Description
Zell led Baby and his sisters to the memorial. There they examined the marble structure.
"But I thought that building over there was the memorial for father's men?" Ano said. "Who is this one for?"
"This is the resting place of General Vell orollie." Both sisters reacted with joy.
"This is where you buried our father?" Melee asked with a large grin. "How did you manage that?"
"I didn't." Zell stated simply. "When I woke up in the hospital on Carida, after being removed from the bacta tank, I found myself being visited by not one, but two admirals, as well as a general from the Stormtroopers and another from the Army. One of the admirals told me they'd positively identified our father. I thought they were going to have me shot! But instead, they asked for my permission to bury father here, with his men, with full military honors."
"But why would Imperials do that for a dead enemy?" Baby asked.
"They said that it was to honor a worthy foe. They said they'd all gone up against him during the course of the Clone War. And all had been defeated. So I said yes. They even returned and showed me the holo of the funeral. I have it in my cabin on Defiant Spirit. It was very nice."
"Ah, Zell. What are we going to do?" Baby asked nervously.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"We are going to be married." Baby said before grinning. "Why do you think I painted my Lekku black? That means that I'm spoken for."
"Well I know that." Zell told the tall Lethan.
"He's dense Baby." Melee said as she grabbed his arm. She then turned to her brother. "I think she means where are the two of you going to live. Don't forget, you're in Intelligence, attached to Defiant Spirit. Not exactly the best accommodations. I know, I spent a week on that ship helping Merrik with a problem. The only bunk large enough to hold two is Veexa's. And I don't think she'll give that up. Not as big as she is."
The blonde smiled up at Baby. "I bet she would if you asked real nice." The Twil'lek shook her head.
"No thanks." She quickly said, knowing what he meant by ask nice. "I'm not into women." Zell began to tell her he was just joking when a wave of pain hit him and Melee. Both turned to Ano who had tears in her eyes. She gave Tel'Meht a harsh look and started to walk away when she froze, her eyes growing wide with wonder.
"Do you feel them?" She asked the others after a moment of silence.
"Feel who?" Her sister asked, a look of puzzlement on her face.
"The dead! They are all around us." Ano suddenly smiled for the first time that day. "They are singing." Ano stepped away from the marble ediface and wandered through the voices, followed by the other three.
Vell Orollie stood smiling as he felt the joy in the hearts of his children as Melee and Zell opened themselves to the Force and heard the tens of thousands who sang for those who had just honored them. Stepping from the building, he went among them and joined the singing, standing between two of the eight Klingons who'd joined them after being killed in the battle against the pirates. When they'd finished, one of the Klingons spoke up.
"Come brothers and sisters. It is time we moved on. Leave this place for the living." Slowly, the fallen faded away. Finally all that was left was Vell and the Klingon.
"She is very sad, this daughter of yours." He said.
"Yes she is. But not for long. Soon she will meet the one who will love her, and that she will love." Looking over to the warrior he smiled as both became one with the Force.
