The earth is damp and dark, and the turquoise light shimmers like an iridescent pulse that washes over the stalactites hanging from the top of the cave.
"What is this place?"
His companion chuckles and regards the young man with shimmering green eyes. Long red hair tumbles down her back and there are flowers and branches wreathed through the braid.
"Hopefully something that can help us with our quest."
The young man shakes his head. "I had never imagined. I mean I had thought these were gone, destroyed by the Empire once-"
"The Fatae have kept watch over and made sure no humans, Jedi or not, will become aware of its presence."
"Then why show it to me?"
"Because, my friend, the chaos and disruption can be felt even here in Tir-na-n-og. We can no longer stand to the side and watch the death and pain fester and spread like a disease."
"Are these kyber crystals?"
The Fata looses a chuckle, amused.
"I suppose you can call them that. They have been touched by a power far older and more ancient than that of the crystals that rest in the kyber caves you have scattered throughout your world."
The young man looks across the cave that stretches far beyond what his eyes can see.
"I'm not sure this is enough. I've heard rumours that the Empire is starting to build a weapon beyond anything we can imagine. I hear that it has the ability to decimate and level entire cities. That it could even destroy an entire planet."
The Fata hisses through her teeth at his words, the tips of her sharpened teeth showing through her lips.
"Do you propose we sit and wait for that annihilation to befall us?"
The young man looks at her affronted.
"Of course not Eolande. I have spent my life devoted to the cause, to the Church. To making sure that there is something left for us to protect and grow."
Eolande nods her head approvingly.
"I was right in choosing you Lor San Tekka. The strongest stars have hearts of kyber as they say. Now find Lyra Erso and bring her to me. Let us start our insurgency before it is too late."
