Thymos IV

I think I've found the courage that will lead me out of this hell hole.
The green dressed man from before appeared to me yet again and gave me a dagger. I don't know why and I had no time to ask him why. I went into a random direction. A swarm of giant bees attacked me, it was magnificent and they would sure make for neat pets, but I had to kill them. With my one tiny little dagger I sliced them, which was harder than it sounded because they were really giant. As I was on one of the bees I held its furry hair and flew around with it. When I was at a point where I no longer required its transportation I stabbed it repeatedly in the head until it crash landed with me on the back. Once I dusted the pollen of my jacket I saw that I had landed next to a tree. This tree was all twisted, without any leaves. What made me most nervous about it was the wooden face that was in the middle of it, like we were in Disney's Pocahontas Wild Ride...It looked at me.

"Welcome my son, how are you?"

"I'm fine"

"Well...what are you doing in Thymos's land?"

"Are you Thymos?"

"No, Thymos is the owner and creator of this domain. Thymos is god of this domain, its life essence"

"Right...I was put here by a jerk named Somnam, I don't know how to leave this place"

"Somnam you say?"

"Somnam? You mean Thymos?"

"Whatever...Where is the exit"

"As the Elder Tree I can't allow you to leave this easily, perhaps you might be hostile to the environment"

"Alright, we were just here to find a guy named Gracious."

"Ah...yes the one above all others, the favorite son"

"Elder Tree, could I ask you something?"

"Of course my son...what is it?"

"Who or what is Thymos?"

"Thymos...Thymos is the thing that keeps this place a float, the person that created this place. Thymos is the being that the one called Sam brought down here into the abyss to make this a paradise on earth"

I was going to call the talking tree on that, but then I looked around. Everything was suddenly different than before, it was peaceful and green. It was literally a paradise. The only thing that seemed dark about it was the 40 giant bees that lay dead in a trail behind me.

"You have a point, I may perhaps be hostile to your environment. Could I talk to Thymos? Would he send me home?"

"Perhaps, you have to find both parts of it though...Thymos is a being that couldn't be bound to one humanoid form, it had to be exiled into two beings due to the danger it would cause to not only this place, but most places outside of it. Sam thought it was best this way."

This Thymos guy sounds like a swell guy, which makes me wonder why the KHAOS guys didn't try hunting after him instead of the Slenderman. I'm off to find Thymos.
