Perhaps but Even So

You feel nervous, almost afraid to face Pan and Penni. What is it that has you so on edge?

A nervous Pan asked you to hold his paw. In retrospect, he might have wanted to hold you up, rather than the other way around. Penni just looked at you and smiled. One thing is clear now: you truly are the Forest Child.

Hand in paw with Pan, you returned to the spring. There, you saw that the Forest Master had grown even smaller. Penni suggested tracking down the last Spirit Guide, and thought he knew where they might be. But now that you're there, the Spirit Guide appears to be hiding. You're not sure why they're hiding, but in any case, Penni suggested looking for them elsewhere in Maple World. You agreed to journey out and search for them, with Penni and Pan beside you.
