Wow! Nice to see you.

Great update and thanks for the PM. happy

Sheesh, Zekk is taking it kind of hard. I like the way you developed his feelings on her turn to the darkside though. Good job.

A little birdy told me there was a new post to read, and there was! grin

Now that is how you write Zekk. It's been a while since I've picked up Dark Journey, but his actions make much more sense how you've written them. It was great to read his inner monologue - the self-doubt and guilt he was dealing with as far back as when he and Jaina first met.

And of course Jaina had to show up in the end. I could tell the whole post was building up to that, and my smile just kept getting wider and wider until *the* moment came. When it did, the contrast between Zekk's thoughts and her mostly normal actions was striking. I mean, when was the last time we saw her smile normally and conversing with Jedi peacefully? Of course, the last line brought Zekk's thoughts full circle. She is still so dark and only getting worse.

*cheers* Wonderful post, and well worth the wait.

I had a feeling Jaina would be running into those three wink

Nice look at Jaina's fall through Zekk's eyes- her first "love", ex-best friend and someone who knows all too well what the dark side does... it gives a depth to the Jedi outlook on her fall. And I am anxious to see what happens now.. does Kyp come? Does Jacen get there? Will the Jedi let Jaina leave without trying to stop her?

Of course. This is the realism that the NJO desperately attempted to capture.

I just found this story today. I've only read up to the part where Ta'a Chume dies so far.

Amazing story. I found Ta'a Chume's ending rather amusing because (The Unseen Queen spoilers) Jacen 'takes her out' in TUQ. How fitting for Jaina to do it here and Jacen there. You even wrote that part of the story back in 2004.

Just wanted to comment before I continued reading. This story is addicting. tongue

It only gets better. Lord Durron hasn't even busted loose yet at that point.

And so as the Yuuzhan Vong twitched and convulsed, withering and dying in excruciating agony, Zekk watched Jaina as she watched them die.

Her smile only grew with each passing second.

Holy Carp, Woman! That was amazing, and down-right unsettling... Nice work!

An update, hurray! grin So Jaina is in a mineshaft with Zekk, Lowie and Tesar... Kyp and Welk are with three other Jedi, we don't know what the rest of the dark jedi are up to yet... Jacen is trying to get there, Luke and the others are trying to get there... so many possibilities, lol! tongue

Wow! I love your writing!


I wonder what Kyp would think of Zekk being around?



Dark journey was the only NJO book I read the whole way through. Then they go and mess it up. Jaina's fall was the perfect thing to make NJO more like Star Wars and they almost totally ignore it for the rest of the series. Thank you so much for writing this!


So what happens next?

Thank you so much for the PM! I only just had time now to read the update and it certainly was well worth the wait! It was interesting to see Jaina's fall through her friend's eyes and to see how her fall has affected those around her. It'll be interesting to see how they interact with her once the depressurization is finished. I can't wait for the next post! There hasn't been a dull moment in this story! Please continue to PM me with updates! grin

But aren't the Vong so much kewler than stupid dark siders? The vong have living snake-staff weapons that spit poison, all dark siders can do is shoot lightning from their fingertips.

Heavy sarcasm, obviously. did Jaina even truly turn or was it just her time of the month and she had really, really bad PMS?
