Mikel had trained with Lady Shyahwyn in his Neophyte training as it went extremely well. Knowing he'd been down this road once, he wasn't afraid to do it again. Also he went on a mission wit her to retrieve some of his lost bank accounts. Many of them off world of course. In recent events he had spoken with Nathaniel, whom allowed him to return and become a Dark Jedi once again. Another recent event was that he met Ayumi Na'varro, who ridiculed him at first, but when they talked they found they had much in common. Both were too afraid and stubborn to admit they had feelings for one another...still they are getting more and more involved with one another. Mikel realizes that he indeed has feelings for the auburn haired woman...if only he could admit it to her.
