Preface:
Before I begin describing my painful memories, please be aware that all the stories in this book are the real events that actually happened to me.
Don't go to the Black Swamp just to see the events described in the book for yourself.
Before I came to the Black Swamp, I had heard about the North Wisewood threatening the area. But I didn't know how bad the situation was until I reached the Northwind Peak Fort and met Captain Damian.
According to Damian, these Wisewoods are now controlled by a kind of worm called Brain-Infesting Maggot. This reminds me of the Disgusting Worms I saw when I was helping a botanist gathering herbs in the Sprites' Forest.
*Once quest is complete, read this book to report back
After being briefed by Damian, I went to Decay Swamp in the north by myself to find a way to help the controlled treants.
Within a half hour, I was surrounded by a dozen treants. These creatures acted a good deal like zombies; they groaned and grunted, clearly not in control of their bodies.
One of the treants tied me up and hanged me in the air. A particularly ugly maggot crawled out of his eye socket and prepared to bore its way into my brain.
