Pine Forest
"I don't know.", John said as he turned his gaze back to the bushes.
as John stood there, he thought about the risks of approaching the bush. For all he knew, there could be a creature with razor-sharp claws and teeth, or something poisonous. It could possibly hurt him if he wasn't careful, or even kill him. Of course, if he didn't see what it was, it could possibly attack at a later time, when they weren't prepared. With that in mind, John spoke once more.
"Yukari, wait here. I'm going to see what that was.", John said to Yukari without taking his eyes off the bushes.
After speaking, John carefully approached the bushes with his Energy Sword, and right as soon as he got into position, John quickly moved some of the leaves out of his way and readied his sword for a strike... only to find nothing hiding behind the bushes. All the tension John had built up for the possible battle slowly whittled away until he was just slightly wary, and after a couple seconds of complete silence, John sighed as he let his head hand slightly loose with his eyes closed. Of course, when he opened them, his suspicions were only proven correct. Right below him were two thin holes in the ground. Usually, this wouldn't have been cause for concern, and most people would have assumed that they were nothing special, but John knew better. The holes in the ground were long and smooth, as if two large spikes had impaled the ground. There was nothing that could have made those holes except for a creature, most likely one with stilted legs. It was in the perfect position for the creature to be hidden behind the bush, and some of the dirt was even displaced as if it had decided to run away.
Just then, John noticeably tensed his body back up, as if he saw something.

Small indents on the trees could be seen, much like the one in the ground. But what was most curious was what looked like a crude arrow, pointing north west, and other indented trees.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

"There was something here-", John said as he turned his head over toward Yukari, only to be interrupted by the sight of more indentations, along with what looked like a crude arrow scratched into the tree next to him.
"..."
"Something tells me that we're not the only ones here.", John said to Yukari as he motioned over to the ground, then at the tree with the arrow and indentations on it.
