“Aeris! Thank the Force, I caught you as you were falling.” An-Lok said as she watched her, holding back a yawn as best she could but was unable. She reached up a hand to cover her mouth as her friend sat herself up, she blinked a few times as if blinking away the sleep. “I’m alright, just… Tired. I know we can’t rest just yet though.” She said, shifting her legs slowly to make sure they weren’t going to tingle from how she had been sitting with Aeris’ head on her lap. “Hmm? I never saw anything, just you falling. And I’m not sure how long you were out. It’s… It’s hard to tell time down here.” She told her, quickly accepting the offered hand to help her get up to her feet. Her hands drifted in front of her for a moment before she swung them up to stretch her arms instead, something she had to force herself to do.<br/><br/>“If this fog is like the fog in the tombs of Korriban, it isn’t going to help with our senses much. I nearly got lost in one of the tombs, one of the long dead Sith Lords had control of it, I had to face him to get out.” She said, following her to the only way out, the opposite side of the way that she had come in. She looked over the two tunnels, taking a moment as she took in a deep breath, calling on the Force even though it was tiring. She closed her eyes “I… I feel a pull both ways, but its strongest this way.” She added, nodding to the left. It was a partial lie, it felt stronger to the right, but something told her the paths met somewhere down the line. But she was far too unwilling to be separated again, they were stronger together and perhaps, not end up facing any more visions. She didn’t want to face any more visions, the last one still sat heaviest on her. To have her family torn away from her, she was sure the only reason she’d have stayed there was that she ended who ever took them away. Shaking her head, taking a deep breath, she took the first steps into the tunnel as her hand went to her lightsaber.<br/><br/>Feeling more confident with Aeris behind her, she ignited her blade to cast the tunnel in an ethereal glow and light their way as they seemed to continue to descend into the darkness. They seemed to keep going deeper and deeper into the planet itself, and it was unsettling. When they got to finally leave, she never wanted to do any missions like this again where they went underground. And she was definitely not going back to Korriban, that was for sure.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>Jek watched Jax with very careful eyes, he could feel his attachment to An-Lok with the distance between them as he put on the cloak and spoke with conviction. If he had something of Aeris, he too likely would have been the same way. He couldn’t blame him, but his love didn’t have something to hide, didn’t have to take extra care like An did. He took a deep breath and turned to take the path, only to stop and frown “Boarder? She said something about a boarder?” he slowly turned back, he couldn’t remember that. He barely remembered their arrival into the large open space. Taking in another deep breath, he did what he had only done moments before to track once again. But it soon led to an issue.<br/><br/>“Oh, now that is fascinating.” Jek said, watching as their own footprints that led back the way they came, slowly disappear, as if they were not meant at all to know where they came from. “Something is going on here outside of our understanding, outside of our knowledge of what this was supposed to be.” He said, walking over to grab a few small rocks and made a small arrow to point back the way they came from. “Alright, well, lets see if we can’t find the girl?” he said, walking towards the path that led up and around, only to find it wasn’t there any longer. “Well… That is unusual.” He said, setting his hand on solid rock that sound have led to the path, smooth with no way to climb up or go around it. He took a deep breath and centered himself in the light side of the Force before turning back around to face Jax. “It seems we have no choice; we follow after the girls and hope in finding them, we also find the one we came for.” He said, reaching for his lightsaber to use as a light source as he gestured for his friend to go first.<br/><br/>“No matter what, we can’t split up. I don’t think things will work out in our favour if we part ways.” Jek said as they slowly walked steadily down, deeper into the darkness. “And we need to focus on the light side. All I feel is the Dark Side down here, its in every single bit of rock.” He said, knowing he was just stating the obvious, that if his friend too focused, he would sense the very same thing. This was not what he wanted, but the hope that he would find and see Aeris soon filled him with a lightness that made things a little easier going into the tunnels. Following the girls path with his learnt skill was easy, until they reached a split path, and he grabbed Jax to pull him to a stop. “We need to pick a path… Their footsteps go off in separate directions.” He said, using his foot to wave the fog out of the way to show him. It was easy to tell which set belonged to who, as An-Lok’s were far heavier than Aeris’. He was more than sure he knew what path they were going to go down.
