It was strange, she even felt her own body was foreign; the last time was long ago she had controlled her own body and it was all completely unusual. Just like when she was born. Only then was the pain not present, though she was alone, and now Geiseric was here. Eina managed to retain her physical form, not falling back into her true natural form, the immaterial and invisible one. She almost never used this, the original form, maybe a few minutes after she was born ages ago. She had always considered herself a woman, so she always chose a feminine form. But now she doesn't have the strength to be more feminine.
Being in physical form, she gasped frequently for pain. The Valkyrja looked up as the man knelt beside her. While they met in their dreams or in their minds, she hadn't noticed, but now she immediately recognized the rosary she had made for the man. Eina's eyes widened for a moment at recognition. She was surprised to see the jewellery.
"You kept it! I thought you threw it away that night …" she said in surprise, her voice hoarse with pain and crying.
She really didn't know how much the rosary, the gift meant to the man that night. Because the rosary was tied to the crusader, it didn’t relieve the girl’s pain, but the embrace was soothing, promising safety even now. She wanted to believe that what the embrace promised would happen, that they would be together, that Geiseric would not leave, would not leave her anymore than he had that night. Now Eina knew how to react to the hug, she embraced the man as well as she cuddled as best as she could while she sobbed.
"That's the reality, isn't it? Isn't it just that the parasite is playing with my mind again? Tell me that's the reality, please …" she beseeched.
She clung to the man as if afraid that if she let him go, she would lose him forever. After a long captivity, it was hard to believe that this was not just another torture but the reality.
"I couldn’t keep what I promised… I promised to be here and help liberate Ession. Instead you had to save me instead of your beloved world. I... I just ruined everything…" then she noticed the man's injured hand.
"You're injured!" there was a sincere concern in her voice.
She knew she had no strength at the moment to heal the man. Other times it would have gone easy, but not now. Now she was weak, trembling in the arms of the beloved man, and only because of him was she able to kneel on the ground and not fall because Geiseric held her in his arms. Eina looked into the man's eyes a little confused and scared. This oath, it somehow looked and sounded so different. Much more serious, it was like it lasted forever, not just a simple "dozen" oath that people or demons say. It was more like a Valkyrja doing something they seriously thought about and never wanted to break. A love pledge.
"And I swear I’ll be by your side all the time, I'll support and help you with everything for as long as you need me or want this. I will help you fight Bogan, I will help save your world and everyone from the Sith rule, and I promise I won't be your burden again… my beloved crusader… no, my beloved Gei!" she said softly.
At the same time as her words, she stroked the man's cheek kindly and gently, then for the first time she leaned over to the man and kissed him softly. As she kissed, she held the man's uninjured hand, weaved their fingers together just above the rosary so that the rosary rested in the palms of the two of them at once. During the kiss, the rosary shone again…
Like any story, it has a beginning, a middle, and we know the culmination, and the sequel will be decided by history. But to understand what has led you here, it’s worth getting to know the whole story, which is more painful and struggling than happy. They will probably be happy in the future, but the past was nowhere near that. This story is about two people who were born in two different worlds who didn’t care that they couldn’t be more different from each other than they were.
It all started when Omni reappeared when the Ashlan Crusade's members went to the Netherworld to explore that place and continue their crusade there as well. In this place they followed a demon that looked like a
giant shadow dragon, the same entity that Eina was hunting for, because the creature killed countless Valkyrja. The knights, including Geiseric, were harsh and rude to the distant and cool girl. In the end, however, they helped each other to victory.
Although the encounter was not very positive, it was good for Eina to see the nobility, the selflessness in Geiseric, which made her interested in the world of the living. And from the very first moment, some kind of bond developed between them. Partly because of the man, she chose the angelic appearance for himself, with his red hair and golden-red wings, and in this she went to the members of the Ashlan Crusade. She never hid
whoms' daughter she was, though Geiseric hadn't heard of it, and he only called the girl Ashla's boon among the knights and sisters. Most took over all of this. Around this time, the colours of Eina in the Force changed to gold, the Force abilities', shields', lightnings', and so on colours.
The duo didn’t meet again for months, maybe just fleetingly, but they didn’t have too much time to talk. Thus, they knew each other only superficially and formally. After Korriban, Eina learned that Geiseric had not
returned home. No one knew what had happened to him, most considered him dead, even though he had just been taken prisoner. He spent nearly a year in captivity, in that one year Eina searched the entire Netherworld for the man's soul; a decade has passed in the afterlife for her. It was during this time that she began to hear the man's prayers to Ashla for the first time. She never gave up the hope to find the crusader.
She finally managed to reach him through a dream, leaving a mark on the man’s soul to find him at any time because the man agreed. So now she could easily go aboard the ship on which the crusader was detained. Geiseric was dying when
she reached him, so the woman healed her with her own life force, saved her life because in his original condition she was afraid to take the man back to Netherworld. However, the Sith Lord, who owned the ship, sensed Eina's presence and thought it was his former lord,
Darth Prospero, who had returned from death.
The Sith Lord did everything he could to kill the girl and persuade the man to fall into the Dark Side. There was also a closed bond between them, though trust was severely shaken when the Sith Lord revealed whose daughter was Eina. Eventually, the girl's strength kept the man in the light and the crusader killed the Sith Lord, and the wounded Valkyrja and the knight went to the
Netherworld to both recover from their injuries. Here the man could learn a lot about Valkyrja and their city, and the couple also got closer to each other, though only as friends, and Geiseric admitted that he was wrong about the girl and no matter whose daughter she was, she was not a bad person.
Nevertheless, there was some mistrust between them, which after this was mainly due to misunderstandings. For Geiseric cannot always express his feelings well, he did not need them as a Jedi, and Eina does not understand the emotional world of mortals. Nevertheless, their relationship also began to deepen, probably here in the vicinity of Coruscant, falling in love with each other shortly after the Sanctuary trip, although at that time they did not yet know about it. They were there on
Coruscant in the Senate building when the Maw attacked the planet. They both fought against the Sith and Eina even saved Geiseric’s life, but she hurts badly again.
After that, if you can say, the events accelerated, they spent more and more time together, they considered the other friend. Until they reached the
Eternal Empire's ball. Where they essentially confessed that they love each other, even though Eina didn't really comprehend it all, she didn't understand, the man was completely confused her with his behaviour, words, and actions. The man was afraid to commit and thus shattered the girl, who did not understand why it was all happening because she had not received any answers. It was then that she give the
rosary to him what she had made earlier, it was their last encounter in reality for a very long time.
Geiseric fled to the religion and was doing his best to avoid the girl because the encounter would have been too painful. And Eina lost all her confidence, no one explained to her what she was feeling, what she felt, why it all happened. She still didn't understand what she was doing wrong.
Isla couldn't help her either. At that time, no one had any idea what disaster was coming because of that ruined evening…
One of Ashlan Crusade's ships crashed on the
Dark Planet; Eina was the first to arrive on the planet to help the survivors. However, due to the mental injuries caused by Geiseric, she was unable to protect the survivors and was also captured by the locals. There was also Geiseric on the rescue team, which now focused on rescuing her, who was the first to sign up to rescue the girl he loved. However, that planet put his faith and determination to the test.
After the crusader also arrived on the planet, Eina felt it and subconsciously tried to connect with it while during a ritual, local beings tried to transform her. She only struggled to stay alive until Geiseric rescued her. Here the two of them and
Heinrich Faust
saw a shared vision of their own death and the destruction of Ession. Eina tried to speak to the man when her mind was just clear and offered him a Force-bond. For Eina had enough power to create one. Geiseric accepted it, but a Force-dyad developed between them, not a simple bond.
Here they were able to exchange a few words with each other before
Celeste Demici
locked the girl back in her own mind and nightmares. The crusader promised Eina to save her, but not long after he had to find out that if he continued to fight that day, he would die, and so would his companions. The parasite occupying Eina showed the girl when the team gave up on her, as did the man who promised to save her a few minutes ago. Valkyrja gave up the fight, thus the ritual ended, along with her metamorphosis. The man was rescued from falling on the dark side by the rosary he had received from the Valkyrja on that evening.
Their next meeting was
at Zygerria, the man having a hard times when he seeing Eina every night begging him to save her. Geiseric did not understand what the bond was between the two of them, why he felt all of Eina's suffering. Finally,
Ingrid L'lerim
told him and the Empress asked the man to save her daughter. The man eventually met the parasite and managed to reach Eina, where he was not greeted by a beautiful sight. The girl had long since given up the fight, and the parasite had almost completely devoured her soul.
The man was trying to convince her to fight, that he was real, that now he would never leave her again. Eventually, their first kiss also happened here, in her mind, which is why she promised to try to fight. In the months that followed, they spent more time together than before, Eina taught Geiseric what she could do with Dyad, and the man healed her soul. However, they reached a point from which Valkyrja could no longer heal as a prisoner, and if they did nothing to do with the parasite, she would definitely die. Eina spies on the parasite when Hyrva gives orders to them, so they found out they were going to Ession.
The lovers worked out a plan against the parasite. It was risky if the man didn’t win, they would both die. Eina could die if the man tries to kill the parasite and the crusader can die to the girl's death. But they had no choice, they had to try. And the final fight took place on Ession and with that we reached the point how the Crown of Ashla was born.
The fight took place on several fronts, in Eina’s mind and in reality. The Dark Side and the Light Side clashed, it was painful for everyone because everyone was experiencing the same pain they were causing each other. The battle took place in a far-flung place, where you didn’t even have to wait too long for the parasite and Geiseric to meet. At the man's call, the creature appeared almost immediately. They both wanted to end the fight, once and for all.
It was as if Eina had previously felt that this was going to happen, for the gift she had given Geiseric, greatly helped the man to finally succeed in this fight. The rosary protected the crusader from almost every attack that the parasite was trying to attack him. That's why the man remained intact for a long time, but he was able to hurt the creature. When the parasite realized that it would be incapable of hurting the man with Force, who in turn had already inflicted severe wounds on him with Force Light, they changed their method and they were physically trying to kill the crusader.
However, Eina, who was locked in her own mind, could not defend herself. Geiseric's attacks also severely wounded her, with the Force light, a cut caused by a lightsaber on her side. Valkyrja was dying and so the parasite had access to her memories, they already knew what the dyad was for. When the man realized this, he decided to use the
Prosperian soulstone that
Ingrid L'lerim-Vandiir had given him as a Plan B if all else failed. In particular, the parasite attacked him and Eina at the same time. However, something happened here that they could not have expected either.
The crystal was made a long time ago by
Adrian Vandiir and was only modified by Ingrid L'lerim, and the energies of the two of them mingled again in Eina's presence and the energies that make up the girl were created again. Geiseric pierced the parasite's body with a lightsaber, the crystal shattered at that moment and these energies merged into the girl, strengthening, healing her soul. Then she was able to take control of her body for a moment and asked the man to do what was discussed earlier, what he has to do now. The moment of truth has arrived.
The golden light of the Force Light, amplified by the rosary, filled the place, clearing Valkyrja’s body of corruption, killing the parasite. Eina survived, but she was still very weak, and the lovers were finally able to meet again at Realspace after nearly a year of hardship and pain. During their first real kiss, the rosary began to light up again, uniting their wishes, desires, and their purity. The two worlds met again, in every sense, the borders of the two worlds fused together in this place as the lovers were one in the Force as well. The power and Force Light from their strength and soul of the two of them rushed all over the planet, clearing it of all Dark Side corruption.
Because of this, all Force Sensitives and Force Users on the planet became aware of the kind of bond Eina and Geiseric shared, they were one in the Force, and loved each other. And thanks to the joint dream and pure desire and wish of the two of them:
The Crown of Ashla was born.

During the kiss and the birth of the Nexus, the pain alleviated in both of them, Gei's hand healed, just like the injury to Eina's chest. Until the light blinded everything, the sound of wings and feathers could be heard as the angel wings reappeared on Eina's back, and the Nexus helped her regain her form which she always used in the Realspace. By the time the light was gone, Eina was really in her angelic form in Geiseric's arms, though still without a dress. She shone very gently in a golden light, though the light slowly disappeared around her.
Not like in the Force. In the Force, the golden light was strong, she was surrounded by Ashla's light, radiant. So far, Eina has been as neutral in the Force as most of the Valkyrja, but not anymore. The Light side embraced her and flowed from her as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The light in her was just as strong as Geiseric's love, loyalty, determination and willpower to Ashla. Eina reflected that now, after all, they were one in the Force.
The lovers were no longer kneeling on the concrete, they were kneeling on a golden grass at their feet, gold and pale blue flowers bloomed everywhere. There was no sign of the buildings, and golden trees were visible outside, glowing in dim golden light. The power of the Light Side, the Nexus that was familiar from the Sanctuary, permeated everything with a feeling of peace, warmth, security, and the love what they felt for each other. In the distance, the first light of the golden rays of the sun appeared and shone into the ruined building where Eina and Geiseric were.
"I…" she tried to speak, but failed. Eina knew what had happened, what it was, but she was so shocked that she had a hard time finding the words, instead looking into the man's eyes again in disbelief and confusion. Were these just the two of them, or was it none other than Ashla’s will?
