The demon scam
After walking for a little while, Merle looks up at you and says, "You know, it IS easy to get out of here is you really want to..."
You blink at her, thinking her imagination is running wild again. "Hmm?" You glance at Naria, who shrugs.
Merle nods. "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...
Naria looks rather surprised herself and she eyes Merle with new respect.
You turn to the cat demon. "I guess this is farewell. We really need to head back..." The cat-demon smiles at you. "I know. I'll kind of miss you though, Lint."
You hesitate for a second, but then reach out to give her a hug. "Thank you for everything." She ruffles your hair. "Don't be stupid, cutie. It was nothing."
You break up the hug and gives a last, somewhat sad smile, before you take Merle's hand and step through the portal. The last thing you see of the demon realm, is Naria's feline grin and waving hand, and then you slip away to your own realm...
But, knowing Merle has this gift, you won't be able to keep out of the demon realm for good, will you? =)
