Ready to begin a grand adventure with the old man, Armoiree is disheartened to find out that the old man's amnesia has kicked in at the worst possible moment, and the old man runs off to experience his own adventures (which were to be covered in Final Fantasy Mystic Quest 2, but alas...) [1].
Armoiree soon discovers that, despite his gravity-defying jump (Provided by Air Jordans™), he cannot leap over small trees [2]. He can, however, leap over old men to push boulders, which he does with such style that this new old man, too, feels he can trust the young Armoiree to save the world. He tells Armoiree that if he wishes to progress through the forest, he must call upon the aid of a woman named Kaeli. But, since she's a tree-hugging hippy who would otherwise refuse to chop down trees, the old man hands Armoiree a rare Tree Wither [3] to prove to Kaeli that the woods right outside of her home town are dying.
And so Armoiree continues his adventure by heading east, to Foresta. [4]
(A fun fact: The Town of Foresta was named so because after cutting down the large redwoods to create the stumps their houses are made of, the mayor stated "F' it, we'll call it Foresta.")
