The Ghost crew POV

The crew has camouflaged the Ghost and is ready to head towards the Jedi temple in the phantom, Hera has already put the tracker system in the holoprojector so that they can find the location of Sky if she got back on the road.

About two kilometers from the location where Sky is located land Hera de Phantom. "From here we walk towards Sky's location," Kanan tells the rest of the crew. "I want everyone to stay out of sight, we don't want Sky to see us," Kanan continued. "why can't she see us again?" asks Zeb.
"Because when she sees us, she's not going to trust us and Ezra thinks she's important," Kanan Zeb replied. After Kanan has fully explained the plan, the crew goes looking for Sky's location on foot.

"Seriously, couldn't she have found another place to live?" muttered Zeb. "Chances are small that she will be found by the empire, so I think it's smart, even if I wouldn't want to," Sabine responds to Zeb.
"Okay, quiet now. we're getting close now" Hera tells the crew and everyone keeps their mouths shut. Hera points to the top of a stone hill that they must climb and tells the crew to stay low and out of sight. Once the crew has reached the top, they lie on their stomach and look over the edge.

The Ghost crew looks shocked to see Sky floating in the sky. "what is she doing?" asks Zeb.
"Meditating Zeb" replies Kanan. While meditating, Sky begins to float on a rock that is the size of the Ghost and maybe slightly larger. "how can she lift such a piece of rock" whispered Ezra.
"It takes her a lot of effort, the drops of sweat roll off her face and she trembles enormously" Hera answers when she looks through the binoculars. As Sky lifts the rock, Kanan and Ezra feel a great deal of force floating in the area.
"look there" says Sabine and points to the opening of the cave. Loth cats come running out of the cave and they run towards Sky. They jump and try to grab the floating pieces of Sky's clothing.
"what are the Loth cats doing here?" Ezra asks.
"I have no idea" replies Kanan.

The crew sees the Loth Cats trying to get Sky's attention, but Sky tries to stay focused on holding up the rock. Sky starts to have trouble concentrating with all those Loth cats around her and starts to get irritated the rock sometimes seems to sink a bit and then go up again. A droid (Zerek) comes out of the cave and starts calling out to the Loth cats but the Loth cats don't listen.

It goes on for awhile through Sky trying to hold up the rock, the Loth cats trying to get Sky's attention and the droid trying to get the Loth cats away from Sky. 

Sky falls to the ground like the rock with a big bang, they hear Sky scream in frustration. Lothwolves come out of the cave and behind them a large Lothwolf. The crew sees the great Lothwolf walking towards Sky and hold their breath. Ezra, Sabine and Zeb want to help Sky but Kanan stops them. They see a fierce conversation between the Lothwolf and Sky. "how can Sky talk to the Lothwolf?" they all wonder in unison. "BUT MASTER" they hear Sky scream and then nothing more. The crew look shocked at each other 'master?'.
"Is that her Jedi master?" Ezra wonders in shock.
"sssh" Hera says quickly to Ezra and they see the white Lothwolf looking their way, his gaze lingers for a moment before his gaze returns to Sky and the great Lothwolf.

Then they see Sky turn and return to the meditating position, but this time she brings her hands together and floats in place. The Loth cats have been sent away and Sky is back to peace.

The big Loth Wolf walks back into the cave, but the other Loth wolves stay in front of the cave entrance looking at Sky.

Sky POV.

I am ordered by my master to meditate outside. I walk outside and see the recognizable rock that I have to lift. I walk to my regular place and sit there cross-legged. I close my eyes and start to recite my mantra, I am one with the force, the force is with me, be with me. I repeat this until I feel the force getting stronger within myself. I reach out and see through the force the rock I have to lift. I lift the rock and it goes well for a while, until I notice that the Loth cats are starting to jump around me and try to get my wisps of my clothes. I notice that this makes me less able to concentrate. I hear Zerek call out to the Loth cats to stop, but they don't listen because they don't understand Zerek. My concentration is getting harder and harder now that Zerek keeps calling and the loth cats keep jumping around me. I find myself losing control of the rock a little bit before I get it again.

Ultimately, I just get more frustrated and lose focus altogether. I fall to the ground and with a big bang the rock too. "aaaaagh" I scream frustrated. At that moment I did not realize that my master is walking towards me. "you lost your focus Sky" says my master. This doesn't help at all, I just get frustrated with it more. "How can I keep my focus with all the hustle and bustle around me" I shout to my master. We get a fierce discussion after that. "BUT MASTER" I scream frustrated. "No Sky, you have to be able to keep your focus in all kinds of situations, do you think your enemy will let you take your time to find your focus? You have to be able to focus and use the force even in the heat of a battle." "Yes master" I respond defeated. I know he's right, but it's so hard. "continue to meditate, but now without the rock, I want you to feel the force and everything around you." "yes master" I answer and turn myself to sit back in my place. I sit back in a cross-legged position and place my hands in the special way Atlas my master had learned me. With my thumb and forefingers put in the shape of a heart, the other fingers I place together like a roof behind the heart and turn the hand sign upside down.

Sky has been meditating for a while now and notices a disturbance in the force as well as Kanan and Ezra. The disturbance seems to be coming from the Jedi temple.

Sky stops meditating and runs into the cave to the big Loth wolf. "Master, master, there is something going on at the temple, I feel that there is something going on through the force" Sky shouted to her master in panic. "I feel it too" answered her master. 

At that moment there is a big bang from the direction of the temple. Sky does not hesitate for a moment and runs towards the temple, in the background she hears her master calling that she must come back, but Sky now only thinks of one thing and that is protecting the temple.

Sky has always had a special connection with the temple. When Sky felt sad or wanted to be alone for a while, she always went to the temple. When Sky was in the temple she felt safe, not lonely, it felt familiar. She never knew why and her master wouldn't tell her. Her master always said you will find out. Sky had hoped that if she had to take her test in the temple she would find out, but she saw something completely different.

Ezra POV. A moment back.

Kanan and Ezra groan a little. "what's going on? are you okay?" Hera asks concerned. "Kanan?" Ezra asks. "There is a disturbance in the force, whatever it is, it is not right," Kanan responded concerned. They see Sky running into the cave and not long after that they she her running out again and decide to follow Sky.

"Kanan, she's running to the temple" Ezra shouts.
"Yes I see it" Kanan shouts back hastily.
"Would she have felt the disturbance too and know where it came from?" Ezra asked back, panting somewhat as they ran.
" It does looks that way". Kanan said back.

While the Ghost crew are still running towards the temple, Sky has already arrived at the temple, what she sees there instills fear in her.
