Alask's Final Messages

[Alask Vrein]

The following are a series of letters that are to be sent out in the event Alask'vrein dies on Ryloth during the Battle of Lessu

Dear Rask Vahnal,

Hey, Rask... I thought of something funny while I was in my ship. Remember when we first met, that time at that the Toasted Twi'lek? I was such a dumb kid and tried to pet you, and I ended up getting you kicked out. You probably hated me so much then... right? I was such a stupid kid, wasn't I? You looked like you were about to beat me, but then we got to hang out and...

We became friends.

And you became my father.

Rask, I've done a lot of bad things in my life. I've murdered people... I've hurt people, and I'm a criminal. But you stayed with me, even when my own father rejected me. Rask, you gave me another reason to live in this Galaxy.

But, you showed me that I didn't have to keep in all the bad things of my life.

I spent so long holding in all of the pain from my past, and all everyone ever saw was a happy face. I tried to be optimistic and bury all of the bad things, but you showed me that sometimes its okay to let the bad things out, because when you cry about them you overcome them. Rask, you showed me a lot, and without you... who knows what would've happened to me?

Well, I know what's happened. Rask, if you get this then I've already died. I did a stupid thing, trying to help save the planet I called home. I heard about the invasion and I tried to help out. I didn't want to be a coward, and let everyone I loved back home die. So I tried to help out. And... well, maybe I survive or not. I just decided to write this whole thing before the battle, to try and give you some comfort in case I did die.

Rask, I don't want to die. I'm scared of that. I don't want to lose you, and never come back to see your smile. I'm scared, and I wish that you were here right by my side and putting that paw on my shoulder, saying "It'll be okay."

Dad, I loved you more than anything else in this galaxy. And I know you're probably going to be angry with me, and curse me for sacrificing myself for a place that was gonna fall sooner or later.

But I don't want you to feel that way. Dad, if I die... I want you to be happy. I want you to be happy with Eice or Steija, to go on with your life. I don't want to drag you back down to that bottle you crawled out of, because you deserve that happiness.

I bet I sound like some optimistic Jedi or something, huh?

Dad... if I die, please, go one with your life. Not for yourself, but for me. I want to know, that even if I'm dead that at least a small part of me can live on in your life. Rask, please... never forget me.

Don't forget me, no matter what happens, because I'll never forget you. And I know that if I lay there dying on the street, or with the flames surround my ship... your smile will be the last thing I see. And I'll die happy.

Dad, I love you.

Your son,
Alask'vrein​

Dear Jexz Kira,

Hey kid, how you've been? I hope that everything's been alright for you, that you've managed to stay clean and stuff. I'd hate to see you back on the streets. Remember that time I met you, I do. You were so scared when that guy grabbed you, and I just decided to risk my own life to help you out. And it worked, and then you ended up on my ship.

Well, I've decided to risk my life yet again. I'm glad that I got you off of Ryloth, because now it's being invaded. I couldn't just stand by... stand by and watch as everyone I loved died by the hands of some bastard. So, I decided to head over to Ryloth and fight back.

Jexz, if you're reading this then I've already died.

I know, it's hard to take on but... it's the truth. I know it'll be hard for you to handle this, but you have to stay strong.

If you just give up after my death, then everything I did to try and help you would be for nothing. Jexz, sometimes bad things happen, but no matter what you have to keep on going. When my cousin was taken by slavers, I wanted nothing more than to lie down and die... to let the days go on without a single care.

But I kept on, because I realized that if I did nothing, then I wouldn't be able to live on for her. Jexz, when I die... please go on with your life. Live on not just for yourself, but for my memory.

Jexz, if you lay down in the street, then you're rejecting everything that I did to try and help you. Don't do that. You're a special kid, and you're a smart one too. I'm sure the galaxy will give you plenty of times to make a good name for yourself, just never forget me alright?

I've taught you what you need to survive as a smuggler, and I know you'll do fine. I want to be happy for you, to know that you'll be okay if I'm gone. So, promise me that if I go... you'll at least go on with your life and be the best damn smuggler that ever hit this stupid galaxy.

Scoundrel's honor, right?

Your partner in crime,
Alask'vrein​
