Jaina Solo's Story
My brother died in the Yuuhzhan Vong War. Not Anakin- Jacen. It's taken me years to work that out.. but I should have known it from the start. Jacen, the brother I loved,my twin, never came home. It just looked as if he did.
I think the core of Jacen probably died in the Embrace of Pain, at the hands of Veregre and the Yuuhzhan Vong. Whatever came back was just another person- a total stranger.
It's the only explaination for what he's become.
So, that's why I've reached the point of doing something utterly unthinkable, because unthinkable is the last card I have to play, the only way I can stop Jacen and this war from swallowing the entire galaxy. It was the Mandalorian crush gaunts that made up my mind. As Jag has proven,they certainly work. They're nasty weapons. Mandalorian iron- beskar - is prety well nearly lightsaber-proof. I almost expected the things to detonate when Dad opened the package. Since when did Boba Fett ever send my father gifts ?
Since his daughter was totured nearly to death by my brother, actually. We've been waiting for Fett's revenge ever since.. but so far.. nothing. Just the gift of crushgaunts and an armor plate, all made from Mandalorian iron.
So I'm packing for a journey I thought I'd never make.. and I'll give Jag this much- he never said I told you so. He's the one who said I needed to learn from someone who had a track record for bringing down Jedi.
If anyone can stop Jacen.. it's me. I'm his equal, and I'm the Sword of the Jedi. But I just don't have his.. training. I've no idea what he learned from Lumiya, let alone what he picked up from his travels for the past five years. But he'll make a mistake sooner or later.He's was too cocky to not underestimate himself.
I just hope it's sooner. And if being a Sith made Jacen invincible, he'd have taken over the galaxy by now.
I have a chance, and Fett's going to help me make the most of it.
It can't be that hard to find him. He's a bounty hunter.. so I'll hire him like any other client, except I'm not just any other client, I'm Han Solo's daughter, and Fett has spent a lifetime hunting us.
And now I'm asking him to train me to hunt down my very own brother.
For all I know, he'll laugh in my face- if he ever laughs, that is, and tell me to get lost. But I have to ask him. Swallow pride,be humble, and beg if need be. Dad seems to have thawed a little towards him.. I still despise him.
But if he says yes, I swear I'll be the best pupil he's ever had.
Come on Fett, show me how it's done.
