h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Tell me youngling.
tell me of your life before you became a jedi,
your friends, family, home,
then I shall give you an example
you tell me how it makes you stronger
for it can if you make it, but its so easy so so easy to make it a weakness with the right application

My memories of home, my family and my life before the academy are all happy Master. You could not make them otherwise. There have been other darker times, I'm sure this is true for anyone. But I'm also sure only the weak willed can have their own memories turned to their disadvantage.

Perhaps you are correct,
or perhaps those happy memories can also be a weakness if you do not guard them well
you have siblings? or a sweetheart?

Siblings.

you have happy memories with these siblings dont you...
what would happen do you think
to them if there were a sith who gained this information from you
what would happen to them...
they come from a family that has produced a jedi
I know what would happen to them
your nightmares would happen to them, and then there nightmares as well just for good measure

But master you said. "No emotion, only peace. No death only the force."

yes it is for a jedi not to show there emotions, not to let them be used against them
and for those able there is no death, they become at one with the force, force spirits left to guard us, at one with the force... there is no need to fear death

my question was a tast to see how you would react,
after all you know nothing about me, I could leave here track down your siblings and do what i wished... you would be powerless... all you have is my word that I wont.
Beleve me I am not that sort of Jedi, but there are too meny who are

I take your point.

I appologise it was the wrong tact to take,
*picks up her lightsaber and sits on the sandy floor*

shwoo you are a good and able apprentice...

Thank you, it is an honour to learn from you.

I don't know much about the practices here...
so I rely on someone to tell me what is and what is not jedi like behaviour,
I only teach what I know I should,
I wont be teaching you things that i learned from mysterious and dark strangers, master Klatsim would not forgive me
after all this is a trial of sorts is it not

As much as anything is, I guess. And I'm sure Master Klatsim would think it suitable that all prospective knights know something of the ways of mysterious and dark strangers. So the universe outside the academy isn't to alien.

*grins*

what I know about mysterious dark strangers isnt for a young jedi to know, they used to take oaths about such things you know

Used to Master.

*grin turns to a laugh*

yes used to...
maybe it was better that way...
you will get me into trouble one day young man

tell you what I promice never to take you to meet any of my dark mysterious strangers... and you never tell klatsim about certen practices that I kept secrate when he interviewd me

*smile receades slightly*

If I don't know about the practises Master, then I would have nothing to tell Master Klatsim.

Pulls back hood and exposes throat.

I do not think that the way to fight the force is through violence. If I die I will only become stronger.

*rubs head*

Macha... dont take this the wrong way, but only those...
estemed enough in the ways of the force become at one with it
you have a long long way to go before you can get there I assure you
the first step may be to show you how entierly mortal you are.
your not a jedi yet youngling, but you are at the start of your path perhaps

*shwoo goes to the stream to wash his hands*
