Eternal Blessing
By: A Day Without Rain (aka Sammy)
Rating: G-PG (I suppose)
Summary: Adamé and Obi-Wan undergo an old Rimaldian tradition of swearing eternal love to one another before Obi-Wan is sent back to Courscant. (A little sappy, but hey. Why not? Its snowing here!)
Authors Note #1: If at all possible, for my "virgin" readers who have no idea who or what I am talking about, go into my profile and read The Fight for Rimald chapters 1-4, and all
my other SW stories. It should give you a better understanding of the situation. :)
Authors Note #2: And if you're too lazy to do that, here is a quick outline of what is going on. The planet of Rimald is under attack by mercenaries, and Obi-Wan and Anakin have been sent to act as bodyguards the Princess Adamé. That is it in a nutshell. Blah, blah, blah. Oh, and yeah. My whole saga takes place 3 weeks after TPM.
Authors Note #3: I shout out to: Katt, Shannon, Becky, Steffie, Becca, Scatter, PJ, Brittnee, Laura, Gin, Jo, Brittnee, and everybody else. :) I've been gone...But now I'm back...hahahahaha
Disclaimer: I forgot. I owe so much respect to father George. I love you man. Except, why are you forcing Ewan to grow a beard for Episode 2? He looks so---well, that has already been done.
...now you can read the story!
Authors Note 3 1/2: I know, I know! But I've got so much to say!! I keep re-using this song, but Tears on My Heart from Enya's new CD is totally the music for this.
**JEDISTAR: If you read this, I am responding to your review of "The First Kiss"...Adamé is like Padmé because they---if everything proves out like I am predicting---will turn out to be sisters. (Just so you know that I am not making a Padmé-wannabe out of my character)
...this time I am really done...
The only sound in the temple was that of the chanting from the women who had given their lives to the gods. He stood in front of large altar with various statues of the animal-like creatures that they worshipped as their divinities.
The large wooden door closed with a soft lock. She rushed to stand beside him. He looked to her, she was dressed so beautifully for the occasion. Her hair was braided into intricate knots, and she wore a white dress that clung to her body and defined her shapely curves. The pallid collar crept up to the base of her chin, and was studded heavily with jewels.
A delicate smile passed over her lips as he ran his rough palm over her peach-bathed cheek. He noticed that a single tear had fallen from her left eye.
A man emerged from a chamber beside the altar. He was dressed in purple robes with a strange crest embroidered on them. He bowed to the princess and her lover, and rose again with a sincere look on this face.
"Mar y poje adyta?" he spoke in his native tongue to Adamé. (May we begin?)
"Tah dulte." she replied softly. (Yes my father.)
The man began to chant softly. He-a-ro, he-a-ro he sang. Obi-Wan looked to Adamé who's eyes were fixed on a statue behind the cleric. He wondered if she could not even bare to look at him. The following day he would be departing from Rimald on command from the Jedi Council, for they believed he should be involved romantically with Royalty. No longer would he spend his days in the presence of the woman who had captured his heart, and had filled him like air to his lungs.
The man beckoned them to kneel. Adamé turned to Obi-Wan and took his hand. Her hunter green eyes were welling with tears. The crooning of the man's voice, and the look on Obi-Wan's face were ripping at her seams. Her hands began to tremble. She closed her eyes and listened.
The words were spoken in Rimaldian:
The gods shall bless thy eternal love,
The possession of each other's souls,
The beginning of infinity.
Thou shall never part in spirit
Though parted on the physical plane
Thou shall be reunited in the next life.
Thy blessing is eternal.
The princess needed reassurance. She needed to know that when he left her, she would still be in his heart and in his spirit. She knew that there would never be another like Obi-Wan. No one could possibly fill the void she would feel when they parted. That is why she suggested they be blessed. How could she survive without him? She would be forced to give herself to the man she was being "arranged" to love. The ominous prince from Mandalore.
The man guided Adamé's and Obi-Wan's foreheads together. Several women chanted a hymn beside them.
"I love you," Obi-Wan whispered.
Her lip quivered. "And I you."
When the man had finished he turned their heads to look at him. "Mi dora mo chroi." (My children of love...) "Y gada no pulta no olya, hay moryea bulrta." (You have been blessed, may your love be eternal.)
"Thank you my father," Adamé murmured parting from Obi-Wan.
"Do you swear your eternal love to one another?"
"I do," Obi-Wan spoke.
She looked into his eyes. "I do."
"Marga chroi dulta di." (Your love is true.)
They watched at the temple grew silent and the man entered back into his chambers. Adamé stood up, followed by Obi-Wan. There was a temporary silence between the two of them before Obi-Wan slid his hand underneath her chin and brought her mouth up into a kiss. Tears climbed down her face and dropped onto Obi-Wan's tunic. He watched as several of them landed in the same spot.
He nuzzled his head into his shoulder. "Our love is eternal."
He nodded, holding back the rush of emotions he felt has he held her there. Her eyes went from green to a gray nothing, as she started into the blankness of the infinity of what was to come the previous day, when she had nothing left to live for.
~~~Life. With every day, someone loses a person that has become a part of them. The stuff of romance movies. People falling in and out of love. The problem comes when you can't fall out.~~~
Take the time to review. I know there wasn't much of a plot, but I was in that kind of a mood.
