A history lesson
Sorry for being gone for so long, I've just had a lot to think about recently.
You see, the Forest explained the history of the game in... Very disturbing detail. I don't really understand most of it, but from what I can tell what's happening to me and Poet is merely a single portion of it called "The Power Struggle." Apparently eons before Earth was even formed the Fears were not limited in the things they were allowed to do. They abused their power and were incapable of comprehending what death was.
Which all changed when "The Executioner" arrived.
It was a greedy, power hungry entity that didn't see why he had to share with his brothers and sisters. So he stole their territory, he destroyed their subjects and he stole their strength. In an effort to finally defeat him, "The White Rabbit" and "The Duchess" attempted to send him into another reality known as the Cage. But even with their combined forces, the Executioner was too much for them.
He ripped their prison apart and nearly killed them. If it hadn't been for his arrogance, perhaps he might have succeeded.
For the destruction of the Cage inadvertently created "The Red King."
It "swallowed" the Executioner whole and almost destroyed the entire universe, until the gods managed to push it back. For the first time in their existence, the gods tasted their mortality. So they devised Power Struggle as a method to keep one another in check and to ensure that none of them would become too powerful.
I have to go now... The Forest says I have to return.

Day four of the forest
For the past four days I've been traveling through the forest, only stopping occasionally for rest and to hunting for food. Most of the animals I caught were rabbits or squirrels until yesterday, when I saw a "goat" easting the leaves off of a bush. I can't really explain why, but I suddenly became uncontrollably hungry when I saw it, even though I had eaten something moments before.
So I took out the makeshift spear I had created during my second day in the forest, and prepared to take my prize. As I approached the bush, I accidently stepped on a, alerting the "goat" of my presence. By now you've probably guessed that all those quotation marks that "goat" was fucked up somehow, so let me just come out and explain what it really was.
Its "head" was actually attacked onto it's body with stitches, and blood was dripping from the neck as if it was a recent wound. Aside from that, the rest of it looked like a naked human male who hadn't eaten in years. Despite that, it ran away at an incredible speed, and with its absence my hunger started to fade.
"Sorry about that," A voice from within the forest said. "The Wendigo doesn't have a domain of his own, so he travels throughout the Gods domains for protect."
"Who's there?!" I exclaimed as I prepared to attack. "Show yourself."
"Oh, but I already have. You see, I am this entire forest, and every single living plant within it."
The ground started to shake uncontrollably, and the trees in front of me started moving out of the way. Now that they were gone I could see two figures sitting at the dinning table I saw in my dreams months before me and Poet got involved with the Fears. I immediately recognized the Plague Doctor, but the other one was someone I had never seen.
They were dressed in a black suit and their face was covered by a gray mask that resembled a wolf. In one hand he held a cane and in the other he held a cup of tea. Judging by the encounter I had with the Plague Doctor in my dream, I pieced together that the forest was the man made of thorns and the man in the wolf mask was the hare.
"Please, take a seat Mister Memphis," The forests voice echoed. "We have much to explain."
