Verdari's POV
We arrive in Dathomir's orbit, I hear this planet is the home to the Night Sisters. A group of witches made from outcasts from other clans on this planet. I arrive at the bridge and see the blood red planet, I turn to Grievousand ask,
Verdari: So why are we here General?
Grievous: We have been sent by Count Dooku to kill the Nightsister, for the betrayal of his apprentice Ventress.
I nod and stare out of the bridge at the planet,
Verdari: This will be a bloodbath. Today lots of lives will be lost on one side, sad. They would have been good allies.
The General nods in agreement and walks out of the bridge and heads towards the hanger. I turn around and follow him out of the bridge. We arrive in the hanger and I head towards the troop transport ship. I get on and look around. I'm used to clones, not droids. The transport takes off and the droids all look at me. One speaks up,
B1: Sir, why are you on the transport ship?
Verdari: It is to show that we are not better than our troops. At least that is how it was.
The droid nods and they all go back to standing in ready position. I walk to the front and wait for the ship to touch down. Even though this ship isn't pressurized, my suit allows limited protection against the environment of space. The ship touches down and the door opens. I see Grievous standing there talking to a woman in red robes and points at the transport ship
Grievous: -That army.
I walk out of the ship and the droids follow. The woman looks at me,
???: And who is that Grievous?
Verdari: My name is General Verdari. I am here to supervise Grievous. Who are you ma'am?
Night Mother: I am known as the Night Mother. You and Grievous are trespassing on our land
I hear lightsaber ignition and see Grievous with all four arms out.
Grievous: I am here to exterminate the Night Sisters.
She disappears in a green mist as Grievous goes to cut her down. He begins to traverse the harsh environment of Dathomir. I follow him as he cuts down the Night Sisters with no remorse. I hear crying and see Grievous going towards it, I hold up my hand.
Verdari: I will take care of the child Grievous. Continue your mission.
He nods and walks off with the droid army, when they are out of ear shot I walk into the room and see a little girl on her knees in front of her parents bodies. I take a heavy step to announce my presence. She gets up and turns to me,
???: STAY AWAY! YOU ALREADY HAVE TAKEN THEM!
I raise my hand and sit down on the floor cross legged. I look at her and motion for her to come closer. She doesn't budge from her spot, I nod understanding the reaction.
Verdari: What is your name child?
She looks at me scared of my voice. Hesitantly she says,
Merrin: M-m-my name is Merrin
I nod and grab my red lightsaber. She gets in a fighting stance, I shake my head and set it down on the floor. I look up at her, and I use the force to push the lightsaber away from me.
Verdari: Merrin, I would like you to take a seat please. I would like to chat with you
She looks confused, but slowly she walks to me and sits down in front of me.
Merrin: Mister, if you are not here to kill me like the metal man, why are you here?
Verdari: To see if I was wrong.
