[Lukas POV]

I was tapping my foot on the ground beneath me. After just witnessing all of my friends just get launched into the forest below, I was annoyed. Ozpin stood in his spot looking at me with slightly widened eyes while Goodwitch was deadpanning, pinching the bridge of her nose. Sighing, I step over to my left on the tile that Jaune was standing on. Ozpin raised his eyebrows silently questioning my choice.

Lukas: "Well? You gonna chuck me over there or not?"

Goodwitch: "Mr. Galia, I'm afraid we can't activate the launchpads again. It takes a little time to prime them, and we only do that if we prime all of them."

Lukas: *groans* "Perfect."

I walked away from the cliff towards some trees not that far from the pads. Glynda tried to stop me. Probably thought that I was leaving the initiation. I turned around and speed past Glynda blowing her cape and hair from the force of the wind. Pushing off the cliff hard with me foot I jump into the air with the Force sending me down into the Emerald Forest. My eyes search for my landing point amongst the hundreds of green pines. I soon identify my landing point to be a clearing of some kind directly ahead. Pushing out with the Force I begin to slow my descent onto the ground. I land with a tuck and roll maneuver standing back up in the dead middle of the area. I focus my mind sensing the area around me. I pull out my sword and readied myself for my first fight in the Emerald Forest. The blade rang out as five Beowolves emerged from the treeline. I slow down my breathing to focus my thoughts, and as I get into a combat position, the Beowolves stop in their tracks. As to add to my confusion they began to whimper and cower. Next thing I know all five of the black beasts run back into the forest, leaving me confused as all hell to the events that just transpired.

Lukas: "Okay... that's a first. Grimm running from me."

Revan: "That's because they sense my presence."

I turn around and to my surprise I saw Revan standing there. He had the same blue glow that encompassed his body. The color of his hair, clothing, and eyes were clear to the visible eye. It was weird because this is my second time seeing a spirit, but Revan was a solid blue, when the only other experience was with Summer Rose, and she only had the blow glow AROUND her body. A fact to ponder on for later. Right now, all that concerned me was that the man from the dream I had the night prior was standing before me. A nice change was that he didn't have is mask on. I could see his face. A little scruffy, but he still looked nice, for a ghost.

Lukas: "How, are you here? I thought..."

Revan: "I was just a dream? The correct term would be "vision". And I'm here because I am meant to be here."'

Lukas: "Is this about what you told me? In the vision?"

Revan: "Indeed it is, young Lukas. I am here because you need to learn a new path. A path neither Jedi nor Sith. The path of the Force itself."
