The forest is dense, the only way through it being animal paths. They’re thin, and riddled with tree roots. 

Yuna keeps to the path as best she can, using her lightsaber to cut away when she cannot jump or climb. She aims to be as less destructive as she can, keeping the ecosystem in balance. 

And soon the dark stain of energy would be gone too, and the planet could flourish. 

The animal life she sensed earlier can hear her making her way through the forest, and is wary of her. 

Yuna sends out tendrils of bright Force energy, gently touching the minds of the animals, assuring them that she means them no harm, while also carefully extracting their knowledge of the dark pulsing energy. They can’t tell her much other than Red. Blood. Dark. Frightening. but it’s enough to confirm for herself that the energy is the Sith she is seeking. 

A few of the animals are curious enough about her to venture a bit closer, swinging from the trees as she passes. She smiles and sends warm greetings through the Force. 

Hours pass as Yuna traverses the jungle. Animals are at ease around her, from the continual pulse of warm, safe, and she hasn’t tired yet. She can feel a sensation of wrongness the closer she gets to the dark energy.
