five and a half years passed
-Look at this, you see it?
-I do, when will I have one of these things that you wear in your back and make you fly?
-Hush! Keep looking, he's moving his mouth
*Grogu stutters*
-Did you see that?!
-Wow Din, you look like a happy proud daddy
-Maybe I am
-Oh god, yes, you definitely are.
-Aham, but did you see it?
-Yes! Yes! I did see it alright?
-He's learning to talk our language, it's a big step for him.
-I know, does it hurt you to know that he's growing?
-Not quite that kind of pain girl
-Yeah well, I only know one kind of pain, and no more.
Din stopped and looked at me serious
-It's not that what I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of that something happens to him, I'll be alright dead if that is what you were asking. And I know you'll look after him when I'm gone.
-I'll try yes, but someday I'll die too
-I know, and someday he'll die too.
-so? I have a life to live too, I can't be looking after him all my life.
-He'll learn, he'll learn fast.
Din made a pause
-And you'll also learn to live alone
-Oh, but I already know how to live alone Din.
-You do?
-Don't you see me?
-What am I suppose to see? A girl in an armor with a helmet?
-oh God no, you're a difficult man you know? A brave and fearless girl who know to fight in a mandalorian armor
-It is just an armor don't get high for it.
-Oh but it is more than that
-Why? You're just one more, one more mandalorian, one more armor, one more helmet, but a younger one
-No, this is different, this armor is different, because you gave it to me
-Why does that make it more special?
-Because you're special, you're different
-He turned at me again and this time he smiled.
-"so are you"
A comfortable silence appeared
Grogu pointed someone
-There! There he is!
-come on! Hurry!
He threw at him one of his tramps and catched that person
-Remove his mask!
Din took his mask off of him
-Wow, it's not a his, it is a her
-Doesn't change anything
The girl tried to resist, she looked young, about fifteen years old
-Stop it! --shouted Din--
-We can bring you in warm, --I touched my gun with my hand slowly-- or we can bring you in cold.
Din looked at me trying to avoid a smile that he couldn't hide.
-What do you want from me?
-we don't want anything from you, but someone does, and that someone pays well, you know it's just business
-Please don't take me to them, they'll kill me! I have to find him! Maybe he's in danger, let me help him first, I swear I'll come whit you when I make sure he's okay
-What is she talking about? --whispered Din to me--
-I have no idea
-ehem --falsely coughed Din to break the uncomfortable moment-- What are you talking about girl? Who do you have to see?
-Yeah, who do you have to save? --said I with a deeper voice--
Din looked with a stunned face at me
--the girl looked at us stunned--
-w-w-well, my brother, my little brother, didn't they tell you that I have a brother?
--we looked each other-- No they didn't, why would they?
-What kind of bounty hunters are you?
-Ones who don't give a shit the information that they tell to us
--the girl sighed--
Well, look at this --said her while she pointed a kind of map--
-What is that?
-This is the map where my brother is, a very great droid is wearing it, that's how I can see where they are every time, but they have been quites for a very while, and I don't think that they're sleeping.
-why aren't you with them? Where you come from girl?
-Years ago my planet was invaded by stormtroopers to capture the little kids and raise them up as that. Me and my brother were captured --I looked at her impressed while Din looked at me with a sad expression-- Months ago we could escape but some of them alerted the other and we got seperated
Can you please help me?
I looked at Din with an expression on my face which was begging for a yes as answer
--Din sighed exhausted--
-Alright, we'll help you, but you won't move, you won't talk, and you won't betray us
--the girl screamed excited--
-yeah! I knew you were good people, I knew you were a hearted person mando!
And you look like a nice girl
-My planet was also invaded by them, they raiced the village and the people, they killed them all and took the children, they didn't catch me, and then this mandalorian found me and saved me. That was like six years ago more or less
-Wow, then you and I know each other very well, don't we?
-I'm Brendie Woleas
-Hi Brendy, I'm Sylvie Snow and this big guy is Din Djarin, the greatest mandalorian alive
--I removed my helmet smiling--
-Oh, and the little green guy?
-He is Grogu --said Din with a denfesor tone of voice--
-Oh hi little one!
-Din stopped her before she got too close to Grogu reminding her her place
--she looked at him not very surprised--
-Hey lads, we better be going before someone notice her and want to capture her too
What a curious galaxy, what a curious girl, when I was little I thought that my moon planet was the only one that existed, that made me feel comfortable, that made me feel safe, like if no one in the whole world could hurt me, I felt protected, just like now, with Din. But now everything's changed, I mean, is it a casuallity that a girl who has happened the same as what happened to me coincides with me? Is it a casuallity that we've been hired to capture her? Is it a casuallity that our paths have crossed? I don't think so, to be honest I feel it is a big step, like if something big was about to happens, my life hasn't been very interesting this last years, Din was always overprotecting us (me and Grogu) though, he trained me as well, he was the responsable for me to turn into a mandalore.
It feels odd to think that I wanted to be the best pilot when I was younger just so my father feels proud of me, and now, well, now I want to be the best mandalorian for him, for Din, still, I can't stop thinking about the amazing life that Jedi must have, I mean, they have light sabers!
We left that place with the girl tied as a prisoner, like we agreed, even though I trusted that girl and her porpouse of saving his brother, well, most likely I understood her, I also have lost my family, at least I can help a person who still has the chance of recovering them back.
-Hi
-oh, hello
-Hey I'm sorry we're treating you like this, I want you to know that I wouldn't be doing this if I was commanding
-It's okay, he's doing the right thing, he's trying to teach you to don't trust unknown people
-But you're not an unknown person! I know your story!
-That you know my past doesn't mean that you know me
-So you're telling me that you're going to try to kill us all when you have the chance?
-Probably yes, probably not
She smiled
- Should I be scared?
-Maybe you should, maybe not
-Hey girl, have you seen anything more that the helmet of that old man?
I laughed
-Well he's not that old, but yes, he uses to take off his helmet, just not in front of you
-I see, I like the way you think, maybe when I have the chance I won't kill you
-Well, maybe it's me who ends up killing you.
"I have a friend" I thought while I leave the room where she was. But friend? What is the definition of friend? How is that useful to me if I can't trust her?
I'm starting to think like Din, maybe he has been betrayed too many times and that's why he acts like that.
You go to central room where Grogu is
-Grogu, is that true that you're learning to talk?
-Grogu stutters-
-Yeah what I supposed, Din is exaggerating everything, you're too little even to say your name
-Grogu stutters again-
-It's okay Grogu, just take a time for yourself, I'm pretty sure that you'll learn.
-man- mann-mando
-What? Did you say something Grogu? I heard you stuttering again
-Mando!
-Mando? Mandalorian? Yeah, that is! Very good Grogu, say it again!
-Din!
--you smiled cutely-- suddenly you stared looking at him waiting for his nexts words
What a crazy thought that such a little creature is going to turn into one of the greatest Jedi and the people who raised him and were with him in his firsts words aren't going to be with him the rest of his life, it's crazy that he's going to be alone and no matter how much he misses us we will not be able to be by his side because we will be gone, I think that's unfair, I mean, why does a little guy have to live for so long and watch disappear all he loves, he doesn't deserve that everytime he meets someone there is a thought that is telling him that he won't be staying forever by his side, that is just not fair, nothing fair, on the other hand there are kinds and creatures that their lifetime is so short that they even can't take a breath, why can't we all live forever or the same time? Why does everyone leave when we need them? As I said universe is not fair, and unfortunately we can't do anything to avoid it, it's one of the saddest facts of the life.
-What's going on here, why is anyone looking over the prisioner?
-She has a name Din, she's Brendie but you can call her Bren if you rather that way
-I know her name, I just don't care
-Don't you?
-No, and look what I found in the ship trap area
-sounds of sketching out of a creature-
-Varys! Where have you been? Thought we had lost you down there?
-Maybe we hurried too much
-Yeah we certainly did, I'm sorry I forgot you there buddy
--Varys makes sounds of disappointing--
-You don't need to be sorry girl, it wasn't your fault
--you looked at Din not thinking the same as him--
-Yeah anyway, you know you stink buddy? Let's go to wash you, got something to tell you
Yes I told all my problems and worries to a tree, there was nothing wrong with that alright? He was the friend that has been by my side the longest time, he's always being protecting me, and this pasts he's been closer than ever with me, in fact we've grown up one with each other, he has seen me grow up and I've seen him grow up, without count that he is the only thing left from my moon accompanied by my necklace ring that owed from my father, the one that I don't consider that anymore, I mean, what kind of father would leave her daughter and won't even try to find her? Won't even worry about her without knowing if she's alive? No, Mando (Din Djarin) is my real father just because he has been acting like that with no reason since he found me, and I will never be able to thank him.
-Alright guys, we're going to make a stop here hm? I have to get some food for the rest of the travel
-I'll go with you then
-No you won't, you stay here taking care of the rest, is that clear?
-I can fight if you can't handle and you have problems, remember that you already have an age...
-Don't call me old girl, I'm still strong, and that's why I want you here, to defend them, protecting who you love Sylvie, that's how we're going to survive, not fighting who we hate.
So you stay here, you heard me?
--i sigh-- okay, I'll stay here
Said I disappointed
--Din leaves the ship in a station market little planet, and go--
-So... Who wants to play something?
-Varys and Grogu looked each other and quickly they pretended to be asleeped
-Oh great, I'll have to call Bren, our lovely" prisioner "
Said I with a sarcastic tone
