FEW MONHTS AFTER THE LUKE SKYWALKERS TEMPLE DESTRUCTION. LONG TIME BEFORE THE FORCE AWAKING .
Location:Mandalor. The Desert planet where you can find the best warriors in the galaxy. After the Galaxtic Civil War mandalorians began to rebuild their homeland. Not only in shape but also in the spirit. New Republic Senat send a help to rebuild the cities and economy. After that, Mandalor again become a mighty planet with good goverment, stong economy and the best army in this side of the Galaxy.
Even thought that Master Brigder usually is on Lothal in his home with his whole family and work with his own padawans in his small Jedi Temple, he still , from time to time, travel across the Galaxy, doing his Jide duties. But after everything what happened with the Temple, padawans and the First Order, he stopped fight, for now He and his family needed a time, and some of them still need. That was long time since he last time used his weapons on a battlefields in the last few months, he was doing more peacefyll missions like political meetings, official banquests, sometimes he was a pilitical advisor, you know, the Jedi official stuff. Now he was send on Mandalore to teach yound mandalorians these kind of stuff like emotion control, philophy, history etc. 'jedi stufff'. Using an opportunity, Sabine decide that she would do some important mando/style job for the Great Mandalor, Bo Katana The Rightfull.
Ezra, who could not be more busy than already is, always was taking his children with him,-to make sure that they are save- but when he couldn't take all of his children, he was usually sending them to some members of his rebel family. Sabine knew that Ezra was still worry that Be-That is Kylo Ren, still his hunting them and these ''family mission' are not for children but for him. It wasn't easy, but she finally convince him to give their kids a choice where they want to go this time.
Jonah - the youngest and only son, who now is 10 year's old, went to Courusant with his grandfather who promised to show him some of the oldest and the most famous paintings and arts in the Galaxy. Even if Alrich is not a warrior -probably the only mandalarian man who isn't in this decade- Ursa never was sending him anywhere without their personal security guards. 10 supercomandos was enought to convince Ezra that Johan will be save with Alrich on Courusant.
Rona -second daughter- turned 12 not soo far ago. She also was thinking that she should go with granddad, bu as much as she love art and her brother, she knew that she will not stand her brother and granddads talks about the ancient artist,arts and paitings methods. They can talk about that, for hours. No Rona choosed to spend some time with her friends and grandmother on Krownest. Here Ezra agreed at once. After these years, Krownest become their second favorite place and Usra could easly protect Rona herself, even without an army of mandalorian warriors on the planet. The only child who went with Ezra and Sabine on Mandalore was their oldest daughter, who is exactly like her mother and father in her age, and she is who this story is about.(Mainly).
There was already very late and quiet night in the Capital city. Everyone were in their homes already asleep. Well almost everyone. In the family major of the Wren Clan, someone had another plans for tonight. In the shadows was waiting for a good ocassion a woman with dark mask on her. When she make sure that no one have seen her, she jumped out from the window and which great grace landed without a single sound in the major's garden. Then she hid behind o of the garden's trees and again make sure if anyone was in sight. Good for her, the garden was empty, she choosed to sneak out after a midnight so that was natural that anyone was awake but she know from experience that even the best plan may go wrong.
After a short time of just watching and waiting for someone, she was sure that no one was coming and quickly ran to the wall. The entire major was surrounded by a 8 foot hight wall who was making it difficult to sneak in or out from the major for anyone, but not for a mandalorian warrior with a jetpack. She know that jetpack are loud and it may wake up everyone in the area, it no a special modification she made with her sister and uncles. She used her jetpack, to just jump over, not fly over the wall, just in case if jetpack still make too much noises. When she landed on the ground, she quickly turned around and looked at the majo windows. All lights were still of and it did not looked like someone was awake.
,,When my daughter steals her mother's old jetpack and escap from home, should I be proud or mad?'' asked man's voice on her right side. She quicky and with big fear in heart turned right and saw an adult man with dark blue hair, an old scar near his nose and right eye, two small scars on his left cheek, dressed in black nightgown and long nighth pants. Standing in front to her, with croseed arms and which deadly serious look in his face. Not that he wasn't expecting her to sneak out tonight.
,,Dad?"she asked confused and scared with eyes wide open, taking a step back, not quit sure what she should do now.
,,Maybe both?'' A woman's voice asked from behind. She turned around and saw an adult woman which orange-red hair, longer on the right side of her head, dressed in night purple gown, long to the knees. With hands on her hips and with assumed look on her face.
,,Mom? Someone don't know that I'm escaping tonight?'' She asked suprised and irritated. Before anyone could say anythign, she heard that something was walking on the wall above her. She looked up at the wall's top and saw old Lothal-cat sitting on the wall's top looking at her with wide smile on her face.
,,Tala? You too?" she asked her friend and old Lothal-cat nodded smiling soo wide that her teets could be in see in the darkness of the night.
,,You think we weren't youngt? Beside I can feel you emotion when you try to escape from home." Ezra said in his low voice tone again remainding Mira that having a Force sensiteve and overprotecting father is a bit problematic for a teenegers.
,,Yes. This, and your friend's mum called us and she said that you will be safe on the trip to Concordia.'' Sabine said a bit amussed and destroying Ezra's plan of showing how big control he have over Mira. The girl took mask off from her face and looked at her parents which big puppy eyes.
,,Mom. Dad. Please. Let me go on this trip." she said which big eye's and her most beseeching voice.
,,We talked about that. Kylo Ren still is there and he is waiting for your mistake. As long as you are on the New Republic's planets surface he and the First Orders can not try to hurt you and Rona until a war. Beside that. Before you again will travel across the galaxy on your own, you must to finish your Jedi training." Ezra said very seriously. He was telling this kind of things a lot times now. He still have to reminding his children that the Galaxy is not a safe place anymore for them. At least it was this what he was thinking.
,,But Dad. I don't want to start a crusade against Kylo Ren and the First Order. I want only go back to this what I was doing before Ben betreyed us. Beside that. We are Jedi. We should make a peace in the Galaxy like granpa Kanan and Dawn. Not sitt on our butt in some majors ,wating for a war. And Mom. We are mandalorian's .We should traveling across the galaxy and fight which a pirates and slave hunters, like grandma and uncel Tristan."Mira said first looking at her father trying to look cute and innocent, then at her mother changing her voice to speak with nothing else but pride, strong and inspirational. She was litelary trying all her trick she managet to have on her parents.
,,Do you remember what Ashoka told you about fight?'' Ezra asked raising his eyebrown waiting for Mira to say what she was told multiple times because of her fight habits. She took a deep breath and groaned in irritation. She hate this part of beeing Jedi sometimes.
,,'Jedi should not be happy because of fight which enemies. But from the facts that his fight is making a peace in the Galaxy'." It was words of Ashoka Tano. Gray Jedi, her aunt who was and still is like Jedi master for Mira, was telling every younglish padawan in the Kana's Jedi Temple.
,,Exactly. And about it you will be meditate in your room." Ezra said not sounding like he was in the mood to this discussion with his daughter any more, at least not tonight where everyone can hear and see them standing on the street arguing in their pyjamas.
,,But Daddd ..."
,,There is no ,buts Mira. Take Tala and go back to your room before you will wake up an entire planet." Ezra cutt Mira off first poiting his right hand at Mira then at the house gates. Mira's reaction at Ezra's statement as least childrish. She groaned in anger and she stamped loudly before going closer to the wall. Then she waited for old and a bit scared Lothal-cat to jump off from the wall. Tala was watching Mira for a moment, then Ezra and Sabine a bit sad that their family is again fighting with each other, but at least she jumped onto Miras hands and cuddled herself into Mira's uniform.
,,Don't think I will forgive your betrayal so easy Tala." Mira said when she wrapped her hands around Tala returned to the villa by the front gates this time. Ezra and Sabine were waiting and watching to make sure that Mira will not try to sneak up again. When they heard lould slammed of the main house doors they knew that Mira was in her room. Ezra sighed heavily at Mira's childrish reaction when Sabine only snorted a bit at Ezra's own reaction. Then she walked to him, grabbed his hand and walked with him back to their home.
After a short moment Mira was in her and Rona's room and Ezra and Sabine were in their bedroom. Ezra was sitting on the bed bottom left corner with his hand on both side of his head, when Sabine was lying under the white blanked on her bed side. There were doing nothing for a moment. Just sitting/lying in the silence. Ezra was mainly thinking about Mira and this that she still is seeking for revenge and that it is a problematic for her not only as a Jedi, but also as a mandalorian and Resistance soldier. Mira always was hot-tempted and sometimes a bit agressive, it already are dangerous characteristics for a Jedi, but revenge is changing people, especially a force sensitive people, Ezra know it even too well.
Sabine on the other hand was thinking more about Ezra. She know that he want good, he is doing everything for Mira, to keep her safe, alive and on the good side of the force. But she also see that he is trying that hard, that soon or later Mira will try to do something agains the Jedi Code just prove something to Ezra. She know too well how it is working, she had the smae problems with her mother. And we all know what effects that had.
,Where did we go wrong when we were raising her?" Ezra asked not souding really serious, more like something between a poor joke and tired parent tone, looking at the floor.
,, Oh please. She is just a teeneger. Don't you remember what we were doing when we were in her age?"Sabine asked chuckling softly and Ezra foolins guestion. Ezra raised head up and but his hands at his knees. Then he stared thinking about his teenegers years and he could not laught a bit.
,,I didn't wanted to leave Lothal. I wanted stay and be a charming thief. Mira on the other hand is doing everything just to fly into the space. Maybe you didn't tell me everything about you and your 'Bounty Hunter's' adventures?''he asked jokingly thinking at Mira could at all take more from Sabine than she take from him. Sabine just giggle in respond, crawled close to him and wrapped her arms around his stomach and laid her head on his right shoulder.
,,I always said that she needs discipline. But always where I tried, I hear: ,,Dad, can you help me which my meditation?'',''Dad, can you show me again these lightsabers forms?" Sabine reminded him smiling widely and speaking in her best 5 yeard old Mira voice trying hard to not laught between the words.
,,Right. But where I tried to teach her the Jedi Code and philosophy, I heard: 'Mum, can you help me which my armor?', 'Mom, can you help me which my art?', or my favorite, 'Mom. Tonight my friends are making a small party. But I have a Jedi training. Can you speak with Daddy about it?" Ezra reminded her in his own best Miras voice, but he wasn't trying to stop his laught and after a while Sabine joined to him. They were laughting by a while, but when they laugh died down, they were again sitting in the silnece, holding each other.
,,Ok. We are equally guilty. But you still forget about..'' Sabine was trying to say her idea of solving this problem.
,,No." Ezra cut her off already knowing what she wants to say and not liking this idead even a bit.
,, My Mother will teach her self discipline. And now Rona is making her armor with her on Krownest. Mira always was working better when Rona was close. She will touch her how.." Sabine was still speaking ignoring Ezras last word and trying to persuade him but she was again cut off by him.
,,How to be a better mandalorian warrior. She doesn't need next lesson about that. She already is a good warrior. Maybe little too good. She need lesson about self-control, emotion control, and how to distinguish Jedi way from the Sith way. She need..." Ezra was trying to say his own idead, but
,,No" This time Sabine cut him off not wanting to heard this again. She get used to the Jedi ways, she really do, but sometimes it is too much for her, not as a warrior, but as a mother who is just afraid of losing her child.
,,Sabine. Times have changed. Jedi rule have changed. I will take her to Dagobah. With Kanan and Dawn. She will return to us like from Jedi training when she was 10 years old" Ezra said calmly and softly trying to convince her. He undestrand why she is againt his idea, but he think that it is the best choise they have.
,, I know. But if we will send her to the Dagobah, We maybe will see her back tomorrow, or after week, or after a few years. Who know what Galen Marek will see in her. What if he will decide that she need to stay with him and with his son on Dagobah and never come back to us?"Sabine asked looking into Ezra's eyes as much as she could, ounding really worried. She has a point in this, he too was worried. Master Galen was one of the most powerfull Jedi in the Galaxy, but he still can't control him emotion in a radom situations. It's reason why he almost always is on the Dagobah with Kanan and few Jedi in the small Temple where was Master Yodas home. After years fighting for siths, he know now how to see the Dark Side in everything, why he alsmost never leave Dagobah, because he still is a Sith a bit when he is fighting. If he will see the Dark Side in Mira, he will not ask about her opinion, he will force her to stay on Dagobah as long as she will not lear control. What doesn't solve their problem a bit.
,,But we have to do something which her ,,temperament". Everything was a lot easier before...Ben... Everything has change. Before the Tempel Mira was more...racional...calm and peacefull. Now she is impulsive, aggressive, rude and scared. She is like..." Ezra stopped, but not beause he wanted to say something bad, more like he wanted to say something he is ashame of.
,,...Like you in her age." Sabine finished his sentence for him, and Ezra nooded. Ezra was still blaming himself, for something, he always was blaming himself for something, only question for Sabine now is to know about what he is blaming himself now. He always was thinking that bad things happened because of him. He could never undertand that sometimes bad things happen with no reasons, sometimes they just happen.
,,Do you remember how often I had a problems, how often I almost get killed?" Ezra asked looking at the floor, not sounding any longer like adult Jedi master, but more like the good old lothal kid.
,,Ezra. Mira was fighting before Ben and the Tempel. I know that you are not worry about fight and battles. You are worry, that Mira may turn to the Dark Side." Sabine said when she hug Ezra tighter. That was the problem, we all know it, it was this what wakes Ezra up every night, this that he screwed something up and it's only matter of time, when Mira turn dark.
,,Negative emotions, Rage, Fury, Fear and Reveng. It is what was leading me to the Dark Side. And I almost falled. You know that Mira was lying to us. She want a revenge. She want to fight Ben, maybe even kill him. I don't blame her. But I and Luke... we were his masters and he become a Sith. What if he becomoe a Sith because of us, what if Mira is too much like...me?"Ezra asked still loking at sounding like on the edge of depression. Before he could say smething more he get a light punch on arm from Sabine, not too strong to hurt him very much, but also not soo weak to don't feel that.
,,That is a Bantha-shit idea!" Sabine said a bit loud, but not too much to not be heard by Mira, raising her head from Ezra shoulder to lood at his left face side with a look who could scared a rankor.
,,Are you sure? How I am supposed to protect my daughter if I can't protect my own students and Tempel? Or how I can teach her a Jedi way when I want a reveng on this who hurt my daughter and killed my students? How I can teach her how to be a Jedi Master, when I was balancing between the light and darkness so often?" Ezra asked turning left to look at Sabine, but he don't get answer from Sabine. She simply didn't know what to say, she know a bit about Jedi but this is too much for her. Mandalorian would say to just try again as long as you are alive, but with Jedi there is no try or again, or you did something good or you screwed something up. And everything what Ezra said, means that he screwed up like no one else. Exept maybe of Luke.
Not having another idea. Sabine did what always was working in a moments like this. She wrapped her arms around Ezra and hugged him like it was no tomarrow. Ezra was glad that she did that, he always was a hugger, and hugs from his wife always was making him more alive. He wrapped his arms around Sabine and were sitting in silence for a longer moment, thinking what next.
Sabine know that Ezra will not let it go, and she can't helpt him with these Jedi way stuffs, they need some help advice. And she know who may be helpfull. But not tonight, they just can't thinking about something like this at that later hour.
,,That's too much for one night. Come, you must rest a bit. You have tomorrow very hard day of learning young mandalorian why they cannot starts a wars in our galaxy, and I have tomorrow very boring Clan leaders meeting which the Great Mandalore."She said when broked the hug and grabbed Ezra's hands, pulling him with her to their bed, slowly lying on their sides, but never breaking the physical contact between them.
,,But what about Mira." Ezra asked when he lied down on his side and looked into Sabine's always was like this, thinking first about others, then about himself, and he is suprised that he is soo tired. But he was right they still need to do something. Sabine bit her bottom lip thinking about something what will make Ezra calm and will covince him to fall asleep. She wasn't thinking too much, she alredy know what will convice him.
,,Tomorrow. I'll call Hera. She will come which Kanan and Dawn. When girls will be busy. We will ask them for advice. If Kanan AND! Hera will say that she need a Jedi Temple training. I will agree with you. If Hera AND! Kanan will say that she need training which my family. You will agree which me. Deal?" Sabine proposed not giving Ezra a change to cut her off or say something before she finished and giving him a look who said something like' Shut the kriff up now and go to sleep''. Ezra was thinking about this for a momnet looking at the room's roof then at Sabine face, she still have her daminating loook, but after a moment it softed and she give him a warm smile. This kind of smile who was telling that everything was going to be okay.
,,Ok. Deal. " Ezra said looking into Sabine amber eyes. The late hour, her smile and the way she said that, give him a clean signal that she is not gonna change her mind and the only thing he can do now is to agree and call it a night. Sabine smiled a bit wider than before and give him a small kiss for good night and turned the lamp on the night stand off, then she laid her head onto her pillow and closed her eyes. Ezra joined her soon after her, wrapped his hand around her pulling her closer to him and falling asleep.
They fallen asleep not knowing that someone was listening them all the time. In their air shaft, someone - what means Mira- was listening every single word since their started this conserwation, she heard everything. About her, her dad, Dagobah, grandma and that Hera, Kanan, and Dawn, will be here tomorrow. When Mira heard a quiet snorting she make her way back to her room through the vent and making no sound jumped out from the wall. She had no idea what to think about that. She was standing for a moment in the center of her room before she felt something touching her leg. She looked down and saw Tala standing on her back legs next to Mira;s her leg,and with her front paws on Mira's calf, she wasn't sleeping yet because was waiting for Mira this whole time. Mira didn't said a word to her, she just picked her up, hugged tini and climed on her bed. She was lying with Tala in her arms thinking about everything by a long time, but after long time she fallen aleep, wondering what the next day will bring her.
Autore Note:
Sorry for erros, mistakes and bad interpunction. If someone want, can say me where I made mistakes and I will fix them.
My story is make on the model of Miraverse(Meldy-Art's fanfic) so my story will be most likly about her art pictures. I also know a bit about official Miraverse (but it is changing soo often than I can't be sure that I'm still keeping the main course so don't be suprise if I will change something). I also know some of the official characters, but mostly the main ones so I will put few of my own characters to make some action in these stories, but the stories will still be mainly about Bridgers and Jarrus families. Also. Miraverse is too beautiful to be true, I need to put some dark/annoying/new my own characters who are going to be problemakers or so. But don't worry, there characters are going to be something like Zeb, Chopper, Hondo, Rex and Ashoka in the official serie so no worry, the story still will be about Mira. They will not be too important, but also with few moments-read chapters.
PS" If haven't done it yet. Check Meldy Art on Tumbl where you can find awensome arts and fan fictions storie about Mira, Dawn, Ezra, Sabine and other of the Ghost crew. I'm serious here, try it. Really worth. And don't if you don't like this fanfic. Don't read. And be happy. We all are nerds here.
