War. A necessary misfortune. Our Enclave really needs to change, after decades of stagnation, complacency, and apathy. The war to come is certainly a move towards a better future and direction. The galaxy has always been ours to take, and finally we knock some senses to the elders, to take action, to take what's rightfully ours. Yet, the cost of war will never be something easy to swallow. One of those is the time sacrifice that one has to take, for the sake of the people. Ever since we started the preparation of the wars to come, all of us have been busy with our respective jobs, all for our devotion towards the Almighty and the Tribe of Mandalore. For dad, it is to ensure that the money keeps flowing to the warchest. For Emam, it is to pump out high quality tools of war. And for me, it is to spread the zeal amongst our youth and protect our people from the biggest threat of them all, the Jedi and the Sith.
Today is one of the rare days in which both Emam and I are free. Usually, we spend those days training and drinking, and today is not an exception. We do have a private training ground at home. However, we are planning on hitting town afterwards anyway, Emam recently breaking up with his ex and all (which was totally his fault, but I digress). Thus, we decided to hit the training field in the West Ridge. We grabbed what we needed and took off in our Beskar'gam.
The training ground is relatively empty today. There are a couple of people here and there, but no one familiar. We did a couple of warm-up and shooting reps to start the training, waiting if anyone is going to challenge us for sparring. Without any intent of bragging, Emam is levels below me when it comes to combat. I took dueling and FUs neutralizing as a specialization in my Mandokarla training, while Emam spent most of his time in the art of smithing. It is obviously a very important skill that is essential in the survival of our people, and Emam will one day be a major contributor in our effort to reclaim the galaxy, but it is a fact that when it comes to combat, he is considered average at best. I will never humiliate him and our clan by taking him for a spar in public places.
After finishing our reps, it seems that there is no challenge, still. It might be the clear signs in our Beskar'gam that we are from an influential and respectable clan, it might be the fact that it is still early in the day. It does get boring still, after the reps with training droids and dummies.
