The Rebel Faction

Something annoyed Ky-Vin's sleep.
He had a bad taste in his mouth, and something was blowing in his face.
Slowly he got up, surprised at the feeling of the wind.
Sand? He could barely open his eyes. It was everywhere. A great sand storm had risen.
Ky-Vin could barely make out the dark shape of the creature they had slain.
"Kenshin!" he called. "Kenshin, we've got to get out of here!"

Ky-Vin could barely make out Kenshin's voice in the incredible windstorm.

He thought quickly. He looked up and down the canyon, for all the good it did him in the sand. They couldn't go back now, and who knew how far the canyon went on ahead before they could find shelter.
They had only one choice.

Ky-Vin shouted, "Come on, in here!" and scrambled up into the large gap in the wall, the one created by the creature that had attacked him.

It was a good shelter, Ky-Vin saw. The cave-like hole was actually a tunnel, and it went on into pitch darkness.

Ky-Vin was walking deeper into the cave, which more like a tunnel. It continued further and further into the darkness.
"So this is how that creature was tracking us..from inside the mountains," Ky-Vin said, "how interesting."

Ky-Vin looked back at Kenshin. "It may be a long while before the storm passes. We can either stay he and wait it out, or.." Ky-Vin gestured back toward the darkness, "we can do a little exploring.."

Ky-Vin nodded while he was pulling his hair back neatly, it had been blown all over the place in the storm.

"Right. We don't know if any more of those..things could be in here. Alright...if we sense anything like that, we double back right away."

Ky-Vin headed into the tunnel. It was about as wide as the creature, and the two of them could fit side by side.
"We could have used that lantern about now.." Ky-Vin said.
Instead, he ignited his lightsaber and held it up in front of them. It bathed the tunnel in a clean green light.

Ky-Vin returned the polished hilt to his belt. "Agreed," he said.

Together, they moved down the tunnel. They could sense the walls, floor, and ceiling of the tunnel using the Force, but it was easier to just move carefully along with Kenshin lighting the way.

The walls were smooth in some places, rough and craggy in others. The tunnel was gradually sloping downwards. Sometimes it would turn left and other times right. Eventually the tunnel gave way to a large series of caverns.
It was eerie down there, in the absolute silence. Ky-Vin was unafraid, he just felt strange, as if he were entering some unspoiled, alien world.

"Hmm.." Ky-Vin said aloud, breaking the quiet. His voiced echoed on the cavern walls and ceiling. They weaved their way through a maze of stalagmites and stalactites, hanging from the ceiling and jutting up from the floor. The faint trickle of water could be heard.
"I guess we're moving under one of those streams." Ky-Vin said.
