Oh! I didn't expect to bump into anybody else in this place... Well, I suppose it's nice to meet you. As you can see, I am engaged in a study of the Dark Arts. I actually entered this forest after hearing the cries of the evil spirits and deciding to investigate. Perhaps our meeting here is fate, eh?
