Verani is meant to be untouched.
The planet has seen no violence since Selah's birth. There is no conflict with other planets, and internal conflict beyond debate is rare. Verani is peaceful, idyllic aside from the sea storms and Lumen fanatics.
The Jedi gave her a blanket to wear on her shoulders while they searched the Sisters' monastery. The Sisters all scattered, some taken elsewhere. Selah remains, and her eyes lock on a familiar face in the brown robed crowd.
"You brought this," Selah whispers, words harsh. Her breathing is quick as her eyes frantically scan her surroundings. Republic ships and talk of the Jedi army coming makes her certain of it. The clone troops are everywhere on the little island, and she is sure the Separatist droids are on another. The promised war comes, only different than the prophecy.
The vulnerability unnerves her. She cannot hear it, but she knows the clones and Jedi march through and search every room. Whatever trade was made or threat was told, it was not done by Selah. She closes her eyes as if in prayer, her breath quick and shallow. "May the Jedi fall for angering our beloved goddess."
