The fire…the dromons of war…
Dying…crying…lying on the floor…
Mandalore…Mandalore of blasts…
Mandalore…Mandalore so glassed…
From a dragon’s blast flies a man.
And a man is the son of Ratheon.
Blood showers from that dragon.
From its stomach and also throat.
As if that furnace of that earth
Had cracked open like that wall
Of rock. Then the throat burns
And the dragon…it begins to fall.
A great wing, grey as iron, reaching
For Endyr while both are still flying.
Then, like a canopy, it’s above him.
That dark grey wing of that dragon.
Endyr flips his sword and is jabbing it
Into and through the wing of his enemy.
From leathery flesh he then breaks free
And watches the end of a dragon’s wings.
A warrior can appreciate a warrior.
Warriors fought each other in war.
Mandalorians—yes—him and her.
Casany, Endyr, Zaia, of Mandalore.
The dragon is no different.
Sword in Man’s right hand.
Lifts his left and salutes it.
“Fall with pride, O dragon.”
Right. That Mandalorian.
Endyr turns his attention.
A corvette is at his back.
A corvette is at her back.
The woman and that man.
Mandalorian and that Man.
“You fight well.”
Endyr exhales.
“...Both of you.”
Cas, Zaia too.
“I’d say we do.”
Casany.
Laughing.
May as well be.
Laughing at me?
“So did our friend.”
Points down then.
“That old dragon.
And its new nest.”
“He packed a punch.”
And any Zaia-speech.
“Mistook us for lunch.”
Is welcome in between.
“I like your corvette.”
“Reminds me of yours.”
“Ehhhh different colors, bet.”
“All one color under Mandalore.”
Silence falls across the sky.
Beneath clouds, birds fly.
Silence along the floor.
Under…Mandalore?
Cas opens a door.
Been here before.
“The Unwavering.”
Endyr is pointing.
“Mine’s Iron Head.”
Pointing back then.
“She’s impressive.”
So are they and him.
In the air, they hover.
Jetpack flamethrower.
“Look, I’d hate to start a fight in the sky.
Our two ships might go the way of him.”
Endyr Ratheon points back at a dragon.
“Red gold vs black gold. Poetic, I reckon.”
Mandalorian…
…Both of them.
Man laughs.
It isn't Cas.
“Hey, Krodas.
Are you glad?"
A true vod, she has Cas' back.
"To be working with this killer?"
Head tilt.
"This woman who's a murderer?"
He'll kill.
Visor to her.
At Cas.
Eyes into eyes.
"A coward who murdered my father!"
