Sylva scowls slightly. "No, Lileath put a charm on the forest so that only he is allowed to use magic while in the forest."

"Oh, aww." Liza got back up and walked to Sylva. "Well, magic ain't everything. Don't need magic to shoot a bow or swing a sword!" she said with assurance.

The young elf perks up again. "I can shoot a bow! Can I show you?"

"Sure!" Liza said with a grin.

Sylva grabs a curved bow that was leaning against the tree room's wall and places a arrow against the string. Before she can let go, the ground begins to shake. "Woah!" Sylva falls backwards and onto the ground as the tremors continue. "Liza, what's happening!" She yelps, attempting to stand.

Now on alert, Liza grabbed Sylva's hand and led her out of the tree into the open to see what's going on.

(Are you checking your inbox thing?)

When the tremors subside, you notice some of the smaller, younger trees have toppled over. The grass and small bushes are smothered by fallen leaves and branches. A flash of dark purple darts across your left.

(I was busy doing something, so I tend to reply unevenly on forums and PMs, sorry about that!)

Liza stayed close to Sylva and took out her machete to defend herself if anything happened. "Sylva, where can we find Lileath?"

"I-I'm not sure." She stutters, visibly shaken. "Maybe th-the lake?"

"Let's go to the lake. You lead the way, I'll follow you and watch your back." She kept her machete at the ready.
