Ren and I walk side by side from the ship, storm troopers in formation behind us. As I walk, I pin my cloak with a symbol of the First Order given to me by General Hux. This was apparently necessary in convincing the Mandalorian people that the Order was an ally of their duchess. Crowds of men and women begin to gather, holding confused expressions. Based on their tidy appearances, we were in the capital city, which had remained untouched from the bombings. A pre-emptive favor by the First Order I'm sure. I was instructed by some general to wave and smile at the crowds, but it was hard to put on such an act. Instead, I just nodded at some, who repeated the gesture, as if they understood the situation. For that I was grateful. The crowd gathered around me, reaching out to me. I looked back to Ren and the general, and they motioned for me to begin speaking. I held up a small device to my mouth, which somehow managed to carry my voice for miles.
"People of Mandalore. I, Ariadne Kryze, have returned home at long last for my people." I paused for a moment giving a reassuring smile to the crowd. "As you have probably noticed, I do not come alone. With me are the leaders of the First Order. The people who once bombed our cities," I paused, giving the crowd a moment to ponder on my words, "have promised to aid us now, and to help us prosper, if we help them in return." I plastered an artificial smile on my face, and took a deep breath. "But, there is one thing I would like to do before this. I am withdrawing my title as Duchess, and will now be known as your "Alor" as our ancestors would have it. As your Alor, I have one request, and it will probably be my last." It takes all the courage I have left to say what I have planned. "Akaanir!" I let out a war cry in Mando'a. "Fight for your home. Do not back down." I scream as I throw down the First Order pin clipped to my chest. I feel a forceful grip on my shoulder begins to pull me back. "Akaanir! Mando'ad draar digu!" I yell as I am thrown to the ground. From the ground I hear screams and yells, followed by the sounds of blasters. Chanting begins to pick up, the crowd disorderly, with one common goal in mind. Destroy the Order. And in that moment, I knew this was a fight worth dying for.
