Recuérdame.

[riptorn]

[Those of you who wish to see those who passed on? You'll be directed outside by Zeus, where he raises his arms, and marigolds begin to float around him. They float upwards, and form into a bridge.

It's structurally sound, and it seems fitting that you can cross it.

Eventually, you'll see it. Elysium. The Land of The Dead. Gentle music plays as you cross over into the city.

It's...festive. It's always festive. The architecture is colorful and full of spirit, and your group seems to be the only ones...human in appearance. Even your old friends seem to be a bit more skeletal in appearance. You can spend as much time here as you like, but eventually, that bridge will disappear. And you'll have to leave.

But...they'll never truly be gone. Not if you remember them. And someday, you'll join them. But for now, you celebrate. You've earned your happy ending.]

(ooc: This is the last log for the three canon rounds of Foolish Mortals! Thanks for coming along for the ride - we loved having you, and we hope to see ya real soon!)

Thank you, Mother. I...I can't tell you what that means to me.

[That despite all her recent failures, despite the losses she's endured...somewhere, someone is proud of her. It's almost too much to process.]

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

Just remember it.

[A hand on her shoulder.]

I know you have a lot to go back to Leia, but remember to let yourself be happy. You've done so much for so many.

[hasit]

[That hand on her shoulder? That's all the bolstering she needs. Leia nods.]

I'll try. I have...I have some work to do, but after that, I think...I'm more than ready for retirement.

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

Good. It's about time someone in our family had a real retirement.

[Just a warm amused smile. Between the Skywalker clan, The Organa's and the Solo's.... Something always happened. Sometimes that something was another member of the family.]

I'm so glad I got the chance to see you. Now however, I don't expect to see you again for a long time....

[There's a slight pause and she wishes she could say something more light but really she has to bring it up. She after all had never lost a child, they had lost her. But she had 'lost' a loved one to the dark side of the force and .....she knows just how horrific that can be, how much it can destroy you. She's selfishly glad it wasn't Leia who faced the same fate she did at the hands of said loved one.]

But....I'm sorry about Ben. I hope he can find peace here. ....We'll all be here for him, I promise you.
