Hey guys! This is the... I guess "foreshadowing" of the next chapter. I was writing it, but now I don't know what to do next. This is where you come in. Suggest something that seems logical. Nothing inappropriate, please.
"Okay then," Lianna said awkwardly. "We should head into the forest. It's confusing and dark, but -" Lianna was suddenly cut off by Alexa tackling her to the ground just as an arrow whizzed through the exact spot where Lianna's head was.

Around her waist was a belt. Attached to the belt were jars of sloshing, clear liquid, and sharp, gleaming knives.

"Firezi Assassin," I breathed before Lianna let loose a bloodcurdling scream.
Then the ground rushed up to meet my head.
And... there it is. So... suggest away!
