a line in the sand...

[Elifain]

Elifains ship dropped out of hyperspace, above the planet Deoun Prime. He quickly set the ship to set down on the surface, in a shadowy corner of the forest.
Last time he had heard of this area, he had sent his soldiers to destroy a facility. They had accomplished the mission, and then some. What brought him back was whispers. Whispers of a mandalorian with a cloak that bore a strill, with pitch black armor, with a red tear.
If this was a man masquerading in a drakainians armor, they would be slayn. If not, then elifain and roland was not alone anymore.
He locked up the weapons locker, which contained his suply of grenades, the verpine. He shouldered the Mandalorian assult rifle, and a WESTMAR pistol, while slipping his sabers in their custom slots on the armor, hiding them from view.
He turned, and walked down the loading ramp, and into the forest, the strill, which he named werda following close behind him, and the ysalamir in the ship he left behind.

[Elifain]

The strill at his side seemed a little nervous, for a moment, so Elifain stopped, and crouched down, putting his gauntlet'ed hand down to the creatures face, before scratching behind its ears.
He said, in a gentle tone, Oya werda... Oya... And the strill perked up and was a tad more comfortable. Elifain smirked, before moving on into the forest, rifle trained forward. He had seen a quick report his computer drew up for him, before landing, so knew that if he headed due west from the ship, he would find the village where the rumor had started.
He hoped that soon after that, he would find who he was looking for, and one way or another, be done with this mission.

[Elifain]

Elifain and werda, the strill, moved quietly through the brush, the strill slightly ahead, slithering across the path every so often, as it raced through the forest, and Elifain right behind it. Elifain knew the strill probably knew where it was going, but there was always that chance that it was leading them into a river, any of this planets possible distractions, that could keep them from their objective for hours on end...
In the end, he decided to trust the creature, hoping this young strill wouldn't bring them somewhere they didn't want to be...

[Elifain]

Elifain was a little surprised when the strill lead him to a homestead in a clearing of the forest. He walked toward the complex, and was greeted by a human, and a few Rodians.
Elifain nodded to the human, and said, I hear you have a mandalorian problem. I am here as a forward scout, my people will take care of him as soon as i report in, and gather forces.... He said, as he removed his helmet.
Yea... Hes killed a few of our men already, before disapearing... So far, We haven't found his hideout, but we are assuming, that it is in the mountain range, to the east.
Elifains smirk remained. The info had been quick to gather, and it would be interesting to see who this mandalorian was.
I will return, only when we have accomplished the mission. Until then, be warry.
As he finished, Elifain replaced his helmet, and turned, running back the way he came. He had a lead, but would have to finish the mission aftter meeting up with Roland and the others, and capturing zilfer.
Within a half hour, Elifain made it back to his ship, and took off, out of system, towards Nar Shaddaa.
