"Mom, will you tell us a story?" An adorable chubby cheeked six year old girl asked as she and her sister were being tucked into bed.
"Okay sweetie. Which one do you want?" The mother replied as she handed a stuffed rancor to her younger daughter.
"How about the one about how our family got started?" The six year old asked excitedly sitting up in bed, her stuffed Nexu falling to the floor.
"Okay. It was a very long time ago. Our many many times great grandmother who was a master thief..." The mother began only to be interrupted by her four year old daughter.
"Like Grandma?" The four year old asked.
"Yes, but much much better than grandma." The mother replied. "Now where was I, oh yes, our many times great grandmother who was a master thief was very lonely and hadn't found anybody that she could love."
"Why?" The six year old asked.
"Because, all of the men she thought she loved tried to use her to steal stuff for them." The mother said as she picked up the dropped Nexu and handed it to her daughter. "But one day, all of that changed. She saw a man in a black cloak who was everything she wanted. He was strong, powerful, wealthy, and lived in a gigantic fortress that was easier to break into than a public 'fresher. His name was Darth Bane" The mother paused to take a small sip of water from the glass on the table.
"That night, our many times great grandmother snuck into the fortress, stole into Darth Bane's bedroom, and took a treasure that was worth much more to her than the largest firegem in the galaxy." The mother said as she continued her story.
"What was it?" The six year old asked sleepily.
"It was a baby girl. Our many times great grandmother had taken Bane's greatest treasure. From then on, our family line has been called Banes" The mother said as she retucked her eldest daughter and turned out the light. "Good night my little ones."
