WAR BRINGER | divergence act one

"We don't have much time." She repeated urgently, searching around the crowd of Twi'Leks for an assurance of trust. But all that faced her was hesitancy and unease. "Gan go toyi vatak ji akilsehehsa cea y canka. Korjin cahsinark deev geo onhso! (We cannot fight the separatists this time. They will wipe us out!)" Beridin pressed, looking to her sister, who nodded. She swallowed, continuing. "Do cahsinark garei chonda Rd'ok. Kay gan sohsa sesk ro. Narsu, dao bo san. (I will never give up Ryloth. But we must regroup. Please, come with me.)" Still only hesitancy and worried glances. She looked to Wil, who seemed like he didn't know what to do. She swung back around. "Narsu- (Please-)" An older Twi'Lek suddenly pushed through the crowd. "You are not one of us!" Aliyah flung forward. Whispers rose around them. "Se'esehsa! Si'maran ercio! (War bringer! Cursed child!)" "Tislera cea ohk kuces! (Mother that is enough!)" Rylee stepped forward. "Sahak bua kukae. (Do not overstep.)" She flashed eyes at her eldest daughter- who stopped in her place, then spun back towards Beridin. "The off-worlders corrupted you. All you see in your mind is victory. You do not see your mother! You do not see Ryloth!" Aliyah pushed. "I see you!" Beridin retaliated. "You did not see your father!" She jabbed her shaky finger at her.  Beridin's lip quivered.  "You did not see him." Her mother's voice shook. "...And now he is with his forefathers. When he-" A tear slid down her cheek. "He..." A rage replaced her sorrow. "It should be you!" She growled. Beridin stood motionless, tears formed in her eyes, as she watched her mother begin to crumble. Two of her maidens came to her side, but she shooed them away. "Do not return to Ryloth." She rasped sternly. "You have forsaken this clan, your family." "Tislera-" Rylee tried again. "Go! Take your off-worlders with you!" Aliyah shouted, and more tears came. Wiltshire pushed forward, wanting to say something. Beridin swiftly turned around to stop him. "Let's go." She said quietly. "Beridin-" He pushed. "Let's go, Wil." The Twi searched him, her eyes swollen. He hesitated, but then slowly turned and walked with her. Aliyah fell to her knees and sobbed, her maidens reached for her arms. Rylee hurried to follow Beridin.
