	Sad and sweet. Beautiful job, oba. -----signature----- It was on her fifteenth day in the darkness of the Nirauan cave when Mara Jade awoke to discover a rescuer had finally arrived. It was not, however, any of the potential rescuers she would have expected. It was Luke. ~~And the rest is history~~

	I like this! Interesting idea about an unknown seeress... and the bit at the end about Padme knowing that both Anakin and Luke's lives will be full of hurt, and the father will hurt the son! Ah... sensitive Luke! Wouldn't be him if he didn't care so much... -----signature----- Fanficcer and Fanartist: Check the profile!

	JediMindTrick000: Thanks. Eerie and foreboding is quite the compliment! LizBennet: Thanks. I've always thought that Luke was probably the only one who cared that Vader died, in the sense of losing a person, not power or advantages. shrugs I'm glad you liked this, the future tense was definitely tricky at times. And hey! Always nice to see someone delurk - I'm pleased to have you. bobilll: What can I say? I love Luke. But yeah, I had planned from the beginning that it was actually this woman speaking to Padme. Hehe. Thank you! PadawanEmily: Thanks. Jedi-2B: Thank you. ShrunkenJedi: Thanks. But the seeress, you know, also gives Padme hope - she says that Luke will cry, but that he'll have good moments too, and that at the end, he'll die well. Some comfort, anyway. And aye, I agree with you about Luke. -----signature----- MS Word is designed by sadists with masochists in mind. - teh atty my recent Atton (KOTOR2) fic: http://boards.theforce.net/before_the_saga/b10475/30335989

	This one gave me chills at the end, obaona. It was eerie, the idea that an unknown woman was revealing all this to Padme before Luke was even born. It had to be unsettling for Padme as well. I especially love the last line. Brilliant as always! -----signature----- A long time ago in a house far away, there was a mother who was strong in the ways of the Force.

	Gina: Hehe, thanks! I'm sure it would be very unsettling, even if Padme didn't totally believe what she said. I'd be creeped out. Thank you, again.

	Wow, Luke's life laid all out before us. When he loses himself to the Dark, he’ll cry in remorse. Whaaa??? Granted I haven't read EU but when did this happen? And this.. He will cry when his son is born. He’ll cry when he dies. I'm not sure I want to know. You've written a rich and detailed piece. -----signature----- Break away from everybody Break away from everthing If you can't stand the way this place is Take yourself to higher places

	I said I'd write something happy next. Well, yeah, but no one actually believed you. Interesting piece, oba. Of course, I'm a big fan of unusual structures, POVs, tenses, etc., so I much appreciated this. I don't see that kind of stuff in SW fic all that often, sadly. He will cry. Best line of the whole thing. Just playin', but it does really grab me for some reason. And he will cry ... because now he can leave, and never look back. Yowch. (Or youch. Is there really a proper spelling for that? ) Interesting with the dots and the slightly...just...yeah. shrugs You know what I mean. because he didn’t know that adventure would be like that. Spectacular! He really didn't know, back when he was just that boy on the farm. I used to think that way when I was little, too. Oh, so grand, and all that, ya know? But it isn't. It really, really isn't. "Some wars are necessary; some wars are just. No war is good." And all will be as it will be. I enjoyed this as well. Great fic, oba. -----signature----- Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. (Roald Dahl)

	Oba, I hate you. I'm finally able to sneak back in for a moment, and you give me this? You make me cry? When he loses himself to the Dark... That struck me deep for some reason I can't explain. Great job, dearest. -Krystal -----signature----- We'll go together... AHBY... always.

	ThePariah: giggles Er, thank you. Healer_Leona: Eh, it happened in a comic, actually. Most people ignore it. As a friend put it, good fanfiction, horrible canon. And Luke hasn't died in the EU - yet. Thank you! Leia: LMAO. Am I really that bad? I like to try new things. And I don't like being told I can't do something because good stories are only in a set structure (always write in perfect past my ... butt). I didn't just want to cover Luke's life, I wanted to cover a specific kind of reoccuring event - crying. I kept thinking, what would a mother ask? What would Padme ask? Will my child know pain? And the answer is most definitely yes. Nice quote. Thank you for reading. Miana Kenobi: Thanks! KrystalBlaze: At least I didn't plan it! I'm not entirely evil. Thank you.
