Location: Lower Spire, Denon
I don't even know how to start this. It's been two days since the temple, since I found this holocron.
I salvaged this old datapad, doesn't matter where. Figured it'd make sense to use this to track my progress, see how far I can go with the holocron.
I activated it again tonight. Same voice greeted me:
"Welcome, young one. If you've activated this archive, then you have already taken your first step."
Khados, that's the Jedi's name. His instructions are... hard to follow. "Sit. Breathe. Focus not on your strength, but your stillness. The Force is not muscle, it is motion. Connection. Feeling." He talks like he's teaching someone who already knows what this feels like.
I don't.
Sat in the dark for twenty minutes, trying to do what he said. To feel the Force. First five minutes I thought about my folks, whoever they are. Next ten, I just kept replaying the temple again and again in my head. Valery's words. The mosaic. That message.
Last five... something changed. Just for a second. Not inside me, but outside. It was like I could feel the city breethe.
Not literally. Didn't sense people's thoughts or hear voices or anything like that. It was... a pulse. A thrum. A rythm under the noise. Like... Denon was alive and I was noticing its heartbeat for the first time.
It's small. Barely anything. But it's something, I guess. I didn't try to move anything yet, still feels like I'd mess it up.
Khados said not to rush though. He said:
"Do not worry if you do not succeed the first time. You are not here to master the Force in a day. You are here to meet it. As it meets you"
Guess I'll meet it.
