The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth, and the distant calls of creatures echoed through the trees.

Jeni tightened the straps of her pack, her bow slung across her back. "Do you think anyone else is this close to the central arena?" she asked, her voice low. I have felling that we might get ambush by a team.
