Stand Strong

Stand Strong, song 2004.

(need a melody)

Nothing but a shield and sword
A simple peasant boy came by
To a land of blistering heat and summer skies
And there he stood his ground
Stand Strong - The Silver Spire.

Nothing but a shield and sword
More people came and wandered by
To his land; blistering heat and cloudless skies
With him they stood their ground
Stand Strong - The Silver Spire.

Nothing but a shield and sword
We fought the dark that came on by
To our land of blistering heat and stormy skies
We fought to stand our ground
Stand Strong - Our Silver Spire.

Nothing but a shield and sword
Light refused to say "Goodbye"
To this land of blistering heat and starry skies
And there we stood our ground
Stand Strong - Our Silver Spire.

Nothing but a shield and sword
Another year has past us by
In this land of blistering heat and summer skies
And forever stand our ground
Stand Strong - The Silver Spire.

Once Upon a Time

Once Upon a Time, Song 2004.

Once Upon a Time
words and melody by: Catrysa Trakand
with much loving help and support from: Dalan Trakand


Tell me again how with you I'll touch the sky.
Tell me again how in dreams you make me fly.
Tell me again how it is I make you feel.
And tell me how can this be real.

I know I need to hear you say,
but the words just got in the way.
It's the only thing I fear;
The only thing I don't want to hear:
You and I,
Were merely....
...Once upon a time.

'I love you.'

Spoken:
The Force is a a many splendid thing. Wha-?
The Force lifts us up where we belong.
All we need is the Force.
Please, don't start that again.

(sung)All we need is the Force.
(spoken)A girl has got to eat.
(sung)All we need is the Force.
(spoken)She'll end up on the street!
(sung)All you need is the Force!
(sung)The Force is just a game.

I was made for teaching you, baby.
You were made to learn from me.

The only way of teaching me, baby,
Is to pay a lovely fee...

Just one night! Give me just one night!

There's no way, cause you can't pay!

In the name of the Force,
One night in the name of the Force!

You crazy fool,
I won't give into you.

Don't...(motions the Jedi Mind Trick) leave me this way.
We can't survive without the sweet Force.
Oh, baby. (motions again) Don't leave me this way.

(quirks brow at hand motion) Some people want to fill my mind with Jedi Mind Tricks.
(Jedi realizes his been caught!) Well, I look around... and I see (motion again) that isn't so.
(stifles a laugh) Some people just won't give up trying Jedi Mind Tricks.

(grins sheepishly) Well, what's wrong with that? I'd like to know.
Cause here we go again!! (motions repeatedly)
The Force will lift us up where we belong.
On a mountain high, where the Eagles fly.

The Force makes you act like you're a fool.
Throw your life away, for some hapless babe...

(interrupts) We could be Heroes!!
Just for one day.

You, you will turn Darth.
No! I won't.
... and I.... I'll have to fight you.

You should be my Pedawon!
I can't do that.

You should be my Pedawon,
And that's a fact.

Even though there's nothing
To keep us together.

I could teach you
How to build a light saber.

BOTH:
And we could be heroes
Forever and ever!

Once I teach you
How to build to a light saber.

Just because I-ee-I
Will always train yoooo-oooo-oou
I will always train you!

We're gonna be bad for the Republic...
...I can tell.

>.<' No more cookies before bedtime.

Letters from a Friend

(collaborative writing)

The weary barroness sat at her desk late at night with the candle
dripping slowly beside her. The frangrance of white roses surrounded
her as they did her room. The light flicker a tad. She rose her
hand over the gem to her left. Instantly one of her many servants
appeared out of nowhere. "Yes, please prepare my bed as I will need
my rest after I'm done here and send for a messenger after you have
completed your task." It seemed that the little things still took a
lot out of her and she knew that the travel she had done had not been
kind to her health. Death can do that to a person.

Anyway, the deed at hand. She picked up the pen and delicately began
the dance onto the parchment.

"To the Lady of House Trakand:

I have meant to write to you sooner but alas, I tend to feel a
little weak these days. First business I would like to address is my
thanks to you for returning me to my husband and quite honestly
helping return to the living. Death is never becoming to anyone but
from my understanding, you made it a more bearable experience.

I would also like to extend some gratitude to some of the other
members of your household. I recently made a trip with my husband up
to the City-State of Drandmir, my old residence to see the knighting
of our dear friend Kelsar. My health still hasn't been completely
returned to me. Keject who I believe is a member of your household
never let it pass his attention to make sure I was more comfortable.
And Cairun kept me in stitches with laughter and laughter sometimes
can be the best medicine. Therefore I would like to extend this
appreciation for everything your household has done for me although I
truly do not think words could be enough.

In your service,
Baroness Anastacia Lightlock
House Hollowfist"

Stacia hand barely was able to move the pen away before just dropping
completely. She felt like she really had no control. The messenger
appeared in the doorway. The servant girl came to Baroness
Lightlock's side and helped her up. "Yes I need you to deliver this
to Trakand Manor. There is no rush to do it tonight as I know it is
late but please do it first thing in the morning." Without a word
the messenger bowed and vanished with the letter. The servant aided
Anastacia to the bed.
