So mind trick's not gonna work half as well the next time I have to make Miya nap. Time for Plan B. Told this bedtime story to a few trainees before, so it'll do for her.
Or maybe it ain't such a good idea to tell this story, cuz my cousin almost cried when she told it to me.
I'll do it anyways, soon as I figure out a good version.
Anyhow, it all started with this sword. You see, it's no ordinary sword, for that sword was more than a weapon; it's a woman. She was very beautiful and her brown eyes were legendary. They called her the Sword of the Jedi. When she first came out of the furnace, she threw herself into the sky and cut down every bad person that tried to kill all of the good Jedi, but after the Jedi thought that all of the bad people were gone, she came back down.
Problem is, she and the Jedi only got rid of most of the bad people. The baddest of all was still alive. Yup, the Sword's little brother was the worst of them all and he was out to kill as many good people as he could.
He hid like a snake in the Jedi Order for years and made people think that he was really good when he was bad, very bad. He was the Sword of the Sith and they all called him Darth Rapier.
The Jedi eventually figured out who Darth Rapier was and the Sword got really sad. But what really got things started was when he took this little princess and held her in his big, bad fortress on Korriban. She cried and the Jedi, especially the Sword, swore to help her, since her mom was the Sword's friend.
K… this is harder than I thought. Guess I'll have to make something up, though I've a feeling some of it's true.
Anyhow, Darth Rapier and Darth Rouge told the kid that her mom was dead and they made her… made her kill people. Yeah, that's what they did and she screamed cuz she didn't wanna.
And Darth Rapier will come for you and take you to that evil Koriban place if you don't go to sleep. You'll have to live with that scary Sith guy with all the scars for the rest of your life.
Nah, Miya's a little too old for that one, but buys me time to think of the rest of it all.
Anyhow, the sword tried to get into the Black Fortress of Koriban everyday, but she couldn't get in. She always went with this team but Darth Rapier was evil and kept separating them and killing them all one at a time. Each time she'd try, she'd lose good knights and even a master or two.
One day, the Jedi decided that enough was enough and stopped sending people to help the Sword, so she threw herself into the sky again. The Sword fought very well against Rapier and his demons, but Rapier was smart and showed the Sword that the Black Knight was dying. The Sword then got really mad and well… I dunno if Miya'd want the real one or my fake one. Anyhow, that was Rapier's mistake and the Sword killed him and freed the princess. The Sword and the Black Knight took the princess home and everyone lived happily ever after. The end.
But it really went something like… aww, Force knows what happened since Dad wouldn't tell me and those Solo really wouldn't tell me, though I'm their little cousin. But I gotta tell her the truth cuz I already said something about Darth Rouge.
The real story went somewhere along the lines of the Sword met up with the Black Knight and they ganged up on Darth Rapier. Somewhere along the lines, Darth Rouge got jealous of the princess cuz his Master was teaching her stuff and cuz a lot of other stuff, so in that fight, he switched sides and helped the Jedi. It all ended with the Sword and the Black Knight and Darth Rapier dead and Darth Rouge kinda going over to the Jedi's side. And the princess did some pretty odd stuff. Dunno much cuz everyone 'cept for Darth Rouge died before I was born.
