| Post subject: | A man named S'erolf |
Many years ago a lonely human hide trader from Naboo named S'erolf came across the site of a crashed transport ship during one of his frequent business trips across Tatooine. Imperial fighters had shot down the transport ship, thought to be a rebel smuggling vessel. A small Imperial garrison had control of the site and the few survivors were in their custody. Two of these survivors were small Zabrak boys whose only parent, their mother, was lost in the crash. Sadness fell upon S'erolf as he watched the heartbroken boys cling together as dead victim's broken bodies were carried off by troopers. One is their mother. As the Zabrak boys and other survivors were escorted away by Imperial troopers, S'erolf remembered how he lost his own mother as a teen. Already weary of Imperial rule, S'erolf feared the boy’s fate in the hands of Imperial run orphanages and the whispered tales of the Emperor's "re-education" of parentless children. Local powerful black marketers and wealthy smugglers connected to corrupt high level Imperial administrators were among friends and clients of S'erolf and adoption of the two Zabrak children was accomplished rather easily and quietly. S'erolf raised and educated the two boys, Erime and Somel. They became skilled hunters and savvy traders and S'erolf became the boy’s loved and devoted father. S'erolf grew proud of his sons and was pleased that his successful trading business would pass into their able hands when the time would come. Prosperous time would pass in the house of S'erolf when, one day Erime and Somel returned to their father's store in Theed from their longest and most successful hunt on Tatooine. Excitement turned to dread when they returned only to find their home and family store burned down and their father in custody of the local Imperial magistrate. S'erolf had been found and charged with the aiding and hiding of escaped Rebel traitors and imprisoned until his trial. His long secret history of aiding rebel causes eventually came to light and even the influence of old high level friends and the efforts of his two sons to obtain his release where in vain. In fact, it was S'erolf's friends that kept the boys themselves from being arrested with their father. S'erolf was formally sentenced to public death. In his final moments, S'erolf stood watching his sons, proud and content that his love and legacy would live on through them. He would pass on; content with his life. Erime and Somel together watched the only father they ever knew bravely face Imperial execution as they had both watched their mother's body carried away many years ago. |
