Prompt #7 - What is your greatest loss? [private]
What is your greatest loss?

My greatest loss was my mother. Plain and simple. When you're a slave, the only things you have are your family.

When I found out that Watto sold my mother to a moisture farmer, I was skeptical. But hearing how he married her, and treated her like what she was - a person - I knew she was happy there. There she spent the years as a wife and step mother to a loving family.

Then while gathering some mushrooms one morning the Sand People took her. And beat her horribly. She was bloody and broken when I found her. She died in my arms when I was too late to save her.

Then I snapped. I... killed them all. Every stinking one of them met his or her end on my saber that night. Even the children were not so lucky. Even now, years later I have a hard time having remorse for my actions that night.

I'll never be too late to save a person I love ever again. I am the best and brightest of the Jedi, it is not beyond my abilities.
