Eadu was a dark and miserable looking world. It made Izel wonder why anyone would bother to make a home here. The ship that she was on shook with displeasure as it was buffeted by the relentless thunderstorms raging across the planet. They flew along the jagged rocky coast of the southern continent, searching for any signs of civilization.
One of the local villages had sent out a distress signal right before being hit by an unusually massive hurricane, even for Eadu. Normally ships had a great deal of difficulty navigating the skies of the planet because of the powerful storms, which was why the search and rescue team had requested the assistance of the Jedi to help find their way. With the Force at their disposal, sensing a safe path through the gale would be simple work. Izel had been paired with a Knight, Eileen Van Alasdaire, to accomplish this task. The Vratix had never gone on a mission with her before, and was somewhat unnerved by her young age. The Vahla was even younger than she was! That meant either she was extremely talented or had very recently been knighted and could still lack experience. Izel hadn't gone so far as to mention these reservations, but had not made any effort to conceal her feelings from a probing mind.
As the ship drew closer to the craggy coastline Izel stepped up to the open door and leaned out slightly, the wind and rain battering her robed form instantly. She held her stance and reached out with a hand, feeling for any signs of life with the Force. She could sense the concentration of sentient life up ahead, but there was more than that. This hurricane had battered the high standing rock spires of the coast, knocking many of them down and revealing ancient caverns within. There was a darkness radiating out from the ravines beneath the village, something very old and malevolent. This didn't bode well.
"I can sense them! Put us down up ahead!" She shouted to the pilot over the howling storm. The ship swung around a massive rock formation to reveal the destroyed remains of a village perched on a cliffside. The shattered debris of the buildings were spread out over several rock spires and connected by rope bridges, although most of these bridges now hung down below uselessly, trapping the villagers on each of their rocky islands. These settlers are insane... Izel thought grimly to herself.
As the ship started to lower itself down towards an open space the Padawan looked back inside. A team of paramedics and other emergency responders were readying themselves to get to work, and Eileen was standing beside them. "You're the ranking Jedi here." Izel said with a respectful nod to the Knight. "I'll follow your lead Master Van Alasdaire."
