Ask Plot Cold Comfort

[Dr Ilana Morata]

In the game of focus, she was most confident. But to use this... ability, that had been dormant for so long, to focus and channel it out was going to be the biggest difficulty. But yet, she was not alone. But as her eyes closed, as she focused outwards... she could feel it. Like a massive weight, a Thing of intent, of sheer will, began to part the hissing, choppy waters before them, bending them to their combined wills. Her motions, her wills mirrored his own almost without conscious intent or effort.

However, she opened her eyes... and he could feel something rise between them, if he was attuned enough. Awe... and then the attention shifted, reinforced by the visual image before them. As he moved forward so would she, her steps measured, deliberate as they slowly went from rocky ground to the soft, sandy purchase of the seabed beneath them.

She willed herself to focus on channeling that outwards force, maintaining pressure. It wouldn't be long now...

Sweat began to bead at the base of her spine, her brow furrowed in intense focus. Their goal was so close... it was almost like one of her dreams. The dream of dark waters... of moving them to answer her call, bending the will of the waves to her own... and feeling the power of the Dark Side bending and lending its' strength to her.

Power, control, dominance... it's all you wanted and more, isn't it?

Yes. And it will be mine.

The steps inclined. Rocks that seemed placed with intent for allowing them to rise from sea level before releasing control of the water. Malakai took a deep breath in and exhaled. He felt a bit more drained than he had been before doing that but he would manage. He had felt more than the dark side and the temple ahead. While he had opened himself up to Ilana, she had done so as well to him. The feeling of resolve and drive was clear.

The darkness of the Sith Temple loomed over them as well. The inside had obvious markings from artifical modification and habitation. It felt like the shadows were somewhat changing just out of sight around the next corner or outside of his peripherals. The place was old and full of potential. But he felt himself drawn deeper.

He would begin walking further inside the cave like temple. There was no need for them to stay in contact and he moved with an independent curiosity but stopped. He reached out with his arm again. It felt familiar, something inside the temple, hidden.

Following the feeling he walked down a tunnel like hallway and stopped again before back tracking. It was like trying to follow a sound through echoing chambers. But he was not sure if it was an illusion or the truth. He was sure of one thing. The holocron that contained the secrets of Sith Alchemy had at least been here at some point. If it was still here then he and Ilana would find it and learn its secrets.
