Unexpected Treasures 3 of 3
“What else would you like?”
This Dathomiran woman Rubina had quite a deadly ancient collection of artifacts for sell. Luthen Rael was a little overwhelmed by it but refused to show it. “What else do you have?”
“Armors and weapons.” She led him out of the holocrons house to another house within the outpost.
Many people collected those things and paid top credits for them. The first floor had various weapons. Though he could sell them in his shop, he didn’t want his cover business to be associated with owning weapons. His public identity needed to be far removed from his rebel activities. This didn’t stop his curiosity. “How did you acquire all these things?”
“I didn’t. My ancestor did from fallen enemies, payments or gifts.” She pointed to a beskad.
“That was a gift?” Luthen found it hard to believe any Mandalorian would gift their sword. “Does the Mandalorian even know Dathomir exist?”
“Some of the clans do. Would you like to hear the tale of our first meeting?”

“Mand’alor Eze Vizla used this beskad in his duel with Singing Mountain Clan woman Yepa,” Rubina related. “Since he obviously didn’t want it as a reminder of his defeat, the blade was gifted to us. Ituha’s beskar spear had been gifted to her mother by Arlan Fett. It remained in the Misty Falls Clan for centuries until the Nightsister defeated them. I don’t know what happened to it afterwards.”
“Interesting,” though Luthen didn’t fully believe this wondrous tale.
“The sword doesn’t fit your shop. However, the tale fits you and your friends. You’ll purchase this instead.” She gave him a sith stalker helmet. “It’s safer for you.”
“I appreciate your concern.” He didn’t appreciate her cryptic behavior.
“It’s getting late. Do you wish to spend the night?”
“No thank you. I should be going.”
She escorted him to his ship. “Before you disembark, I’ll give you one Light and one Dark piece of advice.”
“Don’t come back here nor mention this place to others if you value your life.”
“And the other?” He stepped onto his ship.
“Tell your shadowy friends to persist in their insurmountable endeavor because all empires fall.”
