Author's Notes: Greetings! I am LoneWolf, Human Insanity Relations, how might I entertain you?
What follows is the journals of my favorite Jedi Master, Shaak Ti, told during the glory age of the Old Republic, before the Blockade of Naboo. There's not a lot known about her. Mostly bits and pieces, so a lot of it will be made up. Consider it my version of her life if you will. I intend to do my best to live up to what few details are given about Shaak Ti in the Expanded Universe.
If you don't know who I'm talking about. Shame on you! And go to the Character Databanks to find out more about her.
With that out of the way, let the story begin. They will be Journal Entries so the length and topic in each entry (chapter) will vary, of course.

Logging
in… Entry #1
Welcome Shaak Ti
Master Yoda insisted on teasing me after her
ceremony.
"Proud of her are you?" He asked
"Well of
course, Master, she is my first Padawan." I had replied.
"Tripped
on her robes on the way to kneel before me for her knighting she
might have! Be so proud then, you would not, Hmm?" He asked,
giving that mischievous little grin of his and poking at me with his
cane.
He can poke out flaws to be mindful of in such comical ways that it ensures you do not berate yourself. I remember when I was just a youngling, before even reaching the age for apprentice ship, I was so head strong, so set in my ways and knowing I was right. Master Yoda taught me how to accept that I wouldn't always have the answers, and he taught me that that wasn't a bad thing. He taught me to except my flaws and not to berate myself for having them, and he still is teaching me today.
Fe Sun asked to share one final meal with me in my quarters before she would be moving her things to her own new quarters. Even as I type in this data pad journal I sit in the room that was once hers, perched upon her bed and staring out the window over the city just the way she did so often. Part of me is reluctant to change this room back to the private meditation chamber I once used it as. There are so many memories here. After the loss of my first Padawan so shortly after her knighting ceremony I was reluctant to take a second apprentice. Depression is extremely strong in my species. Togruta are clan based people, we thrive around others, when I lost Tai-Lin I was devastated. For months I refused teaching combat of diplomatic negotiations classes. I accepted any mission that involved apprehending suspected pirates and smugglers in hopes of finding Tai-Lin's killer.
Of course, in his wisdom, Yoda saw what I could not. He knew that I needed Fe Sun even more than she needed me. I was traveling a path no Jedi is meant to travel, but when Yoda introduced me to Fe Sun, the hope in her eyes, the look of delight on her face when he told her I was considering mentoring her. I couldn't allow myself to be the cause to extinguish that hope out of her. Now she is on her way toward mastering the ways of the Force, and I couldn't be happier for her.

Author's Notes: Entry 2 will probably be up within a few hours. I hope those who read this enjoyed it, if you like Shaak Ti then stay tuned, if you like the Old Republic and tales of the old Jedi Order, stay tuned. If you like ME … Well, you probably have some emotional issues that you need to work out and I probably have some lawyer's I need to see about restraining orders.
Review. Tell me your thoughts! I'm happy to hear them.
Note: All Flames will be ignored and or extinguished by an army of Yoda's with squirt guns.
