Deactivating the lightsaber, Jona suddenly glanced up into the distance. He sensed some great disturbance in the Force, one that he had only felt once before. It was coming from just outside of Holadino.
On the outskirts of the town, a crackle of electricity split the air wide open, revealing a window that looked onto a very different landscape. A figure stepped through it and glanced around slowly. He was dressed in a chestnut brown robe and cowl, and the face beneath it was ashen grey and hollow, with dark red eyes under a hooded brow. Seeing the town, he grunted to himself and set off in that direction.
Meanwhile, near the location where Erica, Jessica and Sophia had settled for the night, a second portal opened at the exact same time. A tall, rangy human in light blue robes passed through. His skin and eyes were both shades of rich brown, and his wide lips curled in a slight smile as he uttered a brief incantation. The spell lit up a human figure not far from his position, shining through the obstacles between him and his target. Satisfied, he began to head in that direction.
