	You know, with each new post, your opening quote from Shakespeare just seems more and more fitting- and more profound. While Jaina is the seducer, Kyp's downfall is of his own making, really. Lol, at least he'll have some lovin' on the way down -----signature----- "I heard what you didn't say. You said 'not for you', but what you thought was 'not for Darth Vader's granddaughter'!" -DJ

	Each post is more captivating then the previous one. I'm just in awe of your ability to write fiction. Maybe you should write an original short story and try to get it published. -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/Beyond_the_Saga/b10477/18526131 -- Seed of Darkness -- NJO AU Updated 12/22/05 http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=20836886 -- Star Wars Destinies NJO AU - NO Vong, stupid living planets and stupidity in general

	Love makes you weak, lol. I really do feel bad for Kyp in a way, he's just not strong enough to turn and walk away. But if he did that, we'd be missing out on some hot stuff, he he -----signature----- "I am a Jedi... like my father before me."

	A gloved hand pressed against the cool surface of the transparisteel, his eyes stared out at the stars in the distance, but he didn't really see them. He was looking beyond them now, to some great horizon that was just out of sight, searching for answers. As of late, answers had been few and far between, little more than vague impressions coming to him across the vast expanse of the Force. It was frustrating and disheartening, but he didn't let himself dwell on the absence of clarity, choosing instead to focus on what he was being shown. A cold breeze in a place of shadows... darkness falling like a veil... light fading into night... It was not a happy knowledge he had been given. Drawing back into himself, Luke Skywalker sighed, letting his hand fall from the transparisteel and turning away from the stars beyond it. "Luke?" Hearing the concern in her voice, Luke smiled in his wife's direction, a smile that came easier when his gaze fell upon their infant son seated in her lap, playing with lose strands of her fiery red hair. "It's nothing," he assured her wearily. "I was just thinking." Mara didn't seem to believe him, her green eyes narrowed in skepticism, but she didn't say anything about it. She was perfectly aware of what had been haunting him as of late, even without the strength of their Force bond, for those same things had been haunting her as well. The strike mission he'd sent a handful of young Jedi on to Myrkr... the losses they had suffered there... the fall of Coruscant... the close shave they'd had with Ben, nearly losing him to the Yuuzhan Vong... the breaking of their family... the division among the Jedi... Anakin. Jacen. Jaina. It was the last three that plagued his thoughts the most. "Oww," Mara cried suddenly, her features twisted into a grimace as she tried to pry a clump of her hair out of Ben's chubby little fist. "Ben, let go of Mommy's hair..." Despite himself, Luke smiled at the sight, and by the time his wife had untangled her hair from their son's hand, who now looked thoroughly irritated with her for taking away his 'toy', he had to bite his lip to keep from chuckling. "Now I know why Leia always wore her hair up," Mara muttered. "I don't think you have the patience to put yours up in those intricate hairstyles that she used to favor," Luke informed her sympathetically, but at the same time he felt a dull ache in his chest. It had been a long time since he'd last seen his sister muster the time or energy to mess with her hair, and now it was cut shorter than he'd ever imagined she could tolerate wearing it, after both she and Jaina had been forced to shave their heads for decontamination on Duro a year prior. It wasn't just Leia that had changed since the start of this war, though, the entire galaxy was a different place these days. And he wasn't sure he liked the direction it was heading. "Do you want to talk about it?" Mara asked him, bouncing Ben on her knee to keep him happy, and if his giggling smile was any indication, her efforts were more than paying off. "About what?" Though she didn't take her eyes off of their son, Luke knew he was being glared at through the Force. "About Anakin?" Mara suggested evenly. "Or about Jacen? Or Jaina?" For a moment, Luke was overcome by a need to unburden his troubles on her, to spill all of the guilt and grief and fear he was harboring into her hands and beg her to tell him what to do to make it better, to make everything right again. "No," he said at last. "I don't want to talk about it." "I see," Mara said, and he recognized the silky undertones as a sign of her displeasure. "Well, that's just too vaping bad, isn't it? Because I want to talk about it. I need to talk about, Luke, and so do you." Turning away from her, Luke pressed his lips together in a tight line, not wanting to admit the truth of her words. He did need to talk about it, he knew that he did, but the wound was still too fresh and too deep, there hadn't been time to come to terms with it all yet. Both of his nephews, his apprentices, were dead. One mission had claimed them both, along with half of their strike team, and he had been the one to send them to their deaths. "You aren't to blame, Luke," Mara told him softly, picking up on his thoughts. "It wasn't your fault." "I sent them, Mara," Luke replied quietly, his chest aching with a relentless and heavy pain he couldn't escape. "I knew it was dangerous, knew it was crazy, and I sent them just the same." "It wasn't crazy," Mara argued, rising to her feet and moving across the room to place Ben down in his hoverpen before turning back to face him. "It was necessary. The voxyn were too big of a threat not to do something about them, and Anakin's plan worked. They destroyed the cloning labs and the voxyn queen, and now the voxyn that were already cloned are starting to die out." "The price was too high," Luke murmured. "Yes," Mara agreed somberly, her green eyes glistening with a sheen of tears. "The price was too high. Losing Anakin and Jacen was too much. But they died doing what Jedi do, protecting and serving, and they wouldn't want you to be blaming yourself, Luke." "I know," he responded evenly. "But I blame myself just the same." Anakin and Jacen had been his nephews, children that he loved as his own and had helped his sister and brother-in-law raise over the years. After their graduation from the Academy, he had taken them both on as apprentices, finding it remarkably easy to train them at the same time, despite their warring philosophies and the inevitable arguements that those philosophies always led to. They had both been so talented, so strong in the Force, such capable Jedi, and he had been prouder of them than of anything he had accomplished in his life. But he had not been able to protect them. The logical part of his brain, the part of him that revolved around Jedi wisdom, knew that he couldn't keep them safe forever. His boys, all three of the Solo children, really, had been forced to grow up fast, it was hard to retain childlike innocence when there were always people trying to kill you even before you're even born. They had been trained as Jedi, instilled with all the knowledge and teachings that the Order had to offer, and they'd been armed with the Force. I had to let them go, he realized sadly. Whether to Myrkr or to the other side of the galaxy, I had to let them go. Just as he had to let Jaina go now. Her fate, in some ways, hit him even more forcefully than the deaths of her brothers. To lose a child to death was a terrible, terrible tragedy, but to lose one to darkness... Now Luke knew how Obi-Wan Kenobi must have felt all those years ago when he first realized what path his father had chosen to take. He felt Mara's arms wrap around his waist from behind, and she pressed her cheek against his shoulder, her red hair falling against the side of his face. She didn't speak, and they stood like that in silence for a long moment, their battered spirits taking comfort in one another, communicating a terrible grief that neither of them was willing to speak aloud for fear of what admitting it might mean. "I hate myself for leaving her," Mara confessed in a desolate whisper, and Luke sensed the guilt swelling within her, felt it mingling with his own, tinged with unspoken fears and long-buried dreads. "We had to get Ben," he repeated the words he'd been telling himself over and over lately aloud. "He was our first priority at the moment." "And I feel horrible because of that," Mara sighed, her composure faltering a little through the Force. "She's my apprentice, Luke... I should be there on Hapes, trying to help her find her way back from wherever it is that her pain has taken her." "I think," Luke said slowly. "That this is something Jaina has to figure out on her own." "Is that the Force talking?" Mara inquired. "Or just uncle intuition?" "A little of both, actually," Luke replied with a faint smile. "Jaina's destiny is unclear at the moment, she's turning on the edge of a vibroblade... if we intervene, we might push her in the wrong direction." When she didn't reply, he wasn't surprised, and he felt her turning inward, seeking guidance from the Force herself on the matter. He wasn't bothered by what appeared to be her lack of faith in his judgment, on the contrary, it warmed his heart to know that she loved their niece as much as he did. Mara hadn't officially joined the family until the twins were ten years old, but she had been a familiar face, in and out of their lives ever since they were born, even saving the Solo children's lives on more than one occasion. By the time that Luke had finally gotten some sense knocked into him, and it took a life-or-death situation at that, Jaina had been more than excited about the prospect of gaining an aunt, and Mara, despite her initial misgivings about suddenly accumulating a large family, had been touched by the girl's enthusiasm. The next few years had been interesting, with Luke moving back and forth between the praxeum on Yavin Four and the unofficial Jedi headquarters on Coruscant, while Mara preferred to travel the galaxy, accompanying some of the less seasoned Jedi Knights on missions when she wasn't working with Mirax Terrik. And then her illness had struck. It had been a frightening time for their entire family, as they were helpless to do anything but watch Mara struggle against the debilitating disease, with no clue where it had come from or how to cure it. Much later, they had learned it was a Yuuzhan Vong bio-posion, which she had been exposed to by Nom Anor before any of them had even heard of the soon-to-be invaders. For a long time Mara had thought the Yuuzhan Vong disease ravaging her body would prevent them from ever having children of their own, but Luke knew that she had taken comfort in Jaina. Upon finishing her training at the Academy, Jaina had been hesitant to ask Mara to take her on as an apprentice, worried that it would be asking too much of her aunt when Mara was expending so much of her strength and energy battling her disease, but Mara had been staunchly determined that she was up to the task. "And I wasn't," Mara whispered, sounding more frail than she ever had, even during the peak of her illness. "I've failed in her training, and now we've lost her to the dark side." "No, Mara, no," Luke said, turning and taking her face in his hands to look her right in the eye. "Jaina's fall is not your fault. You trained her better than I could have ever hoped, helped turn her into a remarkable young Jedi. Pain, grief... sometimes they just cause people to lose sight of what's important, of what's right. Jaina hasn't consciously chosen to journey the dark path, I'm not even sure she's admitted what she's doing to herself yet. She's just hurting, and as wrong as she knows vengeance is, she wants to make her brothers' deaths count for something." For a long moment, green eyes bored into blue ones, as if searching for some sort of cosmic answer to the terrible dilemma before them. "Do you think Leia is ever going to accept that Jacen is dead?" Mara asked at last. Luke recognized a change of subject when he heard one, and though he knew she hadn't entirely believed him when he absolved her of any responsibility involving Jaina's slip to the dark side, he was willing to let it go for now. No doubt they would venture onto that subject again in the coming weeks, and in time she would come to realize that it was true. "In time," Luke replied quietly, his heart wrenching for his sister. "I think she's just in shock. To lose both of her sons, in the same day..." "Leia is so strong," Mara murmured, and there was genuine respect and awe in her voice. "She's had so much taken from her, but she never wavers." It was true, Leia had lost so much that she loved... their mother, whom Leia had a half-forgotten flash of memory of, a father that she had never gotten the chance to know and yet loved enough to forgive him and name her youngest son after him, her foster family the Organas, her beloved homeworld, countless friends and allies, the Republic she had worked so hard to rebuild from the ashes of the Empire... And now her children had been taken from her, as well, Jaina just as surely as her brothers, and by something infinitely worse than death. Our family has suffered so much, Luke thought sorrowfully, his sister's distant pain crying out inside of him, a dull but constant ache now, ever present and never fading. They had not grown up together, so they had never spoken whole conversations finishing each other's every thought, they had not taken their first steps together and celebrated double birthdays, but their was a closeness just as unique and just as strong as what Jaina had shared with Jacen. If the mere thought of losing Leia was enough to twist every fiber of his being in anguish, then it must have been utterly unbearable for Jaina. She had lost her twin, her other half, and she had also lost her little brother, of whom she had always been fiercely protective and loving. Both of them gone in the blink of an eye. Anakin's death had shaken Luke's very being, shaken him so badly that Mara, who had been grieving herself after feeling their nephew's star burn out, had been forced to order him to shut his presence down in the Force, less he permanently scar Ben through the Force bond he shared with his son. Reminding him of his son, his tiny, helpless little son, had given Luke the clarity to shunt his pain aside and focus on what had to be done, but it had not done anything to soothe the gaping hole within him. And then Jacen, too, had been stolen from him, ripped out of him so suddenly and so violently that he had not been able to breathe. Across some great distance of space, he had felt the first stirrings of Jaina's fury after Anakin's death, but with the battle for Coruscant taking place around him, Luke had not been able to allow himself to dwell on it much. From what Zekk had told him, though, Jaina had blamed Jacen for abandoning Anakin to die, words he knew she would be regretting now that her twin was dead, but what had disturbed him the most about Zekk's report was that Jaina had been hurling Force lightning at the Yuuzhan Vong aboard the worldship. Losing Jacen, too, so soon after Anakin, had only compounded her grief and driven her into a cold frenzy that still echoed around her in the Force. She is a daughter of Skywalker, Luke mused grimly, his deepest fears stirring. He knew what his niece could be capable of if she chose to continue down this path, the shadow of his father's legacy had haunted his dreams the entire span of her life. If Jaina followed in her grandfather's footsteps, she had the potential to become an even greater enemy than the Yuuzhan Vong. "Don't think like that," Mara said sharply, green eyes narrowed with fire. "She's our niece." "She's also the granddaughter of Darth Vader," Luke pointed out softly. "Jaina is a Jedi." "As was my father, once." After a defiant beat, Mara looked away, troubled, and Luke sighed, rubbing a hand over the stubble growing on his chin as he followed her gaze to their son in his hoverpen. The turmoil of the past week had begun to unravel them both, and if they were going to get through this, they would have to lean on one another, all of them, as a family. "I wonder sometimes," Mara murmured, wrapping her arms around herself. "What kind of galaxy Ben is going to grow up in." "As do I," Luke said. "The galaxy has changed so much since we were kids, Luke," she responded worriedly. "It's changed so much since Jaina was a child. Even when this war ends, even if we win, I don't think the galaxy will ever be the same." "Something better will rise from the ashes," Luke reasoned, with optimism he wasn't sure he really felt these days. "Just as the New Republic did after we defeated the Empire that destroyed the Old Republic." "And what if the Jedi don't survive the transition?" Mara demanded. "Not even the Emperor could wipe us out completely," Luke pointed out wearily. "We have to have faith in the Force, and believe that the Jedi will prevail in the end, like always." "I wish I had your confidence," Mara said with a weak smile, her green eyes dim with shadows. "We've already lost so many... and they've been young, Luke. Too young." "Death knows no discrimination of age, Mara," he reminded her gently. "Six at Myrkr," Mara told him bluntly. "Six, not including Anakin and Jacen, and all of them hardly two decades old." "I know," Luke sighed again. "I know." The Jedi strike team had managed to destroy the voxyn queen and the cloning labs, an act which had saved an untold number of lives, but the cost had been high. Less than half of the team had returned from Myrkr, and those that had returned had come back changed by their experiences there. Bela Hara, Jovan Drark, Eryl Besa, Ulah Kore, Raynar Thul, and Krasov Hara had all fallen alongside Anakin and Jacen on that mission, and each of them was remembered as a hero, having given their lives for the Order and for the Force. But the survivors, Ganner Rhysode, Tenel Ka, Tahiri Veila, Alema Rar, Zekk, Lowbacca, Tesar Sebatyne and Jaina, all bore the scars of their experiences. They were a living reminder of what fighting the Yuuzhan Vong had cost the Jedi. Out of the eight young Jedi who had died on the mission to Myrkr, only Anakin's body had been recovered, and Luke did not want to think about how ruthlessly, how viciously, Jaina had fought to bring him home to her parents. The other seven, Jacen included, had not even been able to receive the honor of a proper Jedi funeral. And Luke felt as if he had failed each and every one of them. "Jaina almost didn't come to Anakin's funeral," Mara commented quietly. "Did Leia tell you that?" Nodding, Luke looked away from Ben, who was too busy playing with the X-wing mobile overhead to worry about the somber mood in the room. "If Kyp hadn't essentially kidnapped her from the palace, I doubt she would have come at all." From the light that flickered in her eyes, it was clear that this was the very topic she had been waiting to broach with him. "We both know she didn't mean it when she told Zekk she was going to stay on Hapes as Kyp's apprentice," she said evenly. "But I'm worried just the same. I don't think hanging around with Kyp Durron is going to have a positive affect on her right now, not with her state of mind." "Funny," Luke murmured. "I'm more concerned about the affect it will have on Kyp." To her credit, Mara didn't react incredulously, just arched her eyebrow. "I can't explain it," Luke said, shaking his head. "It's just a feeling, really. A glimmering of something on the horizon... I just know that while Jaina's future is divided between two paths, overlapping and intertwining here and there, Kyp will soon have to make a choice." "And you fear he'll make the wrong one?" "This is Kyp we're talking about," Luke pointed out with a weak smile. "You have a point there," Mara agreed grimly. "So what now? What do we do?" "Nothing," Luke pronounced, and it was the hardest decision he'd ever had to make, but he knew, somehow, it was the right one. "The Force hasn't given me much to go on with this, but anytime I see us trying to intervene- you, Han, Leia or I- it ends in disaster. Kyp's fate is directly tied to Jaina's now, we have to trust that she'll find her way back somehow." Mara bit her lip, deeply unsettled by his words, but she didn't argue with him about it. Most likely, she, too, had sought some guidance from the Force on this subject since their departure from Hapes, and she'd come to relatively the same conclusion, whether she was willing to admit it or not. "I don't like this," she said at last. "Neither do I, love," Luke murmured, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her close. "Neither do I." -----signature----- "Fight until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more." -Leia Solo in SbS "Love can ignite the stars..." -RotS novelization "Even the stars die out, Anakin Skywalker..." -RotS novelization

	Really nice post It was cool to see how everyone else, away from Hapes, is reacting to Jaina's fall. Luke's grief was very poignant and deep, precisely what I wish we'd seen more of in the NJO. The Solo kids are as much his children as they are Han and Leia's, so it was wonderful to see him grieving for them. And Mara's guilt at leaving her apprentice to face her demons on her own, but knowing it was the will of the Force, was a beautiful touch. -----signature----- "I've gone over to the scoundrel side of the Force" -Leia

	Poor Luke- he's got a lot on his shoulders right now, doesn't he? I always wondered why he and Mara and Leia didn't stick around on Hapes (I get that they had to go for Ben, but after they could have come back- Jaina was in trouble, right?)... I like your idea that Luke knew he would only push her further away by trying to intervene. It had to be someone like Kyp, someone who understood her and she could connect with w/o feeling like she was being 'told what to do' and all. Lol, of course, in this case, leaving Kyp to handle it alone will undoubtedly have a bad ending -----signature----- "Do you want the short answer, or do you need someone to explain it to you with charts and diagrams?" -Jag and Jaina in DJ "You're a major now?"

	"Jaina is a Jedi." "As was my father, once." Very grim truth there, hmm? Jaina is following in her grandfather's footsteps, in more ways than one, and there's not a thing anyone can do about it, really.

	Somehow I think Luke will be displeased when he finds out Kyp lets Jaina get away with it, lol. Then again, he did fear Kyp would make the wrong decision... Loved that line about 'this is Kyp we're talking about' or whatever, he he, classic Luke. -----signature----- "I find your lack of faith disturbing..."

	Great job. If only we could have read about this kind of characterization in the NJO, which was more concentrated on rushing off to the next battle instead of letting the characters stop and take stock of their lives, and you'd think that this latter point is something that would have been stressed in a five year series. -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/Beyond_the_Saga/b10477/18526131 -- Seed of Darkness -- NJO AU Updated 12/22/05 http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=20836886 -- Star Wars Destinies NJO AU - NO Vong, stupid living planets and stupidity in general

	I agree with the Grand Admiral- this emotion and introspection is what was missing in the NJO. It's what makes this story so incredible, because we don't just move from action to action, we get all the deep, twisting emotional rollercoaster turns along the way, too.
