"You may sit."
A light rain pattered against the sloped sides of the temple in a muffled patter of wet drops. The smell of the jungle permeated the buildings interior. The interior of the temple was surpriseingly well lit, especially the battle circle at its heart. The lofty taung Statues that held up the roof of the temple stared down at them, their faces approveing of those who enter the circle with honor to prove.
Solus'ad stood in the center of the battle circle. His eyes flicked from one member of his small assembled force to the next in a deliberate appraisal. He wore a flexible set of blast armor with a Kama that exhibitted the same patchy pattern of his Beskar'gam.
In his right hand he held a staff with its end firmly planted on the stone floor. His left hand was relaxed and ready at his side. After a moment of silence he began.
"Those of you whos fathers and mothers did their duty well know what this is. Those of you who are Dar'Manda, I will explain, in the hopes that you will learn, and remember your heritage and pass it along to your children." Solus'ad said, his voice a calm testiment.
"The Mandalorian Battle Circle is a place in which Mandalorians engage in duels, and where you will hone your combat skills. We will utilize the battle circle for many things. If one of you has a dispute with another you will challenge them here in the battle circle. If one of you requires discipline, it will be meated out here in the battle circle. You will earn you honor, and I will not have one of you wasted where it can be prevented." Solus'ad knealt to one knee and used the staff he carried as an ancor for his weight.
"When you are within the battle circle, you will abide by its rules. No deathblows. You cannot kill one another in the battle circle. It is a discrepancy of great dishonor." Solus'ad seemed to dare them all to commit such dishonor in his presence with a glare capable of souring Mandalorian Whine into Vinegar.
"Neither combatant is allowed to leave the Battle Circle, until the fight is done. The only weapons allowed are those permitted by the combatant who has the most honor. This can range from unarmed combat to vibroblades and vibroswords, depending on the preference of the more honorable combatant. In order to challenge the champion or former champions of the Battle Circle, one must have the recommendation of one who was a champion at one point." Solus'ad stood slowly his flexible armor makeing a distinctive soft leather on leather sound.
"If any of you have dispute, let it be settled now. Do any of you have dispute?"

Beskar stood up, and walked over to where Solus'ad stood. Beskar looked out the visor of his helmet, and scanned the many faces of those loyal Mandalorians. Those Mandalorians who like him, had heeded the call of Mandalore, and left where ever they were previously and joined Mandalore.
Beskar took a quick breath and began to talk. "My father was of the Clan Ordo and grew up on Ordo. My mother was of Clan Bralor and grew up in Norg Bral on Mandalore, just like myself. Many of you may see me as the combining of two powerful clans. Others may see me as a traitor for taking the Ordo name but growing up among the Bralors on Norg Bral."
"Perhaps you are right. Though there is something I am not, I am not a coward or a traitor. I will follow Mandalore until I die and maybe I will be remembered, and maybe not. If any of you have a problem with me, or wish to challenge my honor, then step forward and face me in the Battle Circle." Beskar finished.

Solus'ad nodded to Beskar and stepped from the battle circle. "I will grant recomendation to any challenger on this field of Honor." Solus'ad stood vigil over the circle, prepared for anything.
In his heart he wanted them all to work as a cohesive unit, though he felt that this may not be possible. He wanted bad blood and issues of leadership put out on the table where they could each see eachother in a light of truth.

Trin had taken her seat, had listened to the explanation, and had heard the call to end disputes. She did not rise. Maybe it was luck, but she had found no dispute among her companions. Ever since she had joined up with the Mandalorians... ever since she had come home to the family and culture she had never even known she had. She had found nothing but acceptance. It had changed her quite a bit. She had grown in more ways than she could count. But it had also nourished the person that she had always been inside. Her talents had been discovered and cultivated until she had become part of this culture, and it had become part of her. No, she had no disputes.
Another of their company did rise, however. She watched as Beskar stood from his place, entered the circle and made his statement. He had no issue spare the need to uphold his own honor. An honor that Trin had not known before her journey here. Mandalorian honor. Well, she had very little of it, but she knew she had some. Being present here was proof of that. She, who had not known of her place among these people until very recently. She did not stand against him. His life was no insult to her. And his presence here was enough for her not to doubt his loyalty to their people. Her hand formed a fist that was placed over her chest. She said nothing, but the salute was her response. She would not challenge him.

Delmon sat, staring at the man who felt he had to defend his honor. By now he had removed his armor from its storage and began wearing it exclusively again. He felt a small pang of familiarity with the warriors past. He too, had to decide between the clan he had been raised with, and the one who it was derived from. His choice had been different from that of the armor clad man that stood before the group, but it made no difference. The mans decision was his own, and Delmon had no ill feelings towards him for it. He would not challenge him. He saw an ally and potential friend, something he did not have alot of.

Beskar nodded at those Mandalorians who surrounded him, and said "Very well. If none of you believe my honor isn't intact, then I have no complaint against any of you." Nodding at Solus'ad, Beskar returned to his spot in line around the Battle Circle.

Solus'ad smiled with an inner satisfaction. A grin both dark and knowing. After enough silent time had passed that the air had grown thick with tension, he stepped back into the circle and placed his free hand on Beskar's shoulder. "You have no enemies here, it seems Ner'Vod. Only companions." Solus'ad motioned for his trainee to sit. "A company that knows trust amongst one another can present a strong front to their enemy. And let me tell you, we have many enemies." Solus'ad crouched and ballanced his staff across his knees. "The Republic has held us down and the Betrayer helped them with this. Cay Severn. Who you may know as Mandalore the Resolute, started this fight with the enemy. We're going to finish it. The farther we stretched from Mandalore the harder this fight will become." Solus'ad seemed to swallow his feelings with a gulp of his throat. "Alright enough talk, lets get started. All of you are to strip off your Armor, and make use of the gear down in the Armory. Each of you has a new set of Armor waiting for you on a rack. Currently they only have a Stealth Unit built into them." Solus'ad stood and with a twinkle of mischeif in his eyes he seemed to remember something. "And bring a Carbine... We're going on a field trip." ((I'll have a write up on the Mandalorian Spec Ops armor soon, For now we're going to invade another thread. I just need to figure out which thread is for us I'm open to suggestions))

Trin stood and turned to leave. To be honest, she was excited about seeing this new armor. Her training armor had been basic. Unlike some here, she had never had the honor of her own armor. But this was soon to be remedied. Down in the armory it waited for her. She would be able to customize it over the years and truly make it her own. She knew the Mandalorian phrase, that a warrior is more than their armor, and she was. But that didn't mean she couldn't like her armor.
((It looks like we might have to make a thread and have NPCs... all the other threads here are abandoned.))
