chapter 4. The village elder
by noil23sj
The Togruta are known for their ability to survive. They are prepared to hunt for their food, and the tribes are stuck to tradition. They can easily be provoked and don't like the modern ways. But most notably they only speak a very complex version on Togruti; most of them can't speak basic.
They are very territorial so if a ship landed near the village it may cause some problems.
Anakin was now standing with a spear to his neck and a tall male Togruta demanding something that he didn't know. Obi-wan had gone into the ship to get Ahsoka.
Obi-wan walked into Ahsoka quarters. She was fast asleep. He shook her awake. "hrm?" she muttered but didn't open her eyes.
"Ahsoka, we need some assistance. There is a tall male Togruta outside the ship. " she didn't react "And Anakin's got a spear to his neck" Ahsoka then Shot up, grabed her sabers and ran outside the ship.
"Snips a little help!" Anakin said. The Togruta was shouting " Ta'lack?"
"You've gotten in some situation." she turned to the Togruta "Ta mack Jedi. Toloca basic?" Ahsoka said bowing slightly. "He was asking. Who we were"
The Togruta looked taken back. he lowerd his spear " Roto cican. Kerala it aka basic" he then turned and walked off.
"He is asking for us to follow him. There is a village elder who speaks basic." Ahsoka said.
The three of them then followed the Togruta towards The small gathering of tents.
"Ahsoka" Obi-wan started "What the Togruta's name?"
Ahsoka walked over to the Togruta, asked him something Obi-wan didn't know the translation of. Then she walked back. "His name is Talmarick. He's the son of the village elder"
As the three of them walked into the village there were a few Togruta waking in and out of tents to see the intruders. They stared at the humans but seemed to be ignoring Ahsoka.
The tents were made of Akul skin. There were a few women but there were all watching the Jedi as they walked through.
"Master do you get the feeling were being watched?" Anakin joked. Obi-wan gave him a disapproving glare as they entered a big tent in the centre if the village.
"Wanaka" Ahsoka said as they entered. It was a big tent supported by a wooden frame work. It was covered with animal skin. Sitting in the middle of the room was a very old Togruta male.
"Wanaka to you too, young one. I am Marick, the village elder. Please sit." he motioned to the floor. The three of them hesitantly obliged. Ahsoka seemed to be annoyed to be referred to as 'young one'.
"Thank you. We do not mean to be a pain." Obi-wan said "we are looking for the village Renevat. A young girl sent us a message asking for help. Some metal battle droids over ran the village."
"Those drakids. Tou renamack the Munica.!" Marick muttered under his breath.
"They came through here? Did they say what they wanted" Ahsoka said quickly.
"No little one, they were going to Renevat. They wanted something but simply passed through. But they said they will be back. Once they find her."
"I'm sorry but who's her?" Obi-wan Asked.
All the emotion seemed to fall from mavericks face. He hesitated but finally said "They were after a young girl, she hold information on secret plans. I don't know any more. This girl is only 14 years old, I know her. She is too young. Those metal monsters will only hurt her."
"Did the droids find her? If not we may still be able to find her. We only want to help." obi-wan said.
"Fine but please send her a message. Young girl" he gestured towards Ahsoka "Please if you meet her take this message to her. But tell no-one else. Not even your friends. It is important only she hears this."
Anakin and Obi-wan looked at Ahsoka. She glanced at them, stood up and went toward Marick he whispered something into her ear. She then sat back down but she looked shocked.
"Please do as I ask. Give it only to her."
Ahsoka nodded but didn't say anything. Anakin had just been watching the whole show. "This aside we must be going, the droids could come back any second. We need to get to the village. The girl who sent the message needs our help." he stood up and left the tent.
"I apologise for my friends rushed behaviour but we must be going. We don't want it risk being around here. The droids don't really like us."
Marick nodded and left out the door after Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. "Young girl. Remember Yesermen. And a safe journey to Renevat. If you need any help please come and see me again." Ahsoka nodded and they met up with Anakin he was a few hundred meters outside the village.
Talmarick walked up to the three Jedi. " greatnat" he then bowed slightly.
Anakin had a weird look on his face and Ahsoka said. "It means good journey to say thanks just reply ' Luca'.
"Luca Talmarick" they then made to go but saw something coming out of the shadows. It was a battle droid. Talmarick raised a spear in defence.
Nine other droids then came to join the first one. It said "Halt. Who are you?"
Anakin summoned and ignited his light saber. A smirk came across his face.
Another droid cried "you must be malfunctioning. Their Jedi!"
-so what do you think? if you liked lease review this chapter. It really helps. Also next chapter will be more intersting, I promise.
Like I said earlier the Togruti I'm using is my own creation. So this is how it's pronounced the brackets are how to pronounce it in English.
Ta'lack- who are you?
Ta mack Jedi. Toloca basic (ta mack Jedi. To-lo-ca)- We are Jedi. Do you speak Basic?
Roto cican. Kerala it aka basic ( ro-to si-kan. Ker-al it ak-a basic) – follow me. The elder speaks basic.
Wanaka (Wan-ka) – hello
Those drakids. Tou renamack the Munica ( those dra-kids. T-u ren-a-mack th Mu-nika)- they scared my people.
Yesermen- sorry I can't tell you the meaning yet.
Greatnat ( gre-at-nat)- safe journey
So their you go. BTW the ways of the togruta tribe are all made up, from my head. so they aren't real to the SW universe.
