Character
Tag: Thaddock Fost
Planet Kestri, City of Tor Valum, Warden Quarter
Inside one of many barracks Minerva sat beside her bunk on the wall fully armored, saved for her helmet beside her. With one hand she held a whetstone and her personal Kal dagger in the other, sharpening the latter with the former. The young woman carefully executed and repeated the process over and over again. Her focus was entirely on the task at hand despite the sounds of her bethern all around.
Only after fifteen minutes did she stop at last. Holding up the Kal for closer inspection Minerva quickly noted the reflection of her face from the blade. A half smirk came upon the human's face before muttering. "Excellent."
Subsequently the warrior put down the whetstone before rubbing the side of the dagger with her free hand. Smooth as father would say. At the thought, memories of Jorel Merrik swirled within Minerva's mind. She closed both eyes and said in a whisper.
I wish you were here Buir. No doubt you would find a flaw in my handiwork with this blade but then show me how to do it better.
Suppressing a sigh Minerva opened her eyes again before bringing her dagger down. Then she looked up toward the rest of the quarters. Several fellow warriors in or out of armor were either cleaning their weapons, resting in their bunks or chatting with their friends. Meters away to the left there were five of them playing cards at a table with a few chairs.
For a moment she was tempted to go join in but stopped herself. Shaking her head, Minerva silently realized. No, I want more than just some game.
Sheathing her dagger then putting on her helmet Minerva got up from the bunk. With that she strolled to the opposite side of the card, nodding in acknowledgment to a Transdosen in armor passing by. For the next few minutes Minerva marched down a hallway decorated with Mandalorian symbols and those of various clans.
Sparing a glance here from one side to the other Minerva thought. One day I will prove myself worthy of a clan. Either I join one or forge a new family that will bear my name.
Turning to a corridor she stepped inside to a training facility complete with dozens of fight rings, gym equipment and a large obstacle course at the far end of the right side. Already there were Mandalorians exercising or sparring with one another.
Then Minerva glanced around hoping to find someone she can train with.
