The Guardian of the Forest towered over him, its voice stern. "Hunger is not an excuse for selfish actions. You must learn to respect the natural world and its inhabitants, or face the consequences."
Damien tried to stand up, but his legs wouldn't cooperate. He felt like he was sinking into the ground, and the forest around him was spinning faster and faster.
"What's happening to me?" he cried out, his voice slurred and distorted.
The Guardian sighed. "You have ingested a powerful hallucinogen, human. Your mind is now under the influence of the mushroom's magic, and you will experience visions and sensations beyond your wildest imagination."
As the hallucinations intensified, Damien felt like he was being transported to another world. Colours and shapes morphed and shifted around him, and he saw strange creatures and landscapes that he had never imagined before.
