Aina's roar caused a shockwave to tear a path across the mountain pass. 

For a moment, the illusion of a woman much taller than her seemed to envelop her small figure. However, this last for but a moment before a strong surge of Force fell from the glowing pillars, enveloping her body in a rain of light. 

Leonel snapped out of his thoughts, the strength of his fingers digging into his forearm growing to the point he nearly drew blood. 

He had no idea what was happening and if it wasn't for the fact he wasn't sure what he'd do even if he stormed his way up, there was no way that he'd be able to sit idle for so long. 

The elders standing amidst the pillars suddenly all sported frozen expressions. Whatever shocked looks they had just had seemed to be ramped up several fold. 

The four geniuses who had been surpassed by Aina suddenly found that continuing forward had become impossible.
