Star Wars: Legacy of Rella/Part 4

Chapter 10 - The Search for the Map
Rella, Sihari, and the two explorers were looking around the place. There wasn't much to be seen except the snow, and it's blinding glow. It was foggy and they could only see five feet from their standing.

"I saw him run to the East," Ira said in her gruff voice," Maybe we should check there."

Sihari took hold of his binoculars he held it to his face and looked through. The interface showed a compass. He turned until the arrow was on North. He then dropped the binoculars and turned right," East is this way."

They trudged through the snow hoping to find some kind of signal of life. It was cold and Rella could barely feel her feet. She shivered and chattered her teeth uncontrollably. Varis noticed it and handed her a small metal packet," Here is a warmer, just tuck it in your coat and it will warm you for about an hour."

Rella did what she instructed and put in in her inner-coat pocket. She instantly felt warmth, like when you drink a sip of a warm drink and you feel your innards warm up. This was a morale boost for her. She looked to Varis," Thank you."

It wasn't long before it soon became dusk. The Noble Frost was undergoing repairs as the snow made the hyperdrive crash, so they couldn't bring the ship. Master Unumbi said what was on everyone's minds," We are going to make camps."

He took off his backpack and opened it up. He had four single-person tents. He handed one to each of the travelers. Rella put hers next to Sihari's she placed it and pressed the center button. A small metal pole extended through the hole and went straight up. The pole then shot out some cloth. It went fast, and it soon made a tent.

"Where did you get these?" asked Ira.

Master Unumbi pressed the button on his," Jedi technology."

"We need to buy some for other explorations," Ira said pulling out her wallet.

"They aren't for sale."

"100?"

"No."

"150?"

Varis touched Ira's shoulder," Come on, Ira, let's find ourselves some ice to melt."

Ira put her wallet back in her pocket," Okay."

The two walked away out of the foggy site. They left footprints to find themselves back.

"Master, watch out!" Rella cried as she saw a red lightsaber fly through the air. Sihari took his swiftly and blocked the blade. A man wearing a mask jumped through the fog. He was the Sith who stole the droids.

"Jedi," he said. He gave another swing of his blade. Sihari easily knocked out of the Sith's hand. He quickly took the saber and kicked the sith in the stomach, knocking him down.

Sihari did what he does best to people who don't practice much, nag," I see you haven't practice in a bit. You pose was also a little to relaxed, you need to show your strength more."

"You dare make fun of me!" he yelled. It echoed through the empty land. He was defenseless, he could beat a Jedi Master with the force alone.

"We will give you safe-housing, and training if you give us the droid," Sihari compromised. The sith didn't reply. Sihari continued," Your loyalty is strong to the Sith Empire. You may go."

"Master?" asked Rella.

The Sith soon limped away. Sihari secretly put a small beacon on his robe.

"You knew he wouldn't accept," Rella said.

"Yes, but it is his choice," Sihari said," We will rest know, in the morning, we'll strike."
