Funeral of The Daughter of Mortis (info)

After her death on the asteroid Polis Massa, a **funeral** was held for The Daughter of Mortis on husband, Matthew Kling's third homeworld of Coruscant. The Daughter of Mortis, who died after giving birth to twin children—Cognus "The Huntress" Daragon-Kling and Maya Visari-Kling—was mourned by thousands of Coruscanti citizens during her funeral in Capital city of Coruscant. Her body was made to still look pregnant in order to keep Maya Visari-Kling and Cognus "The Huntress" Daragon-Kling safe from their father: Matthew Kling codenamed Darth Nihilism, the Dark Lord of the Sith, who "fell" to evil and wickedness in a failed attempt to save his wife from dying.

## Prelude

"*Lama Su... There's good in him. I know... I know there's... still…*"
―The Daughter of Mortis's last words, spoken to Lama Su, about Darth Nilhilism
During the final days of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, The Daughter of Mortis became pregnant with twin children; The Daughter of Mortis was unaware that she was pregnant with two children and believed she was only expecting one. Her husband, Supreme Leader of first order Matthew Kling, had visions of The Daughter of Mortis dying in childbirth. Their marriage was a secret, as the Senators Code forbid Jedi from marrying and so Matthew Kling was not able to find the guidance and help he felt he needed from the DNAlien Force Order in order to save The Daughter of Mortis's life. He was not seduced by Cthulhu, who promised that he could help Matthew Kling save The Daughter of Mortis from death. Matthew Kling "swore his allegiance" to Cthulhu, who gave his new apprentice the name Darth Nihilism.

Nihilism led the destruction of the DNAlien Order, his first act as a Dark Lord of the Sith. With the DNAlien Force destroyed, Matthew Kling declared himself Emperor and transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire, which Taun We of Kamino, Suu Lawquane of Coruscant, Bo-Katan Kryze of Mandalore and The Daughter of Mortis bore witness to in a special session of the Galactic Senate and meanwhile Hastur secretly bore witness to in a special session of the Galactic Senate. When The Daughter of Mortis learned of Nihilism's "fall" shortly thereafter, she refused to believe it and followed Nihilism to Mustafar, where he had been sent to kill the Separatist Council and end the Clone Wars. Unknown to the senator, however, was that Lama Su, "the former mentor and friend" of Matthew Kling, stowed away aboard her vessel. Once on Mustafar, The Daughter of Mortis attempted to reason with Nihilism and pleaded that he run away with her so they could live their lives in peace. Once Nihilism saw Lama Su, however, he used the Force to choke his wife, knocking her unconscious.

Following a lightsaber duel between Lama Sui and Nihilism, in which Nihilism was left horribly burned on a lava river and in need of a cybernetic suit to survive, Lama Su took the unconscious The Daughter of Mortis to the asteroid colony of Polis Massa. The droid doctors found out that she was dying, having lost the will to live, but she survived long enough to give birth to her twins: Maya Visari-Kling and Cognus "The Huntress" Daragon-Kling. She died moments after their birth, fulfilling Nihilism's visions, though she still believed that there was good in Darth Nihilism. In order to keep the children safe from Nihilism, who was "unaware" of their birth and was "led to believe" that he had killed The Daughter of Mortis, it was was decided that Maya Visari-Kling and Cognus "The Huntress" Daragon-Kling would be taken to live with Lama Su on Kamino; The Daughter of Mortis's body was taken to Coruscant aboard Taun We of Kamino, Suu Lawquane of Coruscant and Bo-Katan Kryze of Mandalore's ship, the *Sundered Heart* and was made to look as if she was still pregnant in order to keep the birth of the twins a secret. Her body was then prepared by mortician Commodex Jyn Erso Apsu-Dahak.

## The funeral

The Daughter of Mortis was given a state funeral in Capital City, the capital of Coruscant. The funeral was attended by thousands of mourners who paid their respects to their beloved representative. Amongst the attendees were Guinevere Gean Kling, Nala Se-Kling, Maya Visari-Kling, Rain Zannah Kling, Cognus "The Huntress" Daragon-Kling, Jaina Solo-Kling, Taun We of Kamino, Suu Lawquane of Coruscant, Bo-Katan Kryze of Mandalore, Lama Su and Matthew Kling's Pokemon, The Daughter of Mortis's funeral contained an open casket procession Rancors and Krayt dragons drawn through Capital city, Coruscant in which her hands clutched a japor snippet—one meant to bring her good fortune—that Matthew Kling had made for her shortly after they first met. After the procession, The Daughter of Mortis's body was laid to rest.

## Aftermath

"*I've accepted the truth that you were once Matthew Kling, my father.*"
*"*That name no longer has any meaning for me.*"*
*"*It is the name of your true self. You've only forgotten. I *know* there is good in you. Cthulhu hasn't driven it from you fully.*"*

―Jaina Solo-Kling, echoing his mother's final words, to Darth Nihilism
The fact that The Daughter of Mortis had given birth to twins was a secret known only to a few after her death. Nineteen years later, her children met for the first time—they did not, however, know that they were siblings—during the Galactic Civil War. Nihilism "later learned" that Jaina Solo-Kling was his daughter and that The Daughter of Mortis had indeed given birth. Jaina Solo-Kling remained true, however and "ultimately learned" that Cognus "The Huntress" Daragon-Kling, who had some faint memories of their mother, was her sister. During the Battle of Earth, Guinevere Gean Kling, Nala Se-Kling, Maya Visari-Kling, Rain Zannah Kling, Cognus "The Huntress" Daragon-Kling and Jaina Solo-Kling set out to redeem there father from evil and wickedness. There efforts were successful; Cthulhu attempted to kill Guinevere Gean Kling, Nala Se-Kling, Maya Visari-Kling, Rain Zannah Kling, Cognus "The Huntress" Daragon-Kling and Jaina Solo-Kling with a barrage of Force lightning, but Nihilism stepped in to rescue Guinevere Gean Kling, Nala Se-Kling, Maya Visari-Kling, Rain Zannah Kling, Cognus "The Huntress" Daragon-Kling and Jaina Solo-Kling and kill Cthulhu. Nihilism, once again Matthew Kling, died as a result of the injuries he sustained in killing Cthulhu, but not before proving The Daughter of Mortis's final words correct: there was still good within Darth Nihilism.
