Thump...Thump...Thump
The dull sound of Koal's shoes hitting the rock he was perched on was the only sound to be heard at the moment. The two Sith Lords were meditating, trying to pinpoint the source of the force presence they sensed. If they only knew... The young swordsman thought to himself, chuckling a bit. He carefully stood on top of the jagged outcropping, balancing on the balls of his feet. Purple orbs became slits as he peered out at the lake that had halted their progress. His focus was interrupted by the sound of rocks grinding on each other, signaling someone was walking to his side.
All of Koal's misgivings came back to him as he relaxed again, and Leah noticed. She opened her mouth to speak, but the final member of the Lynch family beat her to the punch."Don't try and downplay the severity of this situation, Leah. You're going to tell me that we will succeed, and that I won't have to deal with Seraph." Koal faced the older she-demon, "Seraph's influence isn't going to disappear. Not for a long time." Leah closed her mouth, letting out a pensive breath.
Koal closed his eyes and racked his brain for anything they could do to get to the grotto. He had already ruled out walking around, that would be too dangerous, and Koal didn't want to expose the group to that kind of risk. He had to be smart about this. They could build a bride with Omnilium... but that would leave them tired and drained because of the concentration that would require. No. Koal and Leah needed all their strength to fight Seraph. A boat? Not too big of course. But it would need protections against he lava.
Koal jumped off the rock, rolling when he hit the ground to prevent any injuries. He ran over to his master, barely able to contain his excitement. His master lifted his head as Koal came near. "We have discerned that the location of the presence is-"
"Directly across the lake, I know. Don't ask how, I just do." The half-demon interrupted. He then proceeded to tell the Sith his plan. His master was nodding his head through the explanation, as if it was a good idea. Sounds of feet hitting the ground were heard as Leah caught up with Koal. The need for words was minimal for the two, and Leah touched his left hand, transferring herself back into the seal, the symbol burning with a blue glow.
Nihilus motioned with a gloved hand for Koal to sit down, so they could begin. Koal complied, settling down on his haunches. He bowed his head and closed his eyes. The three Sith tentatively reached their minds out to one another, so they could focus together. Koal guided their minds onto a design in his head. A ironclad in design, yet built to weather the hot lava they would be traveling through. The hull was packed with dry ice to keep the metal cool and maintain the integrity of the vessel. The hull itself was made with a fortified steel compound, that Leah had told him about during his teachings.
Demons used it to forge their armor. Protected them from the many lava flows that were common in hell. The three focused their minds, their energies seeming to keep one another on track. The welded plates of metal came together in his mind, it had more modern technology in it so they wouldn't need a crew to keep the boat running.

Twenty minutes. Twenty minutes later and Koal opened his eyes. A migraine had developed in his head, but they had done it. They had made a boat. Koal grinned with triumph, his eyes drooping a bit due to exhaustion. He helped his Master up, and together they boarded the vessel. One step closer...
