FlingeldOh! You startled me. I didn't see you approach. My Master says there are valuable materials behind that boulder over there. But get this - the blasted thing can't be moved.My instructions were to go to a platform in the ruins. "Meditate, and let the Force empower me." But I've meditated 'til I can't see straight - and nothing.Jedi duoYou admit defeat? You're just going to give up?FlingeldWhat else am I supposed to do?So, I'm gonna get drummed out of the order because I can't move a rock that can't be moved? It's absurd. Hey, what if - maybe you could help me. Are you good at this meditation thing?Jedi duoLet's find out.FlingeldOh, thank you! You're a lifesaver.So, just kneel at the altar nearby. Supposedly, if you find deep inner peace, you'll be able to move the boulder. If you fail, I can tell my Master it wasn't just me who couldn't move it.
FlingeldYou did it! I can't decide if I'm ashamed that I couldn't do it or happy that my mission is complete. There was supposed to be something important behind the boulder!Master QuilljaykI'm very disappointed, Flingeld.FlingeldMaster Quilljayk, why are you here?Master QuilljaykThe valuable materials beyond that boulder were enlightenment and perseverance - and you failed to acquire them.You've become unbalanced by doubt and self-recrimination. By enlisting another's aid to complete this trial, you have confirmed deep-rooted weakness.I'm afraid your training must come to an end. You will not become a Jedi.FlingeldBut Master, it's not my fault. I didn't ask for help. I- I tried to decline!Jedi DuoThat is simply not true, Master Quilljayk.Master QuilljaykI sense the calm in you, young ones. It speaks to your veracity.I know how important becoming a Jedi was to you and your family, Flingeld. Unfortunately, I have no choice. You will be stationed in the archives here and serve the order in a clerical capacity. It is decided.FlingeldYou- it's all your fault. You ruined my chances.Master QuilljaykFlingeld was never expected to move that boulder. Communing with the Force is something only a Master typically has the clarity to achieve.Jedi DuoSo, you were testing his determination and resolve.Master QuilljaykYes. And his inner fortitude proved inflexible, so he crumbled. Flingeld's task was to learn to persevere despite futility. When one's self-image depends on success, shortcuts are taken.It's imperative that we screen out Padawans unable to assume the great responsibility of the Jedi. You've done the order an important service.Jedi DuoWe did nothing noteworthy. Just what was called for.Master QuilljaykHumility is the benchmark of the Jedi. Flingeld? You may return to the temple when you are ready.FlingeldYes. Yes, Master.Master QuilljaykYou have our thanks. Now may the Force be with you.
"If you fail, I can tell my Master it wasn't just me who couldn't move it." - Flingeld to Jedi duoA Force-sensitive human, Flingeld was trained in the ways of the Force by the Jedi Order
, residing at the Temple there. It was very important for him and his family to become a Jedi, so he tried hard to achieve success, being willing to take shortcuts whenever possible.During the Flesh Raider uprising
, when it was time to take his Trials of Knighthood, Flingeld traveled to the ruins of Lower Kaleth to meditate near a large meditation crystal. His master had tasked him with moving a large boulder through his meditations, but Flingeld grew frustrated with his inability to complete the task and asked
of Jedi to do the trial instead. Master Quilljayk was displeased with his student's failure and did not allow him to graduate to the rank of Jedi Knight
. Having failed the trials, Flingeld was assigned to the Archives where he would serve the Order as a clerk. Flingeld blamed the duo for ruining his chances of becoming a Jedi, but Quilljayk stated he was never meant to accomplish a feat meant for Masters, but to learn enlightenment and perseverance.
