Gapon proceeded to elaborate, "The animosity towards Binash had been escalating within me, compelling me to consume humans who traversed the jungle. I bear the responsibility for instilling fear amongst the local populace. However, our paths crossed several hundred years ago. At that time, Binash possessed superior magical abilities and prevailed over me in battle. Consequently, I fled for my life and sought refuge within this well. I filled this well with sweets to lure people near it, thereby feeding on them. I possessed the ability to discern Binash's whereabouts at all times. Binash had captivated the entire jungle under his spell and was also devouring humans who traversed the jungle, posing a formidable challenge to me. Nonetheless, he concealed himself from the public and remained secluded within a magical land at the edge of the jungle. Defeating him and the land he inhabits can only be achieved through the use of magic. While I possessed sufficient power, I lacked a worthy ally to assist me in conquering him. Now that I have you, Sant, I believe you have the potential to defeat Binash. I can bestow upon you all the powers I have acquired throughout my existence. Furthermore, I can transfer my essence to you. In this way, I would become your energy, alleviating me from the burden of carrying this monstrous body. However, you must ensure that you do not misuse these powers. They will dissipate if you employ them inappropriately.”
