There are 5 panels.

PANEL 1: “The town returned to normal, but on the outskirts of the forest, an immense cloud of moths turned into man. Man with eight black eyes without lids, a snub nose and long fangs. Man without pupil and from whose elbows came three arms. Man with claws instead of nails, as wide as daggers. Man who spoke to the forest”. In the picture, the gathering of black moths finally materializes into the man described, who states, observing his three arms: “Seems like he is not following me. Too bad, seems like I lost the bet”.

PANEL 2: “The forest wind whistled. The tree branches rustled in a language long lost to humans”. In the picture, the tall tree branches move subtly.

PANEL 3: The man continues: “This time they decided not to abandon you, so it IS only fair that you protect them from me. They have earned it”. In the picture, he stands elegantly in the middle of the forest, slightly extending his numerous arms, some toward the trees and others toward the ground.

PANEL 4: He wonders: “But the day will come when men will leave your borders. When they do, will they still be worthy of your care?”. The sharp fangs in his mouth are almost as remarkable as his flat, hollow nose.

PANEL 5: “The forest remained silent at the question, its branches still and the wind calm”. The man, who stands gracefully spreading his three arms like fans, replies, “So I thought”.
