Serena & Din

Chapter 11: Ambush

Author's Note: The next few chapters will be set in places inspired by my recent travels through Germany and Poland

The terrain of Sorgan was one of most unique compared to its neighbors. To humans, it's considered "The second Goldilocks" because of its wonderful climate, perfect for just about any sort of life. Almost. When the Razor Crest and small 650 carrier docked to the small common house, where all visitors to the planet did, they were greeted to the sounds of... silence. "Is it always like this ?" asked Serena with a note of uncertainty.
"No, at least not when Dune and I were last here." Din surveyed the surrounding area through his visor "Be cautious, anything can be lurking around this skughole." As they walked off the plank, Serena drew a deep breath of the crisp forest air. Air lingering with scents of alcohol, pines, and... blood? As the sight of the brewhouse came near, it became clear that things have certainly changed.

"Well looks like someone went to town with this lot." Skylar says as he walks up to Serena and Din. "You think?" Serena replies sarcastically with a tinge of bitterness. There before them laid massacred remains of imperial soldiers, thier faces blank, eyes dialated. then Din asks 'You sure your boys can handle this?' As he gestures to the 20 men (under the watchful eye of Bo-Katan and her mates) retching their breakfast from the sight. "Hey, don't underestimate us just yet!" Skylar exclaimed, then said sheepish " We were just... queasy. The food messed up their system is all."

"Whatever you say, pirate," Serena glares "Seems to us your fierce warriors have gone putty." Skylar grumbled beneath his breath, as he tried to rally his men back to place. "You'll make us lose an extra hand."

"Remind me why we took them again?"

"Because," Din said, "three against gods know how many dangers we face won't be enough. The bigger we are, the better."

"Too bad our 'number' doesn't have the stomachs to match."

Din rolled his eyes in annoyance, but nevertheless, they'll have to deal with it. "Dune! Ready to move?" He yelled to the carrier dock.

"All set!" Out stumbles Carasythnia Dune, with ammunition head to foot. Serena could only stare. "Ummm, Dune? Isn't that bit-"

"Much?! Never!" She exclaimed, rather overcherrily." Trust me girl you're looking at a someone who killed for half of thier lifetime. All right, enough delay let's move out!"

"Strange..." Serena murmured as she left the corpses to join the group.

So they set out, this unlikely company on thier journey (A/n one that has been long delayed.Sorry!) to finding Kyrone Shaise. They had passed the marshes,and soon the trail began to become rocky. "By the way," Bo-Katan said out of the blue, "you still haven't told us who this 'Kyrone' guy is? I'm assuming a relative or something?"

"My uncle," Serena said as she jumped a fallen log. The mere mention of his title gave a bad taste in her mouth, then asked "You remember when Skylar's men began chanting about Gaurdians?"

"Yes,"

"Well, he and my father founded this... 'society' that believe in these Guardians."

"Your father and uncle made a cult?" Skylar asked bluntly, raising an eyebrow.

Serena just rolled her eyes and sighed " You can say that I guess. From what I understood when I was little, they were special healers, both in herbs and force healing. I'm surprised you don't know Rex, considering some of your men may be followers."

"Actually, they were told to say that by the client."He said nonchalantly. Serena's eyes narrowed.

"Sooo, they were Jedi?" Din asked, slightly confused ( also while trying to break the ice). He's had to deal with the famous "sorcerers" before when returning one of thier kind. When he said the word "Jedi", Serena's face went blank. 'Has she not heard of them?' he thought, but then she shrugged and continued
