"They're green and brown scaly reptiles with white fur around their chins," Ryuu replied as he headed back out into the jungle, "Just look for the void in the force... these lizards are known for their ability to create force nullifying bubbles."
Ryuu led the way back out into the swamps, on a planet so overrun with life one would think finding a dead spot in the force wouldn't be hard. But the dark side was very strong on this planet. The wounds it created made many "dead zones" that clouded Ryuu's senses. Nevertheless he would have to try. From his research Ryuu had learned that Ysalamiri tend to spend their time high up in the trees grouped together in order to expand their force bubbles. Ryuu started his search by using force speed, a technique which used the force to enhance one's muscle performance for superior agility. Picking up enough speed Ryuu was able gain his footing on one of the larger trees and run straight up the trunk.
Reaching the branches near the top, Ryuu was a bit uneasy as he attempted to balance himself. His remote floated up to his level, trying to stay close by, "So many trees," Ryuu sighed, "Where to begin?"

Nodding as he described the little creatures, Ama closed her eyes, focusing on the image in her mind of the Ysalamiri, on their abilities. Opening a single hazel eye she watched as he took off towards the trees, scaling a particularly tall one. Another smirk flashed across her face as Ama took off after him, towards a different tree, taking a quick leap to propel herself into the dense foliage.
Climbing and weaving between the branches the slender woman soon appeared from the top of the tree, giving a wave to Ryuu. "Worry not, Ama may have an idea." Looking out over the dense and muggy swamp, she jumped again, aided by the force to the next tree top, looking for gaps in the Force. "Ama has a good feeling about this direction, come Ryuu!" She shouted, hopping back and forth between the trees.

Ryuu followed after Ama, leaping from branch to branch. Suddenly, Ryuu's balance was thrown off and he almost fell after planting his foot. Ryuu quickly wrapped his arms around the tree's trunk to keep from plummeting down to the jungle bottom. Ryuu's ability to balance himself with the force had strangely been cancelled, and the reason why rapidly became apparent. Clinging to the tree next to Ryuu, almost blending with the bark was a Ysalamiri. The creature seemed to be asleep but its force nullifying bubble was at work all the same.
"There you are..." Ryuu said to himself, grabbing his lightsaber off his belt and igniting the blue blade, "It's a good thing Cain doesn't need these little bastards alive..." Ryuu plunged his lightsaber into the lizard and the force suddenly rushed back to him. Ryuu extended his hand and summoned the corpse of the Ysalamiri to him before it could fall, "That's all we'll need here... Ama, come with me."
Ryuu scaled back down to the jungle's surface, his boots sinking in up to his ankles into the swampy muck. Ryuu turned to his remote droid, "It's time to return to the ship, lead the way," The droid beeped enthusiastically and began to float off towards the east and Ryuu followed. When they found the ship again it had sunk even farther into the swamp, but Ryuu did not seem concerned, "After you..." Ryuu said, inviting Ama onto his Dynamic Class Freighter as the remote floated into the ship.

"Master Ryuu a gentlemen? How rare." She mused, climbing aboard the Freighter, giving a last longing look at the planet she had called home for so long. Ripping her gaze away she smiled, looking about the neat interior of the ship. Flinging herself into a seat, uncaring if her muck covered feet and clothing messed it up or not she buckled herself in.
"Ama wishes to know where she and Ryuu will be going next." The woman stated simply before swatting about her head. The flies were back. Oh how she hated the flies, constantly bothering her as she attempted to sleep at night, they were almost as annoying as the voices. Now they, the voices, they were truly the bane of her existance. Other than Mother. "Mother got what she deserved." Ama muttered to herself, still swatting at thin air.

Ryuu ignored Ama's strange behavior, walking past her towards the ships cargo hold and placing the Ysalamiri's corpse into a cold storage unit. He spoke to her as he made his way then from the cargo hold into the cockpit, "Our next stop is a planet called Korriban. Much the opposite of Dromund Kaas... Korriban is a barren, dead world." As Ryuu sat himself down the ship heaved once more, sinking further into the muck. Ryuu started the engines and the ship lurched forward, but was stuck. Ryuu simply closed his eyes, the force wrapping underneath the ship and lifting it up out of the swamp. Slowly the freighter eased upwards until it was completely free of the mud and jerked forward. The ship wobbled lightly before taking off through the trees and into orbit.
Ryuu punched in the coordinates for Korriban, as he did so he suddenly felt something very strange. He could see ice and snow... and a large building made entirely out of crystal. Ryuu wasn't sure quite what to make of the vision, but he was confident more would be made clear with time. The ship then made the jump into hyperspace, on the way to Korriban.
