Then Traveler then has a vision come into his mind. The monk sees a strange figure of green femininity, seeming to look into his very soul.

"Why have thou come?" she asks. "Your companions I can not read so easily, but I sense in you a purity of heart. The divine wind originated through thee." Then she frowns and her green eyes blaze bright. "You have brought here instruments of death. The weapons of the dark ones. If you are in a pact with them, you will perish here this day."
The tree next to Ray begins to move. The horses whinny in surprise and fear. Their ropes fall harmlessly to the ground and the tree transforms into a huge treant.

"Can I aid thee, Mistress?" he asks.

Monk is astonished by the wood nymph Goddess that appears in his mind.
He feels her gaze peering inside his very being and knows she speaks truth.
He snaps instantly into his meditative trance state of being. Years of training and meditation in his monastery home help him to focus. He quickly organizes his thoughts into a coherent message to the Mysterious Goddess before him.
Using an unspoken blend of memories, colors, feelings, and images, in his mind he replies to her..
My lady, we enter your realm without quarrel. It is true that the men with me have taken up the machines of the dark ones. They were captured in battle yesterday. But they are not evil; merely tools used by evil. Simply machines.
Indeed, it is a great evil we pursue.
The Sherriff Virgil and his friends believe we chase mere criminals, but my Lady Esmariah has made known to me, her humble servant, that we hunt an ancient monster. The very antithesis of life and light. We come in pursuit of the demon Zexkallith.
This monster has posessed the body of a mortal for reasons beyond my knowledge, but where he goes, death goes with him. He lays waste to all he touches.
My purpose is to bring peace and aid to all those in need, my
Lady. These men need help to cleanse their lands of the curse upon them. I seek to preserve life. We are not your enemies.
The men with me are good men, but perhaps misguided. Show us patience and mercy, Good Lady. Allow us to seek out and stop whatever evil plot is unfolding, if we can. If you will, please let us pass unharmed.
Turning to his friends, he raises his arms and holds out his palms. He calls out "The Green Lady of the Woods is with me! Do not harm her Servant! Hold your arms!"
