Ezra breathed properly for the first time when the blurrg was blasted off them. He could barely enjoy the relief when Kieran began tugging on the sleeve of his broken arm, “Shut up!” Ezra hissed, speaking in a low whisper, “There are things down here!” He said with slight panic in his voice. He didn’t dare switch on his flashlight, so they would have to temporarily navigate in the dark. Fortunately, he had super hearing, which would be instrumental in the cave.
He reached out to grab Kieran with his intact arm to keep them from being separated, “Can you walk?” He asked quietly. Ezra began to get up, learning quickly that Kieran had a gimp leg. With a curse, he tossed the other Padawan’s arm around his shoulder to lean on him for support. The sounds of the other vexis began to rapidly grow. Ezra picked up the pace, half stumbling and lumbering through the darkness. He was focused strictly on going in the opposite direction of approaching noise.
Ezra took a turn and couldn’t hear any immediate noises here, so he finally reached down to switch on the flash light. The light revealed an underground tunnel that opened up into a large room. He squinted to look, hobbling over while helping Kieran. After getting a little closer, the light revealed there were rows upon rows of giant eggs.
“Oh…fuck…”
