What lays deep with in. (Agomar)

[Nesheph]

Nodding to him, as she once again started out for what looked to be where the dripping was coming from. It only came clearer that this was where it seem to be coming from. Putting her hand up against the the solid wall. Only to feel the dampness from the wall. Looking back at [member="Connor Harrison"]

I feel the life of flowing water behind this wall let us try find a way around this all, there has to be away...

 

[Connor Harrison]

Connor crouched down as he stepped through the door and was hit by a blast of cool, natural air. The cold, crisp nighttime air was tunnelled down here somehow, but in a Temple as vast as this, it wasn't unexpected.

Looking down, he saw that there was water before them.

"Let's follow it, and see where it goes."

Slowly placing his boot into the cold water, it kept going until it came just under his knee. Shivering at the chill running up his body, he grinned as he brought down his other boot into the water, turning to look up at Maya.

The dripping continued up ahead.

"Well, you coming in, or walking around the outside?"

[member="Nesheph"]

 

[Nesheph]

Looking at him at him fully before giving him a wink. I'm coming in just give me a second. Being smart enough to remove some of her clothing keeping her skin tight knee highs boots not know how far up her body this water was going to go. Only to find herself down to her body suit she wore under it. with all her clothing gathered in a bundled. held above her head. Feeling herself easy into the very crisp water. Giving herself a wink, before coming up next to him. I guess after this all done and said one of us will have dry clothes, lets go see where this leads us.

Taking off slowly to make sure her footing was good before slipping deeper with in this tunnel complex. Flowing down more but staying close by Conner side. Until they came to where there was a slit of the tunnel into two one to the left and one to the right.

I know what your going to say we want to stay together or slit up to cover more ground. [member="Connor Harrison"]

 

[Connor Harrison]

He raised his eyebrows in accepting he hadn't really thought this through unlike Maya, but he shrugged and smiled as she slipped in the water, clothes above her head and face full of pride.

They then came to the fork.

She was right, as Connor thought just the same.

"The thing is, if we go into one tunnel each, who know what we may find. I am happy to take the right if you want left. Of if you feel more comfortable staying together."

At least if he ran into trouble, Maya wouldn't be in danger if it was just him.


[member="Nesheph"]

 

[Nesheph]

All she could do was look at him, then at both tunnel, before she let the force out of her exploring both tunnel before making a destitution. I think we need to stay together oh yea.... letting the force that was away out around her body come to push the side of his head a little bit. Please don't think that, remember I can feel what your think but your emotions that you put out. with a small smirk. As she let herself feel again in the force before picked the one of the left. guess we can start with this one if nothing comes of it then we can always back out and fellow the other one. [member="Connor Harrison"]

 

[Connor Harrison]

Nodding, he took her by the hand and led her into the tunnel, letting his Force vision enhance what he could see and feel around them, sense attuned for every little noise above the sound of the water they gently waded through.

They seemed to walk for a while without any trouble, but the light soon started to fade before them.

Connor came to a stop.

"The light is fading. I've not got my torch or anything. Unless you trust me to lead you into darkness, with my sense focusing on what is ahead?"

He pulled her towards him and hooked his arm around her shoulder.

"You're going to be the death of me, you know that!" Connor grinned and shook her gently.

Suddenly, a low rumbling sound came from above them, rippling through the tunnel from behind them, over their head and into the distance, as if a speeder was rumbling by overhead.

"What....was that? Are we out of the Temple grounds already? We can't be..."


[member="Nesheph"]

 

[Nesheph]

This force vision was something she hadn't even thought about training in. Really, now what every do you say that for, just because I like to go on adventure not say to my room. Don't...

Only to stop her words from speaking as she heard over head them. As if because of the water and then echoing of it the sounded a lot louder. I don't know we haven't been walking that long, have we, I mean will..I really puzzled just as much as you are, Connor.

Letting her hearing reach out more then it had been along with letting go of the other senses as well. Coming to the clear understanding now as she felt the nature from above. Just where was they, they below the temple ground some where. Only to find her self slip on something smooth and slick. Grabbing onto [member="Connor Harrison"] as she went down not knowing if he could hold them both up or if all the smooth rocks was as slick as her was that she had step on. If so the current would carry them.

 

[Connor Harrison]

He should have planned more before coming down here on a whim from Maya - what did she even want to find down here? That rumble could be anything, but it just didn't seem right to come from the Temple.

And then Maya went down. She reached and grabbed Connor's left arm, pulling him over slightly, but he managed to keep his balance, just about.

"You ok?" Connor shouted above the current, seeming to be getting louder.

He looked around and it sounded as if they had taken the wrong tunnel. The rumbling was getting closer, he stood firm, holding Maya as best he could.

And then he saw it - the wave of water coming towards them from the right hand tunnel they had ignored to go down.

"Maya, time to go - let go of me!"

[member="Nesheph"]

 

[Nesheph]

Nodding to him, as she regain her own footing. In her mind admitting that maybe she should thought about this more before going down like was doing now. Yea. and Yo...

Here eyes widen at the fact what was coming at them letting go. Looking at him with eyes with out fear but with her own thinking. Letting go, only tuck her clothing under one arm. Bubble you know how?

Holding up her hand as if to brace herself, only to find hers using the force around and him, to put up a force bubble. JUst in time, looking up at him. [member="Connor Harrison"]

 

[Connor Harrison]

Connor closed his eyes as the wave of water hit them...except it simply parted around them. He squinted, and noticed the soft wave of blue around them, a thin bubble of energy emitted from Maya's palm as she surrounded them to divert the water.

He smiled softly and didn't move.

"I'm impressed. That was quick thinking Sister."

The sound was comforting now as the intensity of the water gradually began to ease.

"This must lead outside somewhere, a drainage system or something. Do you want to continue? What were you hoping to find down here?"


[member="Nesheph"]

 

[Nesheph]

Giving him a her own little smirk, finishing it was a wink. Before she let her hand relax. Looking down down the dark narrowing tunnel that seem to grow smaller.
Thank you my brother.

Finding herself now very much wanting to find out where this tunnel lead to.

Agomar I'm opening to see where this stream lends to, but we must of trigger something that caused this wall of water to come at us. .......mmmm you don't think we run into more triggers before we find where this one lends us to.

This thought of more trouble just brought another smirk to her face, how she strived for trouble. If she had to pick a middle name it would be Capital T for TROUBLE.

Shall we, waving her hand to go on down the dark tunnel. Getting close to him with a nudge him on. "I promise to no let us die down here. Beside look how much fun we are having, how we can practice how force skills down here, its more fun then some boring classes isn't it or with a stern looking master looking over your every move.

Giving playful wink of hers, We got each other right, aren't we to looked after our fellow Shadow Brother and Sister...

[member="Connor Harrison"]

 

[Connor Harrison]

He wiped back his wet sweeping of hair from his brow as the water calmed and Maya simple evoked confidence and a sense of playfulness.

"Maya...do you know how much this will be frowned upon by the Masters? We are going into places where we don't know what danger awaits."

Connor looked into the distance on the tunnel, his voice and water echoing around them.

"And I didn't exactly come prepared. BUT I am willing to continue."

He pointed a finger at her.

"Just don't get me killed. Please. Oh Sister of mine in the shadows."

Connor started walking forward, listening to the water ahead of him. The water was gradually becoming shallower as they moved forward.


[member="Nesheph"]

 

[Nesheph]

Finding her lifting her one hand that don't have her clothing in and weapons. To half wave at him as if to say don't worry.

Don't worry so much, this is nothing like the dangers I been playing with.

Walking on down until finding as if their was at a dead in. Giving [member="Connor Harrison"] a look of what now. Well, this just peachy looks to be....aa dea................................ddddddddddddddd

Speaking to soon as it seem the under neath they was standing on seem to give away like a trap door. Giving him a look of spoke to soon. Feeling herself fall with the water that had now be released. Until making a big slashed into the a pool of deep water.

Reaching out in the force to find Agomar, where are you my brother...oh please answer me....

feeling something ice cold upon her shoulder. Agomar...is that you...

 

[Connor Harrison]

Before he could respond, the floor gave way and they fell through the cold water - downwards, not too far, but far enough to separate.

He hit the water and it was deeper than the tunnel above. Pushing upwards with his hands and kicking, he broke the water and gasped the oxygen around him.

He heard Nesheph, but couldn't see her.

"Nesheph!"

He ducked his head under the water with his eyes open, but it was too dark to see and too cold to stand it for long.

Coming back up, he swam to the side and pulled himself up onto the narrow siding, a slab of stone with chains running along the wall like a pulley system of some kind. He looped his hand over the chain and turned to look out over the water, scanning for his Sister.

Where are you...are you alright....


[member="Nesheph"]

 

[Nesheph]

Shaking it was just her imagination, playing with her. Pushing past what could been a icy cold hand.

Over here, where are you at Agomar...

Reaching out in the force to find his signature. It would lightly brush his mind as she follow her force reach to seek him. Swimming over to him to find the old stone slabs that was icy to the touch. Finding that the first thing she reach out for and touch of Agomar was his leg.

Any idea where we are now Agomar?????

[member="Connor Harrison"]

 

[Connor Harrison]

Feeling her touch on his leg, Connor reached down into the cold water and wrapper an arm around her arm and chest, pulling her up from the water with a splash, still holding onto the chain.

"I have no idea anymore. We must be under the Temple, and this water must go somewhere. I don't know where though."

Shaking his head softly.

"I think the biggest challenge now is to get out of here and back to the surface and the quarters. Before we either die or get into trouble. And with what you've done, maybe death wouldn't be a bad thing."

He smiled at his little joke and held her up still.

Time passed as he looked outwards, holding the beautiful Zeltron close before he snapped himself out of it.

"Are you ok to move along with the chain? We can only go forward - and hopefully not down."


[member="Nesheph"]

 

[Nesheph]

Breathing a side of releive to find him still in one piece. As would never forgave herself if he would have died. Giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Lets move on I have feeling this is a system underneath to bring in more then just water...hold me I'll bring out my hidden saber for some light.

Reaching up into her hair to bring out her saber hand and then with a snap hiss. It was on the yellow blade was what was the light to all this darkness. It was the glow off his eyes that told all she needed to know. Giving him another kiss to his cheek.

We get out of this.. no problem...this isn't nothing like the fire I play with ....when on out on solo missions..

Winking at him before smirking once again.

[member="Connor Harrison"]

 

[Connor Harrison]

He didn't have time to object before the blade snapped into life, illuminating the tunnel with yellow light. Connor winced as she did so, but was thankful for the light to help guide the way.

"I ain't going DOWN further, you're crazy. You're gonna end up killing us both."

Connor began to gently work with the water to pull them along very slowly with the chain.

"We need to find where this goes and get out of here. I don't like this."

His hand held her around the waist tight, his head turned slightly so not to hit the yellow blade she had hidden so well.


[member="Nesheph"]

 

[Nesheph]

Nesheph didn't like this either in her skin that is. One of them would have to keep their hopes up. Drawling upon empathy as Maya. Knowing what this could mean if she let it flow into him at this moment. Never the less it had to be done. Letting the swirls of hope and encouragement go flowing.

Look at me...

Only to stop half way as she thought she saw movement up a head. It was only then that she could see. It couldn't be why of all place would that be down here.

What is that doing down here, its looks to be one of ...no it can't be...

[member="Connor Harrison"]

 

[Connor Harrison]

Connor saw it as the same time his Shadow Sister did, and it shooke him to the core. The flapping tentacle and familiar stalk of the eye above water.

A Dianoga.

"Maya, move! Now, get up out of the water!"

He pushed her up as hard as he could against the wall to make best use of the chain by her head, to use anything to get out of the water.

"I'm praying it's not an adult - move!"

He snapped his head back as the creature was lurking ahead, panic setting in and ready to move once Maya was safely up out of the water as best she could be.

This was turning into a nightmare.
