The night sky overhead glistened with stars. There was a small amount of light coming from the horizon where the sun had just set, but the planet was mostly cast into darkness.
I felt tense as I walked alongside my partner and the child. The mandalorian was confident in his strides as the clan made their way towards a large building.
Street Lights lit the path ahead of us. Lighting up their path and keeping us safe from the wildlife that roamed the area at night. Bright red eyes peered at them from the darkened areas, growling at them as they walked past. I fought the urge to reach for my blaster due to the sheer number of eyes I could see.
Graffiti littered the walls around them, different forms of artwork splattered together on concrete walls. The child made a small whimpering sound as he examined the area with wide eyes.
Din and I stopped outside of a door. An angry looking Twi'lek stood guard outside.
"I'm here to see Gor Koresh." Din spoke to the man
The man briefly looked down at the child before he glanced back up at Din, he stepped aside and gestured to the door.
"Enjoy the fights." The man said. The door slid open and they stepped through.
The noise of people cheering quickly reached my ears as I stuck close to Din's side. A large crowd gathered around a fighting ring that was in the center of the room.
Two Gamorreans fought each other with battle axes. They knocked heads as they tried to swing at each other and take the other one out. After a moment of fighting, one of them fell to the ground. Though he quickly got up again and began to fight the other.
People screamed and cheered as they watched the fight continue. I tried my best to not bump into anyone and stay out of their way. I don't want to start a fight before we even get to the guy we're here for.
Din walked up to a man who was sitting on a bench watching the show. He had one eye and wore a gray and white jacket. Din took a seat next to him and I sat on the other side of him.
"You know this is no place for a child." The man said to Din.
"Wherever I go, he goes." Din stated
"So I've heard." The man replied with a chuckle.
"I've been quested to bring him to his kind. If I can locate other mandalorians, they can help guide me. I'm told you know where to find them." Din stated
"It's uncouth to talk business immediately. Just enjoy the entertainment." The man said
I glanced towards the fighting ring where the two fighters clashed their axes together. I fail to see how this is entertaining.
"Bah! My Gamorreans not doing well. Kill him! Finish him!" He shouted. One of the Gamorreans almost brought their ax down on the others neck.
"Do you gamble, Mando?" The man asked him
"Not when it can be avoided." Din stated
"What about your girl?" The man asked, bending forward slightly so he could look at me.
"No." I stated firmly. Deciding not to bother correcting him.The man sat back up again and turned his attention towards the fight.
"Well, I'll beg you the information you seek that this Gamorreans going to die within the next minute and a half. And all you have to put up in exchange is your shiny beskar armor." The man said
"I'm prepared to pay you for the information. I'm not leaving my fate up to chance." Din stated
"Nor am I." The man said as he pulled out a blaster and aimed it towards the fighting pit. He shot at the Gamorrean and he fell to the ground with a loud thud.
