Hey all! I orginally posted this on my sister's account, but now that I have my own, I decided to transfer it. Hope you enjoy. :)
Tahiri Veila gazed intently at Anakin's lightsaber. The familiar weapon brought back so many memories, playing with him as a child, Anakin rescuing her from the Yuuzhan Vong shapers, their last conversation before his death . . .
Take the wave now and know that you're free
Turn your back on the land, face the sea
Face the wind now, so wild and so strong
When you think of me, wave to me and send me a song
Anakin was a hero. He gave up his life so that others could be free. For so long Tahiri had not been able to accept his sacrifice.
Don't look back when you reach the new shore
Don't forget what you're leaving me for
Don't forget when you're missing me so
Love must never hold, never hold tight, but let go
She always loved Anakin. When she was a child she had loved him as a friend, then as she grew older she loved him a young woman, and even though he was dead, she would go on loving him her whole life. But, she had moved on; no longer was she drowning in grief. Tahiri had finally managed to bury her hatred of the Yuuzhan Vong.
Oh, the nights will be long when I'm not in in your arms
But, I'll be in this song that you sing to me
Across the sea, somehow, someday
You'll be far away, so far from me
And maybe one day I will follow you in all that you do
Till then, send me a song
Anakin's death had made her become closer with the Solos. Jacen once told her that she was part of their family. This was probably true. Leia and Jaina helped so much in helping Tahiri with sharing her body with the Riina, the Yuuzhan Vong personality that was crafted in her. Han was the closest person she had as a father.
When the sun sets the water on fire
When the winds swells the sails of your hire
Let the call of the bird on the wind
Calm your sadness and loneliness
And then start to sing to me
I will sing to you
If you promise to send me a song
Now Tahiri was ready to start a new life. She managed to convince Master Skywalker to let her travel on Zonoma Sekot. The war with the Yuuzhan Vong had ultimately ended in the Galactic Alliance's (a/n or New Republic?) favor . The tattooed warriors agreed to stay on Zonoma while the living planet moved back to the Unknown Regions.
I walk by the shore and I hear
Hear your song come so faint and so clear
And I catch it, a breath on the wind
And I smile and sing you a song
I will send you a song
I will sing you a song
I will sing to you
If you promise to send me a song.
Life was good.
It's been a long time since I've read Star Wars books. I hope there are no mistakes.
Thanks! :)
