Jannma's graduating to the Zeisson Sha post ceremony.

The Clan lined up as the new Zeison Sha Warrior Jannma Bernal walked to each one, thanking them for their time and giving the ceremonial pledge to each with just a few words as she felt necessary. Until she reached Jahn who was at the end as usual.

"Oh Jahn! I will miss you already the most and cannot wait until you join me out there."

"I uh… thanks?" Jahn said with a cocked smile.

"Next year it is your turn kuya! I will work hard to learn how to best sharpen your skills." Jannma beamed while Jahn looked uncomfortable as usual in a group. "Just think, I get to be your senior this time, unlike when we worked water! Until the mentoring finishes and I break training and get assigned duties. I will wear you out so you will be the best like me!"

"Right, about that, projection much? I mean the future is in motion, we have no telling how it will play out." Jahn sighed and then did something unusual for him, not so much with her but in a crowd and locked eyes while holding her cheeks. "My memories of you are secure, safe and complete. Should more come, I will not say these will not color the future, but stand alone. What will be, will be." And he went from caring to totally serious "The moments you live in, guide the same, take each individually. Remember love, do not dwell. Remember duty, do not let it bind you in absolutes. Obey the Force, find joy and a place in it, there it will keep the dark side at bay."

"I will, and I await you in time." Jannma kissed him in front of the clan "The Force be with you."

"The Force be with you and may you become Sunshine." And Jahn put almost his entire being into his blessing which settled on her like a shield.

That provoked another kiss, a long one, declarative before the clan, Jannma marked him as her future with the kiss. Breaking it she hugged him allowing his jelly legs time to recover (she thought from the kiss and the love she flowed into him). Straightening with a wink she went to show her next trainer her diskblade, as his father's eyebrows raised high.

"She has sincere and loving feelings for you, no longer as a mentor, or someone to guard, but as a future mate." Petre sighed "You did not tell her?"

"The future spins father, and dark forces mass, what I cannot see, I will not penetrate… yet." Jahn held up a hand "I did slip her a note as vague as my vision to gird her and warn her. Because if I told her she would be at my side right now."

"You should tell her in person, upfront, it is a test of your ability to communicate."

"That serves us… in slipping away….. how?" Jahn whispered as he did as an equal to his dad. "She would join us or dog us and this forces her to look after her skills, her health, her mission, safer for me this time period. The path is clear there, there are forces watching the movements of populace. They are looking for a Jedi's child! That means they search for me! Raisson's note proves it." Jahn took a deep breath "Reaching the smugglers unannounced is the prime goal."

"The blessing, you bestowed, the Force will sustain it?"

"It …. Seems like it would remain in her memory, I hope it lights her spirit when darkness calls. Sometimes that is the best thing about a memory, the warmth it gives us when we are cold within." And the teacher and adept made their way home.

Jannma, hours away and still excited by her promotion did one more check of her gear at the consolidation point.

"AHHTAY!" Her brother Darrin called to wave her on for boarding just as she finished her check and she found a note in her pocket. She slowly walked up the ramp, boarding the Phoenix Hawk that would take her to Ablerin where she would begin her destiny.

Asawa Ko, I shall not arrive to your destination on the same route… something is wrong … I will send word when I can.

Yours forever in the Force

It was Jahn's last day before leaving, he had one more preparation before he slipped away….

He made his way to the cave he and his father were preparing, pushing a repulsor lift full of salvaged durasteel. When he reached the cave he looked it over in the Force, where would these beams and panels do the most good

So he made his way to the most Senior Zeison Sha mentor.

"Sir Vasco?" Jahn greeted the man with a bow.

"Sir Jahn, your presence honors me." The aging man greeted formally.

"Sir Vasco, I am not.." and Vasco waved him silent.

"Worthy? Skilled? Ready? Nonsense! Your presence proves otherwise! Others with talent wish that designation, those without wisdom. When talent and wisdom comes together, the honorary applies." Vasco smiled and bowed to Jahn's discomfort.

"Well, Sir," he gulped and regained his composure "I have had a vision." And Vasco waited patiently "I foresee the Empire developing a weapon, an Armageddonal Act Weapon, a world obliterator." He looked at Vasco expectantly "What will be will be, but I have a proposed protection." Which raised the eyebrows of the elder when the holo plans activated in his hand. "Simply put we disassemble the original landing craft of the colony, the one we use as a museum, and use the cryo pods in it in this" he produced a datapad "cave. Pack it in, store food, and reinforce it in the ways this holo shows and this community may survive unnoticed once again."

"You are thinking, cloaked in the very hardest rock on the planet, our settlement becomes an asteroid should the planet be destroyed?"

"Survive, adapt and overcome, that is the Zeison Sha way."

"Ok, it will be done, for I suspect you are leaving soon." Which Jahn was almost surprised but smiled.

"I knew you and my initiates could get it done, I had planned on doing it myself. Indeed the cave in question is quite ready, all that lacks is finishing up. I pray it is not needed but, it is better safe than sorry."

"I had already started on the disassembly anyway. We will do what we can and Force be willing, we will be ready to continue our tradition." Vasco hugged Jahn "I am pleased by your conscientiousness and foresight. It does you service, ensure that you do not fall into dark feelings should the worst happen because one cannot do it all. Remember that above all." Vasco smiled "You and this incredible generation are our gift to the Force, I am honored to be of service."

"I will keep your lessons and memory in my heart." Jahn declared, with that the conversation ended and Jahn left to continue his packing to leave, probably forever.

Notes, I took and basically modified some Tagalog terms to fit an isolated founders language. Gender terms are not differentiated too much. Asawa = spouse ko= my

Kuya= brother Ate =sister but drawing it out in a kooyaah or ahhtay is a greeting, like hey bro! in mixed company kuya seems to work and sometimes I screwed with spelling etc. Just adding a bit of texture. Mgabata = mga bata= children.

I have asked permission to use the "landscape" and some Characters from Mechalich, I have received approval. I hope I can make it at least as good as a Thieves world Borrow. I used few Canon personalities so far, basically just two Maz Kanata and Zuvio. Check out the Tales from the Kalat Arm and The People's Armor here, they are quite awesome.

And lastly, since I did think Jedi were a bit stuck up, I believe the term is hidebound, rigid, unable to understand their own prophesy (This is what I am driving the story at, those that bring balance to the Force). I chose this Kalat Arm and Zeison Sha backstory for the character. It appealed to me, added conflict. I hope to make it a long long way bringing balance and up to date all the way to Rey-Finn and Kylo Ren. (except in my vision, those will be from different origins, hey, if Disney can scrap canon…which oddly is the metaphor of Jakku.)
