Elloran Village, Outskirts
Theme
The trio streaked through the skies atop their new friends and recent means of transportation. The decision had been made, they had decided to follow the faint whispers of the Force to the east with the Jedi Master Bruce Guleya at the point of their formation. The beasts knew their mission and were happy to oblige. The pack of the fliers had remained near their natural habitats and kept to the grasslands allow the Jedis to proceed unmolested. As the three fliers advanced a black speck could be seen in the distance, it could only be one thing - and so the creatures began to advance to their intended destination, gently descending from the skies.
...And then there was a bang...

...And then there was a bang...
Bruce's flier let out a bloodcurdling roar in concert with the bang heard a moment ago. The cry of pain shook up the badottan as the pain seemed to be his own pain; it happened so fast with no time to react. The flier began a rapid decent the ground below becoming closer and closer, threatening the Jedi Master; for his flier's left wing had been torn asunder, complimented with the blood within... the Jedi needed to do something fast.The Jedi wrapped himself in the protective nature of the Force and reign his beast the best he could, to pull them both from a certain death, and to a lesser extent sacrifice his new companion for his own safety. A heavy choice for the Jedi.
He plummeted with his mount, a heaviness weighing on his heart as the flier hit the ground with a loud thud accompanied by the sound of bones shattering due to the sudden impact. The death of the creature he had bounded with for only a few moments struck an nerve with the Jedi, a sudden wave of sadness. The loss of any creature - sentient or not - was unwarranted, especially one of innocence.
The Jedi Master through himself away from the now still saurian, his barrier absorbing the trauma of the hard ground as he rolled across it, striking rocks and finally impacting hard into a tree truck; preventing any serious injuries or broken bones. Though he was protected, he was stunned and could not recollect himself immediately. He lifted his body up but immediately collapsed from effort as one would give out from excessive exercise - though his heart beat steadily, his breathing shallow.
A voice whispered in his mind, a voice of benevolence. Hold on, it said. Become anew. Bruce subconsciously brought himself to a trance, a trance that would collect the events as they had happened, a trance that would gather the energies surrounding him, the energies that bound everything together.
Soon... He was up.
Bruce's eyes shot open, feeling rejuvenated and determined. He scrambled to his feet and turn to face the carcass of his former mount. He had instinctively called his lightsaber to his hand, but he hadn't ignited it. He could see several figures advancing quickly toward him and the beast, but they seemed more drawn to to beast - this gave him the edge he needed and he took cover the best he could.
He needed to know, he looked around to see if he could see his Jedi companions. He pinged each of their bodies to get a sense of direction in which they were in, he needed to ensure that they were safe.
Damned the locals.
