Sooner Than Expected

*Crash!*

Deep in the forest surrounding the bronze city, the sound of branches breaking and trees being pierced could be heard.

It had been a while since the sun had set, which added to the lush trees of this forest, prevented any clear view of what was happening.

*Swoosh!*

However, from time to time, illuminating the surroundings, beams of light would shoot forward, chasing a target that was moving in the shadows, but thanks to the latter's agility, the beams often ended up hitting the trees.

Another thing that aided in visibility was another source of red light, which, although much dimmer, outlasted the lightning bolts in duration, being on and moving at all times.

Even so, the beams of light were the most helpful, and lasted long enough to let one see more clearly those responsible for these strange occurrences in the forest.
