Entry #72

*The recording clicks on in a quiet room. The sound of light little feet coming up the stairs appears on the recording. The mic is tossed aside, and the voices become quieter from the distance.*

Ashla... what are you doing up?

Daddi said I should ask you.. about the d'eam... and wot was t'ue and not.

Which dream?

You know.

*Her voice softens* Well, dear... let's start at the beginning. Tell me what you saw?

It was a good d'eam at fi'st..  You we'e a jedi, and you we'e using a lightsabe' like Caelo'n said you might.

What is Caelorn saying about my using lightsabers? ...and jedi? *She asks, still mildly, but somewhat suspiciously*

I don't know... it was a d'eam... A'e you 'eally a jedi, mum?

No. I've never been a jedi..

Oh.. *The little girl's voice is quiet, and cautious. She can sense the way her mother feels about the jedi, and it's a bit much to take in.*

Go on, Ash.. don't think of it. What was the rest of your dream?

Then.. then a sto'mt'oope' took you' lightsabe'... and he... *She nearly whispers* he killed you with it...

Ash... you know that's not true... I'm here now and I'm fine.

Then why was it so 'eal? It all looked rathe' t'ue.. Daddi said it's just diffe'nt, and you can say what it means.

It means that I will never be a jedi... their ways have betrayed me... and hurt me.

A'e the jedi bad? *She asks in a concerned tone*

No. I am.


*END*
