Sorry I haven't replied in a while, Yoda. Kinda fell into Lurker more there for a bit. blush

Like Rew, I love the little ways you're showing Jacen coming back from the dark side. No more Caedus sneers or glares.

Most certainly sign me up for the sequel. And, just for the record, I wouldn't mind at all if you just announced that Tarfang was killed trying to escape. You know, no need for him to actually appear in the story then. wink mischief angel

Awesome! grin

I've loved this since the beginning, and I HATE that you left me there, but I'm so excited to see it continue. dancing

thinking Interesting that Jaina picked up the "torch" of the last true light of the Jedi there at the end. mischief

Random thought: Is Jacen going to get less Sithly as he works with Jaina to stop evil!Anakin? Kind of like the better he looks, the closer he is to redemption in the Force? thinking

Thanks for the wicked story Wes! Looking forward to the PM in the spring! cool Any gross medical inspiration, you know where I'm at... laugh

I have one thing to say: this is awesome. I sat down and told myself that I had to read it after just the first post. And I couldn't stop until I got to the end. I absolutely loved this story, and this is better, in my opinion, than a whole lot of the stuff I've read in the EU since the Dark Nest Trilogy was released. It even had Anakin in it! Albeit evil, but that just makes me want to know how it happened and what's going to happen next! PM me for the sequel, please?

Great ending to a great story. Cannot wait for the sequel and I wonder how Jaina and Jacen will get to Anakin! I loved it and I guess now I should go back and read your other series while waiting for the sequel!

Bravo on a job well done!

This was a great fic and I can't wait for the sequel. Maybe when you are finished with it, I can convince you to write that "Anakin, Tahiri, Jaina and Jag go to the Legacy era" time-travel fic I want you to write so much. wink

Cheers and many thanks for writing this excellent work. It was a pleasure to read it and I can only hope you'll stay many years with us, to regale us with more of your fantastic stories!

Wizardy Devil

I would feel worse for Adam Sandler.

No no … Sandler’s role is played by her one true love, Tarkin tongue
He can then suffer through being not recognized as her lover silly

We don't really know. It's either something he picked up on Tenupe or something Alema gave him?

*pokes* you better clear that up tongue

Han's life would not be complete without suffering Threepio.

laugh of course!!!

Only drunker, crazier, and less capable tongue

ROFLMAO!!

Excellent point...

thinking



Epilogue: The Need Arises

That causes more questions than anything tongue
*pokes*
Don’t keep us waiting all too long with the next part wink

Buried amongst the clusters of white stars sparkling through the void was a tiny, glaring flash of light—had anyone been watching, the short burst was all they would have seen of its arrival. The starfighter was as black as the abyss blanketing its fiberplast surfaces, its matte finish all but erasing it from the eyes of the galaxy. It reflected no starlight, showed not a glint of silver dancing off its wingtips or shimmer of heat from its hull armor. Even the efflux of its fusial engines burned so darkly that it was invisible in space.

shock wow awesome image here!!!!!

But no one saw the flash of hyperspace reversion.

No one on the little green planet was even looking.

The question is if the little flash would have even been noticed from the surface thinking

A web of black scars was slashed through the green of one hemisphere, reaching out and raking the planet's face like the crooked branches of a cold, barren tree. The scars and dark pits gave way to great swaths of black where acres and acres of forest had been scorched to ash, and what life had been there was long gone.

Hell! What have they done to this once beautiful planet ... it will take hundreds of years that the scorches vanishes with new grown trees.

Two years later, swirls of ash could still be seen above the trees, kicked up by Kashyyyk's winds and hanging over the desolation in a pall of smoke.

Oh wow shock

She wanted it to hurt.

Selfpunishment? raised_brow

There, on the branch in front of the memorial was a small silver object resting in a blackened groove.

Jaina bent down and wrapped her fingers around the grip before lifting the hilt from the hole her father had burned so many years ago, and rising. She studied the weapon for a moment, her dark eyes gliding over the heavy, rounded pommel, ridged handgrip, power cell housing, crystal field generator, adjust knob and activator, and the emitter ring at its peak, as memories flooded her mind. It was a well-constructed weapon that still gleamed after more than a decade exposed to the elements.

Came she here to see if Anakin fetched his weapon? To see if it is still resting there as would the previous events never have happened?
A reminder of old and happy times ... when the Solo children were just that, children even though they never were just children.

She held her breath as she thumbed on the activator. A violet beam of energy flashed out with a loud snap-hiss that sent a flock of birds flapping away with irritated shrieks. Jaina didn't even notice, so lost in the white light and purple mist as the lightsaber blade hummed loudly in her ears, the violet light dancing in her eyes like smoldering embers.

Does she take it with her, to replace her own weapon?

"You're going to need my help, you know?"

And who might that be? Another lost brother?

The spirit nodded and turned back the way Jaina had come, walking down the long fallen branch of Chewbacca's memorial. Jaina tightened her grip around Anakin Solo's lightsaber and strode after Jacen.

She took it with her grin

Together, they disappeared into the trees.

Somehow strange to walk with a spirit silly


I want to know how this continues.
*scowls at herself* Why do I not keep to reading when it is all done and wrapped up tongue Now I’ve to wait to see what happens with Wobbler, Jag, Anakin, what Jacen is up to in the end, Daala and all others.
*sighs*

Anyhow despite the loooong ( tongue ) wait ahead

AWESOME!!
You’re a fantastic writer and story teller applause
A true wizard of words!




Also, a big thank you to Maggy for the awesome cover. I think it's my favorite.

And Hush! It’s a pleasure to work with you on covers! grin

I absolutely love this. Despite everything they've been through, and everything that's ahead of them, there's a little glimmer of light and hope, and that's enough for now.

star_writer: Sweet!

Glad you liked it happy Thanks for reading and replying!






Rew: Awesome ending!

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it happy

And it looks like Jacen may be gradually finding redemption after all. His eyes are still yellow, but there is no longer the sneer--and his spirit is not restricted to dark side places anymore, apparently.

Yeah, there seems to be some sincerity showing through, and I guess we know now that his motivations throughout the fic were sincere. Unless there's some horrible twist coming tongue

As for dark side restrictions, it may be that Jacen can appear there because the horrible things he did to Kashyyyk have created a dark side nexus there. whistling


Also, I loved Jaina channeling her inner Vong, embracing the pain!

Heh. Some physical strain can be theraputic.

But yeah, beautiful ending, what with Chewbacca's memorial (taking us all the way back to Vector Prime) and especially Anakin's lightsaber. I wonder what role that weapon will play in the sequel? Perhaps it will bring memories back to Lord Yammka?

Maybe. Jaina needed a new lightsaber and it seems fitting for her to take that one up now. I don't know if it's clear, but that's why she's holding the violet lightsaber on the cover.

The most refreshing thing about this post (and the fic as a whole) is seeing Jacen and Jaina on the same side again, doing the right thing together. We haven't had that in pro-fic for a while.

That was really my motivation for writing this. I wanted some peace there and to make them work together again.

Can't wait for the sequel! Have you decided on a title yet?

I haven't! If anyone has suggestions for a title for the sequel, feel free to post it or PM me. I am horrible at coming up with them.

Thanks so much for reading and replying grin





Celsete: Awesome.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

And thanks for reading and replying grin






maplecroix: I've totally been a lurker throughout this, but I've followed it from the very beginning, and love it.

Well, it's nice to meet you happy I'm glad you enjoyed the story.

My favorite fic on the boards

Thank you blush

I'd love to be on the PM list for the sequel whenever it comes into being.

Will do peace Might be six months or more before it starts, but I promise I'll get to it.

I love how you're using Jacen, btw. I hope we get to see more of him~

We will definitely be seeing a lot more of Jacen in the sequel. mischief

Thanks again for reading and replying grin






GMK: loved the ending and the first half of the story.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it happy

sign me up to receive PMs of the sequel.

Will do peace

Thanks so much for reading all of this and replying grin

And also thanks for sharing the "Tales of the Hunter" throughout. I really enjoyed those.






Draconarius: Sorry I haven't replied in a while, Yoda. Kinda fell into Lurker more there for a bit.

No need to apologize it. I appreciate it whenever you can reply.

Like Rew, I love the little ways you're showing Jacen coming back from the dark side. No more Caedus sneers or glares.

He's still in Chaos, but maybe there's a path for redemption for Jacen. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Most certainly sign me up for the sequel.

Cool beans cool Glad to have you aboard.

And, just for the record, I wouldn't mind at all if you just announced that Tarfang was killed trying to escape. You know, no need for him to actually appear in the story then.

laugh

I'll keep that in mind.

Sequel spoiler: I don't see that happening though. mischief

Thanks again for reading and replying grin

I know Yoda will probably pounce on this anyway, but what the heck: the second half didn't quite do it for you, then?

I would have been fine with him only liking the first half tongue






G__Anakin: Great job!

Thanks!

After reading this, I can't wait to see the epilouge for LotD.

As is usually the case with that series, the epilogue to LotD will be significantly longer tongue But there will be some big surprises in there too.

Thanks again for reading and replying! grin






Cyn: Whew...
Awesome!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

I've loved this since the beginning, and I HATE that you left me there, but I'm so excited to see it continue.

There are a lot of cliffhangers, but this was always the natural ending for this fic (to me). I promise we'll pick up with everything in the next story and all the plot threads will get a more definitive end when that is completed.

Interesting that Jaina picked up the "torch" of the last true light of the Jedi there at the end.

She is the "Sword" after all. When he put it there, Han said, "Should the need ever arise, it can be withdrawn by someone as virtuous as yourself, Chewbacca."

Random thought: Is Jacen going to get less Sithly as he works with Jaina to stop evil!Anakin? Kind of like the better he looks, the closer he is to redemption in the Force?

Could be. I guess we'll have to wait and see thinking

Thanks for the wicked story Wes!

Thank you blush

Looking forward to the PM in the spring! Any gross medical inspiration, you know where I'm at...

Yeah, I'll keep you in mind laugh Might need your help with a LotD scene now that I think about it...

Thanks for reading and replying grin

Wow, thank you so much blush I'm glad you enjoyed the story, and thanks for taking the time to read the whole thing.

It even had Anakin in it! Albeit evil, but that just makes me want to know how it happened and what's going to happen next!

Answers to both of those questions will be in the next story mischief There will be a lot more Anakin as well.

PM me for the sequel, please?

Will do peace Thanks for the interest and thanks again for reading and replying grin






Master_Jaina1011: Great ending to a great story.

Thank you!

Cannot wait for the sequel and I wonder how Jaina and Jacen will get to Anakin!

It's a good question. I guess we'll have to wait and see thinking

I loved it and I guess now I should go back and read your other series while waiting for the sequel!

That would be a lot of work tongue Most of those stories are very, very long.

Bravo on a job well done!

Thanks so much and thanks for reading all of this and replying happy





Flow-Walker: A wonderful end to a wonderful story!

Thank you blush I'm glad you liked it.

I need to know what happens next . PMs for the sequel please.

Okay. Hopefully all your questions will be answered in the next story.

Thanks so much for reading and replying grin





TSF: Really like the idea of Jacen working on his redemption and helping Jaina. Nice!

Can you put me on the PM list for the sequel?

Absolutely!

Looking forward to it!

Thank you so much and thanks for reading another one of my stories and replying grin





shahid_chestro: WOW!!! short chapter but a great ending....

Thanks. I think it worked better with not a lot to it.

the interaction between Jacen and Jaina was short and spot on. great characterization.

Thank you very much blush I'm glad you think I got it right.

i really hope that we see more of Jacen in the sequel and that he gains redemption.

We will definitely be seeing a lot more of him in the next story. As for redemption... You'll have to wait and see whistling

and ofcourse i want a PM.

Magnuskn: Wobbler has been used as cyborg parts for Tarfang, calling it now. And he is still aware and always only can voice dismay at Tarfangs violent outbursts, mwahaha.

laugh

A cyborg Tarfang would be pretty awesome laugh Tarfang with Wobbler's voice would be even better, particularly if he had to insult people in a nice way tongue

This was a great fic and I can't wait for the sequel.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Maybe when you are finished with it, I can convince you to write that "Anakin, Tahiri, Jaina and Jag go to the Legacy era" time-travel fic I want you to write so much.

Maybe thinking

Someone was asking about an A/T challenge here. I think that would be a really cool challenge to see what people would come up with if you want to suggest it. I know I'd read them.

Cheers and many thanks for writing this excellent work. It was a pleasure to read it and I can only hope you'll stay many years with us, to regale us with more of your fantastic stories!

Aw, thanks, man blush It's an honor to have you reading them peace I should be around for at least another year and a half to finish that other series I'm writing tongue

Thanks for reading another one of my stories and replying grin





Maggy: you better clear that up

I'll try.

wow awesome image here!!!!!

Thanks!

Hell! What have they done to this once beautiful planet ... it will take hundreds of years that the scorches vanishes with new grown trees.

Jacen did it sad

Selfpunishment?

Something like that tongue

Came she here to see if Anakin fetched his weapon? To see if it is still resting there as would the previous events never have happened?

No, she came to retrieve the weapon for herself.

A reminder of old and happy times ... when the Solo children were just that, children even though they never were just children.

Yeah, that's true.

Does she take it with her, to replace her own weapon?

Yep.

*scowls at herself* Why do I not keep to reading when it is all done and wrapped up Now I’ve to wait to see what happens with Wobbler, Jag, Anakin, what Jacen is up to in the end, Daala and all others.

I'm pretty sure this ending left me with more questions than answers. I'm more inclined to call it an intermission. happy
But it looks like from your note my questions will be answered in time. I look forward to the next installment. If you do a PM list for when the story starts up again, please include me. This has been a fun ride.
