"What exists beyond these woods, I cannot tell you for it changes each night. I do know you are in the safest part of the woods and should not get attacked here, by at least the Unseelie. The Unseelie rule most of these woods, even going so far as to relocate it each night and all within to a different place. The person you describe has not been seen by me, but that is not surprising if he left prior to this forest ending up here."
