Introduction


She dies young.
Don't all young heroine's in stories?
My mother died.
I was no more than a baby. I watched her body fall down infront of me.
I screamed for her to get up.
Not to leave me alone.
I was only four years-old.
Her dark hair fell about her shoulders.
She looked like a beautiful angel sleeping.
My mother.
My mother had left me then.
I felt it. I felt her leave me.
Gramma says that all things die in time. But she didn't feel it.
At least not like I did.
My mother cried out for me.
She told me to run.
But I couldn't.
The last thing I saw in her eyes was fear for me.
My mother had thought I was going to die with her.
A Jedi always leads a dangerous life.
This I was taught from birth.
My mother gave birth to me in the back of her ship in the middle of a war.
She had said it was only right.
She and her twin had been born the same.
My twin though died before I was born.
A little girl just like me.
My mother is long dead.
I never met my father. He left shortly after they were married.
My mother said it was because they never got along.
I think it was because my father was a coward.
I hate him.
May this journey lead me to his death.

 

Part 1




The ground was snow covered. It was so cold that it made me feel like crying in my agony. The weather did not cause the agony though. It was my visit to the Riff graveyard in Oro hollow where her body is forever in state via holo above her closed tomb.

She wasn't royalty herself. At least not directly. My mother had been born the daughter of a Princess. My grandmother Leia was everything a Princess should be. But my mother had married royalty. Prince Tal Oshah of Borbandin.

How did her body end up here on Naboo you may wonder...

Simple really.

The Prince was not my father.

My mother had married Prince Tal as part of an arranged marriage to free several Rebel fighter pilots during the last rebellion on Togashe province. My father was one of them.

She never told me his name while I was little.

Only that he was a good man.

He had loved me.

But how can that possibly be?

How can any father love a child if they never hold them even once in their arms? Never tell them that they love them? Never tell them that the monsters under the bed won't get them?

A father is supposed to be there.

Even if only sometimes or when he can.

He has to let his child know that he cares.

But he's not supposed to do what my father did.

Grandma said it had been an accident. That he didn't know that the Rebel General infront of him had been his wife before it had happened. The war had seperated them. It had destroyed the good love that they had shared. There was no way he could have known.

It had been the first moment that I had ever realized that my father hadn't been a Jedi.

 

Great start, can't wait to see what you have coming next.

 

Wonderful! I can't wait for more!
