Daral gave a nod in response, turning on a heel to ready the soldiers that would follow Vilaz into the fray. A quick transmission was all it took to rally the sons and daughters of the battered world, each and every one of them was likely bristling with anticipation and anger.
It would've been almost entirely accurate to say all of them had lost someone incredibly close. A sibling, a parent, a spouse, a child, and usually more than one where that applied. Some of Tal'Verda had died, some of his brothers and sisters, some of their children, but he lacked the greatest of all the wounds, he had not lost a child, not here.
Years ago on Druckenwell after the screaming of those to unlucky to be killed outright by the catastrophe but still sustain mortal injuries finally stopped, after Daral had held his last surviving brother on the world in his arms as he screamed out in agony until his life slipped away, there had been a boy. He couldn't have been more than four, and he spoke not a word of basic, only Epicant. Daral had taken care of him, fed him, protected him, loved him like a son.
None of that had mattered when a piece of unexplored ordinance went off during one of the few times the clone let the boy play. It had been beyond his control, in time Daral had convinced himself that much, that the child had been taken from him by someone too cowardly to even do it themselves.
So on top of the loss of his siblings, nieces, and nephews, he also could sympathize with those who now marched with him to join Vilaz whom had their child ripped from them. He knew that loss, that rage, and while he'd never get justice for his loss, he'd be damned if he didn't help those he fought beside get theirs. Was Clan Raxis guilty of destroying Mandalore? No. But they were guilty of refusing the knife, of thinking they were better men and women then the likes of Monroe had been, or Jasper Arklim. Both had been legends, still were legends in some respects, and the force had driven them to commit unimaginable evil, just as it had driven Jack Raxis to betray Ra.
If they couldn't see the err of their ways, and just how many more people they risked orphaning or leaving childless, then he would show them. By any means necessary.
