"Numquam dic numquam" or "Never Say Never" UPDATED 6/24

Hey, I'm writing this new fanfic. It's my second one so don't be too hard on me.

First, anything pertaining to Star Wars belongs to Lucas no money is being made by this story.

Secondly,the title is Latin. Numquam dic numquam means never say never in English. I choose a Latin title because I think the language sounds cool.

Third, Jaina is the main character point of view, but other characters will be telling the story. To make the story more interesting.

Finally, this story takes place inbetween RD and RS, but RS occurs during the story and thus the story becomes post RS.

I hope you guys enjoy. The first part of the story will be up soon. Thanks.

Hmmm... the title intrigued me.

Technically, "Numquam dicit numquam" is "He/she never says never." "Never say never" would be "Numquam dic numquam."

Sorry to be a little critical- I have a Latin final exam coming up, and I've been studying.

I'll be sure to take a look at this story when the first part's up!

 

Here's the first part-

The blorash jelly that was secured around his wrists throbbed. The pain was terrible, but he had already lived through months of this torture. He knew they wouldn?t kill him.

They couldn?t.

They wanted to sacrifice him. The only thing stopping them was that they didn?t have his twin as well.

His brown hair hung over his eyes now. He moved his head so the long bangs wouldn?t cover his vision. His sight and hearing were the only things allowing him to know when his captors were coming. The Force wasn?t his aid in this battle.

It hadn?t been since the war had started.

The enemy, the Yuuzhan Vong, was a blank in the Force. His one great weapon, he thought as his kid brother would have said, wasn?t all-powerful anymore. To Jacen Solo the Force was an aid to help in keeping justice; a tool. At least that?s what he used to think. Now, he wasn?t sure what he thought of the Force. He had vowed to not use it at one time and look where that got him.

His mother and sister almost died and he was the most sought after Jedi by the enemy. Now he was being held captive and being rescued seemed bleak.

 

You're right. Haven't had Latin in a couple of weeks and look what happens. Oh well. Liked your sig, Ty-gon.

Here's the 2nd part


It had killed him when he was told what he had to do.

To allow every person sensitive to the Force to believe he was dead. This was more for the safety of his twin sister, Jaina. He knew the pain that she had gone through when Anakin died. He had sensed her falling into darkness and then she was a void to him.

The place that had always been Jaina was blank. He feared for her. He knew that she would be coming for him and she would stop at nothing to get him back. That was the type of person she was naturally, but if she had turned to the dark side, like he feared, then her vengeance would be cruel. Not for him, but for the Vong and for herself.

That?s why he did it.

To stop Jaina. He wasn?t sure how to do it, but she taught him secretly. If the Vong knew her true allegiance, she would be spared a warrior?s death, and killed as Miko was. He was surprised at first, but somehow it felt right to him. He should have known it all along, but she was good at hiding it. She had for half a century almost. He knew what she was when she had cried for him. He knew instantly why she had.

She knew of the pain that would come.

 

I guess nobody likes my story.

Yes, we do, JediWarriorYoda. Just be patient, and post when you can. Your readers will post when we can, too.

Great post, by the way.

 

Your right. I should be patient. Here's the next post. I'm going away for the weekend. Maybe there'll be some responses to my story by late Sunday. Please!!

---------------------------------------------

Vegere had taught him many things in the months that he was held captive by the Yuuzhan Vong. She was a wizened, old Jedi Knight dating to the days before his grandfather. Besides teaching him in the Force, she had told him many things about the Jedi of the past, the living Force, and about the family he didn?t know.

The family, she saw grow into the menace it had become.

She had told him of how she had escaped death from the very hands of his grandfather. She was one of incredible strength for her size and demeanor; like Master Yoda.

It was at her bidding that he closed himself off from the Force. Allowing everyone to believe him to be dead.

It was for the better. This way Jaina wouldn?t risk her won life to save him.

He knew that if she were still out there fighting for the light, then one day he would be saved. He only wished that he could know for sure if she hadn?t turned to the dark side: to know that she was still a part of him and him a part of her.

And that?s when he allowed himself to open up to the Force. It was an unconscious move on his part. His thoughts and concerns for his sister had provoked him to turn to what he knew best; to what he had set aside to save her.

There.

In the place that was comfortable and was truly Jaina, he sensed her presence blazing with intensity and purity.

Satisfied with his findings, he closed himself off as quickly as he had opened himself up.

 

I'm back. If someone would respond to my story I'll be inclined to post again. In case any of you were wondering I had a good time out of town this weekend. I went to Freshmen Orientation at my college.

?Jacen,? she said- barely a whisper- as she shot up from her cot.

She had felt him in the Force. She had felt him reaching out to her. Calling her, but not for help. He was concerned for her.

He had every right to be. The last time he had seen her she was hurling Force lightening at Vong warriors. Her breathing became erratic and rapid. ?He?s not alive. He can?t be,? she murmured to herself.

Every Jedi aboard the Trickster and everywhere around the galaxy had felt the death of her brother, except her. The last time she had seen her brother she had been on the path towards the dark side.

She had overcome the rancors of grief that had caused her to slip, and she was in the healing process. At times, she still felt the need to avenge her brothers? deaths, but she had learned over time to control these urges. She was learning not to let her feeling get the better of her.

She pushed towards the presence she had felt of her brother. She searched for the spot that was reserved for Jacen in the Force, but he was gone. His brief presence was like a super nova bursting in the Force.

She opened herself up to the Force, allowing herself to become one with it.
