Jedi Stories: Episode #28 Lowdun's Broken arm and the marriage

Previously: I have closed up most of the characters and set them up for the next story…which should tell you right now that Jedi Stories is almost over. It'll end with Lowdun's close-up (because he is the main character.) I think they'll be 3 more episodes, counting this one. Anyway, Lowdun has just passed on The Legend of the Chosen One and just now, someone has found out about Alex and Demetre's deaths and has just informed Lowdun.

"Lowdun, your parents were murdered by another ship."

If Lowdun wasn't devastated already, this really did it. Now, he had two things to blame himself for. When news of this reached Lowdun on his way back to Alderaan, Lowdun only blamed himself. He and Mary moved to Tatooine, a desert planet, and Lowdun pretended he had not heard of the Jedi Knights before. You see, Frey's vision had been bugging him. Lowdun was afraid of the man dressed in black from Frey's vision. He thought that he could prevent that from happening if he resigned and had nothing more to do with the Jedi. Plus, he was ashamed that he was unable to stop Poopsie Kritch. He just knew that that was who had killed his parents, also. He felt he was a failure in the Force and would always bring bad luck. Frey had told him it would be one of his decedents. Now, before I tell of Lowdun and Mary actually moving to Tatooine, I must close up one more person: Locon Spellbinder, the Head Region. When they actually had their child, they had a daughter, Sally Spellbinder. A year later, they had a son, Correon Spellbinder. They continued to serve the Republic well. (They mean both Locon's family and the Spellbinder's as a whole.) I thought you might be wondering about him. Anyway, back to Lowdun and Mary.

Lowdun says, "Well, how would you like to be a moisture farmer's wife? I'm interested in that sort of thing. I heard there is big money in the business and that it is fairly new. Tatooine's a nice little small desert planet. I've heard it's very good for moisture farming."

Mary says, "all right, as long as you can be Summoner of Clay Hill."

By the way, Frey's family had also gone with Lowdun and Mary. Lowdun kind of laughed at that. "Yes, I do still need to take Brax and Mrs. Corta (Alice) back to Clay Hill, don't I?" And so Brax and Alice were safely on Clay Hill once again. Brax Corta followed his father's footsteps and became a Jedi Knight.

Before Brax left the ship, he said to Brax, "Your father was my best friend, Brax. If there is anything I could do for you, just let me know. And maybe someday our descendants will be friends or maybe even be husband and wife."

Brax smiled and said, "Maybe."

For the next 20 years the Corta family lived a happy 20 years (minus Frey)…they were not bothered by the Kritch family. Lowdun and Mary also dropped off Ewok Luck on Endor and he led a happy life. Lowdun and Mary did go to Tatooine. Soon as they got to Mos Espa (the main spaceport), Lowdun went off in search of two people: a minister and a doctor. Lowdun's arm still bothered him and Mary didn't have the equipment to help him very much (remember, she is a nurse.)

Mary said, "I think you ought to get that arm checked out before we're married. It looks bad."

"It does hurt," says Lowdun.

She knew that it was hurting him a lot. She could tell by his face. They found a doctor and the doctor took an x-ray.

"Yes," said the doctor. "It is broken, but it's not bad. It'll heal all right."

So, Lowdun had a cast put on and then the doctor said, "come back in a month and we'll see how it's doing then. I don't think it'll be a problem, though."

Lowdun left him and went to look for a minister. They found one and Lowdun and Mary had a simple wedding. No reception…no one else knew about it. Then, Lowdun went back to the main part of the spaceport (with Mary holding his good hand) to look for a job so he could raise enough money to buy land and the moisture farm equipment the he would need.

Until next time!
