rejalgarIt's mid-afternoon here but it's bugger o'clock at night as far as my body's concerned. And I smell like the inside of a slug. Got the sword Tremel wanted, though.
And ran into Vemrin. Turns out, he's what Tremel's brought me in to deal with. Because Vemrin's mixed blood.
Tremel's a fucking idiot.
If he realizes I'm not just mixed, I'm a bona fide Oops from my mum and some mando merc, I'll be fucked out of my one shot at a decent life again.
Or maybe Tremel already knows, and thinks this is poetic. Whatever. All it means is I know I have to drop him now. Him, and maybe his daughter. She's an acolyte too, been at the Academy six months and definitely had prior training.
So, she's six months here and an "advanced student", if Tremel's to be believed. I knew the Academy was mostly just weeding out people for placement in apprenticeships, but that makes it sound like the whole thing's done in less than a year. Kids at government schools get taught for way longer than that.
Military's about that fast though. I think so, anyway.
And I'm skipping most of it. Let's figure the trials take less than six months, then. Two or three, maybe. And I'm supposed to be starting those immediately. So in two or three months, I have to learn how to use the Force properly, deal with Vemrin, deal with Tremel before he deals with me, and sign on with a Lord somewhere.
Great.
