This story is part of the TFN Diary Challenge where participants must keep a character journal for one year, posting at least two entries per month. My journal is based on the canon character Jax Pavan, a Jedi Knight struggling to survive after Order 66. He is from the books Coruscant Knights and The Last Jedi. I will base the story on canon events, but it is an AU story.
