Since she lived in the corrupted lands, he ventured through them with caution, but alas he found the Witches hut. He walked up to the door and was about to knock, but it already opened. She invited him in but told him to keep quiet, as her son was sleeping on the couch. He told her the bad news. Although she was angry, she understood. She gave him a heart crystal, but this one was yellow. She said one of her pets down in the jungle had consumed most of them and gone mad, along with the key to the temple. She wanted him to slay it. 

The king was furious, he didn't...he wasn't meant to be someone else's pet, he wanted to become the most powerful being in the world. So instead of accepting her offer, he slit her throat with his Excalibur, pushed her into her cauldron, and left. The ground started rumbling and a horrific giant worm emerged and tried to kill the king. He thought to himself that the witch must have mutated into the worm. He ran back into the hut, grabbed the child and a sample of the concoction, and ran towards the jungle, dodging flesh-like darts as he ran farther through the woods towards the jungle.
