I do not own Star Wars or anything related to it. Star Wars belongs to Disney.
Embo tipped his head in respect to the grave. He kneeled down, running his fingers through dusty soil, and silently swore a prayer under his ventilated breath. He would avenge them. It was the honorable thing to do.
The Kyuzo turned his head at the sound of movement before disappearing to hide behind the outcropping of rocks as two pairs of sandmen came wandering through the pass. Embo unsheathed his bowcaster and gripped it in his slim hand. The raiders' curiosity was spiked at the small, burning wreckage ahead, and cautiously approached. They prodded at the debris with their pikes before scavenging for useful parts.
Embo waited patiently for the right time to strike, peering around the rocks. He coiled his legs in preparation to jump when he heard a long, cry-like howl. The wail startled the sandmen and echoed through the canyon.
An Anooba pack, a dozen in number, could be seen charging forward and led by their pack leader. The screams of the raiders was cut short and Embo watched in admiration for the animals. He sat there after dusk observing the pack until they had left. He swiftly jumped down to the site and gathered dried twigs. Soon, a fire was crackling in the night.
He was cleaning the brim of his hat when a whimper came from the shadows. An Anooba, smaller than most of the others, limped closer. His front leg was bleeding and broken. Embo encouraged the creature on, speaking gently in his native tongue.
The Anooba's ears drooped in submission and it came along side the bounty hunter. Embo lifted the leg in his hand before pulling out a swath of bacta bandage. He wrapped it taut, ruffling the Anooba's fur. It growled in pleasure and lay down.
Embo laughed, staring up to the sky. Freedom was good. It was Marrok. Embo glanced at the sleeping creature. "Ah, Marrokā¦"
