"what is freedom, my child?"
I remember those words clearly, and they will forever stay with me, I was but an acolyte, but I was certain I understood this question.. It must have been showing on my face, or perhaps my master could sense it, I will never truly know which one, not that it mattered in the end, her lesson would scar me nonetheless. "speak, acolyte." I remember how I felt, it was like I was falling apart, my heart began to race, my breathing hastened, I couldn't understand, I managed to swallow down my fear, as my voice began to stumble out of my mouth " F-freedom is the right to choose.. is it not?.." it must have been the wrong answer, as I felt electricity surge across my body. "Freedom does not imply the right to choose, remain on the ground." I obliged, fear overtaking me, she began to circle me. "freedom, is the lack of a guiding hand, freedom is disorder, freedom is chaos.. chaos is a tool, to burn down what is there, but it is something you should never be blinded by, you may rise." I did so, as she designed to help me up. It took me an extremely long time afterwards to truly appreciate the mark she carved into my psyche that day, but I will always appreciate it, I now see the absolute weakness of the new republic, how can they truly get anything accomplished without one unified voice to guide them? I've read the history books, when the galaxy was under the voice of the eternal, the galaxy had known nothing but prosperity, it was a golden age.. my hope is that I live to see the day when the sith empire reigns over the whole of the galaxy, and tosses away the foolish republic. - Cremek reaver
