guards and declared for the Laar order. Rather than bringing him closer to his parents, this move created an even wider gap between them as his chosen order was the complete opposite of theirs.When the Srin Master's testing cycle came to his home planet, K'Jin was encouraged to test for the Mir mastery even though he believed he was not yet ready. He nearly made it through the testing though failing on the final test of his extrasensory skills. During the testing, however, he was noticed by the Srin Master's head of security and was asked to meet with the Srin Master himself. This started a chain of events that whisked him out of his safe, if uncomfortable life in the training centers.He soon found himself receiving a different type of training, learning to maintain a cover under duress, and to hide his extrasensory skills. After he mastered these skills, he was smuggled into the Witch Hunter's realm where he was to make his way to Educator, now known as Shame, and contact the underground cell of masters that was supposed to be there.

The third child of a poor farmer in a small village on a small unimportant world, P'Hilz was different. She could see the beautiful power colors flowing through everything and responding to everyone.As most small children do, she told others all about the wonderful things she saw, the only problem was that no one else in her small farming community could see these colors, and they quickly declared her a little off in the head. Years of teasing and torture by the popular kids in her community left her very shy and almost completely alone. She had only one friend, a girl her age who was a little slow to learn new things and a bit overweight who was teased almost as much as P'Hilz. P'Hilz though was a good student and earned high scores in all her classes and with that came the hope that she might somelunar get a scholarship to go to the city and study at one of the universities there. It was not really very likely, but it gave her hope.One lunar, she gave a speech about bullying that was ill advised, and the most popular girl in school, who coincidently was the most aggressive of P'Hilz's tormenters gathered her friends to teach P'Hilz a lesson for giving such a speech.As she was being beaten, P'Hilz unknowingly calls on the power colors to form a shield to protect her. This drew the attention of Master O'Rvl the senior master on the planet, and P'Hilz's life changed forever.

In the second book of K'Jin's mission, he adapts to his new reality.K'Jin's determination to see the end of the Witch Hunter realm is flamed by his inability to continue the mission set for him by High Councilor RinTorl. Srin Master H'Jax took him on as an apprentice when his talents with the power colors were released, but K'Jin's development has progressed so quickly that he has become the second highest ranking master on the planet.When it comes time to free Sheltered Six from the witch hunters, K'Jin is put in charge of the team that will free the southern continent while Master H'Jax takes the much larger task of freeing the northern continent. But freeing the planet and defending it when the witch hunters return to take it back leaves them seriously short of masters and desperate for aid.After it is revealed that portions of the former Frin and Tali sectors remain free of the witch hunter rule, K'Jin is sent to ask them for help. But the nearest free solar systems are those of the former Frin sector where Sawtan's rules are still embraced, and K'Jin must risk all to gain their support.
