Farewell

"Mommy I won't do it again! I promise!" said the desperate little girl with tears in her eyes.
Seshaa-ly kneeled before her daughter and shook her head.
"Aira-ty, baby, you did nothing wrong. Don't ever think so, you can't stop something what's a part of you, but you need to learn how to control it." she said while stroking her daughter's turquoise hair lovingly.
"But I want to be with you and daddy! I won't do it again so I don't have to go!"
Seshaa-ly did her best not to cry.
"Baby, you want to make mommy and daddy proud, do you?"
Aira-ty nodded haltingly.
"Then you'll never stop using your gift. You'll become a great Jedi and will come back to us when you're ready and will be our hero. You will do great things and will save us, all of us."
Aira-ty nodded again though not exactly sure how big responsible role her mother just gave to her.
"I'll do what you say, mommy."
"You'll come back to us, we'll see each other again." repeated her mother with a sad smile.
"We should go." said the nautolan Jedi softly.
"I love you, baby!" Seshaa-ly embraced and kissed her daughter while Ty-ree also kneeled down to say farewell to his only daughter. When they finally let her go, the nautolan Jedi took the little girl into her arm gently.
"Don't worry, we'll take of her, I promise." with this she stepped toward her small ship with her little companion.
Aira-ty looked back at her home, her parents, and suddenly changed her mind.
"No, I don't want to go! Mommy, I don't want to be a hero! Daddy let me stay! Please!" she cried as tears flowed down her tiny cheek, reaching toward her parents helplessly.
Seshaa-ly couldn't hold her tears back anymore as she pressed against her husband. She felt miserable for letting their only daughter, their treasure to be taken away, but she didn't protest. It was the right thing to do. Aira-ty had to learn to control her powers to be able to save their race. It was their, and her sacrifice.
"Hush little one, it's alright. You'll find friends soon and will have a new home." the Jedi tried to comfort the desperate girl. "Everything will be alright." she said as Aira-ty cried fitfully in her arms while she walked up on the ramp and the lonagh-whanian couple vanished from sight.
She'll forget about them soon and will learn to live by the Code. She'll be alright. thought the nautolan Jedi as she watched the crying girl beside her as they left Lonagh Wha behind.


If you found the last piece sad, I don't know what will you think about this one... Honestly, I made myself cry while working on this.
It's another piece I wanted to do ages now and finally managed to do it.
Though Aira-ty won't remember this incident later because she's too young yet most likely she'll always have the lingering feeling of abandonment.
Aira-ty's Force powers are mostly having visions, and even as a little girl she excitedly told her parents about little things which actually happaned later and this ability of their daughter's made them feel uncertain and a bit uncomfortable. So little Aira-ty thinks that her parents send her away because she told them those things (which is actually true) but she thinks it's a punishment for that, so the little girl tries to stop her visions to be able to stay with her parents... And maybe this forgotten trauma of her is also one the reasons why she suppresses her Force powers entirely after she ultimately leaves the Order.
Just after the Jedi took her from her parents Aira-ty met Sabor in the Temple, so no wonder she clung to the first person who was kind with her!
