The tale of the brotherhood
Chapter Two: Inflamed
Karrk and Raset stepped inside the hall. It was tall, forming the middle tower of the temple. Both were honored to be here, inside the Room of Debate. It was where the temple's high caste members met, and discussed the important matters. Teela looked weary, like she was bearing alone the whole fate of this temple. When everybody was ready, Teela spoke. "Supreme Chancellor Palpatine of the Republic, is sending some of its troops here to hunt down some smugglers who work for a crime lord," Gaskhat, a Trandoshan fightlord, stood up. "Blasphemy! No military person has ever stepped on our sacred grounds!" Gaskhat looked meaningfully at Neeret, an Annoo-dat commandclaw. "Is there a report of enemy fighters within our atmosphere?" "Are you suggesting I'm a traitor?" Gaskhat sneered at him. "Guess," Neeret jumped into a fighting position. Gaalakkis spoke up. "Gaskhat! Neeret has proven his loyalty more than you have," Gaskhat looked at Gaalakkis as he was insane. "Are you suggesting I am a traitor, brother?" "No, but less trustworthy on these matters," "I tell you, Neeret has been polluted my his time with humans," "You are the polluted one here!" Yunnak, a Barabel bladehand, said, pulling up his sword. "Do you mock me, Yunnak!?" Gaskhat asked anger visible in his eyes. "What if I do?" Yunnak spat at him. With a feral cry, Gaskhat jumped at Yunnak, but was thrown back with the Force, by a Trandoshan lightmaster, Takhis. Karrk shook his head. "Useless," he stepped forth and spoke out loud. "Have any of you seen holovids of the Republic's senator meetings?" If nothing more, Karrk managed to silence the squabbling bunch of reptiles. "I have. They battle just like this. No wonder the Supreme Chancellor isn't afraid to send troops here, if we only battle amongst ourselves," Karrk saw his words taking effect and backed next to Raset, who was barely managing not to burst into laughter. The enraged high-caste members sat back to their chairs. Neeret let out a long sigh. "Young Karrk is right. This is of no use," a knock came at the door. "Come in," Gaalakkis called. A young, probably only a disciple, came panting inside. "Republic ships have landed outside the forest borders," Gaalakkis dismissed him. Karrk shot everyone a meaningful look, though for his luck no one noticed it. "Karrk and Raset, go and raise the alarm,"
