Another day, another hunt.
It had been several weeks since she last took in the young woman she met on Hoth: Sera Jex. Although their relationship was strictly professional, a bounty hunting partnership rather than a bond between a Mandalorian and her foundling, Song knew the young woman was on the path towards it. What she witnessed on Hoth, the girl’s raw strength and speed, told her she had the potential to don on armor of her own. To become a Mandalorian.
However, to prove she was ready, Song wanted to se how Sera would fare on a real hunt, than a run-of-the-mill bar fight.
They were going after a bounty, an estranged Mon Calamari noble. His capture would mean Sera’s initiation into the Bounty Hunter’s Guild, but for Song? It meant initiation into the Way. If she succeeded, Song would train her like nobody had before. She would help provide her a set of armor, like her own, and the namesake of Clan Wren. A Mandalorian in spirit, as much as mind and body.
As her ship touched down on the clearing outside of Takodana castle, rebuilt since the days of the First Order. According to the Guild report, it was where the Mon Calamari noble was last seen and heard, before he ventured out into the wilderness of space. The Mandalorian hoped to have a few questions answered there.
The ship’s landing ramp hissed, and daylight spilled through. Looking over to Sera, who she had become much friendlier with since their first encounter, Song asked her, “You ready for this?”
The bounty hunter already knew her answer, though.
