"A man threatening me with a crossbow. I am trying to help this madman who saw me kill two traitors. I am the lord of the ruins in the forest and grant anyone shelter and protection who has been outcasted: Petty thieves, people who are falsely accused of something and people like me. I live in the forest because I am discriminated because of my appearance. People say I am a witch or demon but I am human like you and him. My parents abandoned me when I was young and a hunter took me in but the superstitious villagers burned down his hut and killed him. This man you are protecting has been accused of rape because he had an affair with a married noblewoman." Celes said. The man still was afraid and said: "But if I go back with you, how can I know that you wont kill me?" He then turned to Jack and said: "Please watch out, if you decide to take her out, she has a huge axe that she swings so hard that she could chop half of the forest down with one strike and still decapitate you." "I wont kill you as long as you do not steal for the community or kill any of your neighbors. And do you think that some man will believe those legends. The villagers tell those stories to scare children." Celes answered.
