A/N: This is my latest venture into playing the amazing sandbox which is An Origami Fish's 'A Destiny Altered' universe...a series of drabbles. Each drabble will focus on a single moment in the lives of one of the characters. I am accepting ideas and requests; you can put your idea or request in a review or PM it to me - either method is fine. It does have to be a concept that can fit into one - hundred words, but that's about it. Enjoy!
Not Gone, Merely Marching Far Away
Nu kyradyc, shi taab echaaj'la. Etain Skirata chants to herself over and over as she watches helmeted Mandalorian warriors she does not even know dump her father's body onto a massive pyre along with those of countless other Mandalorians. She has always believed those words, thought them poetic even, but they are so much harder to say when most of your family has been killed in the space of a few days.
Etain puts on her helmet and lets the tears flow freely. She used to recite only her mother's name. Now, her list of dead relatives is much longer.
