Historias de Jastermereel

Mandalorians care about one thing above all else. The lives of children. Jaster Mereel's decision in the face of a disaster changes the course of history forever.

Obi-Wan Kenobi was three years old when he was given to the Jedi temple. He was three years old when he started his force training. He was three years old and 3 months when he was thrown into isolation for the first time. He was three years old and 6 months when he started taking punishments for his other crèche mates. He was four years old and 2 months when he was left behind on a foreign planet. . . . Jango is fourteen and six months when he is separated from his verde and buir on his seventh mission. Jango is fourteen and six months when he finds a shivering and frightfully skinny ade. Jango is fourteen and six months when he becomes a buir, and NO THE JEDI CAN NOT HAVE HIM BACK. . . . Jaster is thirty-six and two months when he has a heart attack after losing his son on a mission. Jaster is thirty-six and two months when he first sees the tiny and scared ade. Jaster is thirty-six and two months when he becomes a ba'buir, and NO THE JEDI CAN NOT HAVE HIM BACK. . . . Obi-Wan is four years old and 2 months when the collective of Mandalore says MINE, AND NO THE JEDI CAN NOT HAVE HIM BACK.

On one last mission with her former master before he retires, Jedi Knight Estai is sent to Naboo on an 'easy' diplomatic mission. Tragedy strikes, however, when a Sith attacks. In the end, the Trade Federation ends its blockade of Naboo, but Jedi Master Tholme has paid a terrible price, left in a coma he may never awake from. Estai, reeling from the sudden loss of her master, brings Anakin Skywalker before the Council on her master's behalf. Desperate to keep young Anakin safe, Estai makes a decision that will change history. Or maybe history was changed a long time ago.

Balance had been restored to the Living Force - the Unifying and Cosmic still reeling from the deaths of untold thousands. But the Parent, bereft of his Children in that Galaxy, sends a warning to a following time. Their schemes are not worth their Children's lives. And so, the Son and the Daughter, of a time before-yet-after, contrive a plan. They do not need a powerful Force sensitive, or a chosen one. They do not need someone ordained by fate or part of a holy Dyad. They needed someone ordinary - someone who would change the Galaxy simply by refusing to die. Jon Antilles was too cautious and stubborn to jump through the Force vergence, and Quinlan Vos too reckless and in-the-thick-of-it to follow any set plan. But maybe, instead, they could push someone (Some people...) into the space between time by accidentally-on-purpose. (Jedi Knight Cal Kestis, who has outlived everyone he has ever loved, is not amused.)
