Not For Glory Bound Chronology
19 BBY - Silence & Solitude
14 BBY - Lost & Found
10 BBY - Visions & Dreams
1 BBY - A Holocron of No Account
0 ABY - Waiting & Wishing
Deep within the ruins of Jedi Enclave on Dantooine, a young woman sits cross-legged and alone in meditation. Suspended before her is a shimmering cube of golden light formed by a lattice of transparent crystal around a glowing metal core. Deep eyes of chocolate brown snap open of a sudden and the light goes out, dropping the fragile construct into the waiting palms of her pale hands. A please smile graces her lips and slender fingers gently caress the cube.
Silence's young figure in miniature beams to life above the relit holocron, a perfect likeness of the blonde teen from her tightly bound braids to the pristine white of her new borrowed tunic. Perhaps she'd change that in time, but this small triumph was enough for now. She has successfully re-imprinted her father's holocron. He was still there for her, in it's depths, but now it would serve to record her own story as well.
She touchs the new prosthesis resting at the base of her throat, and as her fingers leaves it's blue metal surface, a tiny pinprick of light blinks to life to signal it's operation. Gathering her thoughts, she begins to speak in an unnatural and droid-like voice...
"I am Silence Faidhe, of the last of the Jedi."

Ruins of the old Jedi Enclave
Dantooine, Raioballo Sector, Outer Rim
First Day, Year 17 of the New Order
My name is Silence Faidhe, of the last of the Jedi. I would say the last, but Master Jinn tells me that is not so. If he would only tell me why I must be apart from them...
At least Ra's loneliness is eased with the end of our long exile. He's back at the Rebel scoutship now, filling them in on our extensive knowledge of the local terrain. We've been stranded here for two years with only each other for company. We didn't dare approach the farming communities, not after...
Not after Mimban.
We were as surprised to encounter the scouts for the Alliance to Restore the Republic as they were to find us. It feels so right in the Force, though. With our knowledge, they'll be able to base here far more swiftly and right under the noses of the agricultural combines. And Ra and I, we'll finally be able to do something, give our parents' sacrifices meaning and raise a light against the darkness engulfing the galaxy.
I guess I've sorta answered my own question, then. This is why I can't go rocketing off to find the others. I'm needed here. For now.

PadwanKayla: Thanks! I hope you enjoy it. 
obsessedwithSW: Hopefully Ra will cooperate soon so I can finish 'Visions & Dreams'. He's been sulking, you see, and refusing to come out. Something about an embarassing arrest... 
You'll learn what happened to Nala and Vek soon enough. I will be sure to PM!

Ruins of the old Jedi Enclave
Dantooine, Raioballo Sector, Outer Rim
Entry #2, Year 17 of the New Order
Ra didn't come home last night. No one ever warned me about this... this part of being so close to another's mind and soul. I guess Father was a lot better at shielding than I ever knew, because, well... I would have remembered.
Yeah, this is all hinting around it, so I should say it straight out. You can see how red my face is. Ra had sex, and it almost felt like I was having sex, but I haven't ever, so I guess I can't be entirely sure that it'd feel like for me how Ra feels it, but I felt it. I couldn't look at him at all when he finally came back. I bet my skin was as pink as his... it felt that way.
He tried to talk to me, but... I couldn't. Not, like, in a bad way... I mean, I'm not mad at him or upset about it or anything, but he'd try to get me to look at him and he'd speak, and I'd remember and I just couldn't get any words out. I've never felt this way before, so out of control of my own body. So... on fire and like I desperately need... something. He finally gave up, muttering something about clearing a landing sight, and left.
Except now I wish he hadn't gone. I don't have anyone else to talk to. I mean, there's the Rebel scouts, but one's a Bothan and the other's... well, probably the one that Ra spent the night with. Master Jinn made me promise not to seek him in the Force, that he would come to me when he was able, and I guess this isn't important enough to break my word for, but I wish he'd appear about now. He's awefully busy for being dead.

Is this more than just awareness? Being able to sense what someone else is doing when the are apart? Or does she have a special connection to Ra? Very intrigueing update can wait for more!

VaderLVR64: Thank you! You're added to the PM list.
obsessedwithSW: Oh, yes, it's more than awareness. Ra and Silence share a Force bond. It's stronger on her part than his because she's the Force-sensative and he only has his Zeltron empathy. She could sense all his pent up passions and desires spring loose, and she's old enough to realize what he was probably doing, though young enough not to have done it yet herself. They've been stranded together with no one but each other for two years, and that dependency made the link all the stronger. Ra's been stuck with an adolescent human girl he views as his sister, so his natural Zeltron nature has been under a lot of.... stress. Except this is Silence's diary and not his. I don't think I could post his at TF.N

Ruins of the old Jedi Enclave
Underground Storage Room
Dantooine, Raioballo Sector, Outer Rim
Entry #3, Year 17 of the New Order
The imaging lens of the glowing holocron is turned towards a duracrete wall. A yellow light illuminates the wall's surface to reveal a myriad of crudely painted images and seemingly endless rows of Aurebesh text. The image stills and focuses on the outline of a Helix-class freighter. Silence's new synthetic voice is heard narrating into the vocal pickup with a sober tone.
This is the Monarch Queen. It was my home since I can't remember when. It's hard, to know it's gone forever now. This is what I did before I could make the holocron record for me, all these pictures and writing. I have to destroy them now, before the Rebels find them, because I don't want them to know... know what I am, why Ra and I chose to accept our exile on Dantooine.
So I'm recording them. When I'm done, I'll take my blaster and scorch away my scribbles. I guess that's kinda appropriate. Father said the Jedi burned their dead, and this is pretty much all I have left of my childhood are memories. Except this holocron, of course. And Father's lightsaber.
Anyway, this next picture is Nala. She was Ra's mom, and sorta my mom, too. She was a lot more beautiful than I could draw her. Ra looks like her, so I guess when I can get a holo of him in this thing, you'll just have to imagine if Ra was a girl. I miss Nala a lot. She taught me all the things Father didn't know, and I'm sure a lot of things that Father didn't want me to know, too. She's the one who convinced me I wasn't dying when I got my cycle, and showed me how to take the shots to keep from getting pregnant. She explained pregnant, too. She and Father really loved each other, though sometimes they had funny ways of showing it. Like slamming each other into bulkheads or hurling insults I got in trouble for repeating. Father always said I'd understand when I was older, but I'm older now, and I still don't.
Nala died saving Ra and me, while we were escaping Mimban. The Queen took a hull breach to the cockpit and Ra dragged me out, but when he went back for Nala, she'd sealed the bulkhead door and refused to open it. She got us into hyperspace, but when Ra finally got the door-override working, it was too late. When we came out on the other end of the jump, Ra set the remains of the sublights to overload and we jettisonned in the escape pod. We left her there to become one with the stars she loved.
I... I think I need to take a break now. I hate how emotionless my prosthesis sounds.

It really sounds like Silence has been through alot.Did she loe her voice due to the fire? Where was her dad when Nala died? Questions, lots of questions. Two updates in one day, what a treat!

Fire? I fear I must have written something in a confusing manner. There hasn't been a fire. How Silence lost the ability to speak will be elaborated on, though, as will Revek Faidhe's fate. But who doesn't go through a lot when they're a refugee from genocide?
I'm glad you're enjoying the diary format. I was a bit hesitant at first. I don't want Silence to sound older than she is. I've been trying to make her waver in the maturity level of her speech since she's just 17 here.
To all: I've put the PM list in the first post of this story. If you'd like to be added or removed, just let me know!

Ruins of the old Jedi Enclave
Underground Storage Room
Dantooine, Raioballo Sector, Outer Rim
Entry #3 (part 2), Year 17 of the New Order
[Focus: The tear-stained face of a blonde teenaged girl]
I feel better now. This next part is really hard too, though, so I guess you'll have to bear with me if I gotta cut out again. I'm not doing such a good job with the serenity clause of the Code.
[Focus: A blur of motion. Then the image stills on a third child-like painting of a man with long blond braids]
This is my father. His name was once Camren Fuhl, and he was a Jedi Knight. He gave up his name to hide himself and me, and called himself Revek Faidhe. He gave up a lot, but he found a lot, too. I'll never know who my birth-parents were, but he'll always be my father.
Sometimes it feels like he's still with me, just beyond my senses. I look into the otherworld, the mists of the Force, to try to see him, to speak to him, but it's like I've tossed a stone into a pond. The ripples wash him away. Master Jinn says that I must learn patience, rather than rushing about like a Gungan with his tongue on fire.
I'm avoiding what I set out to say. Even after two years, though, the words still don't come easy. The nightmares make their rounds with far more ease and I wake screaming soundlessly in Ra's arms. Less nights now than at first, but the visions of menacing black and burning red still haunt me.
My father died like the Jedi Knight he was, bravely and selflessly, and unfortunately like so many before him, on the blood-red lightsaber of Darth Vader.
And it was all my fault.
