~Chapter Thirteen~

"You're going to lose it," Jaden stated to a scowling Keldin who was manning the controls of his ship.  The ship was totally completed so it could make a trip like this, only Keldin didn't quite like the occasion.

Obi-Wan and Jyana were in the back of the ship counseling with Mace Windu.  Wokki was in the cockpit helping out wherever needed.  Keldin was grateful he didn't have to take too many people to Endor and only one ewok.  He couldn't think he would've been able to handle any more bodies.  He could hardly stand those with him.  No one seems to understand what I am losing.  No one really seems to care.

Even though he was most of the time, this time, Jaden was no help.  "You're going to lose it," he said, "You're about to lose it.  You're going to…" All of a sudden, Keldin smacked Jaden, making him fall to the floor.  While Jaden just lay there on the floor he said looking up at Keldin, "Told you so."

Keldin just growled and resumed his piloting.

"Now Keldin," Mace ridiculed walking in, "Contain your anger."
"You're not my Master."
"I am now."
"Master Windu," Jaden responded after Wokki had helped him up, "I'll take responsibility for that last time.  I provoked him."
"Thank you for your honesty, Jaden."
"Keldin's in enough trouble.  I didn't think he needed anymore."
"Thank you," Keldin stated sadly.  Then a sudden realization hit him.  "Are Obi-Wan and Jyana alone?"
"No, I'm right here," Obi-Wan stated appearing from behind Mace Windu.

"Where's J?"

"In meditation."
"Oh."

"I decided to respect Keldin and not make him pissed off at me while he's being so kind in taking us to Endor."
"That's good."

"There's Endor," Wokki said when they got out of hyperspace.  Ekoko, here we come.

"There'll be one wild party when we get there," Jaden stated.

Great, Keldin thought to himself, Just great.

It was nighttime in the village that had raised Jyana for 4 years of her life, starting right after she left Obi-Wan the first time, when Keldin's ship touched down on its outskirts.  The ewoks knew exactly what the ship meant.  Although she had no Jedi reflexes or instincts, Wokki's wife, Ekoko, had this mental connection with both her husband and Jyana that she knew exactly what was going on at this time.  Because of her position and relationship to the only Jedi Ewok in existence at that time, Ekoko was greatly respected and heeded to as the Great Princess.  Jyana was known as the Ewok Princess although she was a mere human.  Ekoko's wisdom was listened to.  She was second to the Shaman and Chief of the tribe, Qua Ekona, Wokki's mother who had served in the Galactic Senate with Jyana and Keldin's mother, Vaya Angele.  She let the entire village know that she sensed that the Ewok Princess had come back to get married and the entire village was now gathered outside of the ship, awaiting the occupants to come out.

The Jedi in the ship were prepared for the change of environment Endor supplied.  Mace Windu and Obi-Wan, being not used to the Ewok language, were going to have to rely on the Force in order to communicate with the ewoks.  The ceremony on the following day would be in Galactic Basic, but they asked Wokki to translate it so the ewoks would know what was said.  Keldin, Jaden and Jyana all spoke fluent Ewok so they didn't have to worry too much.  Obi-Wan found that when he relied on the Force, he could understand when Jyana and Wokki held on entire conversations in the Ewok language.  That one fact surprised him.

Mace was the first one to exit the ship, but Wokki darted out from beneath him as quick as he could, running into the arms of his waiting wife.  She was holding a little newborn baby ewok.  "Paploo," Wokki said looking at his newest son.

Ekoko just nodded but looked up to see Jaden exiting the ship.  Then Obi-Wan walked out.  The ewoks immediately knew who he was and he sensed it.  He reached back behind him and felt for Jyana's hand.  Once she had placed it in his and exited the ship, the ewoks let out a cheer.  "What's that all about?" Obi-Wan whispered to her in Basic.

"They've been waiting for this moment for almost 10 years I think."

"As has the Council."
She nodded with a blush evident on her face.  Even though she was used to getting attention from the ewoks because she was the only human among them at most times, she was not used to this much attention.  She was not quite sure she liked it too much.

"Jyana, where is your brother?" Ekoko called out to her in the Ewok language.  Obi-Wan was surprised he understood what she had said as if it were in Basic.

Keldin had remained in the ship, unwilling to participate in any party celebrating this engagement right now.  He couldn't.  Jyana just gave Ekoko her answer with her facial expression sending, Let him be.

Ah, he is her brother, Ekoko thought.

The celebration continued with Jaden walking off on his own for awhile and Keldin never leaving his ship.  The ewoks showed their happiness for Jyana and Obi-Wan and basically cheered every time they showed their love to each other by hugs or kisses, thus making both faces turn bright red, which also pleased the ewoks.  Jyana understood how come Keldin could not join in.  He wasn't too happy about the whole situation in the first place and she didn't want his face to be rubbed into it anymore than it already has been.  She didn't want to hurt him anymore than she could've already had.

Jyana excused herself from the party telling all good night and kissing Obi-Wan sweetly on his lips, provoking the cheers from the village.  He looked after her, knowing fully well that the next time he would see her would be when he was marrying her.

"You all right Obi-Wan?" Mace asked him.

He shrugged his response.  "I'll be better tomorrow."

"What you're feeling is normal.  You'll be all right."
"Thank you."
Later on that night, Obi-Wan found himself in a hut that he was to share with Mace, Keldin and Jaden.  He stood alone at a window and looked out across the dark forest.  I'm marrying tomorrow.  I won't be sleeping alone tomorrow night…  While he was there, Keldin, finally out of his ship, came in to sit on the mat he was to sleep on.  Obi-Wan looked back at him and sighed.  He didn't know if he would ever get along with Keldin, but he kind of wanted to.  Obi-Wan thought that would be what Jyana wanted.  He wondered if Keldin even cared what Jyana wanted, but he figured that was none of his business anyway.

Keldin looked up at Obi-Wan and growled.  At this, Obi-Wan turned around and rose a hurt eyebrow.  "What?" was all Obi-Wan could ask.

"You know," was all Keldin could respond.

"But I love Jyana."

"I know.  So do I."

"I don't want to continuously fight you for your sister.  I understand what she means to you, and I don't want you to lose her.  I wish I had this close a relationship with my brother."

"You have a brother?  I feel sorry for him."

"I never knew him.  I didn't grow up with him.  I never did a thing to hurt him and he hates me, I can feel it."

"I guess I hate you with better reason than he does then."

"I wish you didn't."
"Then don't take my sister away."
"And let her die?"
"No!!!"

"All right them.  She said she couldn't live without me."

"When?"

"When we were fighting over me marrying her."

"No she didn't."
"She said it with her eyes."

Damn it!!!
"I'm guessing we'll never get along, will we Keldin?"
He just shook his head and got up and went out of the hut and grabbed a vine and went swinging.  Obi-Wan just lowered his head.  All that love for Jyana, but he still doesn't know her.  I have that one over him.

Jyana was certainly more nervous than she had ever been before as she stepped out of her warm bath.  She wrapped a warm robe around herself and looked out the window that was the nearest her in the small hut that had been her home for many years, ever since she was an innocent child.  She noticed the planet of Endor rising.  Morning, she thought, It's today.  Today I change my name.  Today I get married to the man I love.  Today my life changes forever.  Am I truly ready for this?

She brought down the dress he mother had passed down to her.  The dress her mother had planned to wear when she married Grajo Hiswe, Keldin's father, but instead Jyana got to wear it for her wedding.  When she had tried it on the last time she could it had fit her perfectly.  She buttoned it up the front and put the gold belt around it at her waist.  Ekoko would be there to do her hair in any moment.  It was the first time in a long while at which she had unbraided her hair and no human except Mace Windu, her father and her mother had seen her with her hair down.  Ekoko would be braiding her hair back up and wrapping them back into buns, yet weaving ribbons and precious jewelry in it, making it more elaborate.  Qua Ekona had done that for Vaya and had taught Ekoko how to do it for Jyana.

Ekoko entered the hut, sat Jyana down in her chair and began combing out her long wet hair.  Ekoko didn't say a word because Jyana needed to council her own self.  Jyana popped her left thumb in her mouth.  Although she was now 26, her habit had not yet been broken.  Ekoko didn't do a thing.  She understood how nervous Jyana was and allowed her to retreat to childhood if that was where she could receive comfort at this time.

Ekoko sung cheerfully, trying to cheer up the nervous Jyana.  It helped a little.  Ekoko occasionally spoke words of encouragement and recounted how she had felt the day she had married Wokki long ago.  Jyana just listened and sucked her thumb.

Keldin entered the hut and nodded a hello to Ekoko.  He saw his sister in her nervous state.  She did not see him.  He pulled up a chair and sat in front of her and tried to meet her eyes.  She didn't pay him any heed.  He gently took her hand in his and pulled her thumb out.  She only looked up at him sadly.  "Are you all right?" he asked her.

She shook her head and tried to move her hand back to her mouth but Keldin kept a firm grip on it to make sure that she didn't.

Ekoko moved Jyana's hair about so that she could fix it with better efficiency.  Part of Jyana's hair fell down over her eyes.  Keldin carefully moved her hair away from her eyes, yet in doing so he did not conflict with what Ekoko was doing with her hair.

"Keldin," Jyana said softly, "I'm scared."

"You don't have to marry him."

"Yeah I do."

"Can he truly make you happy?"

"I hope so.  You can never know for sure."

"He's too old for you Jyana."

"Age doesn't matter when it comes to this anyway.  The Council said we were meant for each other."
"The Council can't always be right."

"I know this."
"You may be meant for each other, but I don't trust him."
"He loves me Keldin."

"I love you…"
"I know Keldin.  I know."

"I don't like Obi-Wan."
"That really doesn't matter."

"The Jedi life is difficult and it will be harder if you're tied down to someone."

"I've learned this.  I've always been tied down to Wokki.  I know how to handle that."

"Sex won't be so great."

"I'm not marrying Obi-Wan for sex!"

Keldin looked away and sighed.  He then looked her deep in the eyes.  "I'm trying to protect you the best I can from getting hurt so bad that you'll never be the same."

"I'm not the same girl I was when you met me, Keldin.  We all change, that's something you can't change."

He sighed again, his eyes reflecting pain for fear of losing her.  "I'm getting this feeling I should just give up and not try to protect you from him and what a future with him might hold.  But I will never give up, not even if I have to die trying to protect you.  I will never for any reason give up."  She allowed a single tear to fall from her eye.  Keldin gently wiped it from her eye and shook his head.  "Please don't cry," he whispered to her.

Ekoko backed up from her masterpiece of Jyana's hair and looked out the hut's window to see Wokki standing outside waiting for Jyana to be completely ready.  Jyana saw him too.  She knew what that meant.  Keldin stood up, as did his sister.  She wrapped her arms around her brother and he returned the embrace carefully.  "I love you Keldin, but I have to marry Obi-Wan.  It's my destiny.  I know it.  I may be scared now, but I won't be scared for long."

Keldin kept his hold of her.  I don't want to give up.  "I'm still not giving up."

"I never said you had to."

Keldin pushed her away just slightly that he still was holding her and looked her in the eyes.  "If he hurts you, he dies, understand?"

She smiled weakly.  She only nodded her head.  He's right.  And if that does happen, I won't stop him.  Ekoko climbed on a couple chairs stacked together to reach Jyana's shoulders while she was standing up and buttoned on her cape to the back of her dress. 

Jyana was now dressed, she was ready to go down to get married.  She hoped she was truly ready for what beheld her.  Keldin and she exited the hut with Ekoko following.  Jyana Falson stood at the edge of the walkway and Wokki walked up beside her.  Her eyes were focused in the distance, seeing nothing of what was physically in front of her and nothing anyone could say would sway what she was feeling at that time.  She loved Obi-Wan Kenobi, and she was going to marry him.

Mace Windu, Jedi Master, stood up at the front of the long aisle with a nervous Obi-Wan Kenobi at his side.  Obi-Wan had closed his robe and put his hood on as had Mace.  Obi-Wan held his two hands together and he knew how bad they were sweating out his nervousness.  He had never been this nervous about anything before, but he was not backing down, not now.  He had gone too far to back down because he had finally got Jyana to realize that she was in love with him.  He also knew he would never hear the end of it from the Council if he backed down now because he was having cold feet.  Besides he figured they'd get warmed up later anyway.  He wasn't quite sure that was quite a good thing though.  He was sure Keldin wouldn't like it too much.

Wokki came running down the aisle.  He stood to the side of Obi-Wan.  Qua Ekona walked up the aisle and walked over to her son and scolded him for his excited behavior.  She then took Obi-Wan's hand and tugged his arm.  "Down," was all she said.

Obi-Wan looked at Mace.  He only nodded.  Obi-Wan realizing that he must obey the leader of this tribe, dropped to his knees.  Ekona removed his hood from atop his head and placed her paws or hands there.  She recited a blessing in her native tongue that not even the Force could translate.  Obi-Wan could feel himself tremble at the power of her words, whether or not he could understand them or not.  When she was done she placed her hands on his cheeks and made him look at her.  She then spoke directly to him, in fragmented Basic yet with power, "Vaya make good choice.  You a handsome man.  I live long to see this day.  Love Jyana.  Take good care of her."

Obi-Wan only nodded.  His nervousness had briefly subsided when he rose back up to stand and wait for Jyana to make her appearance.

Ekoko headed the way, but Obi-Wan's eyes were drawn behind the ewok to the radiant young woman in white.  Wow, just when I think she couldn't be anymore beautiful, she proves me wrong again.

Unnoticed by Obi-Wan, Keldin just glared at him.  He growled because he knew he had lost, but he still had a job to do.  He had to give Jyana, his sister, older than he and yet he considered her a little sister, away to this man whom he did not like.  He couldn't get out of it, especially with Master Mace being there to make sure he behaved and did that which was right in the eyes of the Council.  Keldin just could not agree with the Council, especially in this matter.  He wanted so much to scream but he couldn't.  Not now.

Jyana couldn't look straight at Obi-Wan without blushing like crazy.  She knew how he was looking at her.  She couldn't force her head up easily, but when she did, she broke into the biggest, happiest smile she knew she had ever smiled.  She saw the look on Obi-Wan's face, in his eyes, and it reflected the radiance that she herself felt.  She felt Keldin cringe in sadness once she knew he sensed her happiness.  Keldin wanted her happy, but not with Obi-Wan, yet Jyana was the happiest she could ever be when she was with Obi-Wan.  Keldin still wasn't giving up, but he was beginning to accept this was the way it had to be, and it killed him inside.  Jyana looked up at Keldin and whispered to him, "You will never lose me."

"I hope you're right," he responded sadly feeling in his heart that she may be right and wrong at the same time.

Obi-Wan's eyes were slightly drawn to a part of Jyana that he had never noticed before, but looked back up quickly to her face due to the threat that popped in his mind: Eyes up now, or I'll kill you now without any pretense.

When Jyana and Keldin got to Mace and Obi-Wan, the ceremony began.  Mace said what was said to start it off and Wokki translated everything.  Whatever was said was oblivious to Keldin, who was focusing on a vine in the distance and how badly he wanted to swing away from this whole situation at hand.

All of a sudden Jyana elbowed Keldin in the side.  "What?" he asked confused.

"That was your cue," Jyana said annoyed with her little brother.

"What?"

Obi-Wan did his best not to burst out laughing although he could already hear Jaden's typical laughter.

Mace then repeated what he had said, "Who is here to present this woman to this man?"
Oh shit, Keldin thought.  He looked down at his sister and then distastefully at Obi-Wan.  "I guess I do," he said reluctantly.  He took Jyana's hand to offer to Obi-Wan.  Just as Obi-Wan went to retrieve it, Keldin jerked her hand away and whispered cautiously to Obi-Wan, "You hurt her, you die."
Obi-Wan sheepishly nodded his understanding as he took Jyana's hand from her possessive little brother.

Keldin went to sit beside a no longer laughing Jaden, and growled to himself, thus startling his companion, only a little.

The vows were exchanged and made to last a lifetime.  They exchanged rings once Wokki remembered where he had stashed them inside his black Jedi cloak.  They were pronounced man and wife and Obi-Wan got to kiss his bride.  Jaden looked between the two, contemplated the situation yet again, then fell over laughing hysterically.  The ewoks joined his laughter as well as took up cheering.  Keldin glared at Jaden and sunk down in his seat both angrily and sadly.  Once Jaden got up and recovered from his laughter and regained his seat, Keldin smacked Jaden in the back of the head, making him fall down to the ground again.  Jyana and Obi-Wan both turned to look at Keldin with their eyebrows cocked.  "What?" Keldin asked, trying to act innocent.

They both laughed and shook their heads at the young man.

Mace Windu smiled as he announced, "I now present Mr. and Mrs. Obi-Wan Kenobi."
A growl emerged from Keldin yet again while the ewoks cheered and Jaden fell over laughing, again.

Obi-Wan kissed Jyana on the cheek again happily, and headed back down the aisle with his new wife.

The ewoks had prepared a large feast in honor of the wedding.  While Jyana stood and awaited this feast, Obi-Wan held her possessively from behind.  Keldin kept aloft from the couple so as not to make him much angrier than he already was, but still kept a close eye on Obi-Wan, hoping he would behave, at least in public.  Jaden approached the newlywed couple to give his congratulations to them.  "I congratulate you all and everything, but I hope you don't mind me leaving quickly after the feast.  I've got some plans to carry out."

Jyana just smiled.  Tirzah.  "Sure.  Go when you need.  Keldin doesn't need an extra punching bag."

Jaden looked at her.  Oh no.  She knows.  He headed off quickly.

"What do you know Jyana?" Obi-Wan asked her curiously.

"It's confidential, Obi.  I'm not supposed to know."

Obi-Wan understood and didn't press any further.

During the feast, Keldin disappeared, but Jyana wasn't worried.  He probably went swinging again to get his mind more at ease.

But nothing for a long while could get Keldin's mind at ease, especially because of tonight.

Obi-Wan stood at the entrance to the small hut just staring at her dismissing Wokki.  When they were finally alone, he took a deep breath an walked towards her.  Finding it difficult to express himself with words, he took her hand in his.  Jaina obviously had the same problem he did for all she did was turn to look at him.  He pulled her to him and kissed her as if she were fragile.  She wrapped her arms around his neck and ran her fingers in his hair along his neck.  He pulled her closer to him so that every inch of her body possible was against his.  She inhaled quickly, and looked back at him, stopping the kiss.  With one quick motion he picked her up and carried her into their Honeymoon Hut… *insert a scene that I'm NOT gonna post on the net*

"She's no longer innocent," Keldin stated, staring off into the distance blankly.

Wokki came up behind him, trying to see what he was saying.  A silent Ekoko just stood behind her husband.

"She's no longer innocent," he repeated with the same morose sound to his voice.

Wokki sighed, "She's married."

"She's no longer innocent."

"Same with Obi-Wan."
Keldin scoffed.  "He was never innocent."
"You forget he was a virgin too."  Wokki paused.  When Keldin didn't reply he continued, "He gave all of himself to her.  She is his first just as he is hers."  Keldin still remained silent but burrowed his eyebrows as if in deep thought.  Wokki then muttered, "They were meant for each other."
Ah there's one, Keldin thought, grabbing a vine and taking off, swinging from one branch to another in pitch darkness.

"I'll never understand him," Wokki stated to his wife.

"Maybe he's not meant to be understood," Ekoko mused.

"But still…"

"He's acting normal.  He is having a hard time adjusting to the fact that his sister is under her husband's protection now."
"I don't understand why."

"You never had a sister.  My brothers acted the same, or similar to how Keldin's acting now."

"You're right."

"It's not your goal to understand Keldin, Wokki.  It if was, you would've done so by now."
Wokki nodded.  He then seemed to remember something.  "Now what did I really come back for?"

Ekoko just smirked and walked back into her hut.  Wokki followed.

Then there was Keldin; still swinging aimlessly from the trees, finding in himself the serenity otherwise lost in such a dark place.

Meanwhile, Naboo was peaceful it seemed, but darkness loomed in the swamps near Otoh Gunga.  You couldn't tell on the outside what darkness dwelled on the inside.  There was a young woman frantically swimming in the water to the shore, eyes wet by not only water but tears as well.  When she got to the shore and climbed up it, she removed her black hood, revealing long golden blond hair and purple strands outlining her face.  She reached into the water and frantically scrubbed her face.  She looked down at her hands and noticed the red and black face paint that she had just cleaned off.  She washed her hands then, seeing yet a different stain that would not, could not come off.  Will these hands never be clean?  All the perfumes of Naboo could not sweeten this little hand.

When the water stilled, she looked at her own reflection.  Is this what mother looked like? she asked herself realizing she had lost her brown contact she wore to make her eyes not match.  I wonder if I can hide from Sidious among the Queen's handmaidens, as long as brown eye contacts can be arranged.  Her purple eyes would definitely stand out in a crowd and she certainly doubted that she could ever hide from Sidious.  I hope they'll let me in.  Maybe they won't care about my past.

She began to weep over all she had done.  Damaged… defiled… used…  All to get back at Mother for not sticking by Maul.  All to make me hate and become a Sith.  All to make me kill my own father, orphan my own baby brother, and refuse Mother's other son any grounds to save his sister in order that my own twin sister be the same as I.  Why would they want me with them?

Darth Detori, no Jamyn Solo, was not to be alone for long.  Syerré had taken a long walk to get away from the ever-present eye of the Council and the Amidala and Anakin romantic tangle.  When Syerré noticed Darth Detori without make-up, she saw for once the pain in the purple eyes of the fellow angel from Iego it seemed.  "Are you an Angele?" she curiously asked, recognizing the tale-tell purple of the Angele clan among the angels.

"I don't know.  I never knew my mother," the woman answered quietly.

"Are you Jamyn, Jaina's sister?"

"Yes."

"Then you are an Angele."

"And who are you?"

"Syerré Diablé, a handmaiden to Her Majesty the Queen of Naboo and trainee for the position of Jedi Healer."

"I was Darth Detori, Sith Apprentice."

Syerré cocked her head.  "But you ran away?"
Jamyn nodded.  "I couldn't take it anymore."

"Take what?"

"Being used."
"Used?"

"In all concepts of the word possible."

Like I felt after Adkda… "I'm sure you can find sanctuary among the Queen's handmaidens.  We can get you brown contacts."  Like they did for me…

"That's very nice of you Syerré but don't you have to be a maiden in order to be a handmaiden?"

"To tell you the truth Jamyn, the only maiden in the court is Amidala herself."  Syerré then remembered what she had thought when she had heard the same thing.  Too bad I'm not either.  If Adkda had only not taken that maiden status from me…

If Maul had only not taken that maiden status from me… "Oh?  Well I'm sure they were when they were eight."
"Eight?"

"Darth Maul raped me when I was eight."

Syerré cringed and was shocked.  I was thirteen… is that any better?  "Darth Maul?"

She nodded.  "He raised me and taught me about men."
"I'm sorry…" that you had to learn that sad truth like I did.
"Don't be.  You had nothing to do with him.  It was all his fault.  Everything was."

"He's dead now.  Your new brother-in-law killed him."
"Obi-Wan?"
Syerré nodded.  Maybe he could kill Adkda too… maybe Keldin could… no Keldin's not man enough to do that.  I'm not his sister.  He'd do that for his sister, I'd doubt he'd do that for me.

It's about damn time.  "Oh.  I know.  That's good.  Maul can't hurt anyone else now."
Syerré looked at the saddened young woman and offered her hand.  "Come.  We will protect you from those evil men.  The Jedi Council will help you."  Like they helped me from Adkda, but not away from the hurt I still feel.

I have no fear of the Jedi anymore… I have no reason to.  I do not hate them… I can't… They are not the ones that are evil.  Jamyn looked at the offering and took it without question.  "Thank you.  I don't know how to repay you."

Syerré smirked.  Maybe something about that little brother of yours.  "We'll work on that later.  Let's get you out of that Sith garb."

She has no clue how long I've wanted that.

You'd be surprised.

They both walked back to the Theed Palace, unaware of the danger looming behind them.

Endor had just risen over the luscious moon.  The male ewoks began to stir, to go out on their hunting excursions.  Life seemed to come back out of hiding and its short hibernation.  Light illumined the place again.

Obi-Wan opened his eyes, awaking from a contented sleep.  He looked down at his bedmate, still sleeping peaceably against him.  He caressed her cheek in wonder.  Jyana.  Her name was like a symphony, sweetly playing in his mind and touching his heart and soul.  No composer could ever compose a masterpiece that could even compare to her and do her justice.  He knew for a fact that anything that could even be beautiful would never compare to her and win.  The symphony playing in his mind could not compare to the pleasure he found in her the last night.  He traced her features and ran his fingers through her hair.  She stirred and lazily looked up at him.  He smiled at her and said, "Good morning."  He kissed her gently.  She repositioned back to her original state on his chest and sighed contentedly.  He kissed her on her temple.  He protectively moved the blanket a little higher to cover her up, because he felt as if someone was coming and he didn't want them to see what was rightfully his.

Keldin and Wokki appeared in the doorway.  "Oh my," Keldin said and quickly looked away.  I'll smack him later.

Wokki smirked and stated.  "That's spiritual rejuvenation."
Obi-Wan looked up at Wokki and smiled while quickly raising his eyebrows and kissed Jyana on her temple again.

Keldin smacked Wokki for his comment.  Wokki in turn proceeded to attack Keldin.  Obi-Wan shook his head and looked back down at Jyana.  She was staring up at him with her eyebrows raised.  He smirked and pulled her face up to his and their mouths became entangled once again.

"Get him off, get him off," Keldin screamed but realized those in the bed were too busy within themselves.  He glanced anxiously at the bed and realized he could not see Obi-Wan's hands nor Jyana's.  He glared and tossed Wokki towards the bed.  He didn't bother to see where the ewok landed, but stalked out of the hut quickly.

Wokki flipped using the Force away from the occupied couple.  Obi-Wan tore his face away from Jyana and looked at the smiling Wokki.  "What is it?" he asked the ewok.

"You've got a story to tell tonight."
"Do I?"

The ewok nodded.  His smile was just as big as Obi-Wan's was.

"You got some spiritual rejuvenation last night too didn't you Wokki?" Jyana asked while she traced her finger on Obi-Wan's chest.

The ewok only grinned.

"You know Wokki," Obi-Wan said as he tightened his arms around Jyana, "You were right.  Endor is a great place for spiritual rejuvenation."

"I knew you would agree."  With that, Wokki headed out of the hut to leave the newlyweds alone.

Obi-Wan looked down at his wife.  "Now what?" he asked.

She shrugged her response.  "I don't know Obi.  You tell me."

"Well, while we're still here, I think we should get as much spiritual rejuvenation as we can."

"We've got plenty of time…" Jyana started but Obi-Wan cut her off by repositioning himself and kissing her full on the mouth.

It was afternoon when Obi-Wan finally made his way out of the Honeymoon Hut.  He wasn't wearing his boots but he had his pants and his shirt on without his undershirt, tunic and sash.  He walked to the railing at the edge of the walkway.  Some reason life seems much brighter now.

Jyana came up behind him and wrapped his sash around his waist, saying nothing, but the message implied.  If he's going to get somehow dressed, he'd better at least do it right.  At least now I can make sure that he will.  He turned around and drew her to himself in his arms, still saying nothing.  There was really nothing to be said, especially at this time.  Jyana saw her brother walking down a walkway in the distance.  He looks so sad.  Jyana then heard a loud high-pitched, "Eowww," coming from the brush down underneath the village.  She recognized Jaden's voice and intense giggling that sprung up afterwards.  Ah, Tirzah is making him happy now. She saw another man, much larger than Keldin, chilling nearby with a little ewok, Wokki's son Woka, on his leg.  She then saw little brother Keldin running far away and him jump up to grab another vine and swing away from the village.  That gave her an idea.  "There's something I want to show you Obi," she said to her husband, pushing away from him and taking his hand.

He looked at her and noticed what she was wearing.  "What's there that you haven't shown me?"

She looked down at her tight short dress that she had never worn due to her own personal modesty.  It was the traditional Iego Angel dress, only she was not wearing the complete outfit.  She did not wear the purple Angele clan sheer cloak and the golden chain around her waist, she only wore the white dress which symbolized purity.  She was still pure, because she had waited for her husband.  "It's my favorite spot on this moon."  She grabbed a nearby vine and used the Force to get Obi-Wan one.  "This way," she said and swung off away from the village.

Obi-Wan followed her without question.  He wanted to know everything about his wife, everything that she was willing to tell him.

She landed on the ground near something Obi-Wan could only hear.  A waterfall.  He looked around the landscape.  Beautiful luscious mountains and a waterfall in a circle.  The water fall was a complete circle with a lake below, only there were some spots of land there for there to be standing place.  The waterfall only had little rivulets in some places and a large one in two places.  "Isn't it beautiful?" she asked.

Obi-Wan only looked at his wife and said, "Yes."

"I mean this."

Obi-Wan nodded.  "It doesn't compare to you though."

She blushed.  "That's not the point Obi."

"I know, but it's the truth.  I don't need to look at this when I can look in your eyes."

"Obi…"

"You have pretty eyes, Jyana."

"Thanks but I didn't bring you here for compliments for myself."  I can get those anytime, I'm sure.

"I know."  He looked around at the site.  "I thought you couldn't swim."

"I can't, but I come here every time I need to find peace.  I never go down to the bottom.  Could you take me down there?"

"You mean dive down there with you on my back."

She only nodded.

"I'd love to… but aren't you scared."

"Terrified, but for some reason, doing that with you doesn't faze me as much."

He smiled and picked her off the ground and did what she had asked him to do.

When they had reached the bottom, they found a piece of land and stood there looking around them.  "It's even better down here," she said, "Only I don't know how to get back up."

"Lets pass on going up right now," Obi-Wan said taking Jyana in his arms with a wide grin on his face.

It was a while later that Keldin dived off the top of the waterfall and made a cannonball of a splash, drenching both Obi-Wan and Jyana.  They were both dressed and just laying there looking at the afternoon sky.  Jyana sat up and looked at him when he pulled himself out of the water.  "There you are," Keldin said, "The ewoks are looking all over for you."  And why is she wearing that dress?  I thought I told her to never wear it.  Oh the respect I get.

"Well you found us.  Good thing you came when you did and not earlier," Obi-Wan said mischievously picking himself up to a sitting position.

Keldin only looked at him and growled to himself.  Can't smack him now… have to wait till later.  He then shook his head to get the water out of his hair, purposefully spraying his sister and her husband.

Jyana stood up, grabbed her brother up from the ground and pushed him back into the lake, laughing at him.  Obi-Wan burst out laughing at the sisterly affection.  Keldin came back out of the water, fuming but still rather playful, and picked her up and threw her in the lake while she was screaming.  "Um, you know she doesn't know how to swim," Obi-Wan asked Keldin.

"I've done this before.  I would never let my sister drown," Keldin responded and dived after her.  He got her out of the water.  They were both laughing.

Obi-Wan just shook his head as they continued their little fight in the water.  "I told you Keldin."

Keldin crawled out of the water with Jyana behind him.  "Told me what?"

"That you wouldn't lose her."

He looked back at his sister.  "I guess you're right.  For now."

Jyana leaned up next to the rock Obi-Wan was leaning on but didn't lean on him because she didn't want to give Keldin anymore reason to smack Obi-Wan just now.  Keldin used the Force to pick himself back up to the top of the waterfall and dived down again in a cannonball, splashing the couple yet again, but this time, Jyana was too tired to play back.  Keldin understood and didn't torture her anymore.

"What are you trying to prove Keldin?" Obi-Wan asked him.

"What?"

"By showing off the way you do."

"I just enjoy it."

"Is that inherited?" he asked looking at Jyana.

Jyana only nodded when Keldin shrugged his shoulders saying, "I don't know."  Keldin then looked over at his sister and noticed something.  She was sucking her thumb again.  He just stared at her, annoyed with the fact that she did not understand that there was a big difference between 26 years and 26 months in the age factor.  She noticed his face and only smirked, insisting to keep it in her mouth.  He made his way over to her, yanked at her thumb, but she fought with him so that she could continuously suck it while he wanted her to grow up and stop.  He pulled her all over the ground, getting a few grass stains on her short white dress, but she still fought him.  When he had finally succeeded to get it out of her mouth, he said, "Stop!"  He dragged her back over to Obi-Wan and sat her beside him on the side so that he could hold her left hand to make sure that she was not going to suck her thumb.  Just this once, Keldin thought.  Obi-Wan gladly took her hand and laughed because of the silliness of this situation.  I only wish I was this close to my brother, but it's still incredibly fun to watch this.  At least Keldin recognizes that I have some power over her now too.  I can't believe she still does that.  I guess there are some things that are just too hard to give up.  I'll work on that too…

Thanks…

"Do you know who your father is?"

"Huh?"
"Your father… you've got to have one."

"I don't remember my parents very well.  I never knew them.  This is all I have, other than Jyana," he stated handing Obi-Wan the medallion that he wore around his neck very cautiously.  If you damage it you die, Keldin sent.

Obi-Wan nodded.  He understood it's significance to his brother-in-law.  He studied the medallion.  Jyana shifted uncomfortably where she was sitting.  Obi-Wan looked up at Keldin and Keldin reluctantly nodded, giving a silent okay.  Obi-Wan reached for Jyana and brought her to him and holds her firmly by her waist and she leans against him.  He kissed her sweetly on her temple and then returned to study Keldin's medallion.

"Master Vaya's symbol," Obi-Wan recognized.

"You recognize it?"

"She was the one that found me and brought me to the Temple when I was very young.  Of course I recognize it.  I had it engraved on Jyana's and my wedding rings in memory of her."

"If I ever get married, and I repeat, if, I'd do that too."

Obi-Wan smiled and caressed Jyana's stomach.  She looked at him with a smirk.  They exchanged a short kiss and Keldin sat there trying his hardest to get up and smack Obi-Wan for doing that in front of him.  "I only wish that were true," Obi-Wan mused.

"What?" Keldin asked curiously.

"Infinity.  Angels never die.  I couldn't bear to lose my angel."  He rubbed his face against Jyana's with his eyes closed.

Same here…  "You want me to leave you two alone," he asked sadly.

Jyana shook her head.  "Wait for us, it's getting dark," she sad looking up at the sky and the almost setting Endor.

Obi-Wan looked at the medallion some more.  "I know this craftsmanship," he muttered.

Keldin looked up at him curiously.

"Your father specially made this before he disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

"No one knows what happened to him.  Just before he was supposed to marry your mother after you were conceived, he disappeared."

"Did you know him?"

"Yes.  I did.  I liked him, except for the fact that he was exactly like you."  Keldin grinned.  "He had this thing for smacking Qui-Gon in the back of the head a lot."

Keldin laughed while Jyana muttered sarcastically, "I wonder why."

"Jealous that Vaya still loved Qui-Gon more than him, even when she didn't.  Qui-Gon no longer cared.  He had Jyana and I to take care of."

"Obi-Wan," Keldin started, "Who was my father?"
"Grajo Hiswe, Jedi Master from Ando Prime."

"Ando Prime?  I love Ando Prime!"

"There's your reason why," Jyana said.

"So I'm a Hiswe?" Keldin asked.

Obi-Wan nodded.

"Maybe you're not so bad after all."

Obi-Wan kissed Jyana's neck in response.

"Don't push it."

The couple only looked at each other and laughed.  They didn't push it after that, much.

~And so ends a tale of a couple in a far off time.  It is uncertain as to what happened after this date, although it is certain that eventually the events of Episode II "Attack of the Clones" occurred about 5 years later.  The records do not show anything for certain of what happened in-between, and once these records are found, hopefully they will be revealed to all.~

~The End~
