You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

Sooooo sorry for the delay in posting! I experienced a weird as

glitch

with the site that prevented me from accessing/reading the post at first. finally sorted itself out so there you go!

Didn't want to hijack Meetra too much, and wasn't sure what you had planned there so I thought I'd just supplement a couple more of the visions to point them onwards? hopefully it works okay ahaha

First one would be Revan returning to Malachor before looking for the Rakata, I always wonder if he tried to find the Shadow Generator himself to deactivate it but couldn't and had to hurry to leave, so Meetra would have to deactivate it later on in the KOTOR II timeline.

Other one would be during the Mandalorian Wars when they first activated it and obviously the canon scene of Meetra's exile from the Order, then them returning again to deactivate the Generator before Meetra goes after Revan XD

I can of course change up anything as needed ahaha
Also, if you haven't listened to Shinedown's new album yet, you TOTALLY SHOULD O___O There's quite a few songs that seem appropriate for this chapter ;)
Devil
Evolve to name a few, and "Black Soul" probably also suits Revan and Meetra's attitude towards the Jedi Council when they went to war (and perhaps even after? not sure how you plan to play Meetra out of course so maybe not ahaha)

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

The Qyaari forged onwards to cover the remaining distance into the ship, thankfully encountering no more Hssiss or other hostiles on the way. They would meet challenges of an entirely new kind, however, upon arriving there. As Yerbol had done, Aria felt an odd surge of energy upon touching the surface of the ship. Like a jolt of electricity down her spine, she heard Kytra squeak under her breath behind her and surmised that the others must have felt a similar sensation too, even the Tuk’ata seemed to feel something; the crests on Chwuq’s shoulders rattled as she let out an uneasy hiss, her mate rumbling in response as he stepped closer to her. And then the visions started, like rapid flashes through her peripheral memory and yet so sharp and clear at the same time… these memories that were not Aria’s own and yet so, familiar:

Don't do this. Please. You can't leave now.

I'm sorry, Bastila. I have to, I need to know what these visions mean…

…. Why here? There is nothing but death in this place.

This is but a landmark. The edge of the Empire that once ruled this galaxy.

Not here. It’s not here, can’t find it.

You already know where to go, you are wasting time on this ridiculous search. There is a greater threat you have to face, Revan-

I must go alone. If others will come, the Force will guide them to me…

Revan? I know you were here, where did you go? It’s over, the Generator, it’s finished…

This isn’t over. It is only just beginning. The Rakata-

There were no physical footprints present on the metal floor of the ship, and yet she could almost FEEL the indentations beneath her feet as this strange surge of energy pulled her in towards the interior of the ship.

This threat is greater than anything else we faced before. The Republic will fall, the Empire will fall.

It is time to let go of the past.

Revan knew the true war is not here… It is further, beyond the outer Rim.

He will need soldiers, Jedi and Sith both-

I have to follow him, alone. You must stay here and guide the others who may come after me-
“Master, are you alright?” Kytra’s concern cut sharply into the montage of thoughts, pulling the Champion back into the present where she took in a sharp breath. When had she ended up crouching on the floor? Her knees throbbed painfully from prolonged contact with the unforgiving surface.
“Fine… I’m fine, don't worry.” she croaked, staggering to her feet once again. As Yerbol reached out to her, Aria nodded her head in response.

I hear them too. Revan was here first, alone… The Exile came after, with others. And went after him. They left clues, in case anyone came looking for them...at least, that’s what it FEELS like?

“How do you know?” Kytra’s nose twitched. “What if this is all a trap?”
“We don't. Not until we go further.” the hallway glowed dimly in the blue light emitted from the orbs that floated off Yerbol’s palms, illuminating just enough for them to see the path ahead.
“If the Exile went this way, then maybe we should too.”
Does this place feel… heavy, to you? Not like the rest of the planet. Like… Like a weight, holding you back, almost.
“M-Maybe somebody should wait here to keep watch. What if more of those… Those dragon things show up?”
“We’d be safer if we stuck together.” Aria shook her head. “Yerbol’s right, we need to keep moving. There may be more clues about why the Exile came here.”
Regardless of the need to press forward, the Champion did pause after taking a few more steps into the hallway, casting about for something to pick up; she settled on a decently sized chunk of metal that may have been part of a door or a light fixture at one point in its lifetime, extended a hand to levitate it ahead of the Qyaari group, and cast it into the apparently-empty hallway.

The metal clunked softly as it connected with the floor. The Champion waited, holding her breath, for another minute, keeping her arm extended to keep Kytra and Ethan from bolting into a potential trap. No shimmers appeared in the air, no hisses could be heard (apart from those coming from the hounds at their heels), and no ravenous Hssiss appeared to bite them in half.
“Looks clear.” Aria murmured, and the group advanced slowly forwards, drawn by this bizarre, unknown instinct. Reaching the end of the hallway, they discovered that it branched off yet again. The right most passageway was long blocked with rocks and other debris, but behind the debris the Force users could sense a dark and foreboding energy emanating from it. Near the pile of debris lay the scattered remains of what looked like a small sensor probe, long since deactivated or perhaps destroyed in the explosion that collapsed the cavern.

As they stepped out into the small alcove, the whole ship seemed to morph around them, broken pieces flying back into place and melding into a functioning ship. Bridge consoles whirred and beeped as they maintained the Republic vessel’s flight.

A Zabrak stood beside her on the bridge, poised and ready at the console. Outside, Mandalorian and Republic ships both flew past, laser fire lit up the sky.

She said nothing, just nodded. That was it. All hell broke loose.

Everything was pulled into it, they had miscalculated...not supposed to be this powerful.
The ship was falling, too. Barely time to make the escape pods.

So many voices shouting.

Bao-Dur! Where are you?! I CAN’T FIND THE GENERAL!

General! … Surik! … Meetra! What the hell happened?!

MEETRA.

Revan. What have you done?!

THEY’RE DYING OUT THERE, JEDI ARE DYING OUT THERE-

This wasn't supposed to happen...Revan-

The Jedi Council. She’s standing before them. Atris glowers at her with far too much prejudice to be adhering to the precious Jedi Code they all so held on to.

You made the decision to follow Revan into battle, against the Council’s wishes. There is only one verdict we can give.

They didn’t need to. This was over. She had made her choice.
The saber ignites and stabs into the stone in the center of the room as the Masters stare at her-

The images hit Aria like a sucker punch to the gut, the Champion yelping and staggering forward before she managed to brace her hand against the stone. She gulped down a few lungfuls of air, feeling strangely disoriented as she tried to keep herself grounded in reality. She wondered if Yerbol felt the same thing, saw the same things she did.

We created this thing. I have to destroy it.

General, it’s too dangerous. You’d never get close enough before you died.

The sensor probe, alive and well, whizzes around the Zabrak’s head, beeping loudly.

He’s right. Let the droid do it, he’d make it.

No time to argue, I have to find her- Have to find Kreia-

Her legs felt like they were made of jelly. Just as Aria was afraid she was going to pass out, it stopped, when next Aria opened her eyes, she was staring at the blue-washed wreckage once again. Shakily, she turned her head to look for her partner, croaking out:
“This was it. This was...what helped them win the war…They came back looking for it. Revan couldn’t find it, but Meetra did.”

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

Not gonna lie, I'd be screaming my head off too in that situation ahahaha XD

It's definitely worth trying, some of the dialogue options with Atton are brilliant as a female Exile XD Only thing that sucked was not getting to take Briana/Handmaiden with you when you leave Telos :/ Disciple/Mical was kind of an annoying kiss-ass :P (Though he and Atton do fight over you which is...hysterical bwahaha)

Ohh man, poor guy. He's never gonna get rid of Illesia is he? Not surprised though, she did mess him up pretty good. Hopefully Meetra can help him fix it, or at least start to come to terms with it!

I THINK we did, yeah...that's ringing a couple bells. And if not, that sounds like a brilliant idea nonetheless ;)

No worries, have a good weekend! :)

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

Fair bit of shouting but I think it's warrented in this case? XD Got them ALMOST into the ship, so feel free to expand on that however needed! I can of course, as always, add anything else if I need to ;)

I'm thinking we cover the flashback in the ship/discussion of the flashbacks within the next few posts or so and then perhaps they move on to explore Traya's academy to garner the clues as to where Revan and Meetra went? Thoughts? o:

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

Aria raised her arm as if to hit him in retort for his cheeky comment, but then froze in mid-air as if thinking better of the gesture, given his current fragile state.
“It’s not funny, Bol. I was really worried about you.” she shot back at him, . They wasted no time in beginning the trek up the cliffside, though the party did stop very briefly to look down at the damaged transport. As Ethan apologised for the state the landing had left it in, Yerbol was quick to reassure his apprentice that he had done the right thing, and Aria supplemented it with a nod of her own, telling the boy:
“You’ve nothing to apologise for, Ethan. A ship can be fixed, getting one of us killed can’t. What’s most important is you got us down all in one piece, we can fix the ship one way or another.”
“Why is it green?” Kytra muttered as she too, studied the magma with trepidation. “That can’t be normal…”
“Dark side energy, possibly, or some other kind of mineral in the rocks.” Aria shrugged. “We may never know, and I wouldn’t advise leaning in to get a closer look.”

They all fell abruptly silent as they came to the top of the rise and found themselves staring at a labyrinth of likely-impassable pathways.
“Oh, for Force sake.”
“It could take us days to figure that out…”
Ethan’s suggestion of splitting up, unsurprisingly, did not go down well with either of the Champions.
“No.” Aria protested just as quickly, but fell silent as her partner continued his train of thought and put forward a plan of action. “Yerbol’s right, it’s too dangerous. Force knows what could be waiting for us in there, and we may never find each other again. We’ll have to stick together and hope that there’s some kind of clue to guide us onto the right path to the other side.”
After some time spent squinting at the snaking pathways, pointing and deciding just which one was most likely to take them to their end goal, the Qyaari began to pick their way back down the other side of the slope, completely unawares of the danger they were about to walk right into.

Nothing at all had seemed out of the ordinary (aside from the obvious death and decay which seemed the norm for the place) which might have warned them that they were being followed. If it hadn't been for Chwuq’s vigilant watch at the tail end of the group, they may not have realised until it was too late. Aria stopped as the Tuk’ata gave a warning snarl, turning to glance behind them, the Champion frowned as she spotted the brief ripple of energy, not unlike that which was produced by a stealth field generator. Her heart dropped into her stomach. There was only one thing which could cause that kind of a disturbance on a planet like Malachor, and it was NOT here to make friends.

“RUN! MOVE, NOW!!” The Champion barked, too late as the air in front of Kytra and Ethan began to shimmer too. Seconds later, the ripples ceased and in their place there materialised the obsidian-scaled form of a lizard...perhaps more accurately described as a dragon from its size alone. It was easily seven feet long from head to tail, and at least half that height, thereby towering over most of the Qyaari in front of it. The beast’s cavernous jaws gaped to reveal seemingly-endless rows of serrated teeth that could have snapped Kytra clean in half, had the Selonian not heard her mentor’s warning. She froze in time to see the creature looming towards her, screamed, and leapt several feet into the air, her spine contorting at an angle unnatural for any human so her hindquarters sailed clear of the bite before the Dark side dragon could grab her. It landed snout-first in the peat instead, spitting in fury as it wheeled around for a second offence.
“SCREEEEEE!!” Chwuq let out a piercing shriek of her own as she leapt between Yerbol and the second beast, her teeth bared in a challenging snarl as the pair of Sith beasts squared up to their attackers.
“WHAT IN FORCE IS THAT THING?!” Kytra shouted, rebounding off a ledge above the lizard’s head and landing with her back to Ethan’s.
“Hssiss!” Aria grunted as she dodged a tail swipe, calling her lightsabers to hand and spinning them into an attacking position as she darted forward to help her partner. “History lesson later, when we’re not about to be EATEN BY ONE! Stay clear of the head and the tail and aim for the underside where the scales are thinnest, DO NOT let them bite you!!”

Kytra nodded, gripping her own weapon tightly as she and Ethan jumped and dodged one attack after another. The Hssiss were large and clearly very powerful, their senses and bloodlust sharpened by centuries of starvation, they were desperate to feed at any cost. Kytra almost lost a few whiskers to an unexpected swipe from the Hssiss’ paw, had Ethan not brought his blade down to deflect the blow in time. Aria was sent flying into the cliffside courtesy of the second beast’s tail as she faltered briefly to check on the youngsters. As it reared up to try and bring its full weight down on her, Yerbol’s lightsaber flew through the air and clipped it across the underbelly, sending it tumbling back down to the ground. Aria scrambled to her feet and put her own lightsaber through its eye socket for good measure as Yerbol’s returned to his hand. Kytra and Ethan were managing to hold their ground reasonably well, but struggling to land any substantial blows against the lizard’s thick hide. Kytra tried employing a similar technique by leaping up onto its head while Ethan distracted it by feigning attacks on its legs, but the Hssiss shook the lightweight Selonian off before she could land a blow anywhere near its eyes, as if she were nothing more than a piece of paper thrown at it.

A sharp whistle from Aria rallied the two Sith hounds to join the apprentices, their well-muscled shoulders finding them better purchase on the larger creature as they leapt onto its back from both sides and each grabbed one of its long, curved horns in their teeth. The lizard became so preoccupied with dislodging the Tuk’ata from its face that it seemed to disregard the Qyaari it had originally been hunting (though Kytra was almost squashed by its flailing feet as Ethan and Yerbol launched another offensive and finally managed to bring it down). Aria leaned down to help Kytra to her feet once more, the apprentice pausing briefly to pat herself down as if ensuring that all of her appendages were in fact, still attached.
“Are you alright, Kytra?”
“Y-Yeah. I think so. Thank you.” she nodded, peering at the exposed fin of the ship, much closer now than it had been. “We should get out of here before more of them show up, right…?”
“Agreed. The sooner the better, we don’t want to get caught in the tight corners of that ship and be surrounded by them...they feed on Force sensitives, so believe me, any others around here WILL be looking for us, so we’d better move fast.” Aria warned, patting her apprentice gently on the shoulder before she turned to forge onwards, clearly in a hurry to move on before more Hssiss showed up.

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

Ahahaha, believe me it took SO much fiddling to get it to run (and it still crashes sometimes during cutscenes RIP xD) - about a week of messing with every setting imaginable and threatening to smash it with a hammer multiple times finally got it to give in LOL Still, cannot WAIT for Project Aperion to launch though, it's gonna be so great ;w;

Oh man, if we ever managed to do that and make it into a novel or something I think I would cry, it'd be the most amazing thing XD
Sounds good, I shall look forward to it! Has been a while since I worked with Revan, this is going to be super interesting too O.O I'm somehow envisioning Meetra sensing something being up with Yerbol's Force connection too? I could be wrong here but I get a sense that he's not quite as kosher as he keeps trying to convince himself he is XD
Boy am I excited for this chapter, it might be the best one to date o: *uncontrollable fangirly flailing*

I've been chugging apple juice and vitamins like no tomorrow since I got back home, so fingers crossed, I've escaped! XD

As for where to get them to, well, perhaps either approaching or entering the academy Traya/Kreia left there?
it HAS been a while since I played through the Malachor levels so some of the ideas might be botch and/or impossible but I'll fling em out here so we can spitball them XD:

-So, I'm not 100% sure if there WERE any on the Malachor levels, but I figured it would make sense since they feed off devastation/destruction in the Force and so forth, so I figured perhaps they could run into a few Hssiss on their search. I believe there was some sort of tunnel system that was created around some of the ship debris or something, again not 100% sure XD

-Following on from that, pretty sure there was some sort of device in one of the systems that had been left there by Bao Dur which they had to disable at the end of KOTOR II? I thought perhaps they could encounter said device and somehow experience some sort of flashback to that event which would give them a clue as to who they were going after?

- OR, there's also Traya's academy that would be ripe for expoloring and probably filled with Dark Side energy that could point them in the direction which Meetra went in order to pursue Revan? Obviously, they can't explore Korriban anymore since...we blew it up like 3 in-timeline years ago (or however long its been...possibly longer? bwahaha) XD but I imagine even Revan would've visited Malachor on his way past before he left Known Space?

-Slightly cliche and a bit R2-D2-original-trilogy ish, but a possibility for T3-M4 to have been left behind with some sort of archive or co-ordinate map as to where they went in case someone capable came along to look for them? It was kinda implied that Meetra left Viszas behind after the end of KOTOR II to "guide" others after her and Revan to help them, but not so sure any of those party members would still be alive? I don't think they were meant to be as powerful as Revan or Meetra so I'm not sure if even the Force could extend their lifespan that long? The only original party member I could theorise would definitely still be alive (although pretty old by this point) would be Zaalbar? (Thoughts, of course, always appreciated XD)

-Was also tossing around the ideas, but albeit for later after they've ACTUALLY found Meetra and Revan, of Zaalbar (for abovementioned reasons) and/or HK-47 (because come on, he's a combat droid, he'd be useful to them in their adventures, plus he's absolutely hilarious and I love his crude sense of humour XD) having accompanied the duo on their journey...it was kind of implied that they didn't take anybody else with them but I can see HK at least somehow convincing them that he would be an asset and being a droid he's far less vulnerable than "some organic meatbag"? :P

That's everything I've got for now...bit of a text wall so I apologise D: but I plan on firing up the RCM version of KOTOR II and going to town since I bet it's full of ideas we could use for this chapter of our tale O___O (good old Kreia and her sardonic advice! XD) so I'm sure there will be a bunch more ideas for us to throw around later as we progress too! aha

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

*waves like a madman back at you*

So, I have a couple ideas for stuff they could encounter on their way but I wanted to give Yerbol (and all of them, in fact! XD) a bit of a chance to catch his breath back and all before they went rushing off into the maw of the beast, since that was a pretty nasty landing they just went through XD

That's a very nifty idea actually! o.o Funnily enough, I just finished a run of KOTOR I the other week LOL I might move on to KOTOR II as well just to refresh my memory of what happens, would certainly help for the direction we're headed in! :'D
Did we ever discuss who was playing Revan and who was playing Meetra? I have cheese for brains and have sadly forgotten if we did ;w; *hides head in shame*

I'm not doing too bad, hanging in there! Every nasty virus to ever exist seems to be trying to take my family out currently, I'm the only one who has thus far not been hit so hopefully it stays that way and everybody else stays firmly in recovery, sleeping on my parents couch for the weekend in order to take care of everyone was not very comfortable XD

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

Kytra was no less eager for their impending drop than Ethan was, the Selonian’s paws trembling as she situated herself in a seat across from the two Champions.
“I-I don’t know about this!” she squeaked as Neta’s voice warned them of thirty seconds left to prepare. “Can’t I stay with Neta?”
“No.” Aria shook her head firmly, stifling a chuckle of amusement. “You’ll never learn anything if you spend all your time hiding on the ship. Relax, we can do this.” as her apprentice took some calming breaths, Aria addressed their pilot instead. “Hey Neta....you be careful up here, okay? It’s no good if none of us get back to Zinuthra. Don’t do anything stupid.” this time, she couldn’t help but bark a short laugh, this was all so backwards - usually, Neta was the one telling HER to be careful, but somehow she had a feeling Neta would be in just as much (if not more) danger up here amongst the flying debris, as they would be on the planet’s surface. Before she could wait for an answer from Neta, however, the pilot announced the drop and Aria’s gut twisted uncomfortably as she was overcome with the sensation of free-falling at high speed.

Here we go. There was no time for theorising and analysis now, this was it. Now or never. The Champion drew in a deep breath to steady herself, shutting her own eyes so she could better focus on the task at hand as Yerbol extended a shield barrier around the craft. The maneuvers which Ethan had to perform in order to prevent them from being bumped out of space before they even hit the atmosphere were enough to turn her guts inside out, but somehow - whether it was adrenaline or meditation in the Force or a combination of both, she kept her head on straight and extended her senses outwards, finding the individual eddy currents that surrounded them. A gentle push outwards here, a pull inwards there...this required a lot more finesse than the shuttle over Quensu had and she was grateful for more experience this time around which allowed her to work despite the constant pitching and rolling of the ship around them as Ethan tried to avoid the flying projectiles. She heard Kytra squeak opposite her as they plummeted rapidly towards the surface, gritting her teeth as the ship slipped slightly when the apprentice lost her focus.

The residual pain that radiated down her spine was completely unexpected and powerful enough to jolt the Champion’s eyes open in shock. She knew that what she felt through their bond was only a fraction of the agony her partner was feeling, and yet it was still enough to distract her focus from her work. The ship wobbled violently as they plunged nose-first into the electrical storm, and if Ethan’s cursing was anything to go by, they were heading for a collision course with the surface if she didn’t do SOMETHING. It had been a long time since she had blocked him out of her mind, and under any other circumstances she would abhor the thought, but if she didn’t shut this pain out they’d crash...sure as Bantha poodoo. Thankfully, throwing up a temporary barrier worked well enough to allow her to grab back control of their careening transport before it was too late, the nose pulled level as electricity crackled over the shield around them. Aria gritted her teeth, dispersing some Force lightning across the barrier in an attempt to deflect the worst of the electricity as Ethan frantically searched for a landing zone.
“Just land SOMEWHERE! It doesn’t matter at this point, just get us out of the damn sky!!!” Aria’s hands clenched into fists as she tried to keep the ship on a steady course, but found her grip steadily slipping without any assistance. “KYTRA, I NEED YOU TO HELP ME KID, COME ON!”
“SORRY, I’M SORRY!” Kytra squealed in apology, thankfully snapping out of whatever fear-induced stupor had previously been held over her as at that point, the weight of the transport lessened and it no longer felt as if Aria were trying to maneuver it completely by herself. Mere seconds after Ethan announced the one-hundred feet mark, the bang as the shuttle collided with the surface rang all through the compartment, forcing the last breath from the Champion’s lungs as she was thrown forward, then back again in quick succession. Something in her neck cracked unnaturally and Aria swore loudly as the spacecraft ground to a screeching stop.

As Ethan and Kytra gave a few celebratory cheers (which looked quite comical, considering that Kytra’s fur was standing on end due to the violent descent they had just made, giving her the appearance of a giant, brown puffball that waved its tiny appendages through the air while whooping triumphantly), Aria brought a hand up to rub the back of her neck in the hopes that the worst of the pain would subside in doing so.
Yerbol’s question jolted her back into focus, the Champion immediately unstrapping herself and twisting in her seat to face her partner.
“Hey, is Yerbol okay?” she glanced over her shoulder at Ethan and Kytra as he inquired after their other teacher, managing what she hoped was an encouraging smile.
“He’ll be fine, he just needs a minute.” though the slight crack in her voice as she spoke betrayed her lack of certainty, “Ethan, why don’t you take Kytra and have a look around the area...see if there’s a way for us to get out of this clearing without a transport, or a compound or something nearby that we can aim for. DON’T go too far, and if you see anything remotely suspicious, DO NOT engage and come straight back, alright?”
“Yes, Master!” the Selonian saluted, quickly ducking out of the doorway and disappearing from sight. Ethan was less quick to obey, lingering to throw concerned glances in his mentor’s direction until Aria shot him a withering glare that sent him hurrying after Kytra. Sending them away and giving them something to occupy their thoughts seemed like a good way forward until she was sure what was wrong with Yerbol, there was no use frightening them any more than they already were. They had a long way to go still.

With the two youngsters out of earshot, she knelt beside him and helped him free of the harness, gently cupping his face in her hands as the questions rushed out in a single breath, almost melding into one she spoke so fast.
“Are you okay, what was that, what happened?!” she huffed out a sharp breath, leaning forward to touch her forehead to his as she funnelled some of her own energy through their bond, just enough to give him some of his strength back. “Can you stand? We should try and get you outside, into the air...it’s probably not ‘fresh’ air, but it’ll be better than in here.” a wry smirk twitched across the Champion’s features as she planted a quick kiss to his lips and stepped back, offering him her hand to help him up. “Take it easy, okay? I don’t want you collapsing on me.” they made their way slowly out of the crashed shuttle and stepped out onto a charred, black landscape that was barren as far as the eye could see. Not a single sprig of vegetation was present, in fact the “clearing” which Ethan had thought they were put down in turned out to be a flat outcrop of ground surrounded by gargantuan-sized cliffs that jutted up several hundred feet into the air and formed an almost bowl shape around them. Kytra and Ethan were easily visible as small specks in the distance, steadily growing into more recognisable persons as they made their way back over to report their findings.
“It looks like this is just a big valley.” Ethan mumbled, shifting his weight nervously.
“There’s a pathway dead ahead that looks like it heads up and out.” Kytra explained. “But till we get up there it’ll be hard to tell...can’t see anything over these cliffs.” the Selonian’s fur had settled down since the crash, but had not laid completely flat and still prickled with unease as she looked between the two Champions. “I don’t like this place, Masters, it feels….twisted.”

Aria could not berate her apprentice for her trepidation. She could feel it herself, the cloying presence of evil wreathed around every rock and crack in the earth. As if to re-inforce their fears, a bright green bolt of electricity suddenly knifed through the murky sky above their heads, tinting everything in an eerie, green light for a few moments before it faded away again. Seconds later, the clap of sound detonated like a shot from a rifle, so loudly that it almost felt as if it permeated through the floor and into their bones.
This planet had more Dark Side energy than Korriban and Dromund Kaas had ever had put together. The feeling of destruction and loss that dominated here was worse than anything the Qyaari scouting party had ever experienced in their lives.
“Neither do I, Kytra. But we don’t exactly have a choice.”
