I straped myself into the crash-webing that was attached to the seat and waited for the ship to land.
As we landed on Kashyyyk it was late in the night. As we regrouped with the others only thing that we could agree on was finding a place to sleep. Which took a little searching but we did find one place called the Wicked Wookie Inn.
Shortly after being shown our rooms that I hear some sneezing and very loudly after thirdy minutes, I might add.
Lucky for me I wasn't bunking with any of my fellow Jedis for the night. Althought it appeared that Erifia wanted to talk to me about something but she wouldn't just come out and say it.
As morning came and we regrouped and headed for the The Shaven Wookie Salon. As we stepped inside Anakin sneezed so loudly, I stated wondering if it was him that I had heard the night before.
The Wookie behind the counter turned toward us and started speaking quickly, pointing at Anakin, and making what looked like scissors.
I surprised him when I spoke back to him in his own language.
"Tell him if he comes at me with scissors he'll lose more than his hand," I heard Anakin tell me as the wookie continued to tell me what information he knew.
Then I heard Jinx say. "It's not always about you. He could have been pointing to me, you know."
I walked over to Anakin and slowly said to the group "He says he has no idea what we want. He knows nothing."
"Did you mention the porcupine guy?" asked Anakin.
I turned back and asked the question to the Wookie. And as luck would have it, he remembered someone coming in looking sort of like that and how he left a little animal behind that was stinking the place up..
"He said this... uh, thing came by a while ago. He left something when he left. A baby P'weck." I repeated what the Wookie had told me.
"A What?" Anakin asked looking a little lost.
Erifia spoke up "P'wecks are a green furred species with red feathers coming out of their heads. They come from the planet Telti, an ice planet."
"The Wookie says it's driving everyone crazy. It gets into everything," I added wondering what we were going to do with it.
"Let's see it," Anakin told me.
The Wookie happily handed the animal over to me, it was cute animal very small almost a baby would be my guess. As I walk back to the group with the animal cuddled in my arms the Wookie followed me and started to fluff Anakins' hair.
I walked over with it in my arms, the Wookie following. He stands next to Anakin and starts trying to fluff his hair. Anakin looked a littled annoyed by this but didn't say anything as we all stared down at the P'weck in my arms.
I don't think any of us were ready for what happened next the P'weck looked up at Anakin and said "Momma?"
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was surprised by this and as I looked at the faces of the other I knew that it didn't just take me by surprise but all of us.
"I'm going to ignore that," Anakin muttered. "I guess we're off to Telti. I hope you guys packed your ski gear."
"Momma?" Wings start flapping as it tryed to struggling out of my arms and into Anakins' arms!
As we disbanded and went to our ships I heard Jinx say "Awe, isn't that cute! It's wants it's mommy!"
Anakin stated "I heard that!" as a dirty look crossed his face.

Finding Kriss part 2 (I miss my friend!)
starts here on this blog, and then
And to read a different point of view go here
I looked at Erifia and wondered how she would be able to hold her tongue as I talked to this person but somehow I hope that she'd be able to manage.
I quickly walked up to this person "Excuse me!" I quickly started to state as this person turned towards me. It seen to me that everything started to slow down for no reason, then I called to Erifia 'Somethings not right here!' as I gathered my wits, and the force around me like a blanket.
Whoever was asking Becca questions, turn towards the sound of my voice but when she saw us comming towards her. She turned and started running away quickly. I felt like I was sitting on the sidelines watching this person fleeing from us without reason.
I could feel someone hand on my elbow "Don't you dare pass out on me now!" Erifia stated as her eyes sweeped the area. I wasn't sure what she was looking for, maybe it's it was the way she was trained I told myself as I slowly started to turn toward her ship and got my first good look at Becca.
She looks scared I told myself as I slowly scanned the ship with my eyes looking for any notice able changes to the outside of the ship. Nothing out of place there, I noted to myself as Erifia helped Becca to her feet.
"We should get going to Kashyyyk. Force knows what's in store for us there." Erifia quickly stated this as a reminder to me that we should get out of here as so as possible.
We entered the ship but before we got much futher up the loading ramp, I turned to Erifia and said "If you have medical area on this ship. If it's ok with you, I'd like to use to."
*hours later*
I ran several blood test as I could and sat back and waited for the results.
"I don't know, she's been in there all this time and hasn't said two words." loudly cryed Becca.
"She'll come back out when she has her answers, she usually does." frankly stated Erifia.
*half hour later*
Tears fill my eyes as I read the results.
"Barriss!" I hear Erifia calling me from the nearest speaker box.
I pressed a side button "Yes, Erifia. What is it?" I asked wondering what could be wrong.
"We'll be landing on Kashyyyk in a few minutes." she states and then silence fills the room.

Finding Kriss The Back Story Part 1
Starts here on Erifia's blog, and starts here on this blog, and then
continues here on Skywalker's blog.
"Where does this clue lead us?" I asked and started think over where this new information would lead us to.
"Not a lot to go on," Erifia tossed in as her eyes scanned the area.
I looked over at Erifia wondering if she had noticed something and wasn't telling us. Or just being Erifia looking out for the group even when we're in a safe location.
Anakin smiled and stated. "Think about it. Where would a Wookie get a haircut? The Shaven Wookie Salon on Kashyyyk!"
How he ever figured that out, I'll never know.
Looking at Erifia told me that she was even impressed by Anakin's knowledge.
As we disband and went to our ships, I wondered why Erifia was being silent. When we got closer to her ship, we both noticed that we weren't alone anymore.
"Where are Jedis Erifia Apoc, and Barriss Offee" asked very upset voice.
"I don't know...they left and I stayed with the ship." answered Becca.
Erifia grapped for her lightsabers and I ran to get between her and whoever was talking to Becca.
'I know that voice,' I told her through the force. 'It won't be wise to rush up to her with our lightsabers activated. Unless you really want to be in front of the council explaining why, for I do not want that and neither should you. Just let me do the talking and follow my lead.' I begged her through the force.
Sadly I could see Erifia refusing my advise but she took it almost as if she knew that there was more there then just what we could see or feel through the force. 'I won't... But be prepared, I'm ready for a fight,' she told me, using the same mind tap I was using.
I was shooked by her words and by the weight they carried with them.
As we approached the ship in silence, we could see a lone figure standing over Becca.
I could feel the anger and hate roll of Erifia 'I don't like the way this looks...not at all!'
'Who is this woman and why is she yelling at Becca?' as she angryly yelled at me through the force.
I both stopped a few yards from the ship and stopped Erifia with a wave of my arm. Before I allowed myself to go to the ship, I went deeply into the force to see if Becca was hurt and maybe get an idea of who this person is and how she knows of us. As my mind linked with Becca, I found her to be frighten by this person but not hurt. As for the other woman, I realized right away that she was another Jedi, but I couldn't place a name with the force signuature that I felt.
'Calm yourself Erifia, Becca's not hurt just upset. I've seen and heard this woman back at the temple, many of times and so have you.' I calmly called back hoping she'd cool off a little before we got any closer to them.
A look of wonder crossed Erifia's face as she quietly asked "You mean to tell me she's another Jedi Knight?"
"Yes, can't you feel her force signuature?" I quietly asked back.
"Yes, but I thought she was a dark Jedi, or worse a Sith Lord." A look of hate crossed Erifia face as she said that.

Troubled Waters
I walked up the council chambers and saw a note that stated that all meetings with the council have been canceled and will resume within one weeks time.
As I turned and walked away I came face to face with Erifia "If you have a meeting with the council, it's been canceled" I lightly stated.
She looked shocked by the news and was about to walk away when I asked her "How about we go for a walk, just the two of us?"
We walked a great distance before she realized where we where heading "Please, don't make me go," Erifia quickly said to me. We were near the base of sea overhang, Erifia looked up, and turned away quickly, trying to walk past me.
"But you have to" as I blocked Erifia way. Wondering if she still was afraid of the one place that she should feel most at peace.
Erifia turned and looked up the hill. She began to shake and then she took a very shaky step forwards.
I place my hand on Erifia shoulder and calmly say "I'm here with you now, just like I was that day. You must face it now, or it will destroy you."
"I know...." Erifia began to walk up the hill, each step I noticed was becoming more and more painful for her to take. "Barriss," Eriria called out.
Noticing that Erifia was shaking like a leaf, I went to her and slowly and quietly repeatedly said "It's ok. I'm here with you." As I used the force to calm the strom that started to grow in her mind before she continued on up the hill.
I followed Erifia to the top and stood back and watched as she ran her fingers along the lettering on the tombstone, Jedi Master Gerith Gwin, Friend, Master and Father. I wondered if she even knew who had ordered and placed the tombstone there in for her. My thoughts stopped as I hear her start cry and say, "Barriss...... Its all my fault......"
I walked up to Erifia and placed my right hand on Erifia's shoulder and slowly without crying said "No Erifia, it's not your fault. Each life and each death is all part of the force." as my tears slowly start to fall.
"I was too weak," Erifia cried, "I couldn't fight off the infection...... I didn't know...... He was my friend, he was my master, and he was the only family I ever had......."
"You were not weak, Erifia." I state as I slowly wipe away my tears. "At the time, you were not trained as a healer." I hugged Erifia and quietly said "I've always thought of you as a sister."
"But.... But...." She began to sob on my shoulder, "But my body gave up, its all my fault, I killed my master...." As she fell to her knees and buried her face in her hands.
"Oh, Erifia!" I sadly state as I sit down next to her. "Your body may have given up but you are not at fault for his death nor did you kill him."
"But, he could have blocked," Erifia had relapsed, "I threw it at Aayla.... I did, she was there... He...He... Its not my fault..... Its Aayla's fault..... She made me sick... She cut me... I didn't see him.... I saw her... And...." Erifia began to hyperventilate, "I... It wasn't my fault.... I... My... She was there. Barriss, you believe me, I threw it at Aayla...... You believe me right?"
Sensing the deep well of despair that Erifia was in, I hugged her. "Yes, Erifia I do believe you." as I started to slowly rubbing her back.
"You believe me?" Erifia questionly asked of me, "Actually believe me?"
I look directly into her eyes and calmly say "Yes, Erifia I do believe you."
"But I did do it... didn't I?" Erifia asked, "I did kill him. He has to hate me too.."
I thought over her words letting her to get as much of her chest as possible. "No, Erifia you didn't kill him." I calmly state "He could never hate you, he was you master."
"But I threw my saber, and even if I thought it was Aayla, it hit him...." Erifia said then asked "Accident?"
"Yes, Erifia it was accident." I calmly stated. I hoped that she come to terms with the past that she could not change. "But what happened here was more then just accident it was the will of the force."
"Yes..." Erifia said, "I think it was... Thank you, so much. You've always been there for me, and it must seem like I hate you sometimes, I'm sorry, you're my closest friend."
"Your welcome Erifia. It's alright, I let your hate roll of my back because I knew that you needed me." I said calmly and wondered how many countless times I had let her hate just roll like water off my back.
"I do care for you, and I care for you a lot. I'm sorry, I understand I am pretty impossible to deal with," Erifia smiled, it was the first time I've seen her smile in a long time, "Do you think he would be proud of me?"
"And I care for you. There's no need to be sorry for grief, it's natural." I smile back, look directly into her eyes "Yes, I do feel that he'd be very proud of you."
I stood back and watched as Erifia took out two lightsaber and place them on top of the her masters tombstone, "I hope these two will make up for your one," Erifia said speaking to the stone as if he was really there with us, "Its saved me a lot.. And" I watched as the tears gently dropped from her eyes, "Thanks. " as she looked at me, "I think I'm ready to go."
I gentely take Erifia right hand and give it a gentle squeeze "Yes, let's go"
"Thanks again, I owe you much. I'll make up for it one day, I promise... I owe you my life," Erifia said with a smiled, and hugged me, "I'll give you a ride back to the temple?" she asked.
I hugged her back and said warmly "Your welcome Erifia. I know you will." Feeling a pull in force "No, not the temple. I'm needed else where."
"Name it, I can take you anywhere as long as its not past Langoria," Erifia said with a smile, "And a lot quicker than you could imagine."
A worried look crosses my face "I'm need to get to a pub called Moe's on Tatoonie." I state as my voice breaks. "Please do so, I don't think there's much time."
I watched as her ship appeared in front of us, "I can have you there in an hour, maybe forty five minutes." The door opened, on the old bronze and rusty looking ship, "It's actually like brand new, it was built to look old." she entered, waiting for me before she leapt to the steering wheel.
"Ok, lets go." I state as I follow Erifia inside and started to center myself with the force. Hoping that Erifia didn't see how worried I was.
Erifia sat down at the wheel, and shot through the atmosphere, at a great speed, "Tatooine," she told the computer, "Computed," it responded. "Barriss, to ease your nerve, have a seat and press the green button."
I followed Erifia instructions and sat down in the chair that she was pointing at. "Are you sure that you want me to push the green button?" I asked not sure why she'd want me to do so.
Erifia laughed, and said, "Yes, trust me, push the green button." then she turned and spoke in the com link, "Becca, make sure my tauntaun is okay, and buckle up."
"Ok!" I said as I nodded and gently pressed the green button.
The ship kicked in all of its thrusters, and we traveled past hyperspace, stars and meteors looked like lines, and worlds flew by so quickly. "We're going to be there a lot faster than I imagined. I always hit the red button before," Erifia laughed a little and and for a little bit did lighten the mood.
I quickly glanced worriedly at Erifia and wondered what she meant by that. "Are you sure it was a good idea to press the green button?" Being very mindful of the present.
"I'm never sure it's a good idea to do anything," Erifia responded, as the slip slowed down, and began to shake violently, "See?" She said, "We're here already. Mos Eisley?" I looked at Tatooine, wondering why there was such a pull for me to come to this place.
"Somehow I know that to be true, but not about you." I state thinking about all the times others have said the same thing to me. I could feel the worry and fear come crashing towards me as we make our way desend on Tatooine.
Waves of worry and fear crashing down all around me.. After pinpointing who, I called out with the force, calm yourself Anakin...help is coming. I could barely hear Erifia talking but nodded as I slowly climped out of the chair and followed her out the ship.
"Barriss, come to, who is here, who needs help?" Erifia asked me directly.
"Erifia, it's Anakin who needs help. But his thoughs are confusing, something about Kriss and missing. I'm not sure." I slowly stated as I slowly tried to center myself again.
I troubled thoughts left me feeling disconnected and far away for others. I let Erifia take the lead as I followed closely behind her. My thoughts cleared as I stood face to face with Anakin Skywalker.
"Anakin, what's wrong?" I asked and waited for his reply.
See Erifia's blog for her point of view.
See Anakin's blog for his point of view.
Thanks Erifia for everything!

"Erifia, it's Anakin who needs help. But his thoughs are confusing, something about Kriss and missing. I'm not sure." I slowly stated as I slowly tried to center myself again.
I troubled thoughts left me feeling disconnected and far away for others. I let Erifia take the lead as I followed closely behind her. My thoughts cleared as I stood face to face with Anakin Skywalker.
"Anakin, what's wrong?" I asked and waited for his reply.
See Erifia's blog for her point of view.
See Anakin's blog for his point of view.
Thanks Erifia for everything!

Memory (part 1)
I was going throught some old data files, when I found a data file that brought a smile to my face.
It was about a year and half after Anakin join the order, we ( Erifia, Kriss, Anakin, Aayla, and myself) had found ourselves placed in a small clan. As to why, I still don't fully understand but I don't question the will or wisdom of the council.
If I remember correctly it was the first class as a group that we all were in the same room for the first time. That's when fighting started between Erifia and Aayla. I don't really remember why but I think it had something do with Erifia third Lekku.
I don't remember a think a day since then that Erifia and Aayla could be seen or heard fighting over something or other.
Then there was quiet Kriss, and and for some reason just knew how to sit back watch all of this and not step in and try to stop them from hurting each other.
Plus there was Anakin, who'd try just about everything he knew to make Erifia and Aayla stop fighting. When that didn't work he start yelling in a strange language. I think that only stopped them once. At one time he said me that the language was Huttese.
It was durring Erifia and Aayla's that Master Windu, came running in to the room and firmly yelled "Younglings! Stop this fighting right now!"
The room became dead quite as Master Windu looked at all of us and calmly said "Be glade that I'm not your teacher. But as of this moment, you are all required to make a complete list of what you think is involved in Jedi training."
Here's what we turned in as a group!
WISDOM & Inner peace
Teaching the students to meditate, use the force to calm themselve, not use the dark side, ect. Teahing them to become good, wise, natural leaders, above all else.
FORCE POWERS
Telekenisis, telepathy, mind tricks, ect. All the cool tricks that Jedi can use with the Force, plus teaching them about it's nature, so that they can continue to improvise and use the Force in new and original ways.
LIGHTSABER COMBAT
This is obviously important, as a Jedi is expected to be ready for a fight at a moment's notice, with his lightsaber always slung at his side.
HAND TO HAND/MARTIAL ARTS FIGHTING
engaging in hand to hand combat with or without his/her light saber
LINGUISTICS
A Jedi should be versed in several languages, if he is to operate efficiently as a peacekeepr and a mediator throughout the galaxy.
MECHANICAL SKILLS
It seems to me that Jedi always seem to know their way around an engine room. This makes sense, since they have to do a lot of space travel. Plus they have to build their own lightsabers.
WISDOM
Teaching the students to meditate, use the force to calm themselve, not use the dark side, ect. Teahing them to become good, wise, natural leaders, above all else.
FORCE POWERS
Telekenisis, telepathy, mind tricks, ect. Al the cool tricks that Jedi can use with the Force, plus teaching them about it's nature, so that they can continue to improvise and use the Force in new and original ways.
OK, but at the end of their training they must pass the Trials. These are four tests that force them to show what they have learned. There is the Trial of Skill, Trial of Flesh, Trial of Courage, and Trial of the Spirit.
A Jedis Training revolves around one thing and only one thing, the Will of the Force.
All these other things that have been stated are the Sentients admonishments to what they believe a Jedi should be. Each jedi is different, some cannot express certain abilities like Telekinesis, (AKA Corran Horn), so making it a requirment of his/her training would be not only cruel, but an undue punishment.
These things were done for thousands of years and the Jedi did not grow, nor did the Jedi learn. So perhpas, instead of training the Jedi, it made them stagnate into a complacent Order. Their training served them as a whole to handicap them.
Another thing they study is the Jedi Code.
I'm pretty sure that it involves carrying your master on your back through a jungle.
But that may be just for advanced students. Or for really small masters
I pity the man who learns from a Hutt Jedi then
If I remember correctly, Anakin wrote these last two down.
It took us about two weeks nonstop to write this list (while Erifia and Aayla fighting over the wording towards the end). Then nearly another week for any one of us to become friends or much less stand in the same room for an hour.

I miss you!
I'm sorry but in the last few months I've noticed alot of bloggers have left their blogs and for whatever their reasons may be. I just wanted to let them to know that I (along with many others) miss them.
Slipped Away By Avril Lavigne
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh
Nah nah la la la nah nah
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
Oooooh
I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh
By the way I'm back!

Song!? Visions!?
I finished all of the paper work, then I turned on my IPOD and slowly walked over to a small book shelf and looked for a book to read.
I selected a very old leather bound edition to read and walked to my easy chair.
It wasn't long before a song (Reel - Never Had To Knock On Wood) came on my IPOD that I started to have visions that really hard understand why this song was causing these visions. (Here let me show you, a few of the visions.)
Have you ever been close to tragedy, Or been close to folks who have.
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful, So heavy you collapse.
I've never had to knock on wood, But I know someone who has.
Which makes me wonder if I could.
It makes me wonder if, I've never had to knock on wood.
And I'm glad I haven't yet, Because I'm sure it isn't good, that's the impression that I get.
Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high, You need a strength most don't possess.
Or has it ever come down to do or die, You've got to rise above the rest.
I've never had to knock on wood, But I know someone who has.
Which makes me wonder if I could.

It makes me wonder if, I've never had to knock on wood, And I'm glad I haven't yet, Because I'm sure it isn't good.
That's the impression that I get.
I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested.
I'd like to think that if I was, I would pass.
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go, I might be a cowards,
I'm afraid of what I might find out.
