The demon scam
You pick up Merle in your arms and run for your life, leaving the battle behind. Merle clings to you, looking scared, 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 other side unharmed and looking back there is no signs of the hyenas. Hopefully they are still busy fighting that other creature.
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!)
THE END
