Silken black hair fluttered in the winds of Dandoran as Ejoni's eyes fluttered, entranced by the screen of her datapad as Expansionist plans for crystal harvesting piqued her curiosities.
"They would do well to.." her deliberation halted by movement beyond her screen.
A screech startled her nerves but she was careful not to show any sign of weakness as she saw the shell of a man, his eyes appeared to be deep black pools and jutting from the pierced flesh on his back were red crystal formations. The crystals themselves produced an ominous glow that matched the moaning red lightsaber in his right hand.
Ejoni's mind quickly processed what was happening.
She would be attacked, that was obvious.
The man appeared to be crazed, there was a loss of control. This man was a puppet and something greater was pulling the strings.
His brown hair, hooked nose, rugged features, and roguish attire made her wonder if the bearded man was Corellian in a past life.
Nevertheless, she would slide her feet together but maintain a solid base for maneuvering. Her verdure right hand flicked upward and she aimed her palm at the snarling husk.
Her eyelids narrowed until they were completely closed and a hush fell over her. She could feel each footstep of the encroaching threat, each one resonating like a heavy thud within her mind. In fact, if she quieted her mind and listened more closely, she could have heard his heartbeat if it were still there. The thudding became louder and louder until another shriek gave away the distance. Flipping her palm to face the ground, she could feel the Force as she drew it to her with the haste of a gunslinger reaching for their pistol. The energy rushed to her as if it were trapped in a vacuum and as quickly as it built, it was released. In a flash, she slammed her hand into the ground, instantly the energy that surrounded her exploded outward as if she were a meter striking the soil. Rocks and debris created ripples that pierced the soft flesh of the abomination as it was sent crashing back from whence it came. It snarled as it rolled across the ground but there was little sign of agony as it merely pushed itself up and charged again, albeit a little slower.
Ejoni gracefully slid back into a standing position and flourished her arms, this time, however, her left hand whipped out and her right curled to a resting position behind her back.
The abomination snapped its jaws as if it were a beast, wildly slashing with its weapon. Ejoni ducked and with that elevated left hand, her call to the Force progressed as she latched onto its ankle with an invisible grip and tugged it off balance, ever-so-slightly. It stumbled enough to reset its follow-up strike and with Ejoni's right hand, she equipped the lightsaber which was strapped to her lower back.
A magenta blade slid from the palm of her hand and stabbed forward with one smooth motion. The torso of the vile creature remained standing, even as the blade burned through his torso, it lashed out, smacking away the Ejoni's blade. Her wrist sent the blade into a flourish and before the sanguine furt could connect with a secondary attack. Ejoni maneuvered in such a way to avoid the strike, this time clasping and tugging the wrist with the Force. The creature ducked down, but as it did, her blade sliced and recoiled. Another thud met the brief battlefield as the severed head of her foe hit the silt, followed by the twitching cadaver.
She summoned her patience and took in air through her nose. She knew there would be more.
