Ramblings: The Diary of Jorya Lank

Entry 4

Dear Diary,

I have been on Boz Pity for nearly a week now, and to be quite honest I'm already eager to leave this place. It's a dry desolate planet covered with many strange rocks that are supposedly the graves of some large extinct species. Which is why Boz Pity is called the graveyard planet, oh joy!

The one good thing is that I've reunited with Master Ellia. I briefly told her about my "fun" in the crèche before we had to get down to work. We've been busy patrolling the Separatist fortress as we prepare for the upcoming battle. Besides myself and Master Ellia, there are several other Jedi including five Council members, and thousands of clonetroopers.

There is also a Republic blockade above the planet, stopping then from shipping and goods or battle droids. The Separatists will eventually be forced to fight us; the only thing is that none of us know exactly when that will be. I must be ready at any moment for if I am caught off guard then it could very well be my last one.

There is one other reason to be concerned. There are reports that General Grievous and Count Dooku are here. Both are incredibly dangerous and have taken the lives of several Jedi in this war. People say that General Grievous is a machine with one goal: to rid the world of Jedi. This is kind of ironic if you think about because he serves Count Dooku; who was once a Jedi.

I don't understand how Count Dooku could totally turn his back on the Jedi and fall to the Dark Side. I was told that he was once a brilliant Jedi Master, on the Council even before he left. It shows how all of us can fall unless we listen to the Code. If only it wasn't so hard to follow at times.

My Mater is calling me now, so I must conclude this now. I hope I will return to write more later.
