Fic: Avigayil [1/13]
Title: Avigayil
Fandom: Star Wars EU
Characters: practically every character I ever liked...
Summary: An idea that presented itself after rereading Dark Paths - Is the Force genetic, or it is pure faith? And is your destiny already written, or do you make it?
Author's Note: My very first story, way back when in 2004. I wrote it after reading Thrawn McEwok's novella Dark Paths, and even though I never finished it - indeed, the writing style is a little too portentous and over-dramatic, a product of my adolescence and inexperience with writing - I'm still proud I wrote it.
Jaina believes in circles. Nothing Jaina does is of free will - as has been pre-ordained. Nothing she does is new - it has all been done before. Jaina is a pilot, and a Jedi, and a leader. She is the child of pilots, and Jedi, and leaders. There are no beginnings, no endings for Jaina.
Jag believes in lines. He does everything of free will. Everything he does is new (at least for him). He is the son of a woman who became a renowned actress from her roots as a working-class refueler’s brat, and a man who went from a dirt-farmer to the assistant-syndic of a Chiss House. Jag was once a soldier and a pilot. Now he is a diplomat, the first in his family. Life is a series of beginnings and endings for him.
Jag and Jaina married, and eventually they had a child; a baby girl with sienna-coloured eyes and hair as dark as her father’s. She was a fussy and temperamental child, always crying. But the worst of it was that Jaina’s child couldn’t touch the Force as her mother could; she could only be felt, as father and grandfather could be felt. Jaina could not understand - how was her daughter to fulfill her destiny if she couldn’t become a Jedi?
Jag loved his daughter. He didn’t understand Jaina’s preoccupation with their daughter’s destiny. She could be anything she wanted to be - except for a Jedi. And he couldn’t be a Jedi either, so what did it matter? She had married him, after all.
Six months after their daughter was born, Jaina went back to duty. She was the Sword of the Jedi, after all, and was highly important to the military as well. She left, but not without telling her husband goodbye.
Jag waited for her to return to them, but she never did.
