Jial ignored the missions that were presented to him by The System. Instead, he was immersed in feelings that were going through him. Jial could feel a connection with not just everyone in the room or even everyone in Wyne but with the Wyne itself. He could feel a connection with each building, the drinks at the bar, and even the droids all around him.
'This is what a strong connection with The Force is like? It's like I have been blind all my life and am just now seeing the galaxy clearly.'
Jial allowed himself to be emersed in the feeling for a few more moments before he forced himself out of the state.
Unknown to Jial, what he had entered was a state known as Oneness, when one reaches the ultimate connection with The Force. Most beings could only enter this state when they were dead, it is extremely rare for one to enter the same state while they were alive. The Feeorin may never enter such a state again in his life.
When he exited his state, Jial saw the members of Clan Spar and Sidon looking at him in shock.
"What happened?" Jial asked puzzled
"You were glowing. And not the pregnant kind either," Boxe commented, still shocked by what she saw
"She's right. Your entire body was covered in a golden light," Suxon supplemented the information his sister left out
"I see," Jial wasn't sure what had happened so he could not really comment on it. "I was able to make a connection with The Force," Jial told them honestly. There was no way he could lie his way out of it and it wouldn't matter anyway. He would be using his Force Abilities in the future anyway.
"Does that mean you are a Jedi? Or a Sith?" Zilvarth asked, worried that their new boss was going to lead them down one of the two most self-destructive paths in the universe
Jial shook his head. He had the chance to become one of either but he didn't wish to. Instead, he would form his own order of force-sensitives. Those who were loyal not to the galaxy at large or to themselves but to the Yautja itself.
"No. I have no interest in the disputes of others. Instead, I shall forge my own path," Jial reassured him, not wanting to get involved in the religious fanatics. "Are you guys able to watch over the town for a week or 2? I need to go into seclusion to study some stuff."
"Of course, Jial. We shall handle all the matters in Wyne for now," Zilvarth agreed. Jial had already turned over secondary controls to the Sentinel Droids to the systems at the base. As long as they gave any commands from there or gave the droids new commands from their personal computers, there should be no problems in the town.
"Can I borrow your staff? You won't be needing it since you are going to just be studying it," Boxe asked. She had been interested in the combistick since they got back from their trip from Naboo. She had seen him use it during a practice session and had been wanting to borrow the weapon ever since.
"Knock yourself out," Jial tossed her the combistick.
Boxe held the staff in her hands and stared at his appreciatively. She had never seen such fine craftsmanship using Beskar before. She especially liked how the grip felt in her hand, even over her gloves. It actually felt like there was no glove there at all.
"Actually, can I just keep this, Boss?" Boxe asked, liking the combistick more and more
"Sure. Once the Toxis group is wiped out, it's all yours," Jial gave it up without thought. He was already going to have a lightsaber that he could customize. As long as he could make it out of Beskar or similar material, he felt there was no need to have two similar weapons.
Suxon had to hold his sister back from rushing out of the room to go and declare war on the Toxis all by herself. Everyone left the room to go about their duties while Jial made his way to his room.
When he got there, his room was surprisingly sparse. Besides a bed and a desk with a console on it, most of the room was left bare at Jial's choice. He wanted to have the ability to train in his room as he pleased as well as store any items he got from the System without worry.
Jial sat on his bed before calling out to the system and retrieving both of his Holocrons. The two objects appeared in his hand but they were greatly different.
The Jedi Holocron was shaped like a pentagonal dodecahedron, composed of twelve regular pentagonal faces. Its transparent crystal facets revealed the inner mechanisms and were held together by fine electrum frames.
The Sith Holocron was amorphous, characterized by an asymmetrical base of red matter surrounded by spiky protrusions. Set within the base was a vertical formation, the apex of which held a clear crystal. The device appeared to eschew the intricate crystalline matrices of other Holocrons and lacked glyphs and outward markings.
'System. Analyze both Holocrons.'
[Great Holocron (Replica): The Great Holocron is the centerpiece of the Jedi Temple's library holdings. Padawans are usually taught from the Holocron in the presence of a Master. It contains vast amounts of information including basic and advanced lightsaber construction methods, Galactic Republic history, philosophy, Sith history, lightsaber combat, and Jedi techniques. The Great Holocron also included discussions on the dark side of the Force and methods to resist its call as well as personal stories and journalings of various Jedi.
Telos Holocron (Replica): The Telos Holocron contains information and testimonials from over five thousand years of Sith history, as well as almost all force powers pertaining to the dark side. The various Sith Lords who possessed the Holocron over the ages have contributed to its knowledge base, leaving records of historical events, analysis of Sith practices, technological creations, or lessons on the manipulation of the Force.
Both Holocrons shall automatically be updated at the same time that the originals are. All security of both Holocrons has been deactivated for the Host.]
'What the heck did I stumble across? These don't just contain some Jedi and Sith knowledge. Both of these contain almost all of the Jedi and Sith's knowledge!'
Jial realized that the original week or 2 that he was expecting to use to analyze both of the Holocrons was a gross underestimation. Even if he simply wanted to just study one of the Holocrons, it would take him at least 10 years or so for the Great Holocron. The Telos Holocron seemed even more extensive as it contained the ideology of each version of the Sith, their technology, and in-depth analysis made by the powerful Sith Lords that had contributed to it.
Jial set down the Telos Holocron beside him before focusing on the Great Holocron. This seemed like it was easier to understand and covered more of the fundamentals since the Jedi used it to teach their Padawans. Jial also realized that the system had described the Light Side of the Force as gentle which also let him figure it was much easier.
The issue was that Jial had no idea how to manipulate The Force in the slightest. So the first few days in his room were spent with Jial just learning the basics of the Force through trial and error.
