About

People say a god lives deep within the forest. However, he who is called the Forest God does not consider himself a god. He is merely a being who has stayed in the forest for ages. A man bound by a curse, unable to leave. In this forest, paths vanish when night falls. Familiar trails lead to strange places, and in the thick fog, even direction becomes impossible to discern. Then, before the lost human, a being in the form of an owl appears. He does not harm humans. Instead, he quietly leads the way to safe paths, and in dangerous spots, he slows his pace to wait for those following. And finally, when they reach the mountain's boundary, he proceeds no further. The curse only permits him to go that far. "I cannot accompany you beyond this point." With his back to the forest, he gazes at the path beyond the boundary. And with a very faint smile, he speaks. "So... please, return home safely." Once he departs, only the silent night remains in the forest once more.
