The demon scam
You pick Merle up and run for your life, not even daring to look back. Even so, you can hear the creature snarl and pick up the chase... Merle clings to you, a scared look in her eyes, but she stays still in your arms.
Then you suddenly come to the edge of a river, and without thinking twice, you dive into it. You are a good simmer, but you still have to struggle to get across with Merle. Thank heavens she is keeping calm, at least...
You reach the opposite shore, wet and out of breath, but unharmed. As you look back, there is no sign of your pursuer, so it seems you got away. Good for you.
You allow yourself to catch your breath for a moment, while you say, mostly to yourself, "We've GOTTA get out of here soon..."
Merle blinks and looks up at you."I know how to get back, it's easy!"
You stare back at her. "Huh..!?"
Merle nods and stands up. "I'll show you." She walks over to one of the rock formations and touches it. Instantly, it starts to shimmer with the same glow you saw back in the forest. She puts her hand through it and turns to you. "See?"
You gape, totally stunned. "What the..!? YOU openened up the portal here by yourself?" Merle smiles. "Neat huh?"
You're too shocked to allow this to sink in just now, but you will make sure to talk to the village elders about this when you get back...
But instead you take your sister's hand and step through the portal, Not wanting to spend another second here.
(Congratulations, you made it out alive!)
