Gray Raxis
Blind and Broken
Gray had received word concerning his cousin [member="Jack Raxis"] recent activities. He had met with him not too long ago and tried to him out of going to war with the other Mandalorians, specifically the Mand'alor and Vizsla clan. That had both worked and failed as a clan war was not self declared by Jack, but he had fled to the Republic to fight for them. The real issue though was that before that had happened and before Gray had been informed of it, Jack had attacked [member="Ra Vizsla"] during the recent invasion in Republic space by the Mandalorian people.
Gray had stayed neutral to the fight for multiple reasons. The people of their clan did not support the unprovoked and aggressive behavior since there was honestly nothing they saw being gained by it or a threat being dealt with. They also didn't have any treaties or alliances with the Republic so they had no real reason to care about the outcome enough to aid them. The main issue though was the clan was dealing with matters in their sector of the galaxy and it was too demanding for them to be able to afford to leave to help anyone right now. The whole situation was just not justifiable for any action but neutrality right now. And so they were going to stay out of their brothers and sisters of Mandalore's way.....then Jack screwed that all up and put the clan at risk.
So Gray had a hard choice at hand, and one that only he as both blood kin of Jack and the Alor of clan Raxis could make. He knew there were those biting at the bit to denounce his clan and possibly even declare a crusade to remove them from the galaxy. He needed to avoid giving them what they wanted, and so he had decided to travel to Mandalore in secret. He had taken only a single pilot to fly his shuttle for him there. He had sent an encrypted message to Ra asking for an audience and gave the location along with the time for the meeting with it.
Gray had met plenty of resistance coming into the planet, which was only to be expected. The Raxian banner was met with a mixture of anxiety and suspicion by the fleet guarding the planet. He gave them no reason to act upon it though, and followed their every order. He eventually found himself at the palace and had left the only two weapons he had brought with him out of habit on the shuttle with the pilot. So he traveled to the location by foot and arrived early.
Gray stood in his Rogue armor with no attachments or weapons on him. He was completely unarmed, partly by choice. He was in the same wing of the palace he and Ra had spoken in before. He looked at the trees while idly thinking over everything. He was nervous about the possible outcome of the meeting and secretly feared the worst. But he also knew there was nothing he could do about that fear other than try to overcome it. He knew what he wanted to do, so all that was left was to do it when his Mand'alor arrived.
