[Cathbodua]

Location: Sekalus

THe world was something strange, with the padawans thought jumbled as they descended in crash positions she was watching the two masters and knew the bodysuited one Cathbodua would be able to heal them assuming she made it through as they were heading down and she braced for impact when the ship came in. Crashing into the jungle as the padawan blacked out and came to laying there with the jedi master over her using the blue cube to heal her body, her vision was blurry but getting less so before their attention was on the others with them and sounds around in the jungle. "Alright everyone group up and be ready for anything. We'l search around and get to the port."

Matsu was in the ship and moving through the crash site she didn't know what they were doing. here in the jungle was a hard place to work and she was fairly certain they had been going for demonsgate then got knocked off course. Now the lot of them were crashed in the jungle and she was meditating on the force to try and guide them up to the city they flew over when coming in. "We shall move out but be careful. I don't want to risk some of our injured trying to rush ahead." Her eyes opened while looking over some of the things and Matsu could feel the force energies of the planet were dark and twisted. With more within the surface while they were going towards the edge of the jungle..

For some reason activity in unknown ships had sparked, although many crash land. Maybe some kind of warning should be put in place or some kind of system where there can be a constant breach in the storm. Very few spots open up here an there but never for long. The girl asuna walked into lady val leriums office as she had been called upon. The woman remained quiet for a minute or two focused on the screen till she looked up. "Asuna we will be heading out shortly to observe the arrivals. Hopefully we can keep them away from the city and guide them elsewhere." Asuna would nod. "Yes lady, will I need any gear with me?" She asked, with experience the unexpected was something that should always be prepared for. After all she didn't expect to loose the throne in her mid twenties and transformed into such a new beautiful body. If anything Asuna loved the new body she had been given. "Just some binoculars should do maybe food and drink." Asnua would simply nod again and collect her thing.

The padawan was watching them as she felt the healing energies and watching cathbodua as she stood up in her bodysuit crossing her arms. The knight spoke though to the master as she was looking around. "This world is wrong, the darkside is strong." The padawan could see her masters hand going to the lightwhip and she knew how powerful that was, the healing crystal of fire within and the crystal to make her connection to the force stronger while soothing her mind and body were what gave the while still a kight a clear advantage over other healers she had seen.... The padawan also noted that it was also her attitude of training more then just saying she was the best like others had. "We'll prepare and set out soon, I'll make sure we have all of our gear." She was watching her head off and felt groggy closing her eyes while the healing energy of the cube let her drift off for just a moment.

Matsu nodded to that, the world felt wrong and connecting to it she wasn't exactly certain what she was feeling but it was the distinct taste of the darkside while she was looking to try and make sure they could transport the wounded. THe sections of ship that were scattered and had broken into what looked like a cave system with rocks in it they could use. Matsu was sending several of the scanner drones inside to search for well anything from technology to minerals and ore to indicate as she moved gathering a few more of the dead and bringing them over to the small pyre they had made. A controlled burn pyre for the jedi bodies and able to burn itself out before moving on as indication of phrik were on the world and she was guessing there was someone there mining it since both tunnels and more importantly i was phrik and most sources had someone mining it.

Asuna had collected the things lady val lerium asked for and returned to the office. The room was large with glass exterior walls with a view down to the city. A speeder had been prepared ready for transportation although it was her own so most likely this task was something to be kept on the down low. If asuna knew Sanya well by now she was a woman not yo make people panic or anything. Following the woman neither said anything and the atmosphere seemed tense although she knew the woman was under a lot of pressure as of late. She was planning a wedding, setting up diplomatic meetings and some internal affairs with in the order of the black rose. There wasn't a moment the woman wasn't busy. Asuna sat in the seat next to Sanya watching her power up the speeder and grasp hold of the controls. Her body would feel like it sunk into the gel seats as it lifted from the metal platform then shoot off towards the grasslands.

The padawan woke back up when she heard what they were planning on doing... it wasn't the smartest but nightfall in a jungle was also dangerous. At least they could defend a tunnel as opposed to an open area and she understood that. She also understood why with her broken leg they were dragging her into the tunnel and lowering her down while the jedi knight stood over her removing the hood from her suit but not her mask. She never took that off while they were moving into the cave deeper and a multi color of lightsaber blades lit the cave in different shades and shadows.

Matsu could feel others were on the planet and that they would be encountering them. it brought her attention around while going into the tunnel and scans showed more heavy phrik deposits as well as crystals and she touched the ground loking down the pathway in the tunnel. "We'll continue forward, I can feel life this way and we'll go towards it and the city we saw below us when flying." Some of the jedi were moving with her and helping the others as Matsu had some of the droids picking up and extracting both crystals and phrik in case they needed to trade something to someone for passage or a way offworld and medical attention. She could see the shine of aurodium on the world while motioning forward and leaving a beacon at the cave mouth, then down the tunnel to follow and find them.

Asunas eyes glued to the sceanary. She may have been former king but never really took in what the world had to offer. All she wanted to do was control and feed the lust for power. The people where unhappy and oppressed but now lady Val Lerium ruled as queen things where getting better. She understood how power can change someone and it did. She could remember when she was younger people spoke as a friend and not out of fear. Now it's back to that again and well it felt good. "Miss Lerium, thank you for dethroning me. I never expected to say that but, well you do a better job than I ever could. I was corrupt and greedy. That isn't the kind of person who should rule a world as beautiful as this. You are. People respect you not fear you. I even heard about some people offering them selfs to become like you." Asuna looked over to the woman to see a smile. "Asuna dear you don't need to be so formal, and your welcome. Honestly u didn't know how to rule a world at first but I guess I naturally fell into it. The people of this world are amazing they strive to become better. An yes I heard about that too. It put a smile in my face." The speeder would slow down and locking into a beacon. From map surveys it was located at one of the phrik mines. The crashed ship wasn't far in fact the black tunnel of smoke could be seen clearly.

The padawan saw them as they kept going forward, gathering phrik for trading and they could do some of the things. She still couldn't move but being dragged she could see and observe the tunnels as she felt the darkside pressing around her. "Master what is this place? I thought we were going and trying to set up operations on Demonsgate. Their mining might be able to help us." She said it and laid there breathing out in a long line to move her hair out of the way as the bodysuited jedi knight spoke looking down at her. "It is something else, we were looking for demonsgate and detected something of the darkside. We were going to investigate it but there was a massive storm here and it casts the whole world in darkness, or it might be a product of it. Either way we will need to investigate."

Matsu felt something was approaching in the distance but she couldn't gauge how far away it was or if they were going to encounter them as the cave gave way to an opening in the jungle valley. They were able to see across the distance of the trees and open area as she stopped the group. "We'll set up here, use what we can to make small fortifications to defend themselves and the wounded s they stacked crates at their back. "Set up what drones we have to patrol the area and motion sensors on them to alert us. I don't need perfect but something we can use for the night." That was all they needed as she was letting her attention go to the force and slowly shifting and shaping the rock to make some protected area's and shelter just in case.

The speeder soon slowed as it closened to the foliage of the trees. Asuna could only presume Sanya was looking for a clearing and one quickly presented itself. The speeder hovered in place then descended. Shadows from the trees blackened the interior. Asuna would collect the small shoulder bag and exit the vehicle behind Sanya. "We shouldn't be far out and the engines shouldn't have been loud enough to alert them of our presence." The woman said with confidence. "Umm lady lerium how long should it take to be in viewing range?" Asuna asked. "Fifteen minutes or so, depends how fast we walk." She would giggle a little from the slight sarcasm. As she began to walk with a fast pace. Asuna would quickly follow reaching into the bag for some bottled water. It was nice of the woman to have secured the materials to fix the water systems. It no longer had a funny tinge to it and was refreshing now. As Asuna kept walking her eyes focused on the scenery how the trees where in blossom, flowers with new buds and even the different coloured fungi clinging to the bark. The world she once ruled was a beautiful place and it was a shame she only noticed it.

The padawan was awake now looking over some of the things, the raised and shaped earth all around them for protection while some of the jedi were working to make fires they could work with. "Master do we know when the night will be here?" She asked it looking at the jedi knight as she spoke sitting around one of the fires. "I do not know, the temperature drop and the sun seemed to be setting. We will have to see but the closer we get towards the city and the poles the shorter night could be or it could be like the poles on other worlds and have the night cycle for shorter or even no period of time. We shall have to work on it and for some of the things." She was looking in the scanner and working on some of the others who were hurt as she propt up a man in some cover.

She could feel something thre as she stood there with some of the things. They had been working on what they could use as protection grinning to herself now as she listened feeling some of the force energy and she dug her heel into the ground. Pulling at the force in the world as she was letting the power of the force generate energies she could work while it came to her with the jedi master erecting a blue shimmering barrier that could protect them along with the shaped earth as she could feel the world with people and things in the jungle. More of her attention went to the beings there as she tried to feel who they were but didn't know any of them while leaving some space for the area they were securing.

Asuna and Sanya managed to become in view of the area of the crach site but no one was there. Looking through the binoculars Asuna switched to the thermal setting to confirm. After all she didn't have any of that fancy force powers. After several minuets of looking at the ship up and down only local wildlife was scoping around. "Nothing here." She said packing then away. Although the smile on Sanya's face said it all. "Don't worry Asuna we are close to them just follow me." The past few month with been in this woman's company may have been good but, well she was hard to figure out. Sanya was like a book with most if the pages blank. If anything it felt as the woman was making it up as she went. Nether the less Asuna followed Sanya that seems to know where she was going. "Miss Lerium where are we going?" She asked out of curiosity. "If I'm right there are mines this way and it feels as if it's radiating other force users. That leads me to believe those are the people we are looking for." She replied

The night was cool on the padawans skin while she laid there and under the thermal blanket nearly everywhere save her face as she stayed awale looking at the fire they had made. It had the young padawans interest watching the jedi knights and masters work quickly and carefully to give them the best places to work on things. They only needed to work on things here for one night and would hopefully be able to make it to the city the next day while more of her attention went back to the fire as the healer was working with the blue glowing cube. "Thank you master." She said it with a weak smile and got nothing back from the masked woman while laying there.

Matsu finished with the others while she knelt down and let the fire keep going as her attention was on a few of the things out there in the jungle. her eyes flickering back and forth under her eyelids as she sensed more people were there. "Rest now all of you." She had some thoughts going to the ones there while she was sending soothing force energy to help them heal. There were beings out there with something coming towards them as she was feeling the people throughout the earth feeling the force energies while she was generating it into her mind to see the world before she started to rest and calm herself.

Branch, tree, bush, branch, vines. The seneary seemed to repeat it's self. Night had fell quickly and now the woodlands around echoed with the animals around them. It grew much colder now able to see her breath as mist that dance around from the moment it left her mouth. Still anuna was well rapped to and Sanya looked as it didn't seem to phase her at all. Like she was used to the cold. Although it didn't stop her some feeling sniffily and her body starting to shiver. Asuna looked over to Sanya with the low lit head torch to see she was grinning. "Not used to the cold huh?" The woman said as they pushed forward. "No not really, I prefer been warm."

Asuna and Sanya soon got to a small ridge line with an open view to the mine. Thats if it wasn't so dark. It just blended into the senerary. Although Asuna took the hint when Sanya gestured to stop and get down. "Where here I think. Asuna get the binoculars out see if you can see an entrance." Sanya asked her in a low quiet voice. Doing as the queen said she pulled out the binoculars onto a night visions setting. "Yes I see it." She said quietly. "Good now switch to the thermal and see if there is any glimpses of life in there." She ordered. Asuna would look for a moment and even zooming in till she saw it. Possible a figure of something it was hard to tell. But something what inside. "I'm not certain it's people bit I'm certain something is in there."

The padawan drifted off to sleep while she was going in and out with the healing energies from the crystal the jeid knight could charge and leave slowly coating the area to heal the ones within it. She couldn't sense others but was letting herself sleep and relax as the jedi knight was near them propped against the wall watching over them and sensing outwards across the cave. She couldn't make out anything but the one jedi master erecting a barrier around them to protect them in the night. Come morning she was certain with the healing energies expended in the crystals before they were recharged they would be able to get up and continue going.

Matsu eventually went to sleep, when she was certain nothing was going to break their barrier easily or attack them at least for the night. She let the night come and feel the morning on her face while waking up from where she was laying on the ground. The jedi master propped herself up and the early morning light was filtering in through the trees while she looked over the different parts of the camp they had set up and rose starting to wake people up. Check on the wounded and the alive until they were up and ready with some of the food cooking so everyone could have something to fill their bellies while preparing for the long trek through the jungle hauling some phrik and their gear.
