Asher appeared in a silver blur within a group of trees, his feet landing on a large branch, and beside him stood one of his photon clones, the only one he had left behind before he teleported to the Logistics and Missions Operation Hall back at the Star Academy. As for why he had left the clone behind, he had placed his last position marker on a stone and handed it to the photon clone for safekeeping. After all, if he teleported to the Star Academy with the Villagers, how was he supposed to return here without a fixed anchor point?
With his arrival, the photon clone gave a silent nod, crushed the stone in his hand, thereby disabling the last position marker, and then vanished as it dispersed into invisible light photons that dissolved seamlessly into the atmosphere.
