DYAD'S PROMISE: Clouded Agreements of the Most Divine

Chapter 41

The dark grey hue of the atmosphere around Remincore made Rey feel slick and filthy as they walked through the bogs around some ruins. After a full afternoon of exploring and searching they were just about to give up when Rey wanted to search the bog feeling drawn to it in the end.

There Kylo and Rey explored together with a group of stormtroopers. The couple's movements in tune with the other. Sentimental looks shared as Kylo could not deny the happiness he had in just working with her.

They had not gone public with their relationship but it was hard to not see how close they had become as they moved instinctively as one.

There was a sucking sound and everyone in their group froze as two of the seven stormtroopers were suddenly dropped and sucked down onto the bog but Rey had fought to release them from the sucking bog as she used a force lift and Kylo put his hand on her lending her his force as well. As they brought the two men back to rights they dripped dirty muck from their protective armor but noticeably relieved as they tried to retrieve their blasters.

"Watch your step." Kylo put up a hand and the mist cleared. He looked to Rey who circled and stepped carefully on the soft ground. Their backs now to each other. His hand reaching for her hip but finding her hand as their fingers brushed each other delicately.

"Who trespasses here on the hallowed ground of Remincore?" came a slithering voice that seemed to come from the ground they stood. The troopers all disappeared around them as they were all sucked down faster than their leaders could intervein.

Together, now alone Rey and Kylo stood with their sabers drawn. Their backs still to the other in a protective manner.

Rey noticed a greyish blue thing move just at the corner of her eye and she turned towards it, fearful. Her lightsaber illuminating her face.

"I am Kylo Ren. Supreme Leader of the Galaxy. We search out the Sith force user Tor Valum." Kylo spoke as he answered the disembodied voice.

Silence answered but the slithering sound remained and they both looked for the source as it seemed to move all around them.

Rey looked over her shoulder to Kylo, eyes questioning as he met hers. He looked serious, and his emotions were locked down save for the warmth in his fingertips.

"Force signatures," the voice whispered but it was loud and filled their ears. "I know that scent anywhere." Came the voice, only now bubbles rose from the center of the boggy area they were near and something shiny rose a few inches only from the placid surface.

Rey held up her hand to stop the attack she sensed coming and her hand sprung back in answer from the force she met.

She watched Kylo fall to the ground and he looked to her confused that she had not too fallen to her knees as he had.

"Sith killer...Jedi slayer" came the whisper. "Ren." it hissed and a tentacle fought against Rey's force strength in sporadic but equal measure.

now fully invested in fighting against the creature in Rey's defense Kylo stood against the force will of the alien and went to stand by Rey understanding better the danger to them both. This being was stronger than even Snoke.

"We were sent here by the message left in a Sith Holocron. A message the old Emperor Darth Sideous left to Darth Vader, my grandfather." He said shouting over the strange noise the creature emitted. Speaking to find common ground with the powerful entity.

"Darth Sideous, Darth Vader....Kylo Ren!" It laughed. "Silly titles of puppets. Playthings..." the voice whispered and slithered as the being still had not risen from the bog. It had strange long tentacles like limbs and Kylo was unsure the size of this creature.
