Draco was crashing through snow, the Jakobeast gaining on him steadily, but the probes buzzing around looking for anything, the trail dissappearing before his eyes as he hiked through waist high snow drifts. The weight of his gear made him sink in much further than normal, and he had grown impatient, getting stuck and having to burn his way out with a flame projector or throttling his jump pack to get out of the deep snow drifts. He was still moving, but he was slowing. Even under perfect circumstances he couldn't last out in the storm indefinitely. Draco only hoped she had found shelter before it began, that Faith had taken a nap inside some crevasse or nook out of the wind and snow, away from the howling wind that would blister her face and numb her feeling.
The warlord kept moving, the Jakobeast slowing as it came up behind him, the beast was tired, not used to this kind of hustle, but it understood enough to notice and respect his urgency. Visibility was light and time was wasting, the trail was disappearing before him, becoming harder and harder to track, and that would slow his efforts greatly. "Alright, come on." His voice was carried off by the wind, but the beast lowered its head enough that he could climb back up onto its back. Not normally a proper mount the beast was tolerating him, no small part because of his Force Sensitivity, and no small part because of his knowledge of Mind Trick and Mind Twist. For all this beast knew, it was allowing him to ride it by its own choice and thus, was docile towards him. "We have to hurry, I need what more you have left in you." Draco would leave this beast once he found her. He would fly her back to safety if he must, but, that wasn't likely to be an option.
Snow crunched under the beast as it moved still following what was left of the trail, that finally, after hours of almost dissappearing died off and went cold. Draco stamped around in front of the beast looking for any markings of her passing for a few minutes but could only find snow and rock, nothing of his Faith. <One second.> The Force tugged and poured into him, as he closed his eyes, crouching and touching the surface of the mountain. The mandalorian took a deep breath in, the vapor from his exhalation blowing up from his face plate.
Eyes closed, the Mandalorian looked back and he saw her passing, the clouds were just setting in as her foots made squelching sounds as she passed through the snow. Not that long ago. He was still gaining on her, and she had passed this way, heading for the snow line, but still very short of it. Even with an hour lead on him at a normal pace she wouldn't be far. As a last act, he touched the place in his heart she radiated from with his mind, hoping to send her any message or comfort. <Not long now my love.>
The beast harrumphed again and began moving as he slung back behind its horns, letting the beast lead him as he kept his eyes closed feeling for her in the snow and ice. It would not be long now. All he needed was a sign, perhaps she could wave to him and then she would be found and save, but he feared otherwise. She was weakening, he knew it. She didn't have much time.
