Aria's cry was faint, but one that Yerbol could pick up. He found her staring at a stone edifice that towered in the distance, poking up above the tree line. In front of them was a stone pillar with carvings that almost seemed to glow with a soft light. He ran his hand across the carvings, feeling the grooves and indentations for any kind of hidden switch or pulley that could be activated. Shrugging at his lack of discovery, he told Aria:
"Suppose we keep moving forward. Looks like a straightforward enough path, right?" He continued through the clearing to the thickly populated forest, the local jungle wildlife penetrating the silence between the duo on occasion. Buzzing, humming, roaring in the distance, their footfa-

Roaring? 

They had only gone a few hundred yards into the forest when Yerbol heard it. He held out his arm, a gesture for Aria to stop. He turned to her, pointing at his ear. There it was again, a powerful, menacing roar that echoed through the air. It seemed to be closer than the last time he had heard it. Of COURSE there would be the potential threat of dangerous animals. It was a planet belonging to the Sith after all. 
"Keep moving." He whispered as he trudged ahead, his right hand sliding instinctively to his belt where his saber hilt hung. Another few hundred yards were traversed when a sudden chill burst through the treeline and whipped them in the face, Yerbol's cheeks and nose burning from the sting of cold air that blew through. Accompanied by the chill was the roaring, this time much closer. Just ahead, Yerbol spied a flicker of a shape darting between trees, then another roar. Another flicker, another roar. Saber in hand, he ignited the blade just as the shape rammed Yerbol in the chest, staggering the knight. Refocused, he saw the source of the abnormal noise. It was a creature humanoid in appearance, but it had sharp claws in place of hands, it's face a pale white, mouth agape with sharp teeth, eyes without corneas. It lunged again at Yerbol, the Knight dodging to his left and slicing downward, clipping the monster's back. A howl of pain as it sunk to all fours, looking at the duo before tilting it's head up to the sky, howling as loud as it could. Howls answered. 
"Great." Yerbol threw his saber at the creature, whose injury and subsequent call for reinforcements distracted it enough for the saber to slice through it's head, the corpse falling to the ground.
"To the temple." Yerbol could now see his breath crystallize into vapor. 
They needed to run.
