Beyond - Legends Dear Tam - Post Jedi AU Diary, How it Ended, and Began Again, (OC's/L -H/L- Complete)

LOL! I think that's a rite of childhood...

Oops! I'll fix that!

Yes - Agressive negotiations sometimes is the only option! And yes.. it is pretty weird!

Exactly!!

You bet!!

There's more on all this to follow!!!

Love you all!

Dear Tam,

I?m so tired, I feel like I haven?t slept in days! I keep having dreams that I don?t remember, and I?m all grouchy and stuff. Ben and the twins are the same way, and even Anakin and baby Auryn don?t seem to be feeling too good.

Ma-mere asked me if it was about ?some boy? and I told her definitely not (because I don?t even have a boy-friend) and suggested that if I don?t start feeling better soon that I should go see Gra-mere at the Healer?s center. Uncle Kay has gone back to Corellia for a little while with Uncle Toa and Nico, and said that he would come back ?once whatever they had found down there was sealed in duracrete and carbonite and blasted into the suns of Tatooine? ? whatever it was made him sick and all shakey, and Pay-pa said it would be done within the week as a lot of the Jedi felt the same way. It was a matter of getting it secured (he had to request some special equipment from off world, mining droids and stuff) and out safely.

In the meantime, a lot of Jedi are acting as guardians and stuff because despite Pay-pa?s declaration, a lot of students keep sneaking down to the lower levels, and when they?re caught, they don?t even seem to know why or how they got there, so they aren?t getting expelled, but everyone must have some escort if they don?t live here at all times between Lessons.

The guy they found down there is going to be transferred to a special place to live as the Healers can?t seem to help him! When he?s awake, all he does is rant in some language that no one understands, and acts like the light ? any light ? burns his skin!

Uncle Han and the other Healers are doing better ? for a couple days Uncle Han said he was ?feeling off,? ? I overheard him tell Pay-pa ?that some days he wanted to do nothing but either fight or (bad word)? and he had so much energy, it didn?t matter with who ? and that Auntie Leia and Uncle Chewie both wanted to ?knock the stuffing out of him? until he spend a few hours in the gym and then an even longer time just taking the Falcon out and blasting asteroids!

Pay-pa has spent a lot of time meditating and talking to the older Jedi that are here, while Ma-mere has been taking care of Auryn and trying to get in contact with some of the other Jedi who have visited but didn?t stay but have promised to help when we needed it, and boy, I think we do.

I?m gonna take Ben for a little walk I think.

Love,

Pem

 

Finally caught up...

Holy cow on someone breaking into the Archives.

Poor Pem, feeling rejected by Luda. I feel kind of bad for Luda in that scene as well, trying to "find herself" as Leia said and seeming to go about it entirely wrong. But it's harder for Pem being on the sidelines.

Loved Pem's response to how her clothes were going to attract people: "That's the idea" and that guys are too scared of Luke to mess with her anyway. Love Luke, as always.

 

Fascinating but pervasive emotional effect there--on all the Jedi--young or old, thoroughly trained or not. It even seems to effect the non-Force users. -- The sooner they lock that stuff away the better.

No, it couldn't be, could it? The bloke who's afraid of sunlight--he's not actually a vampire? Nah! That'd be too strange LOL

 

I'm glad Han is feeling somewhat better, although I can see why Leia is upset. Send him off to do some asteroid blasting; that will keep him busy! That whole thing is very creepy, how it's affecting everyone.... scary.

 

?that some days he wanted to do nothing but either fight or (bad word)? and he had so much energy, it didn?t matter with who ? and that Auntie Leia and Uncle Chewie both wanted to ?knock the stuffing out of him? until he spend a few hours in the gym and then an even longer time just taking the Falcon out and blasting asteroids!

Ouch... I just hope no tall, blonde and curvy "celebrity hunter" got to him while in that state - though that could explain Leia's and Chewie's anger...

 

Uh oh!

There is something very sinister going on here...



I hope Luke or someone is able to get rid of it and start focusing on how it got in the Temple in the first place.

Great update

 

Oh, weird... and that's a very, very effective way to get rid of something...

That was my first thought on reaching the part about the light sensitivity, but one doesn't have to BE a Vampire to be sensitive to light. Could be any number of things, including an allergy to light or his eyes just plain not being able to take it. IE: photophobia.


Good entry.

 

Hello all!

Glad to see you! Yes, Luda is going through her own little journey, and Pem is growing up ('Too fast' says Luke!)...

No, I wouldn't say a real 'Vampire' in the traditional sense (although it is almost Halloween, and this is a story, I don't see things ascending into the realm of complete fantasy!) - bad things are afoot...

Yes indeed!!!

No, Han's days of that kind of nonsense are far behind him...

Indeed....

Exactly!!!

Right - onward we go....

 

**

I dreamed of walking rocks and pirate ships,
And fiery sunsets, and storms on Naboo.

I hear my Pay-pa calling, and Ma-mere singing,
And my brothers giggling.

I see someone I don?t know, writing letters on a computer,
and I myself, laughing with my friends.

I can taste Gra-mere?s sweet-cakes,
And smell Auntie Leia?s pretty perfume.

It?s really dark here, and I miss it a lot.

Hello Tam,

I wonder if you missed me?

I am here, in my own warm bed at last, or at least a warm bed. I think it?s in the Healer?s center at the Temple, but it?s been all decorated like a pretty bedroom. I know it?s the Healer?s center, because my Pay-pa (who is asleep with my Ma-mere in his arms on a bed next to me) told me so.

I?m really stiff and achy, but I wanted to try and write a little before I go back to sleep for a bit. I?m sorry about all the mess that was entered ? I guess Pay-pa tried to access you to see if I had written anything that would help him find out what happened, but of course, there isn?t much ? just the bad dreams I (and I guess a few others) had.

I don?t know what happened Tam, after my walk. All I know is, I woke up here and I thought Ma-mere had brought Ben to see me, but it turned out to be Auryn (which is really strange as I don?t remember him being that big.)

Pay-pa says I have been very sick, but may be able to go home in a few days, and hopefully I can write to you more tomorrow as right now I can hear someone coming, and they probably see the light on by my bedside.

Love,

Pem

 

Wow! That was ... different and close!!! It's like Pem was sleepwalking ... it's like those strange influences have easier access through dreams which makes sense

Glad she's gonna be all right ... though Auryn being bigger could either mean a lot more time's passed or be a fluke/twist of foggy memory.

 

Oh, poor Pem!

Now I am most intrigued....what in the Force is going on?



I just hope she makes a full recovery.

Great update

 

I wonder... how long was she ill for?


Good entry.

 

Whoa. What the heck happened to Pem??? Poor thing, she's really been through it. My first thought was, one, a long coma if Auryn is bigger, or two, sleepwalking and visions. I hope it's the latter.

 

Finally all caught up! Sorry about that. I got sick and then my granddaughter arrived and I've been having TOO much fun spoiling her absolutely ROTTEN!

But it was great to catch up reading this wonderful story.

 

Odd, I know - But yes, time has slipped on by...

Thank you my dear - we'll let Pem speak for herself...

Quite some time, I believe...

Alas....

Boooo being sicky, but yay to having a little one!

Right, fair warning that some people may find the turn things take a little... not to their taste, and I'll leave it at that. To be fair, it IS Pem's story, and told from her perspective, and my early attempts to reign her in like a mom met with more than a fair share of resistance until I let the story be told as it was meant to be. This being said, I hope you will stick with us through the final 17 chapters -

Much love,

Breezy

Dear Tam,

They (the Healers) took out the tubes and stuff out of my arms so I can write a bit better today. I?ve had a lot of visitors! Uncle Han even said that it was like having someone alive to attend their own funeral service (and boy, did Auntie Leia scold him for that one!)

I guess I have been ?out of it? for a long time! Auryn, who was still on the breast last time I remember, and now he is trying to stand up by himself! Ben and the twins are starting second level nursery school(!?) and even Anakin has his basic Lessons! I guess what ever happened to me didn?t happen to Ben.


I have tried to think about what happened, and all it does is make my head hurt a lot, so Pay-pa is going to have me have some ?Healing Sessions? with Gra-mere ?when I?m ready?, but for now, I?m just glad to be around!

It was Uncle Kay (I don?t know when he came back from Corellia for sure, Ma-mere said it was almost as soon as he found out I was ?sick?) who told me that what ever it was is really gone forever and ever (and he looked SO old and tired! His hair is almost all white now!) - He seems to know a lot more about whatever ?it? was than anybody, and told me that it had made him very sick once. I have to tell you Tam, at first I was all scared that I had scars like he did, (I didn?t want to tell him but I think he knew because he gave me a glass to see myself, and the only thing that?s different is my hair is even shorter than it was! Like super short! I don?t like it this short because I think it makes my ears stick out, but he says it?s growing back fast.) He started to cry at first, saying that he should have stayed the moment they opened the vault and helped, and asked if I would ever forgive him, and I cuddled him really close and said that there was ?nothing to forgive? (boy Tam, I felt really grown up then!) But then the strangest thing happened. It?s hard to describe but I?ll try.

When I held Uncle Kay, I realized that it wasn?t just how he looked, but that he was older! I mean, a lot older! Somehow, when I was sick (and I must have been really super sick) he ?gave? me some of his years ? like Grey-pa Schurke had when he got sick like I did (but I didn?t understand why Uncle Kay lost his sight and I didn?t, but then I ?felt? that Uncle Kay had ?gone much deeper? somehow?)

I got scared and sad, because if I was right, that meant Uncle Kay will die sooner because of me, and I wanted to cry because that wasn?t fair, but Uncle Kay just held me and said that it was part of love, and that everyone wanted to give some, but he was the one who had too the most. Then he said it was like jump-starting a weak battery, and that he knew that I had already done so much of it myself already!

I wiped my eyes (and Uncle Kay gave me a tissue to wipe my nose that was all runny) and I asked him how I could have done it, because the only real mission I had been on with Pay-pa was where a whole lot of people died (on Darrus) and he called a couple holos to him (using the Force ? Uncle Kay can?t see but he can bring stuff to himself if he knows what it is he wants).

He told me to turn it on, and the first one was a holo of a bunch of people all dressed in work cloths and standing in a garden ? the garden here at the Temple! Some of them looked familiar but I didn?t know who they were. One of the ladies even was holding a baby in her arms who looked really little like it had only been born not too long ago.

?The baby is a little girl named ?Pemberian?,? he told me, and I giggled because of course that?s my name, and I haven?t heard it for anyone else yet! Then Uncle Kay said in a real soft voice, ?These are people who came from Darrus, Little Pilot. These are some of the people you and your Pay-pa saved??

I got all quiet then, and I asked Uncle Kay about the baby because none of the ladies who left were pregnant I tho

 

Wow! A very intriguing update.

 

Sorry for not replying to the last entry, Rick!

Awww, poor Pem - and poor Kay! (I can't believe I'm actually writing this )

Schurke would be so proud!

 

Am... wow. So not only was she out a long time, but... wow... Wow... Wow. There were people saved? Awesomeness. (And... yeah. I'll go with "wow" for now.)

There was so much here, the Darrus survivors, Luda, the kids being older, and the hints that she was out for more than six months...


Well done and wonderful entry. (And yes... As Golden said: poor, poor Kay.)

 

Oh my, she was out for that long?!? And she got some years from Uncle Kay... I don't know if you know the Biblical commentary of why Adam only lived 930 years instead of 1000. He gave 70 of his years to King David, who was destined to die at birth. King David lived 70 years.

Anyway, this was bittersweet, Pem is ok, but so much time has gone by, and Uncle Kay gave some of his life years to her.

 

WOW

I certainly hope Pem is well on her way to recovering, though it is so unfortunate it took Kay giving her some of his years...

WOW

Great update

 

Uncle Han seemed to enjoy fighting with the Healers way too much, even for him,
But I wonder why the healers went all weird.

Gosh it sounds like weird stuff is happening to everyone and poor Pem getting sick!!! What a lovely gift that Uncle Kay gave her....That's awesome. And it looks like Luda has come right. Very mysterious what happened to Pem though and all the others.

 

Loved the update. And you have to tell the story as the muse dictates! So count me along for the ride.

 

Hello all! New post on it's way!

Thank you!

No worries!

Wait! You feel Sorry for Kay??

Thank you my dear!

No - I didn't know of that particular commentary - but it is intriguing. My influence actually was the Halloween Tree by Bradbury - how some of the characters friends had given up some of their life force to save a friend -

Thank you!

Oh yes - but I assure you that things all come out in the wash -

Onward!
