Kote Runi stood next to her master on Geonosis. She was of Mandalorian decent, her parents were killed when she was five. Kote saw her parents murdered, no one knew not even the Jedi. Kote Runi was a Mandalorian name meaning 'Glory Soul' in Galactic Basic. Kote was itching for a fight, the warrior blood flowing through her. She was only twelve but considering she was taken early as a Padawan Learner and her Mandalorian decent, she was allowed on this mission. Besides she was an excellent fighter. The exact truth is that she wasn't actually allowed to fight she had to gather intelligence about the other side.

Kote

Her Master's voice came through the bond interrupting her thoughts

Yes Master?

Go Now

Yes Master.

Kote started walking towards the balcony where the Fett's were standing with Count Dooku. It was hard to walk in the Mandalorian armour she was wearing. Kote sighed and pushed through the crowd. Placing the helmet over her blonde ponytail, she dodged more Geonosians. Suddenly she stopped in her tracks as the native bug people started to fly away and a Battle erupted in the middle of the arena.

That fast. She thought. Wow

Kote Her Master's voice rang in her mind RUN!

Kote always listened to her Master, but it was strange that he was telling her to run.

Master? She asked

KOTE RUN NOW!

This time she listened and ran

Master?

Kote please get away from here.

Yes Master

Oh and Kote, I'm sorry. With that the bond they shared snapped

MASTER! Kote called out through the empty bond

Master please!

Kote fell to the floor in tears. She took her helmet off and placed it next to her.

Master, please no.

It was a while later, when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Padawan" A voice said "Padawan Runi are you alright?"

Kote sat and faced the Jedi.

"Yes Master Kenobi, I'll be fine" She replied.

"I'm sorry about your Master, he was a great man"

Kote smiled for a split second.

"Come Kote, let's get back to the transport"

"Yes Master Kenobi"

"Kote, Your Master would want you to have this".

Master Kenobi handed Kote her Master's lightsaber.

"Thank You" she mumbled standing up and grabbing her helmet.

Kote followed Master Kenobi to the transport that was waiting. As she reached the battle field she heard someone sobbing.

"I'll be back" She told Master Kenobi as she ran towards the source of the crying.
