Title: Ode to Tenel Ka
Disclaimer: While I'd love to own Star Wars and be rich, I don't. Besides, if I did own that galaxy and its characters, Tenel Ka and Allana would have been in Betrayal.
Author: Moi
Characters: Tenel Ka, Allana, Jacen, OC
Notes: This can be a totally canon standalone, but ties in so heavily with the post LOTF AU titled Our Mother, Our Queen that it might turn up word for word in that fic. For those of you on I'm posting this as a chapter of the story for that reason.
She is our mother, our queen
Our woman, who gave up her dreams
She was a Jedi once
But she left it for what she must run
That's our government
She took the crown and went
To stop the nobles from
Killing all in this kingdom
She was also a warrior from Dathomir
Who carried a spirit that was rare
Tenel Ka was also the greatest wartime queen
Because she drove away the YV
She remained true to Dathomiri tradition
By allowing only her chosen
To help create the next heir
Whom she lost to a deed that was unfair
She handled the loss well
Despite that her life was hell
She served us out of necessity
And extended her hand to me
Alas, the illness had to come
To take away her freedom
She fought hard
But fell in this last war
I hope she died happy
After seeing Allana alive and on Hapes
And winning Jacen back
May her wise spirit come back
Rest well, Tenel Ka Djo, our mother, our queen, and may you forgive me for the pain that I've caused.. Adoptive daughter and regent Kala, spoken on behalf of the Hapan people
