HALLS OF THE FORGEMASTERS, SECTOR 06, TOR VALUM, KESTRI, WILD SPACE
It has been a couple of days after the assault on Rishi. It's always a chore to readjust my body to the weather of Kestri. While I grew up and have spent most of my life here, the climate of this frozen planet has always been my least favorite part of home. I was born on Tatooine, after all, and biology can't lie. The inhospitable weather is also one of the reasons that I support the territorial expansion of our Enclave. Mandalore is a state of mind, not a place. If our ancestors could expand their horizon from the mythical planet of Mandalore, down here to Kestri, what prevented us from doing the same? Kestri will always be home, but there are so many systems out there for our takings.
Today seems to be one of those days in which the weather is extra severe. Just earlier, I've been notified by Emam Kandar that a snowstorm is hitting some parts of the sector. I could technically just stay at home today, since I am having my free day, but both Dad and Emam are out of the house, so it could get boring real quick. Since Emam is in the Halls of the Forgemasters, I decided to come visit and warm myself amidst those scorching forges and furnaces. It does take a bit longer due to some parts of the sectors getting closed, but eventually I made it there.
Emam is not in Kandar's forge today, surprisingly. His mentor is probably taking him to one of those gigantic communal forges. As I made my way to the communal forge, I saw a Shistavanen hanging out in one of the forges. Shai Maji . The tales are plentiful when it comes to this one, the kind of tales that brings the loathings and repulsion out of any devoted Mando'ade. I think dad knows Shai personally, I'm not sure about their relationship and how they felt about one another, but I've heard her name mentioned in the house a couple of times. Still, one doesn't get absolved of their sins just because they are friends with my blood. I glanced my head in her direction as I approached Emam, making sure that she notices the hypothetical side-eyes on my helmet-covered face, only breaking the stare to give my brother a hug.
