The world changes once more

One thing you can always count on is change.  Things always change, no matter how much you think they never will.

My padawan Dass is coming along nicely.  He’s had a few run ins with Sith, and had some issues on Onderon- apparently those Jedi are strangely susceptible to Sith mind control- but his studies are progressing.  He has a wonderful grasp on his lessons, and I love discussing each of our topics with him.  He’s become a fixture in my routine that I will miss when he is knighted. 

There are other things that have been happening.  Ruusan hosted their first lightsaber tournament, which meant an influx of new people, and a few Jedi returned home from various missions to take part and watch.  It was nice to see old familiar faces again. 

Speaking of old familiar faces… the Order has sadly lost one of our own.  Not to join the Force just yet, thankfully, but to follow another path.  My beloved, Zack Vel, has left the Council and the Order, as his path in the Force is taking him elsewhere.  It is a great loss to the order, but I am looking forward to getting him working on the farmland that we had acquired as a place to spend our retirement.  His honey-do list is about a mile long right now, so I think his retirement from the order will not leave him with unproductiveness. 

I do miss seeing him, I admit, and I will probably be travelling more so that our paths may cross more often.  I’m sure Dass will appreciate that, seeing how much he loves to travel.  I’m so proud of Dass- he’s made it to the fourth level in his padawanship.  He needs to work on a few things, still, but he really is growing and I can see the potential in him growing.  I love how he’s so eager and willing to work, even if he does tend to spend a bit too much time with twi’lek dancing girls.  Still, I’m sure I can break him of that, or that someone can, so I don’t spend time worrying about it.

Time to end this update, I have a scheduled docking with the Amaranth to attend to.
