And morning came they all now went
With peasant men to town their sent.
And long they stride across the land
To village far that's killing planTo see what sight's that place does give
If any vantage land does bid
Against the bandit coming hard
Upon the peasant's farming yard.And long the lands they current stride
Until the morning ends its tide
And sun does raise and mid-day falls
On top the host on road yet sprawled.And all do stop to rest their feet
And words of Kelan men do greet."Behold that Towan the brute before
Who sought to join our battle chore
Across that ridge behind us comes
His manner mean and highly strung."And all do look across the plain
At man who following closely deigns
To try and join their winding way
And go on chore these men were gave.And Varik old but filled with life
Did laugh to see the warrior's strife."This man is daft but good at heart
And comes along to play his part
He sought to gain the former day
Though none in midst this path yet bade."And Cable answered nodding head
To see the man on foot now sped."To honor great like feudal code
This man's own conscious current goads
To join our plight and come this way
As noble thought this man has made.And courtly laws would bid me deem
Allow this man to join our team."But still the other men yet deemed
This bloke to foul and cruel and mean.
But most of all was Saubio made
Against the man who on the came.Notice here young padawans the beginning of the unraveling of the one good decision they made this entire journey. We see here the reoccurring theme that non Jedi have in regards to wearing us down and letting them join.
