72 Strange flames

Kyrie and Ian run after Maya. However, once they arrive in the forest, they lose her. 

Kyrie turns his head around, but all he can see are the trunks of ancient trees. All preventing him from looking further to the horizon as if nature is working together to cover Maya's tracks. 

Despite the sun stands high in the heavens, the dense forest has barely any sunlight that could illuminate their path. Their ears drown in the continuous sound of rustling leaves and branches coming in all directions.

Kyrie steps on the ground and then stumps at it again. The ground barely imprinted the outline of his foot. Someone as light as Maya would not leave any footprints for them to follow. Even if she did, it would barely be imprinted on the ground for them to search diligently.
