Luke ducked out of the way again, moving a few meters from his original position. Something brushing past him, this time with a distinct whoosh of the dry air and the sound of someoneвЂ™s feet scraping along the hard ground. He was alone on the plain, the air perfectly still, the caustic sour taste growing ever stronger in his mouth.ДЄgain. Then he spun, ducking instinctively as something brushed past the hood of his robe, strong enough to shift the heavy fabric over his shoulder. It was then that a far more important question entered LukeвЂ™s head.

Were they the catalyst, making the journey possible? Was that what the original pilot had tried - combining two very different forms of Sith power to overcome their lack of a true wayfinder?

Was there enough of the holocron data core left for the seeing stone to have been able to read it, somehow, taking him to where the original owner had failed to reach, all those centuries ago? And what about the kyber crystals? They resonated with the Force, their very structures in a natural, sympathetic vibration with it. Had he done it? He had the holocron, or what was left of it, and the kyber crystals. He knew himself what a powerful Jedi he had become, what untapped potential he still had within himself despite - or perhaps because of - his years of self-directed, Masterless training. He had researched the place for years, but he had never actually used the stone for its ancient purpose, to commune directly with the Force.

True enough, he didnвЂ™t know the full extent of the powers of the seeing stone. The same place as his visions, yes, but this feltвЂ¦ different.Д¬ould he have been transported? Luke frowned, his mind racing along with his heart. Lightning flashed, lighting the farther reaches of the plain, revealing it to be featureless and dead. He walked a small and slow circle, eyes at the horizon. A place reachable only with a wayfinder.ДЄndвЂ¦ by meditation? Luke took a step forward, finding the ground solid and most definitely real under his feet. This was Exegol, the hidden world of Sith only whispered about in ancient texts. He had been here many times recently, this nightmare landscape of his visions.

Already his eyes were drying out, the atmosphere, the ground, the whole place so old, so desiccated. Luke took another breath, the taste getting stronger in his mouth. If it was day or night, Luke couldnвЂ™t tell - the place was both light and dark at the same time, the vast, flat plain of black stone lit evenly from a sun that wasnвЂ™t there. The world was black and dry, the sky dark and filled with roiling black clouds, lit by constant flashes of lightning that shorted directly down into the ground. He was standing now on black dirt, hard-packed, cracked, coated with dust that swirled in eddies around his boots. Luke took a breath and could taste dry dust on his tongue, and then he realized he wasnвЂ™t sitting on the seeing stone anymore. The breeze dropped, the air still and warm. There was a bang, more like a thunderclap, and everything went black.
