Journal Of Sol Karda

I’ve decided to make notes of my experiences upon visiting Viscara. I’ve been fated with many strange occurrences in my life, however these past few weeks have proven beyond fruitful in my growth. I’ve joined a group of like minded individuals ( sorta) called the circle of Viscara. They are a group of force sensitive folk, neither Jedi or Sith… I say it’s rather convenient, I stumbled upon them here, in this vast Galaxy. I don’t agree with all their philosophy, but I just can’t help but respect them. I’ve agreed to follow their code. In return I’ve been accepted and have found a place and am growing in the force. I’ll admit their ways are vastly different from my life as a smuggler, but I feel like it’s growing on me a little.

I’ve been training with Nivoe, Sandra, Rone and even had a bit of training from a fella named Solomon. I’ve had to hold back my knowledge, so I don’t give up my facade. Id rather not deal with the drama of being known as a failed Padawan learner. It’s just easier this way… It’s also ideal to enter this new world with a clean slate… Though, today I trained with a Jedi woman, her Padawan and a few others… Can’t remember their names, but I’ll figure it out. She showed us a method of pushing dark side energy from our bodies. Called it a forge. It’s more of a visualization method, it was quite interesting… Anyways, during her teaching, she asked me to think of a goal and a purpose. I found it very difficult, because then I realized I didn’t really have a goal… I was also to build these bricks of purity? Built of fond memories or thoughts… I realized, that my memories aren’t exactly positive. I realized that it may not be possible to build these bricks, however the fire she spoke about I was able to create. Or at least visualize… That fire was peace… I’ve never had that, but if I could find that peace, maybe I could build those bricks too?.. I won’t know until I try… I’m looking forward to learning so much more, but for now I’ll rest and meditate on what I’ve learned…

Damn I’m beat, I’ve been training non stop. I woke yesterday without my coffee routine and Rone was dead set on training, and I of course can’t turn down a training sesh with Rone. We started with a spar, and per usual he beats my ass with hardly any effort. But I will make note that my aim is drastically improving and I nailed him with a shot from my blaster, though I couldn’t quite make it through his armor… Regardless, id say it marks a milestone In my progress… After I parted ways, I began more endurance and strength training, figured If I swung by around a vibro axe and beat down some of them malfunctioning droids at the station would surely build some muscle on these bones and still make a bit of credits knockin out two birds with one some. My efforts are paying off, but I still have little to show for it. Ah right! Picked up a small shield as well, and I’m getting the hang of it fast.

After leaving the station I put out an ad for a good helmet and quickly recieved a reply from a a friendly woman named Triss. She offered to supply me armor and upgrades if I work for her and a guy named Gully. It works out great. Im working as a bartender at Gully’s place. I’ve worked as a bartender before, so its gonna be easy, and it’s a great way to make honest credits while holding true to vow of peace within the circle. After all, who quarrels with a bartender?.. I’m gonna leave this log here so I can prepare for further training with the circle…
