Okay, here's the next chapter. :) It's a little short, I have to admit, but I'll submit another one very soon! Oh, and please excuse any grammatical errors or anything similar that you may find; I'll fix any problems that may be there, it's just I wrote this at about one forty in the morning. O.O I'm a night owl. :P
Luke led the way as they rushed towards the swamp. Hail barely missed him, scratching his cheek, causing warm blood to trickle down his neck.
A few moments later, they all tripped and stumbled into the thick swampy area. Humidity immediately caught them as they breathed in air heavy with water.
Han got up first, followed by Chewbacca. Leia stood up, and shakily assisted Luke. After they all brushed themselves off, they proceeded into the area.
Tall trees lined the area as they ran along, splashing in murky water the whole way. The canopy over them saved them from most of the rain and hail, but an occasional ice ball or giant splash of water would land near them. As they continued to run, they all began to grow tired. Luke started to slow down first, the aches from his confrontation with Palpatine starting to burn. Eventually, Luke stopped running completely and crouched down onto his knees.
Leia stopped beside him and leaned down. "Luke, are you all right?"
"I'm fine," Luke panted. "Come on; we have to keep going."
Leia seemed like she was about to protest, but Luke quickly got up and started to run again. Leia and the other two scrambled to keep up with him.
For what seemed like an hour, nothing changed; the surroundings seemed the same, and they saw no one. Luke was about to give up hope when he suddenly sensed Aaliza nearby. He froze, trying to get his bearings. Han, Leia, and Chewbacca all stopped behind him, exchanging looks of confusion and silently communicating as to why Luke had stopped again.
"She's here," Luke said suddenly. "I can feel it."
