Abi nods as Duke Malvern spoke.
=Abigail=
I- Thank you, your grace. And you have my word, House Bruce will be a staunch ally in the days to come.
Her mood improved since things with the Duke cleared up, though she still felt for the people of the city. She wished nothing more than to see this city free and cleared of those who would continue to oppose her new allies.

Lucien was pleased to hear that the Baroness was grateful. He bows his head to both women respectfully.
In the mean time, you are welcomed to reside here in the city or relocate to the safety of my encampment. Conditions will not be the best, though, till the rebel forces are pushed back and defeated from the vicinity of the Saffia.
The Duke Malvern looks at Abigail.
Once the rebels are defeated, you will certainly expect an expedition force sent, from my own forces, to help you regain your ancestral lands.
Lucien smiles at the young Baroness.
In the future, if you need anything, House Malvern will gladly provide any means to rebuild your family. For as you say, we will be staunch allies. We have all lost much due to these warlords and Serenno will need to be united if it is to be rebuilt.

Lyrica stood watching from a distance as Jedi Knights descended from small cargo ships and transports. She'd put the call out, despite the lack of response from Everett to her offer. She could sense a change about to happen in the air, and decided to take a risk and bring in her people. They were of all professions: builders, workers, officers, but the one common thing they shared, regardless of what other commercial profession they had: They were all first and foremost, Jedi Knights. There was not a single one of them that was past the age of twenty-five.
None of them could live that long.
There were dozens on the ground and bringing out supplies or weapons, but there were still hundreds more to come. Since the concentration of the warlords' armies were quite specific, it was possible to avoid conflict or no-fly zones, allowing for a relatively safe entry. Lyrica coordinated and conferred with a few knights. She wanted at least a dozen of them to remain with the healers camp, so that they'd have able-bodied defenders if there ever came a need to move or mobilize the camp and their wounded.
She felt so tired.
Eventually, she was standing alone, lost in thought.

When the large Chistori addressed her, the tiny woman gave a start, though she didn't really move or flinch so much as just take slightly deeper, quicker breath than normal, and turned to look up at him. He was so imposing, or maybe it was just his size compared to all five feet and two inches of her. “I am always ready for wherever the Force leads, Master Titus,” said Lyrica softly, her breath becoming uneven, and she quickly pulled up the breathing mask to cover her nose and mouth as she took deep gulps of air, “but I still mourn ahead for the losses to come.”
She looked up at the Chistori, “All life is precious, even those deemed 'evil' for their deeds. I am sad it has come to this. Nevertheless, I am ready for what needs to be done, as are my people. What of yours?”

Titus lowered his gaze to watch as Lyrica pulled up her breathing mask to assist her. Between her high regard for life and her less than ideal health condition, he still had his concerns despite her reassurances
Life is a temporary state of being young one... We come from the Force and return to it when we die...
He looked over toward the Nemesis-class Gunship, his forces assembled and ready to load up and deploy to their mission
Fighting is the only way of life me and my people have known since the day we were born...

The Chistori intrigued Lyrica. It felt like a paradox of sorts, but then, the same could be said of her and her people. They were gentle and nice, most of the time, but if it came down to it, they could prove to be relentless and tireless hunters when they're on the trail of the Sith or Dark Jedi. It was why they were afflicted by the Sith in retaliation, to reduce their physical capacity and lifespan to a mere sliver of what it once was.
The Chistori has seen the way she needed to pull up the mask just so she could get more oxygen into her body than she could underwise pull in on her own. He probably worried for her.
“Perhaps it is just as well, Master Titus,” said Lyrica, “this battle will test us all, and claim so much before it is sated. If the Force wills it, my people and I are ready to lay down our lives for the people of this world. We will gladly battle alongside the Chistori, and purge the influence of the Dark Corruption.”

Three of the House Guardsmen guided Alesha back toward the ship they had arrived on, leaving two with Abi. She thought for a moment before responding to Duke Malvern.=Abigail=I would like to know at least the faces of those I will be drawing blades alongside, before battle is joined. She began making her way toward the command center. ========================== Back at the Malvern encampment, orders were going out from the various commanders. Battle was ensue within a short time and the Duke Malvern wanted his soldiers readied for battle. The soldiers gathered into rank and file, listening to the orders and commands of their appointed officers before heading to their designated points. The Malvern forces were preparing a large counter offensive alongside the recently liberated domains and their own troops. Malvern intended to display the power and might of his house, but not for the sake of ambition, for the future of Serenno and her deserved freedom from tyranny, oppression, and darkness. |

Abi gave a low curtsy to the gathered Lords and Ladies. She took careful note of each one. She was especially surprised to see Chistori, but as her courtly graces had drilled into her, she did not show it. A smile was on her face, revealing her dimples. But as she returned to her full height, she spoke to the assembled nobility.
=Abigail=
I am sorry that I did not arrive sooner. My grandmother and I had only just heard of the resistance that had mounted, and we came as quickly as possible. While I only have some 30 souls at my command, my family retained much of our wealth. And I will leverage my families assets to the betterment of our homeworld.

Lyrica nodded at the Chistori when he spoke, then turned to see where he was redirecting her attentions to, and she watched the nobles of Serenno who were beginning to return, intending to put an end to tyranny. It was always fascinating, exciting even, if she were willing to indulge herself in such an emotional state.
Lady Bruce carried herself with an air of dignity and pride fitting to her station, but also a curious air of youth and...innocence? By her guessing, she was actually a few years older than Lyrica herself, but nevertheless, she could feel strength about the noblewoman not unlike what she could glean from many individuals here.
She drew out her sword, and held the blade high in both a gesture of salute and a display of her readiness, as she spoke, “Baroness Bruce, my people and I stand ready to render our aid to your cause.”
She had to draw on the Force to keep herself standing upright when she felt a bout of dizziness, and it was all she could do to not collapse outright, which would be a little embarrassing right after she made such a claim as to be ready for battle.

Maximus felt the subtly slip in Lyrica, the Force drawing to her. He reached out with his right hand, slipping it behind her back to help keep her steady. Were they alone, he might have made mention of her condition as reason enough for her to be side lined. But he suspected nothing he said would stop her from engaging in the fight that was to come. Instead, he would make sure to stay close so that she made it through this fight. He gave a nod to the Baroness
A noble action... Once we clear out the last of the corruption that infects this world. Welcome to the cause...

Abi raised her saber hilt to return the salute to Lyrica and gave her a warm smile. It was certainly nice to see another female in this alliance. Lowering her saber, she offered a friendly smile to all present. She made her way toward the Chistori and woman who had spoken up. And gave a low curtsy to them.
=Abigail=
Thank you for your warm welcome. I am ready to fight, my grandmother has taught me much and I look forward to using her knowledge to free our home.

At some point during the siege, new forces began to appear from the far distance of the city. At first it seemed that the followers of the dark side have recieved more reinforcements, as they were hard to identify at first. Yet the light force presence of the host's majority as well as the few Rancor riders, which revealed themselves when moving outside of the forest indicated that no other than the Dathomirian Enclave has come to the aid of Saffia's citizens. Guided by the force, Mother Gaelle Drashi utilized her knowledge of Farsight in order to determine forces with a common cause, as the host slowly arrived nearby the encampments of other Jedi Lords, parlaying eventually with the other Light side force users.

Eventually, a group of soldiers issued from the encampment as Lucien Malvern came forth to meet with whoever requested the parlay. The sentry wasn't wrong though, there were Rancors with riders and they were on Serenno. First time hearing of such a creature on this planet. Lucien halted eventually, scanning the force before him, waiting to see who would come forth as their commander. |

Wearing a durasteel breastplate over her clothes solely in order to remain mobile, the leader of the Dathomirians was present, when Duke Malvern attended the parlay. Flanked by two Kodashi lancers, Dathomiri brothers and sisters wielding energy lances and two other Clan witches, the Sisters' version of the Jedi, she went forward, leaving her guard eventually behind as she approached Malvern.
Respectfully she lowered her head before speaking up directly.
Greetings Jedi, she simply said, feeling that he had a connection to the Force as well, once she was close to him, "I am Mother Gaelle Drashi, leader of the Dathomiri enclave of Torvus, located within the jungles. Droids have taken up their arms and attempted to attack the temples - yet we were able to repell their attacks. When we heard that the rest of Serenno was under assault by similiar threats, we came as the balance is disturbed. Thus we are here to restore it... in hopes that we fight for a common goal."
Gaelle wasn't sure if the Jedi even needed their help, as she wasn't sure whether they would see them as primitives of a heresy religion or accept that they were on the same side of the Force, following similiar philosophies which showed only a few differences. Knowing the tales of her own mother, the previous clan leader, the enclave had adapted over the decades more to the teachings of the Jedi than to the traditional ways, even if these were still present. In the end technology and local society had shown its marks upon the enclave despite its isolation - yet it wasn't necessarily a bad thing as even in exile the Dathomirians were able to adapt.

Lucien would look at those that followed Mother Drashi after the matriarchal leader had spoken her piece. Dathomiri Witches on Serenno... seems the chaos of the planet had attracted more than just Saurians and long-living Near-Humans. The presence of these Witches seemed strange, especially given their desire to restore the planet to peace just as the others desired to do. Then again, the young Duke recalled his days under his tutor, Sir Regus, who taught him of external affairs near Serenno and within the galaxy. From what he recalled, the Witches were neither dark nor light, though their practices and techniques seemed more along the lines of Sith. Yet, a number of them had been Jedi as well. After all, Teneniel Djo, a Dathomiri Witch, became the Queen Mother of Hapes and mothered Tenel Ka, a notable Jedi, who mothered a Solo child, Allana.
Mother Drashi, I am Lucien Malvern, leader of House Malvern, who are native to this world, and Duke of Fiyarro. It is a surprise, a great surprise, to see aid come in the form of your own people from the Enclave. It has been known that the droid armies, commissioned by the late Lord Dooku, have been turned against us or remained shut down. They are a great resource though... we can only hope to regain control of them once peace is restored.
Lucien pauses upon hearing a rancor snarl slightly, causing his gaze to glance to the side. Some of his soldiers moved back a few steps, weapons in hand. The Serennonian raises his hand to relax his soldiers... though doubtful it would achieve anything. He suspected that none of his personnel and commanders had seen such a beast in reality.
However, we welcome any who desire to see my home restored. Far too long has Serenno been ravaged by these warlords... the people cry for peace and the world desires stability once more. Saffia will be the staging area, the foundation, from which we will launch our campaign to restore the planet, to unify Serenno, and end this darkness.
