He  hummed  a  bit. "I am guessing dark magic  had  a part of this. I am just  a  druid with some ranger abilities, not very powerful really. I am not sure  how I can handle this. That is why I wanted  to find someone  else  that  could  help me, even though  this would be difficult. We might need  to do  other  things before  facing  the  forest, so we  can  get better. Unless you are some mega  powerful person." He looked away. "I left home before  the  damage started. I know about  it because I ventured  with some friends to the  forest. My female friend got changed, but because of how my male friend  was, he  didn't. It was  a miracle I escaped  there  without much  damage  to my mind. Some  things happened in my past that  I am not too proud of. You see, I used  to..erm...sleep with  any woman  that would let me. But  due to this female  druid  I met, well..I decided that a life  like that was  hallow."
