Fate

I was confused, and I'd make it known. I was looking at him, how could he be the forest, I had no doubt that there were beings I did not know about and therefore did not understand, but he didn't seem like one of those. If he was what I thought he was going to say he was, then he did not look it in the slightest. If he was truly the spirit of the forest, then he should have looked more like nature, not a grotesque battle-hardened demon.

"No... no... you're not a dryad... no.... no...?" I started to doubt myself.

"Precisely... the only one left in this forest, thus, I am not only my tree, I am thee tree, I am all the trees, and even some of the animals." Sadness.

"You don't look like a dryad...?"

"Hm... you do not fear for your own life... do you...?" Happiness.

"Not particularly..."

"I suppose Fate will handle the repercussions of my actions... whatever happens is up to her to fix... though I suppose even this is a part of her plan..." A monologue of mischievous emotions.
