The Great Forest of Hector was still… too still.
Branches swayed despite the lack of wind. The chirps of birds had gone quiet.
No one knew what was happening, except for the beasts in the forest, who had sensed that predators above their class had stepped into the forest.
Above all, those predators were moving in groups, covering the whole forest.
In a situation like that, all the beasts could do was escape.
Every being that could feel it left this section of the forest, moving to another.
After all, there were about six groups.
............................
Group 1: Raven and Lia (Leafy).
Raven silently dashed through the canopy, Lia hopping after him like an oversized leaf ninja. Her leafy disguise fluttered like a ridiculous cape, her arms stiff like she was playing a bad version of tag.
They were looking for assassins, and Raven, whose senses had improved a lot, was leading the group.
He could feel Lia's anxiety, and he was sure she would be worried.
