Marrika Vernius was running towards the area where her mate had reported to be at, surrounded and alone. She skidded to a stop at the top of a small cliff, looking down at the scene before her in horror. There were dead bodies everywhere, somehow Keris had been able to fight and defeat this many of the soldiers from her mother's army. Marrika jumped down and ran towards the center of the battle fluid where she saw the ruined black and green armor of her army's armor, she skidded to a stop and dropped to her knees next to the dying male. She cradled his upper body to her armored and fabric covered chest, resting his head just above her heart as she ran her fingers through his blood and mud matted hair. Marrika could feel his blood seeping through the fabric of her jumpsuit but she ignored it as she started to talk to him in a whisper, "Keris, I'm here...just hold on...the medic is on her way so just stay awake and keeping looking at me." Marrika swallowed heavily, tears forming in her eyes. "You have a little girl that you have see, remember? She'll need her father..." She sniffles and nuzzles her cheek against his, the stubble on his cheeks prickled her smooth skin. "And I'll need you...so please live for us."

Keris lifted a bloodied hand and cupped her cheek, his thumb stroking the arch of her cheekbone and smiling, "I need you too, Marri...but I don't think I can keep my promise to you that I will help you end this civil war." He swallows and coughs, his hand falling but Marrika caught it and pressed the palm of his hand back against her cheeks, tears sliding down her cheeks freely and tears were starting to form in his own eyes. "Natasi will be needing you more after this whole thing is done...I won't be around to take care of her, like a father should." Marrika presses her forehead against his and sniffs. "I will always love you, Marri...give Natasi my love and teach her everything that we both would have taught her."

"I love you too, Ker....and I always will." Marrika whispers and starts to cry earnestly as she feels and senses Keris become one with the Force. She throws back her head and screams loudly, the shock wave of her scream threw the bodies closer to them away a several meters.  If anyone sentient was nearby, her scream would sound too painful and raw...it was a sound of a woman in grief over the lost of her husband and friend for that was what Keris Scalera was to Marrika Vernius and she would never replace him for as long as she should live. And one day she would see him again but for now she would have to survive in order to her to bring her daughter that was growing in her womb into this world and raise her as her father would have wanted to.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIuotF… listen to this song as you read, I felt that it suited this scene *sniffles*

This is the first time that I had written Natasi's father's name, he'll be in Marrika's main story where a full version of this scene will be in. Trajen dies while Marrika was pregnant with Marrika, like during the first stages of her pregnancy where you can't tell she's pregnant. Marrika gets to raise her daughter alone until her own untimely death and thus Natasi is then raised by her aunt Namari who is Marrika's older twin sister.
Marrika and Natasi are Kestra's ancestors, she has similar characteristics to them but they have their own personalities that make them very different.

Oh and as a warning to my new watchers....don't get too attach to my characters, I have this habit of killing them when you least expect it though some will survive longer than others :P

Marrika, Trajen and Natasi belonges to me....as does the Faberian Empire 

Star Wars belongs to Disney....and if I owned it what used to be considered canon would still be considers canon :P
