Finally, after these many months of meditation and patience, he had finally felt its call... Kyber. Desperately trudging through the three feet snow, Ssalei would look up towards the towering mountain peak capped in snow and ice and wonder just how close he was. Most would have succumbed to the cold by now, but the force kept him alive, allowing Ssalei to direct it into creating heat within his core and limbs and even a spike in front of him to help melt away the snow he was trudging on. This skill, the creation of heat, was something that Ssalei had been practicing since he had found himself on this rocky hellscape, and had found it to be something he had mastered quickly.. it was, after all, a rather simple application of the force.
Soon he would find himself pulled to the mouth of a nearby cave. Staring into the dark, Ssalei would uncertainly take a step onto the cold, damp, stony floor. It was warm? The cave must dive deep enough to feed into a subterranean lava river? Or perhaps a few lakes filled with the geysers he had heard so much about? A mystery, one he would soon uncover. Yet he would find himself frozen still, was this really it? Finally able to get the crystal to complete his saber? Or was this one last test, one he would fail and end up with broken legs at the bottom of some chasm he had accidentally fallen into? Fear.. fear is the mind-killer. He would take a second to breathe in and dispell his thoughts, waiting for the force to guide him.
