"There should actually be a temple around here, mistress," the skultula offered, "From how I've heard people speak of her, it sounded like she was a priestess of some sort."
A Sage! Of course. If she hadn't moved back home yet, then she might still be fulfilling her duty at the forest temple. That makes it both easy and difficult for you to find her. You know where she is likely to be, and that she probably won't be leaving there any time soon, but she is hidden within the lost woods. It isn't likely that your new minion would be capable of guiding you to the forest temple, and the locals probably wouldn't be willing either. You could always try to navigate the woods yourself, but you may never find your way out if you take the wrong way. The forest was more forgiving to the hero, as he was favored by the gods. When he got lost, the forest just guided him safely back to the village. You, on the other hand, are exactly what the forest was meant to keep out. You may never escape.
