The Solos sat in the balconied lounge that faced west, with the afternoon sun shining brightly through the large windows. It was indeed a beautiful afternoon, but that did little to calm them down since they had no idea what they should tell the Pevensies about themselves. The beavers and Mr. Tumnus glanced over from the bench where they had been sitting and notice each of the children acting quite nervous. Jaina was twirling her Padawan braid around her finger, Jacen was playing with the edge of his Jedi robe, and Anakin was swinging his feet back and forth across the floor.
"Are you really that nervous about telling them about yourselves and your family?" Mr. Tumnus asked.
"Yes we are. You know I told them that we don't have the best family history ever." Jacen said.
"Queen Susan said not to worry about that. I think that all the kings and queens care about is getting to know you three better." Mr. Tumnus said.
"Still, our story won't exactly be very happy at some points." Jacen replied.
"That doesn't matter to us, young ones." Aslan said and the children looked up to see him enter the room with the Pevensies.
Everyone gave a quick bow to Peter, Susan, Edmund, Lucy, and Aslan before sitting back down on the benches were they had been sitting. The Pevensies and Aslan then sat down on a beautiful white bench by the door to the balcony, ready to hear the story of the Solos.
"So, what is it about you that you would like to share with us?" Edmund asked.
"Well, like Jacen said earlier, we don't have the best family history. It's mainly because of our grandfather, Anakin Skywalker." Jaina said.
"And yes, I am named after him." Anakin replied.
"Well, that sounds like an honor to me. Why would you be ashamed of your family history then because of him?" Edmund asked.
The Solos sighed as they began to tell everyone what they knew about Anakin Skywalker: how he had met their grandmother Padme Amidala and his former mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi when he was living life as a slave, how Obi-Wan had taken him under his wing as a Padawan learner, his reunion with Padme after 10 years of Jedi training and him being assigned as her protector against an assassin, and how they fell in love during the Clone Wars and married in secret since it was forbidden for a Jedi to form attachments with others.
"Didn't he know it was forbidden for a Jedi to marry?" Edmund asked.
"If he had known, he wouldn't have married her in secret much less marry her at all." Peter said, amazed at Edmund's ignorance.
"Yes he did know, but he didn't care. He loved our grandmother very much; in fact they kept their marriage secret for the next 3 years." Jaina said, ignoring Peter and Edmund's little argument.
"Then what happened?" Peter asked.
"After returning from a mission with Obi-Wan to rescue the captive chancellor of the Old Republic, he discovered that our grandmother was pregnant." Jacen piped in.
"Oh my, how did they handle this?" Susan asked.
"It wasn't easy, in fact he started having nightmares about Grandmother dying in childbirth. It was these nightmares that led him to start his path to the dark side." Jacen replied.
The Solo children then launched into the story of their grandfather becoming dissatisfied with the Jedi and being tempted into learning dark side powers to save Padme, beginning his transformation into Darth Vader. His transformation, according to Anakin, was finally complete when he lost the battle with Obi-Wan on Mustafar and was burned alive, having to spend the rest of his life in that monstrous dark black suit.
"And your grandma?" Lucy asked.
"She couldn't live without him, she literally lost the will to live and died in childbirth with our mother and uncle. For their own safety, they were separated at birth and went to live with different families on different planets, not knowing of each other's existence for nearly 20 years." Anakin said.
Lucy looked shocked as she said "That's sad. I could never imagine living without my brothers and sister."
"Same here, Lu." Susan said and patted Lucy on the shoulder.
"How did your mother and uncle ever reunite?" Mr. Tumnus asked curiously.
"By pure luck and chance." Jaina said and told everyone the story of how Leia and Luke were reunited because of R2-D2, C-3P0, and the Rebellion against the evil Empire. They also mentioned the many acts of cruelty Darth Vader committed against their family and friends, including destroying their mother's homeworld, freezing their father in carbonite, and chopping off their uncle's hand.
"But in the end, did he not redeem himself?" Aslan asked.
"Yes he did, Aslan. It took him watching our Uncle Luke being tortured by the Emperor, but he redeemed himself by killing the Emperor and sacrificing his life to save our uncle." Jaina replied.
"That is a most honorable thing a person can do. I myself sacrificed my life to save Edmund here from the clutches of the white witch once." Aslan said. Edmund hung his head in embarrassment, knowing that Aslan had done this to save him from being sacrificed as a traitor to the white witch.
"Well, that does sound wonderful. And with the death of Darth Vader and the Emperor, the evil Empire ceased to exist and the New Republic began its creation. But it's not been easy to get it together, there have been a select few wishing to bring the Empire back, hence the reason we were secluded on Anoth for a while while we were little." Jacen said.
"And the reason we were kidnapped about ten years ago by an evil man wishing to resurrect the Empire, he wanted us to be a part of it since we are strong in the Force." Jaina added.
Everyone stared at Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin, their eyes huge and their mouths wide open. Jacen had not been kidding when he said that their family history wasn't the best one, but they all thought that the children's background made them perfect candidates to be the great warriors to save Narnia.
"Wow, that is one amazing story." Mr. Beaver said.
"I have to agree with Beaver on that one. In fact, we think you are the perfect candidates to be great warriors." Peter said.
"You think so, your majesty?" Anakin said.
"Oh yes, your stories of your family history and the training you've had so far prove that." Peter said.
"I must agree with King Peter. I have as much faith in you three as the rest of Narnia does. Don't let your past shake your faith in the prophecy, if you put your minds to it you will succeed in helping us rid Narnia of Jadis forever." Aslan said.
"Thank you, Aslan. We appreciate it." Jacen said, proud that Aslan as well as the Pevensies, the beavers, and Mr. Tumnus still believed in him and his siblings.
(A/N: I just got the idea of doing a sequel to this story once it's finished, where the Pevensies come to Yavin and visit the Solo children there. I don't know what the plot would be yet, though. What do you think? Should I write a sequel or not? Thanks for the input.)
