	This could really go just about anywhere, but I'm placing it here. Should I place it in the others as well? This is a thought/feeling piece, really short. Feedback would be nice. EDIT : Okay this is no longer a vignette, or rather it won't be once I write more, I'm getting more of an idea, that's why I've changed the title and everything. I've no clue how long this will be. We'll all have to stay tuned, even me... EDIT 2 : For those popping that are unfamiliar with my work this is an Original Character project. Also this story takes place about 1100 years before TPM. The rest you'll find out as you read. Prologue: The Darkness Must Be Fought I am a Jedi, I have never been anything else, and yet with the way I feel right now I could lose all that has ever been important to me. A Jedi must know peace and yet I do not. Have I ever? I wonder… If so it must have been long ago. I am young still, not far from my days as a Padawan learner, and despite that I feel ancient. For ages it seems I have fought the Dark Side; the Force has been by my side throughout all this I know, and still I feel I am slipping into the abyss. My strength feels like it’s ebbing away to nothingness. It feels like soon I will fall and shatter into a million pieces, for I realize that I am as fragile as glass. Yet I must cling the Force, I must not allow my grip to falter, I must remain strong. Still my mind, my very soul is tormented. I am haunted by guilt and I continue to suffer, every day, every hour. Mostly I feel that I deserve the lot I have been cast. Should I be allowed to do anything but languish? I don’t know. I am so confused. I kneel in the quiet and mediate, or try to. My mind refuses to clear, and though I have always thought of myself as brave—for I have seen things, which would drive most mad—I think I almost fear the answers I might receive. I don’t want to hear, after all these years of fighting, that I have been doing things wrongly. I have battled against the Dark Side as it has tried it’s best to tempt me, to rip me from the Light. I have always felt my deeds righteous, or at least not corrupt. I desire more than anything to encourage others to remain strong in the face of evil, for I know what it is like to feel weak. The darkness itself is all around me now, sneering at me, while it patiently waits to mutilate me. In a way I feel like it already has. I feel empty, repressed, and yet I fight on, face-to-face with it as I believe I must. I do not want myself to fall, and I do not want others to fall. That is why I do what I do. I feel filthy and ignorant, nearly a lost soul. Are my feelings created by the Dark Side’s lust for corruption or are they spawned by my own wrong doings? I do not know, but I must never stop fighting or I will be utterly damned. I am a Jedi; I will always be a Jedi. No matter what transpires I will never give up the Light. -----signature----- Dolores Lennox--SMG I (The Murderer) Fics in bio (The Legend of Black Saber--Winner for Best OC Story) lordmaul13's partner in crime "I'm the man in the box"--AIC There is no peace, only emotion

	I think that could fit just about anyone at any time, Jedi or not. That was excellant! Who hasn't felt the darkness within themselves, tempting with the easy way out? Or felt like giving in, knowing that it is wrong? The one's who can fight that temptation are those who are truly strong, regardless of physical attributes. As this could fit anywhere, I see no problem with posting on other boards as well. This one has no physical time or place, just emotion. Again, great job! --later-- -----signature----- SOTH: When Worlds Collide http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=28532068&brd=10476 Chapter 17 up 10-8!! Master to Lisbev! Vader for Prez in '08!

	Thanks for the response, Darth Leia. I'm glad you liked it, though it was just a raw emotion piece, with no story. I can't believe I actually wrote a short piece, I'm more of a novel person. Knowing me, like I don't already have enough filling my plate, a larger story will come out of this. -----signature----- Dolores Lennox--SMG I (The Murderer) Fics in bio (The Legend of Black Saber--Winner for Best OC Story) lordmaul13's partner in crime "I'm the man in the box"--AIC There is no peace, only emotion

	I liked it. It seems filled with despair but also determination to go on anyway. It could go anywhere but I thought it sounded like a Jedi pondering the right/wrong of actions taken in the Clone Wars. I'd love to see more. lordmaul13 -----signature----- tatooinewizard's partner in crime I can dream now, Joey. Oh, you wouldn't believe what I can dream of now.

	Kathryn: Thanks for stopping by, my Master. I'm glad you liked it. lordmaul: I'm glad you liked it as well. I'm having a few flitterings (Is that a really word?) of more ideas, but nothing definitive. Which is actually good because I have so much to write. Book II of my trilogy, and poor Peter Lennox (of the Dark Council; Rising ) he's been in suck in the same terrible spot since December, plus I'm writing a play for a little girl named Lindsey, she's the daughter of my mother's friend. The story is Star Wars like, and if it was Star Wars I'd think about posting it on these boards, but it's not. -----signature----- Dolores Lennox--SMG I (The Murderer) Fics in bio (The Legend of Black Saber--Winner for Best OC Story) lordmaul13's partner in crime "I'm the man in the box"--AIC There is no peace, only emotion

	It seems that to be a jedi, you must always have internal battles with yourself. --------------------------------------------- WOW great stuff, short, but powerful(could fit anywhere) -----signature----- ... "Shards of Evanescence" http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/29998586/p1/?1

	ben: I had something to say to your first statement. It just slipped right out of my head. I'll edit it in if I remember what it was.

	Nice one, tw. Always nice to get insights into a Force-user's mind... and yeah, I think this would fit around the Clone Wars but it could really go anywhere.

	Glad you liked it, Nem. So why does it sound like it would fit during the Clone Wars since you're the second person to have said that? -----signature----- Dolores Lennox--SMG I (The Murderer) Fics in bio (The Legend of Black Saber--Winner for Best OC Story) lordmaul13's partner in crime "I'm the man in the box"--AIC There is no peace, only emotion

	tw: probably because it is the time where the jedi go through the most trying times as darkness prevails. -----signature----- ... "Shards of Evanescence" http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/29998586/p1/?1

	That was my thought. Darkness is falling over the galaxy and the order is disintegrating. Anakin will go bad and the Jedi purge begins. That's why I thought it sounded around the clone wars. lordmaul13 -----signature----- tatooinewizard's partner in crime I can dream now, Joey. Oh, you wouldn't believe what I can dream of now.

	[face_shocked] That was amazing! The emotion was so raw and gripping. Very powerful peice. I don't know, its just me probably, but that kinda felt like Obi-Wan's thoughts after Qui-Gon's death. You know, how he went to the Dark for a little. He's so overcome with grief he thinks about the Dark Side but doesn't do it. You know what I'm saying probably. But I agree, this could fit into anytime period. Once again, wonderful job, very powerful piece. -----signature----- Obi-Wan, Ewan Fan Club Mandalorian 6 Major TPM DF "You can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest, honestly it's the honest ones you need to watch out for because you never know when they'll do something incredibly stupid" Captain Jack Sparrow

	Padawan_Jess_Kenobi: Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I can totally understand you relating it to Obi-Wan, but it was an OC that I was writing about. I hope that doesn't detour you from reading more. I'll edit the first post to make it more clear. -----signature----- Dolores Lennox--SMG I (The Murderer) Fics in bio (The Legend of Black Saber--Winner for Best OC Story) lordmaul13's partner in crime "I'm the man in the box"--AIC There is no peace, only emotion
