Chapter 2 - An Endless Forest

As Anakin stared out the window, he noticed a planet that looked odd, having many different biomes, yet there was an oddly disturbing feeling that came from viewing it. His curiosity taking the better of him, Anakin changed course and directed his flight pattern towards the planet cloaked in mystery.

"Hey, where are we going now?" questioned Ahsoka, who didn't like the taste of the air that came from the turn. "I thought we were going to that rocky planet over there?"

"Don't worry, we can still check out that place; it's just…this one feels off," announced Anakin, whispering the second part as he attempted to guide away Ahsoka's curiosity from this strange planet. He had this feeling, like something was trying to push him away, yet pull him in, all at the same time. It was unsettling, to say the least. Yet, as they landed, a feeling of abnormal dread washed over him. As he took his first steps out of the shuttle, he felt the presence of something that seemed to deny him entry, yet didn't force him out. "Ok, um, let's go, I guess…," said Anakin, his confidence in his choice wavering.

"This seems dangerous! Maybe let's call Master Kenobi?" questioned Ahsoka, her commitment to exploration faltering. However, there seemed to be something about the planet that screamed for her to leave, yet also come. Thus, the pair trudged on forward, ready to face whatever the planet threw at them. 

But, just minutes later, they noticed that they had been walking long enough that they should have exited the forest by now. It seemed to go on and on, and the thick vegetation offered no insight into what lay beyond. As they furthered their awfully long hike, they eventually laid their eyes on something that made their blood run cold. Their shuttle. Yet, they had gone straight, and there was no way the forest looped…right?
