Jego's training

[Lu Kane]

*Jego Rak'Ven walks into the training room he was told about. Wearing his blood red robes and a black leather vest underneath he sits down in the middle of the room as he begins to meditate, awaiting his new master*

[Master Bondora]

The twi'lek Jedi Master Annool Bondora slowly walked inside the trainning chamber. "Greetings, Padawan Rak'Ven. I will be your mentor and your master 'till you achieve the rank of Jedi Knight. Now, you must recite the Jedi Code one verse at a time and I will tell you what they truly mean."

"There is no emotion; there is peace"

"There is no emotion; there is peace"

"One of the few things that all intelligent species in the galaxy share is the ability to have feelings. We are creatures of emotion, and to deny those is profoundly unhealthy. But one can feel anger, for example, without being controlled by it. One can grieve without being crippled by grief. The peace of the Force is the foundation upon which the structures of our feelings are built. Now if you would be so kind to continue..."

"There is no ignorance; there is knowledge"

[Master Bondora]

kressh said:

"There is no ignorance; there is knowledge"

"Chance." The Twi'lek said, "favors the prepared mind. Certainly the jedi are among the most prepared in the galaxy as far as that went. In order to become a Jedi Knight you will need to take advantage of the incredible wealth of wisdom and lore available in the Temple's libraries and data banks. The more you learn, the more you want to know. Knowledge is addictive in its own way as glitterstim."

"I'll take that to heart.
There is no passion; there is serenity

[Master Bondora]

kressh said:

"I'll take that to heart.
There is no passion; there is serenity

"Passion, in this context, meant obesession, compulsion, an overweening fixation on something or someone. And serenity is not merely a synonym for peace; rather, it was the state of tranquility that could be reached when one was able to let go of such fixations, when one could be at peace with one's emotions and had replaced ignorance with knowledge."

[Lu Kane]

"There is no death; there is the Force"

[Master Bondora]

"Only when you will have truly internalized the first three maxims of the Jedi Code will you be able to fully understand this one. To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. When your training will be complete, you will understand that it is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."

[Lu Kane]

"Hmmm... it's the unknown we fear, I'll keep that in mind and take the code to heart, referring to it when the time arises and my faith fails me"

[Master Bondora]

"Now for the next lesson you will need to let the eddies and currents of the Force guide your movements, letting it fill the vessel that you have become. A constant current of challenge and opposition, attack and defense. Sink into the Force and do not try to maintain any control over it."

[Lu Kane]

*Jego closed his eyes, not really concentrating, but just letting all of himself flow into the Force, floating inside the endless river of energy and serenity. He let himself go, letting the Force guide him and giving it full control*

[Master Bondora]

"When you are one with the Force." He said. "you are as nothing. A calm in the storm, a pivot to the lever. Chaos may rage around you, yet you are still."

[Lu Kane]

*Jego just nods slightly, for he was so engrossed in the Force, taking in his surroundings with a single once over with the Force, his eyes still closed. He found his center and focused himself outward, feeling a tingling sense around him, he lifted up his arms wide open, his palms up, the Force swirled around him like a slight breeze, ruffling his hair and swaying his blood red robes*
