Its now been a few days since we got back from Rhen Var. We all had had to attend a debrief to discuss what had taken place on the planet. Although we'd managed to evacuate most of the inhabitants of the planet we had not been able to prevent the Separatists from taking the planet. As we had done our best we were told not to feel bad. The aim had been to evacuate the planet NOT stop the take over. We had achieved our goals so the council was satisfied with our performance. Anakin and I had managed to train together each day over the last few days. I am noticing more and more that we compliment each others styles and this also leads me to believe that we work better together than apart. I still do not know if I am to receive a new master or if I will go into the general pool of Padawans. I hope it is the former as I would like a new master and be able to finish my training. It is my deepest desire to become a Jedi Knight. That and to be Anakin's wife.
I must confess that it has been good to be able to see Anakin every day for the last few days and I hope to be sent on more missions with him. I couldn't bear it if I was left behind again as I would miss Anakin so much that I'm sure the council would notice that I wasn't entirely happy. No I need to be with Anakin as much as I can. Right now he's sitting beside me watching as I write this. I let him read my diary because there is no secret between us. We know each others deepest secrets and keep nothing from each other. He has shared with me his rage and pain when he lost his mother and how he slaughtered the Tuskans. I can't begin to understand how he must have felt when he lost his mother, having never known my mother as I was taken from her at a very young age. From what I was told it was at 6 months old but I will never know for sure. And I know I was born on Alderaan as I've been privy to that much information. I don't know if Farra Sti was my birth name or if those names were given to me by the Jedi after I came to the Temple. Anakin is smiling as he reads these words. Now he's suggesting we should go to Alderaan sometime and find out. Unfortunately I am forbidden to find out about my birth parents as there is too much risk of me forming an attachment with them and any siblings I may have. Anakin is now telling me that he thinks that we should be able to have attachments with family just like we should have attachments with each other if we want them.
Anyway yesterday I had to attend the mock fights the senior younglings have to show potential masters what we can do. Anakin came to support me and I could see him in the crowd. Heaven knows what Obi Wan must have thought and I didn't see him in the crowd so I suppose it didn't interest him to watch us competing with each other. I rather suspect that Anakin told him he simply wanted to watch the younglings fighting and neglected to tell him that I was participating. I don't know if he knows now or not and I don't think I'd like him to find out. Anakin is telling me that Obi Wan doesn't know about it and he doesn't intend for Obi Wan to find out. Anyway at the fight I won easily as I had begun training in the Dejem So form as that was the form Ploon used and I wished to use it as a mark of respect to him. I had originally trained in Soresu which was also Obi Wan's preferred form. So my lightsaber skills were more advanced than my opponents. At the end of each fight other Padawans were cheering when their friends won. I saw Anakin leap to his feet and punch the air when I won and when I caught his eye he winked. I winked back and he gave me a thumbs up and smiled. He's telling me he'd have liked to have blown me a kiss but didn't dare since there were lots of people around including some of the council. I can understand that. Anyway it was somewhat of a surprise that I learnt that the Masters looking for a Padawan weren't interested in me. However I've been told by the council that as I was already a Padawan that I should eventually be chosen by another Master. Anakin is confident that I will eventually be chosen. And he hopes that somehow Obi Wan might be allowed to finish my training and that we would both be his Padawans. Unfortunately Masters are only allowed one Padawan at a time so I doubt that will happen.
Back to today. I had spent a quiet morning in the archives completing some assignments for the educative side of my training but that was disrupted as other Jedi came into the archives talking excitedly. From their conversations I learnt that the Separatists had a base on Raxus Prime and that Dooku had been seen there. It seems that the Separatists were digging for something and intelligence suggested it was something called the Force Harvester. I immediately did a search for Force Harvester and learnt that it was the power source for something called the Dark Reaper. I researched the Dark Reaper and learnt that it sucked the living Force out of a certain area to power its weapons and that a former Jedi Knight called Ulic Quel Droma had managed to defeat it and knew how to withstand its effects. Unfortunately he was dead but the location of his tomb was given. I couldn't wait to tell Anakin but he already knew as Obi Wan had briefed him. Now we are all waiting for the council to decide what to do.
I need to stop writing now as Anakin is getting impatient. He's wanting to kiss me and cuddle me and maybe tickle me. I'm picking up his thoughts. Gotta go.
