(Completed) Blaster & Blade: A Untold Star Wars Story

Chapter 9

Mal'dar

   The clanging of metal continued for days, townspeople or even occasionally a member of Death Watch would bring him food, most of which went untouched. After four days the near constant sounds of work from the forge came to a stop.

    The two Death Watch soldiers shared a glance. “He finally finished?” aired one.

    The other shrugged, “I don’t know, you go tell the boss, I’ll check”.

    The first Death Watch soldier sighed, “Don’t know why the boss is interested in this guy anyway”. He pressed a button on his gauntlet and his jetpack ignited. He took off towards the Death Watch camp.

    The other Death Watch soldier walked towards the forge. There was still enough steam around that it hung around the forge. “You’re lucky, someone wants to talk to you,” said the soldier.

    “And who would that be,” asked a voice from out the steam.
 
   The Death Watch soldier spun and watched as an armored figure emerged from the steam. His armor was dark blue, except for the vambrances which were black. The helmet was black except for the outline of the visor which was the dark blue, the helmet was also narrower than most Mandalorian helmets and rather than a rangefinder it had antenna mounted on circular hearing enhancers. Dual Westar-35 were in holsters hanging from his hip. The clothes underneath were black, in fact the only break in the color pattern was the left shoulder plate which rather than dark blue was gold with a red owl on it. “Pre Viszla would like to see you,” said the warrior.
Mal’dar tapped his blaster pistols subconsciously, “I would like to see him as well”.
 
   The Death Watch soldier looked him up and down, his gaze locking onto the golden shoulder plate. “Owl for House Kryze, gold for revenge, and red for honoring your parents”. He looked into Mal’dar’s black visor which seemed to absorb all light, “I feel bad for whoever you want revenge against”.
