"They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason."
Ernest Hemingway

The rocky landscape of Korriban stretched endlessly before me, the harsh environment a reflection of the trials I faced in my training. Each day was a relentless assault of dust storms and harsh sun, matched only by the intensity of my lessons with Lumiya. Our training ground was a rocky plateau, surrounded by ancient Sith ruins, adding an eerie grandeur to the setting.
Lumiya, the Dark Lady of the Sith, stood tall and imposing, her lightwhip coiled around her waist like a serpent ready to strike. Her presence was commanding, and her demeanor was a mix of cold precision and subtle encouragement. She had seen my potential, and her belief in me was both a privilege and a heavy burden.
"Again, Kodo!" Lumiya's voice cut through the swirling dust as she ignited her lightwhip. The energy tendrils crackled with a menacing hiss. "Focus on your telekinesis. The rock should be an extension of your will, not just a tool to be manipulated."
I nodded, sweat trickling down my face. My task was to lift a large boulder with the Force, a challenge that had become increasingly complex as Lumiya pushed me to refine my control. With each attempt, I struggled to balance the raw power of my telekinesis with the precision required to manipulate the stone.
"You're using too much raw power," Lumiya said, her voice firm but not unkind. "You need to channel it with intention. The Force is not just about strength; it's about finesse."
