b1. Broken/b
Sometimes, broken things could be fixed. Sometimes, they couldn't. Jysella mused. In the case of her family, it might never be fixed. Ever. It was as broken as her heart had been when she had to choose between Corellia and…
The woman shook her head, forcing thoughts of her old love and son away from her mind. That man would fix it and erase her from the other picture completely. She was on Corellia and that's the only planet she could be on for the rest of her life. She had family there and that family was going to grow.
b2. Fixed/b
The middle-aged woman glanced at the man she was about to marry. She had not fixed what she had been out to fix when she returned home, but the man helped her immensely in her attempts at mending the Corellian government and what was left of her heart.
Jysella grinned at herself. She was not able to help that she had to choose between her first son and Corellia, but by marrying this man, who shared her origins and her culture, she could forget the past mistakes that she never fixed and have another chance at not breaking her family.
b3. Light/b
The garden was a paradise to the eyes. Without light, it could not exist.
"But it's not real." Allana muttered to herself softly as she knelt in the dirt. It had not been real since her father began to teach her the tainted ways of the Sith. For her, the place had been a true garden when she still had the ability to shine light, but that ability was long-lost. Then there were those suitors who never carried any light with them.
Physically, the lights glimmered and flared, but that was just physically. Otherwise, there was neither light nor life.
b4. Dark/b
Darkness did not exist. It was merely the absence of light. Without light, there could be no life, so in a way, darkness was lifelessness. And yet the sewers were all but lifeless. It was home to myriads of rodents and waste materials that resulted from the life above.
Jysella chided herself for wastefulness but activated her lightsaber regardless. She was there to shed light on the case of a long-forgotten Corellian Jedi at Corsec's request.
She tried to convince herself that the cold that she felt did not exist. It was merely the absence of heat. Or was it?
bShattered/b
Tears slid down Allana's face as she picked up the pieces of broken glass. That's what her life was like. Shattered. Totally shattered. Her father and mother were both gone now and she was alone with a man she could never love. But it wasn't just that consort, was it? She married him in the first place because the alliance with him would negate the myriad of crimes that she had committed as a princess, at least back when her father was a Sith.
"Force, why can't I be forgiven?" she sobbed against her pillow. Queens couldn't cry, but she…
