Sith Logs

by ZaireLee

Set in the time of the Old republic, theses are the personal logs of Sith apprentice Darth Zahra. Following her accounts of her travels through the galaxy and the troubles and people she encountered in them, they contain her quest for power and authority amongst the other Sith, and her eventualy refusal of both the light and dark side of the force to live in the shadows and scheme.

2. Sith Log: Day Four

Sith Log: Day Four Zhellday

The Jedi are idiots. During their so called 'training', Jona, another Jedi apprentice tasked with helping to teach me the ways of the Jedi, recited the Jedi code.

There is no emotion, there is is no ignorance, there is no passion, there is is no chaos, there is is no death, there is the Force.

They speak of understanding and empathy, yet without emotion, how do they expect to accomplish such a feat? A galaxy without emotion would create peace, yet, in way, it would undo it.

They claim knowledge, and shed ignorance, though they force others to stay in the realm of unknowing. On this I agree with them. Information is powerful, in the wrong hands, it can cause damage. Though they may not guard their knowledge from others purposely, they do what is right. For once.

Passion should not be disowned. Passion gives you strength. Passion for another drives you to woe them, to ensure their life. If, by chance, you should fail, however unfortunate the event, the passion that you feel from that will make you stronger in the force. Your passionate anger will drive you to avenge them. Your hate for those who harmed them, or failed to help you save them, will burn, making your attacks stronger. If they should live, you may live in fear of losing them. Anger and hate for anything will make you stronger, both in physical strength, and in your alignment with the force.

As for 'there is no chaos, there is harmony", do these people even pay attention to their surroundings?

There is death, and there is the force, not only one. If your head gets chopped off, you're dead, and the force helped whoever killed you. (If they're a Sith. Or a weakling Jedi.)

This 'code' doesn't even mention gaining strength. In all, I think the Sith code, the one I follow, is much more reliable.

Nwûl tash.
Dzwol shâsotkun.
Shâsotjontû châtsatul nu tyûk.
Tyûkjontû châtsatul nu midwan.
Midwanjontû châtsatul nu asha.
Ashajontû kotswinot itsu nuyak.
Wonoksh Qyâsik nun.

-Darth Zahra

Translation of Sith code:

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Through passion, I gain strength.

Through strength, I gain power.

Through power, I gain victory.

Through victory, my chains are broken.

The force shall free me.
