Izikel followed Lyzah into the forest of trees behind the house.
They walked down the hill until they reached an open clearing.
Not much was said along the way, which surprised Izikel. Lyzah wasn't usually this quiet.
'She's taking this very seriously,' he thought, glancing at her. Her eyes were locked ahead, focused, lips pressed into a firm line. He let out a quiet sigh. 'I guess I have to do so too.'
"So what do we do now?" Lyzah finally asked.
"Izikel blinked. "Huh? Aren't you the one who said we should come out here?"
She shrugged, crossing her arms. "I figured since you had some kind of special powers or something, you might know a way to help me get stronger."
His eye twitched. "You're joking, right? You dragged me all the way out here without a single plan?"
She looked away sheepishly, scratching her head. "I didn't think it through…"
Izikel groaned, dragging his hand down his face. "Why would you say you wanted to train if you hadn't even thought about how?!"
