Tales of Umbra

Eye of Kiande

(Severed Robotic Tendril)

There was clicking among many.
A large circular hall.
Lined wall to wall with many Yautja.
They all spoke amongst themselves.
In various armors and sizes.

The matter at hand.
A large Adrift Planet.
And many were seeking the rights to it!
But, the doors to the grand hall opened.
The hinges groaning.

Stepping in.
An averaged size Yautja female.
Dulled red with a horned crown just above her black Pred-locks.
She scanned the room slowly.
At her sides two Yautja guards.

They would stop and turn.
Leaving her to walk further into the center of the room.

Elders

As the many clicks in the room came to silence.
"Your presence has not been requested".
Spoke an Elder among the many beside him.
"Kiande".

The Red female bowed her head in respects to her Elders.
Her mismatched eyes scanning their numbers.

"Well, speak.
Since your intrusion must have meaning".

Kiande reached in the pouch on her hip.
with a rasp in her voice.
"I believe, this belongs to one of you".
Extending her palm, open before the Clan Leaders and Elders.
Inside, the broken mandible of a former Yautja.
Covered in the dried blood of its owner.

Kiande tossed it down before them all.
Meeting their gazes.
"...

This Yautja of yours.
Was sent to kill me,
and take my place.
Convenient how quick this trespasser found their way on my ship".
Listening the low clicks and muttered of dishonor.

But all fell quiet when a Clan Leader stood up.
"Even with an act such as this.
You are still unfit to Claim the Planet".
The leader just slightly taller then Kiande.
Orange and Black in color.
His Pred-locks white with age.

Kiande turning to face her forefather.
Tilting her head to better show her curiosity at his words.
"As if any of you are better?
I did not come here to ask for your permission!
I'm here to tell you.
This, IS my Planet".

Clicks of irritation and growls followed from around her.
But the following Elders did not seem surprised.
Only a few Clan Leader scoffed and grunted at her arrogance.

Yet Kiande stood firm to their doubts and insults.

Worthy

The Clan leader narrowed his bloodshot eyes.
Clicking in low tones and flaring out his mandibles.
But the Elders looked amongst themselves.
One raising his palm to silence the noise.

"Sit".
Commanded one of them.
And the irritated Clan Leader did so among his guards.

While Kiande looked from him to her Elders.
