Chiaro stopped for a moment, and placed his hand against a tree.
"This entire forest is radiating with magic... but the source is not the forest itself. The trees merely act as relays, causing too much interference to locate the source itself. Let's just keep on going."
A while later, the group arrived at the camp. A few tents were still standing in the clearing, but it seemed most supplies were removed. Wether they had been removed by the first team, or by the natives of the island was unclear, but it was clear the it had happened in a hurry. There was no sign of anything alive.
After looking around a bit, Chiaro moved to the center of the camp.
"It'll be getting dark soon. We'll rest here. Move away from the trees, and I'll make this place a bit safer..."
After everyone had moved away from the trees, Chiaro closed his eyes and concentrated his energy. Slowly but surely, the trees surrounding the clearing began to grow towards each other, creating a sort of barrier around the camp.
When most openings had closed, Chiaro opened his eyes and looked around again.
"Good. This'll help, should they attack us here. For safety, we'll still have to keep someone standing guard. Hikari, you're first guard. You guys decide how to divide the rest of the night. I've spent too much energy right now, I'm going to sleep."
