Okay, I know, I haven't finished Times of Peace yet, but I've gotta post this or I'll go nuts.

Title: Scion of Light
Rating: PG
Warnings: None at the moment. Post Dark Nest AU, because of the LOTF series.
Ships: Jag/Jaina, Jacen/Tenel Ka, Wyn/Zekk
Plot: Four years after the end of the Swarm War. Jacen realized he was close to going all Sith and backed off from the Force altogether. Ben is at the Academy with the other students. Jaina and Zekk were un-Joined, no romance. Zekk flies with Scimitar Squadron. Tesar, Lowie and Tahiri were brought out of exile and now work with the Jedi. Tahiri no longer trusts Jacen.


Chapter One:

Luke Skywalker sighed and scrubbed a hand across his face, leaning back in his desk chair. He had just heard some very disturbing news on the HoloNet, and was quite certain that he was about to get a group of visitors about it. He wasn’t sure if this certainty came from the Force or his knowledge of his family.

As if on cue, his wife stormed into his study, red hair streaming behind her. The occasional touches of gray in it only served to make her look more distinguished and exotic than ever. Her green eyes were blazing, and he could feel her anger and fear through their bond.

“Farmboy, have you watched the HoloNet news today?” Mara Jade Skywalker was fuming, although Luke could also feel her concern.

“If you mean did I see the announcement about the attack on Tenel Ka’s daughter’s life, then yes.” Luke stood. “I just spoke with her. She is on her way here. We’ll know more about what happened then.” He took Mara in his arms, and felt her relax slightly.

“Jaina’s on her way, and I think someone is with her,” Mara said. She looked up at Luke. “You know she’s going to want to go to Hapes and find out who did this.” Luke sighed. He did know that his niece would be concerned about her friend and would want to go barreling off directly to Hapes and find whoever had tried to harm Allana. None of them had ever met the girl, but they all felt a connection to her anyway. Luke had given up trying to explain it. At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” Luke called. No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the door opened and Jaina Solo walked in, followed closely by her apprentice Jysella Horn. Both were wearing expressions of concern, fear, and anger, but Luke could feel that each woman had a rein on her emotions.

“Master Skywalker, have you heard anything about the Queen Mother?” Jaina asked, then, looking around and not seeing anyone else, added, “Uncle Luke, I’m really worried.”

“I just spoke with her. She’s on her way here.”

“Good.” Jysella, sensing that this was an informal meeting, sank into a nearby chair. “I’ve been worried about her. Are you sure Allana’s okay?”

“Positive.”

Jaina nodded. “When should she be getting here?” A thought occurred to her. “Does Jacen know?”

“I’m positive that he does,” Luke remarked. “Even though he hasn’t really been using the Force, he and Tenel Ka were- are- close. She may have contacted him even before she contacted me. As for when she is arriving, she didn’t say. It could be as soon as today, or two weeks from now.” Jaina nodded again, accepting this. She sighed, and began walking back to the door.

“Come on, Jys. We’re not done training for today.” Jysella groaned, but made no other protest as she rose and followed Jaina to the door, calling a good-bye to Luke and Mara as she went.

As the door shut, Mara fell into the chair that Jysella had just vacated. “Okay. There’s something I don’t understand. Why have there been so many attempts on Allana’s life?”
Luke sighed, sitting on his desk.

“I’m not sure. We could go with Han’s speculation, but somehow that doesn’t seem right. We’ll talk to Tenel Ka about it when she gets here. Meanwhile,” he said, standing, “I am starving and we haven’t seen Ben all day and I’m sure he’s home looking for something to eat.”

Mara stood, taking Luke’s hand. “Let’s go, Farmboy.”

And I know that I just posted but I wanted to get Chapter Two up.

Chapter Two

Four-year-old Allana Djo smiled as she played with the fish in the small fountain in Luke’s office. Her momma was talking to Mr. Skywalker and the lady with the red hair (she thought her momma had called her “Mari” or something) about something, but Allana assumed it was a grown-up conversation since she wasn’t allowed over there. She stuck her hand in the water and laughed gleefully as one of the fish bumped against it.

Tenel Ka Chume Ta’ Djo smiled slightly as she heard her daughter’s laughter. Turning her attention back to Luke, she replied, “I had to get her off the planet, and Ossus was the safest place that I could think of.”

“You’re always welcome here,” Luke told her. “Come in, Leia,” he said, just before a knock was heard. Luke’s twin walked in, mock-scowling at him, before walking over to Tenel Ka and hugging her. The young queen returned the embrace with as much warmth as it had been given, before turning to hug Jaina and Jysella, who, along with Han, had accompanied Leia. The group settled themselves on the couches and chairs, and Tenel Ka turned and called to her daughter.

“Allana.”

“Yes, Momma?”

“Can you come here for a moment?”

“I’m playing with the fishes.”

“There are some people I want you to meet.”

Pause.

“Are they fishes?”


“No. Will you please come over here for just a moment? Then you can go back to playing with the 'fishes', okay?”

“Okay.”

Allana walked over to the group, looking at them a bit suspiciously, as she sat on Tenel Ka's lap. “Who are you guys?” Tenel Ka cleared her throat, and Allana giggled. “Oops. I mean, Hi. I'm Allana Djo, Princess of Hapes. What's your names?”

Leia smiled; the young girl was certainly a charmer. “I'm Leia Organa Solo, but if it's alright with your mother, you can call me Leia.”

Allana looked up at her mother, who nodded, before responding, “Hi, Ms. Leia. It's nice to meet you.”
“I'm Han Solo, and this is my daughter Jaina and her apprentice, Jysella Horn,” Han said, pointing at each person as he said their names. “And you already met Luke and Mara.”

“Yes. Mr. Skywalker let me play with the fishes.” Allana turned back to her mother. “Can I go play with the fishes again?”

“Allana, don't you think you should stay and be polite?” Tenel Ka was attempting to control her desire to laugh, but it wasn't working very well.

“No. They're nice. They won't care.”

Tenel Ka looked at Han and Leia, who also looked as though they were about to start laughing at any moment, and shook her head. She opened her mouth to tell Allana that yes, she could go play with the “fishes”, but something else- or, rather, someone else- had caught her attention.

“Daddy!”

Allana was off Tenel Ka's lap and heading for the still closed door in a split-second, reaching it just as the door opened and Jacen stepped through. Scooping her up in his arms, he held her close for a moment.

“I missed you.” Allana kissed his cheek. “So did Momma, even though she won't 'mit it.” Jacen looked at Tenel Ka over the top of Allana's head, neither he nor Allana seeming to notice that the rest of the office's occupants had gone completely silent, and smiled. She smiled back, but was afraid to look away from him, because that would mean looking at Luke, or Mara, or Han, Leia, Jaina, Jysella- any of the others that hadn't known Allana was Jacen's daughter- that is, until her little outburst. Jacen, following her line of thought, nodded slightly at her and turned his attention to his child.

“Allana, can you go play with the fish for a few minutes?” he asked gently. She frowned.

“More grown-up stuff?” she asked, wrinkling her nose. He smiled at her and tugged a lock of her curly dark auburn hair.

“Something like that.” He set her down and she ran back over to the fountain, happy to see her fish friends again. Moving to sit beside Tenel Ka, Jacen didn't dare look at his parents, aunt and uncle, sister or Jysella. He knew all of them would either be angry or hurt. Or both. As he sat, he felt Tenel Ka's hand slip into his, and squeezed it, grateful for the support. They both looked over at the rest of the group.

Help me keep track and PM me when you update. Your J/TK's really good.

“Allana, can you go play with the fish for a few minutes?” he asked gently. She frowned.

LOL how ironic!

He knew all of them would either be angry or hurt. Or both. As he sat, he felt Tenel Ka's hand slip into his, and squeezed it, grateful for the support. They both looked over at the rest of the group.

It's about time Allana gets revealed. Write more soon because I can't wait to see the reactions of the rest of the clan.

She's going to need to learn them, then, because she's Hapan heir.

SilSolo: You must've posted right when I did earlier...yeah, I can't wait for everyone to find out about her in Legacy. There's a really good vig up right now, "Here All Along" by -Tenel-Ka- that doesn't have everyone finding out about her, but it's awesome and I wanted to recommend it. Anyway, yeah, she'll need to learn diplomacy. I think it's there, but it just hasn't made itself known yet, lol.

Valley_Lord: Oh yeah.

SilSolo: It was darn good, wasn't it?

ZebulaNebula:Yeah, she's cute. And talkative. And a target because, well- it's Hapes. Han and Leia....they're not too happy about the secrecy, but Leia's ecstatic that she's a grandmother. That just cancels out everything else- for a while, anyway.

She's not only an old J/TK'er (like everyone looked up to her when I first came on the boards a few years ago) but also one of the best. I guess next would be Amsie, Striker or Carr.

Sn meaning exactly what? My name? You would be one of the first people EVER to catch that then ... and yeah, gotta love SoA!! dancing hypnotized

I am terrible about lurking - usually when I don't have much time, I kinda fall back into that. blush sad

A PM list would be great - you see, sometimes I am too busy to check the boards, and then I only go and read something when I get update PMs. I hate missing updates on stories I really like! Well, I hope you'll consider it, though I know that this means additional work for you ...

Ys, Fia
