After a long time spent on thinking, I decided that I just absolutely loved being a skunkgirl. My friends, and most importantly, John, shared my beliefs, and living a careless life in such a peaceful place seemed like a great idea for them. So, we all headed to the entrance to the forest. We went through the Proteus Cave, and soon we were our animal-selves again.
"Wow! I can't get enough of this feeling, when I'm part skunk again. It feels so magical, and powerful." I said.
"We've got to explore this entire forest, help those who are lost and actually want to come back, and discover the deepest secrets of this place." John told us.
We then settled in our houses from before. We spent days on having fun together, gaining food, and improving our lifestyle, for example by enlarging our houses. As skunks and an aligator, we were able to deal with any threat that stood on our way. A great thing that John noticed is that it seems like we don't gradually lose our memories anymore. Every weekend, we went to visit our lovely parents, so that they could see us and not worry about what are we going through. It was a careless, and peaceful life.

After a few weeks, we decided that it is time to go explore some parts of the forest we haven't been to. We could go through these bright, open plains, deep into the woods, or by the river.
