We look at Speeder to see if it is still ok at all, "Perhaps we will find the driver." 3PO questions for me to frown wondering on what state he could be in at all. I then heard the beeping of BB-8, "Yep, BB-8, I think dead, too." Poe comments while looking around at the place in here with his flashlight, "Oh, my. A hex charm." I then hear 3PO say for me to look at him with wonder on that, "A what?" Poe questions being completely dumb to these things at the time, "A common emblem of Sith loyalists." 3PO answers for me to look up at the same time as Rey on the word Sith that can't be possible down here, "Sith." Rey and I say at the same time looking  to each other than, "This was Ochi's?" Finn that questions for me to breathe in knowing that Luke would have found it, "Luke sensed it. Ochi never left this place." I was saying for me to look around at the speeder wondering if he ever left this place at all or he could've died down here in this sinkhole, "And he ended up down here." Finn says for me to nod on that wondering on why down here at all, "He was headed for his ship. Same thing happened to us, happened to him." Poe was saying as I notice Rey looking down a tunnel at something for me to follow her, "So, how did Ochi get out?" Finn questions for me to look at the bones on the ground knowing they are Ochi's bones, "He didn't." Rey says for us to look at it as Chewie groans for me to gulp in, how come he is all the way over here, "No, he didn't." Finn says for me to look at the bones kneeling down to look at them properly, "Bones. I don't like bones." Poe says for me to look up at him with narrowed eyes, "then look away from them you big baby" I say for him to pout on my words, "I am not a baby, Harmony" he says for me to roll my shoulders on that looking back down at the bones with interest, "Bones? Never a good sign." 3PO says for me to look at the ground near the bones for BB-8 to then beep on seeing something as well, "Yeah, I see it." I whisper to pick up a dagger for me to look at it as I hear a woman whimpering through it making me look at it with my blue eyes on the dagger feeling the emotion passing through it, "Horrible things.... have happened with this." I whisper to myself wishing to not touch this dagger with the angry sith spirits inside it ready to pull me in, "There's writing on it." Poe says for me to look at the writing on the dagger knowing that I can not translate this certain language, "Perhaps I can translate." 3PO says for me to give the dagger to him sitting there on my knees knowing that the screaming was my mother, I feel her spirit within that dagger as clear as day "Oh. The location of the wayfinder has been inscribed upon this dagger. It's the clue that Master Luke was looking for." 3PO says for me to look up at the droid with the hope we can end this whole thing, to begin with, "And?" Poe questions for me to stand up looking with what little hope that this will end so I can see my daughter again, "Where's the Wayfinder?" Finn questions for me to look at the droid with happiness. 

"I am afraid I cannot tell you." 3PO says for me to go wide-eyed on that, why the hell can't he tell us, "20.3 fazillion languages, and you can't read that?" Poe says for me to nod on that as I stand with Chewie, "Oh, I have read it, sir. I know exactly where the wayfinder is. Unfortunately, it is written in the runic language of the Sith." 3PO says for me to frown knowing that he is forbidden to say it out loud because it is information that is dangerous, "So what?" Rey says for me to look at 3PO knowing he is finally useful but he is making it harder not to kill a droid right now, "My programming forbids me from translating it." 3PO continues on like he is pushing the dagger deeper into my heart right now, "So, you're telling us the one time we need you to talk, you can't?" Poe says for me to nod on that wanting to see my daughter and this is taking more time out of it, "Irony, sir. I am mechanically incapable of speaking translations from Sith. I believe the rule was passed by the Senate of the Old Republic...." 3PO says for us to then see the serpent creature behind 3PO for me to raise my lightsabers like Rey and for Poe, Finn and Chewie to raise their guns at the creature making me hate it down here, once 3PO knows it is there he hides with us, "Serpent! Serpent! Serpent!" 3PO says as he hides for me to watch it as it snarls at us for me to look at it with wonder and seeing that he is in pain through his emotions. I lower the men's weapons and Rey's looking at the creature as I step forward softly, "shhh" I lightly say as I turn my lightsaber off clipping it to my belt as I slowly approach this creature, "Harmony" Rey says for me to look at the defenceless creature in pain from what had happened long ago. I step over some of its body as it hisses at me making me to breath nervously on what I am doing right now for me to gulp in kneeling down on my knees looking at the wound for me to look at the serpent then as it still is hissing at me. I place a careful hand on the wound for me to breath in deeply letting the power of the force move through my being as I close my eyes and then to open hearing the thankful moans of the serpent in front of me. It then moves away revelling an escape from these tunnels for me to sit there rubbing my hand softly as BB-8 comes over asking on what I just did, "I just transferred a bit of my life force energy from me to him." I answer looking down knowing that it was the right thing to do just then, BB-8 then chirps a bit for me to smile on that knowing it was only a little thing to me but it still hurts a little, "You would've done the same." I answer happyliy that we can get out of here away from these tunnels that twist and turn.  

Chewie then picks up the dagger that we are to get translated from a good droid not one that will not tell us anything at all. We then climb out of the tunnel for me to breath in the open air looking at the area with little interest, "yay, more sand" I mumble under my breath as I climb down the surface of the wall.
