The Legend Of The Unnamed Mother
So... I did this...WIP...
Because I had nothing better to do than to try and make a whole mithology for my headcannon of Taanab! And lety’s pretend I don’t have 3 fics to end!
It will be all OC’s, and Karyvdys is also my creation...
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Karyvdys, Outer Rim, 5000 BBY
The black-haired woman tried blocking out the sound of the angry voice calling for her.
The flames surrounding the battlefield made the heated air difficult to breathe in.
Her heavy cloak was a nuisance, but also a necessity…
Her infant daughter hid under it, strapped to her chest, as she ran through the rubble and the chaos, her eyes focused on the place where her shuttle waited.
She had to get out of there!
The cruel voice that had once spoken to her with a tender tone, kept calling amidst the fire and the smoke.
Her loving companion was but a distorted version of the man he’d once been.
Navann had sided irrevocably with the invading Sith.
The red skinned Dark Siders had brought pain and slaughter to her world, and now Karyvdys was ruined…
Her once beautiful planet laid in ashes in front of her. Her people murdered or enslaved.
Marillay’s father had fallen defending their household.
Her last action before turning her back on her childhood home had been to thrust her lightstaff into her father's killer’s chest.
She had picked up the invasor’s red lightsaber for extra protection, and now she had to reach her shuttle and run away from that place! More than anything, she had to protect her daughter!
Navann wanted the child to raise according to his new beliefs… A Dark Sider like her father.
Marillay would go to the end of the galaxy if she had to, in order to protect her daughter!
Staff in one hand and saber on the other, she rushed towards the far end of the doomed city. The small Jedi corps that had their headquarters in the capital city of Calujee had been almost completely subdued, and any help from Coruscant would arrive too late.
Her people were doomed, and it their blood was on Navaan’s hands…
A near explosion almost knocked her off her feet, and she heard her daughter weeping inside her cloak. She reached her cheek to caress the small child, whispering to her.
She hadn’t even named her child yet, so afraid she was that her feelings would be caught by Navaan. Her daughter would have to be hidden from her father! He would never get his hands on her!
Marillay finally reached the place where she’d hidden her shuttle, and a sigh of relief escaped her lips.
“Hold it right there.” An unknown voice ordered her. As she turned to face her opponent, she saw three of the red-skinned creatures.
Three red lightsabers hummed and Marillay the snap-hiss of her own lightsaber and lightstaff.
With graceful movements, she advanced to them, with a smile on her lips. She was faster than them… more powerful too!
Calling the Force to her, she emptied herself of all intruding thoughts and allowed her spirit to be filled with absolute serenity.
Three steps, block the first two with her staff. Use the lightsaber in her off-hand to block the third one. Duck and use the staff to attack the first two.
They yelled in pain as the staff’s blades cut clean through their legs. Marillay rose, her expression resolute, and thrust herself towards her last standing enemy. She cut off the energy on her staff and raised the red lightsaber, coming down on the Sith’s chest.
Still alive and grunting with pain, the other writhed on the floor. The Jedi way was to let them live… But if they informed Navaan she’d left on her shuttle, he might come after her.
With was a matter of keeping her daughter safe.
She inhaled slowly, clearing her thoughts as she released the air…
“I beg the forgiveness of the Masters that came before me, for what I’m about to do.” She whispered.
Marillay turned her staff back on, and with a sudden movement, she thrust her weapons into their hearts.
She lowered the shuttle’s ramp and went inside, allowing herself to take a last glance at her now dying world.
And so was Marillay Sah’Man!
