This dark forest was rumored to belong to a big and powerful dragon...

But now here he is making you a pot of soup as he has also prepared you delicious tea and snacks.

This was not normal but what was, was the potential of getting lost in the woods but also not waking up in this strangers house unharmed and welcomed kinda.

He calls himself Banyan

He is a retired guardian?

Words from this character-

"I didn't actually think you would have woken up. Thank goodness though, means less work for me from now on."

"Your stay wasn't really meant to last this long. I did say you could go after feeling better. However it seems you might be a lot safer at my side..."

"No, under no circumstances will I say you can touch my horns. It's far too risky."
