Aurelian ran to Ayasha's side with a look of concern on his face. “Are you alright?” her fellow padawan asked while eyeing the woman's wound. She nodded though the pain radiated down her arm. Just then, Vu'thari's lightsaber hummed to life as he dispatched one of the two remaining katarns that had set their sights on the Jedi Master. With a swift motion of his hand, a burst of Force Energy sent the creature reeling back into a tree.
Silence fell over the area as the creature fell into a heap on the ground. Ayasha sighed a breath of relief as it appeared that the immediate threat was gone. Just as the padawan was about to turn and speak to Vu'thari, she noticed the katarn returning to its feet. “These things don't give up, do they?” she commented quietly while readying herself with lightsaber in hand.
Aurelian raised his pistol at the beast and just as it began to take a step, a blue ring shot out of the end of the weapon and hit the creature. Immediately the katarn tipped over unconscious, stunned from the shot. “No point killing it if we don't have to,” the padawan added. Ayasha nodded, thankful that the threat appeared neutralized and that her fellow student did not take lethal measures against it while in its groggy state. He cleaned the vibroblade and hid it away as the caramel skinned woman disengaged the lightsaber and tucked it away beneath her tunic.
“You should treat that, I have some medical supplies in my satchel if you would like,” Aurelian nodded toward Ayasha's wound. She smiled though only briefly before glancing over her shoulder at the throbbing gash. “Thank you, friend. It would appear I could use some help,” she said with a wry smile. The pair moved over to a fallen log where the young woman sat down.
As Aurelian was reaching into his satchel for the medical kit, Ayasha's eyes wandered over to the fallen katarn. “Where is the katarn....” the words left her lips as a statement more than a question. Clearly the beast had a fortitude unmatched by most creatures that the young woman had ever encountered. Just then, there was a low snarling sound several meters away as it stepped out of the shadows and slowly approached the trio.
The padawan leapt to her feet without a weapon in hand, at least not that anyone could see. She knew that all of her studying and work both with Vu'thari as well as in her time alone had prepared her for a moment like this. As the katarn stalked closer, closing the gap between it and the woman, she began forming a vision within her mind. A great deal of research had informed her of another fearsome beast that resided within this very forest: the terentatek.
Within the padawan's mind she imagined the dreadful beast that towered well over her own height. It had large spines on its head, a pair of sharp tusks at the sides of its mouth and a set of dark, piercing eyes. She envisioned the deep, guttural sounds emanating from the creature's mouth as it bellowed its battle cry while closing in on its pray. It was a terrifying vision and as Ayasha imagined it, she called upon the Force to breathe life into the creation within her mind.
The woman closed her eyes and placed her hands at the sides of her head, her fingertips resting upon her temples. She felt the Force flowing through her as the katarn leapt into the air from just a few meters away. Suddenly she pushed her hands forward toward the creature and projected the horrifying image of the terentatek into the beast's mind. To the katarn, it would appear as though the much larger, fearsome terentatek was standing where Ayasha had been and was now preparing to lunge after its smaller prey.
The katarn fell out of its mid-air leap and hit the ground with a hard thump. It whimpered in fear and clawed at the ground to spin its body into a position facing the opposite direction. Without delay, the beast pushed off from where it had landed and ran back into the thicket without looking back. The mentalist's illusion had worked and all she could do was stand there smiling. Her hands dropped to her sides and the searing pain from the wound upon her shoulder reminded her of the first aid that Aurelian had offered. “I'm ready for the medical kit now...” she said with a quiet laugh while turning to walk back to her fellow student.
