Into the shadows

The start of the journey of the shadows

On the planet of Navarro, there lies a hidden covert of Mandalorians who are trying to lay low to survive. But they are also trying to protect their oracle so they don't fall into the wrong hands. One day, one of the Mandalorians returns to the covert with two ingots of beskar with the empire's symbol on them. This comes to the attention of their oracle, who has been watching over them in the shadows. The scene plays out as expected, but the oracle wants to laugh as the two of them behave like foundlings. Once the matter is settled, the one in the shadows returns to their meditation room and sits down with their trusted sword laid out in front of them. Silence ensues as they meditate to clear their mind of any thoughts they might have had until footsteps are heard as they sit still.

I was seated in my usual spot when I heard footsteps approaching. I knew it was the armorer, who had been a trusted friend from the beginning and knew my true nature. She stood there in contemplation, carefully choosing her words. "What ails you, my child? What troubles you so that you would seek my guidance?" I experienced a vision while listening to her pleas. In the vision, I was standing in the central plaza and saw Din wearing new armor in the back of a speeder, pinned down, and protecting a small bundle. The vision then shifted to a cloaked figure wielding two lightsabers, and the final image was of a man standing in pitch-black armor. I knew what I needed to do, but I also knew it would not be easy. I stood and sheathed my sword at my waist. The silence was broken when I heard the armorer's voice. "Oracle, what did you see in your vision?" I pondered over my thoughts for the moment as to what I needed to do. I informed her that Din would soon require our assistance, and I would be there to help him as I have always done from the shadows. She nodded her head in assent and departed the room. I gathered my cloak and pulled up my hood to obscure my bright light blue hair and facial markings from the shadows. After leaving the covert, I proceeded to the location where Din had met his client. A week later, Din returned with a pram containing a child. Several hours passed before the door opened again, and Din emerged carrying a canister of what I presumed to be beskar. I waited until the door opened again, then entered the bunker stealthily, remaining in the shadows to avoid detection. I was alerted to a disturbance outside and the stormtroopers rushed to address it. I knew Din had returned to rescue the child. He made short work of the stormtroopers, and I felled several myself with my sword. I followed him, and he turned and pointed his wrist gauntlet at me. He demanded, "Who are you, and why are you following me?" a moment later a trooper came up behind him I took one of my daggers and threw it into the trooper's skull. "My name is Grey Shadow Twas why I followed you will find the answer another time we have a little on to save." When the Mandalorian came to his senses, he lowered his weapon and moved forward to rescue the child. We succeeded in freeing the child, but as we made our way to the plaza, we discovered that the hunter's guild had surrounded us. Fortunately, I was able to remain concealed in the shadows. As I listened to the commotion, Din swiftly boarded the speeder that I had envisioned a week ago. The plaza descended into chaos as blaster fire erupted. I drew my sword and daggers and attacked the hunters to reduce their numbers. When I heard the sound of the other Mandalorians' jet packs, I hastened to Din's ship and concealed myself in the shadows of the cargo hold. The cargo hold door opened, and Din entered, followed by Grief Karga, the Hunters Guild leader. Blasters were fired, and Karga was knocked unconscious. The door closed as Din went to the cockpit and initiated takeoff. Once we were off the planet, I sat in the cargo hold, and everything was quiet in the shadows. Suddenly, I heard footsteps descending the ladder to the cargo hold.

I came down the ladder to my cargo hold of the crest to put the kid in my room. I saw something shifting in the shadows and I pulled my blaster from its holster and aimed. "Show yourself now or I'll shoot." I waited for several minutes until the same figure who helped me save the child at the bunker reappeared. From my brief interaction with them, I only learned their name, Grey Shadow. However, I had the feeling that this was not their real name. They stepped forward, and I recognized them as Grey Shadow, the figure who helped me save the child at the bunker. But the question is how did they get on to the razor crest? Why do they look so familiar to me I have met them before but I have no idea why. While I have to make sure the kid has a safe place to stay, I can't say the same for grey shadow normally I can read someone but with them, I can't for some reason.

Grey Shadow sat down next to the child in the cockpit. The child reached his hands out to them, and they picked him up as Mando entered the cockpit. Mando was puzzled as to why Grey was holding the child, but he could see that the child was asleep. He attempted to see more past Grey Shadow's hood but all he could see was a few strands of light blue hair protruding from it. Grey Shadow noticed Mando's stare and turned to face him. As the starship sped through space, Mando turned to enter the coordinates for their next destination: Soragon. He hoped that this planet might provide a haven for the child from the bounty hunters who were pursuing them. But Grey Shadow, the ship's copilot, sensed that the bounty hunters' trackers would make this place unsafe for them and the child.
