??: "Step forward, young hero. I thank you for freeing me. My name is Saikatsu; I am the guardian of life in this forest."

Wicca: "Me?...A hero? I...I don't think I deserve to be called that..."

Saikatsu: "Hmm...I have watched over this forest for many centuries. But not long ago I became stricken with a pain foreign to me. I thought little of it until it grew so grave that it threatened to consume my entire being. I began to feel a hatred that I did not know existed and little by little my body began to turn black. I was frightened. But I did not want this affliction to consume me. I tried with the best of my magic to dispel it, but the infection persisted until I was bound to the spot you have found me. I dared not move for fear that if I did I would be forced to do this evil's wishes...I still fought it with only my spirit left to resist it from consuming. Then, just as I felt as though I would not be able to fight for much longer, you freed me..."

Wicca: "ThatWas Corruption? You waited here all that time for someone to help you?..."

Saikatsu: "I did. And that someone was you. You saved my life and that of this entire forest. You are a hero."
