Title: N/A.

These past weeks have been busy indeed. I have been travelling between the Outer Rim Territories, former Silver Space, Coruscant and Midvinter in order to delegate between my duties within the New Jedi Order and my development as a Jedi Knight.

While there is much to cover, I will say that I am relieved and pleased to see Ariana Du Couteau and I working more closely as I had hoped for. There was a length of time there where she had invested much of her interest in classes offered to students in the Temple of Coruscant. While I applaud her enthusiasm for learning, I am glad to provide her with further field experience and my own experiences with my Jedi Path. She is gifted and bright, and I look forward to seeing how her future plays out with the New Jedi Order.

In the absence of regular mentorship duties however, and following the conclusion of the war between the Galactic Alliance and the Brotherhood of the Maw, I have invested my time into further exploring the theories and ideologies behind the Jedi, as well as the Force itself. I have returned to the path of Qigong Kesh, or as the Jedi would call this area of focus, that of a Jedi Consular.

Already I have met with and spoken to numerous gifted Jedi from different organizations and areas of the Galaxy. Among them was my old friend and trusted mentor, Tiland Kortun. Master Kortun has always been happy to provide those who reach out to him, with wisdom and experience over the many years of his life. He remains with the Rimward Trade League and the Rimward Jedi Coalition, something I am pleased to see as the Jedi Enclave of Svivren is still dear to my heart. It makes my absence easier in knowing that there are those like Tiland presiding over the students there.

Thurion Heavenshield welcomed me on Midvinter where we were able to catch up after years when we once both served the Order of the Silver Jedi. Thurion and his family have always been the closest of allies and dearest of friends to House Arenais, most especially my father who formed close bonds with Thurion and Coci.
I have always held the greatest respect for their House, so when Thurion greeted me as a father would their Son, I was somewhat taken back. Not because his support and friendship was unexpected but rather the nature of his compassion and generosity towards me. Thurion was the Grandmaster of the Silver Jedi, and King of Midvinter; There has always been a sense of formality between myself and other Jedi, especially those so much wiser than I.
Most significant yet, Thurion agreed to teach me all that he knows in the ways of the Force. We spoke of my concerns for the future of Force Users, as well as the intricacies of the Jedi Order. He could tell that there was something I wished to ask of him, so I told him that I wished to learn more. To improve that which I already possess and build upon my practice and knowledge. One does not simply stop learning following the Knighting ceremony, and this is what I asked of Thurion. To help me in my search for wisdom, that I might be able to better understand and interpret the will of the Force.

Jedi Seers, Farseekers and Sage's of the past have held a deep connection to the Force in their ability to experience visions and interpret their meanings. Some of the wisest Jedi known to history have fallen under these roles and now I seek to follow in their footsteps.
