(A very confused) Wirt's P.O.V

I don't where i'm going, but I go

I don't where i'm going, but I go.
I don't know who I am, but I am. There is a voice.
And there is submit.

In the darkness of the wood I subconsciously reach for a lantern, oh wait. That's right i'm free of him.

Am I really?
Snapping me from my thoughts I trip onto my face, *sigh* I'm so accustomed to uneven weight I can barely walk properly.

When I turn my face up I realize something's terribly wrong,
an Adelwood.

What the hell, why is there an Adelwood here? If Adelwoods are made of souls...no.

I defeated him, he's dead.
I killed him.

Right?

Lorna's P.O.V

"Wirt, wait!"
But my words were to the air. I couldn't believe it, he left me for the second time. Auntie Whispers would know what to do, at least.

"Auntie! He's gone! I told him he can't leave and he threatened me and he wasn't himself... And, I-" My last words were unintelligible through tears. 

"Lorna, my sweet child you must realise he cares deeply for you."

"But- but he left! I need him!"

"Alright Lorna, this might shock you, but you need to know."

~ Time Skip! ~

"And why didn't he tell me any of  this?"

Auntie Whispers eyes softened as if she were addressing someones death, "Because he loves you."

To wrap my head around the new information I summarise it in my head. Fragments of The Beast reside in Wirt and it's growing inside of him, but why possess him now?

Since the Beasts only goal was self-preservation, what was he doing? He finally had a vessel.

This was going to be dangerous.
