A Secret Worth an Empire (Taeli Rae)

[Nimue Stormson]

As she listened Nimue agreed that the Sith were not the right people to leave her with. She had a feeling [member="Taeli Rae"] would not take her to the to begin with, but upon hearing of the fact she'd distanced herself from them was all the more comforting. She'd already fallen in bad with the darkside powers she learned. She didn't want her daughter to be corrupted by any of it. Not the power, the wealth, the force. Anything. All the more reason why she would be ready when the time came.​

​

"Please, Taeli, watch over her for me." Nimue said, still cradling Morgana. "Make sure she grows up strong and graceful, like her mother. And brave, like...her fathers." She quivered a smile. "Pictures. Videos. Anything. Just as long as I can see her growing up." She looked back to her and held her hand out, asking again "Please, for me?"​

"You have my word that I'll send you as many pictures and videos as I can," Taeli said, gripping Nimue's hand harder. "I'll come visit as often as I can as well, my time won't be as limited soon. I promise to make sure she grows into the person you hope for her to become Nimue, I'll be Aunty Taeli and take her on wild adventures when she is older."

After hearing [member="Taeli Rae"] give her promise Nimue nodded, still fighting tears. She let go to look back at Morgana, the newborn babe still resting peacefully in her arms. Nimue was crying. Her tears were anticipation of what was to come. She knew it had to be done but that didn't make it any easier. Seeing those little fingers around hers and the light brown hair were all such adorable and memorable features. She kissed her forehead which made the baby fidget a moment before calming again. ​

​

"Goodbye....my little Morgana.." she whimpered before reluctantly handing her over to Taeli. The moment she was out of her arms she insisted "Now go. Quickly, before someone sees." ​

"She'll return one day Nimue, you have my word, and when she does, she will be everything you want her to be . . . hopefully," Taeli replied, holding the baby in her arms. Using the Force, she bent the light around her and the baby, appearing for all the word like she had turned invisible. Moving through the palace silently, she knew this would be tough on Nimue, but she would know her child was safe and alive.

Reaching her ship, she began takeoff procedures and sent an encrypted message to her sister saying she had found a child that was Force Sensitive and needed a home.
