The demon scam
You have no clue how much time has passed before you come to your senses again. As you try to move, you feel that your body still hurts all over and you sit up with a wince of pain.
Looking about, you find yourself in strange surroundings. As far as you can see, there are blueish rock formations, twisted and ragged in a rather eery manner, looming over you infront of a background made up from a threatening red sky.
What's even worse, you realize what this place is - it must be the demon realm you've heard the elders in your village warn you about so many times. Sometimes, portals between the demon realm and the human world open up, and the tree must have served like one of those. Damn Merle's curiousity...
You bite your lip, knowing that it is forbidden for mortals to be in this realm, and you are glad you have your dagger with you, but you need to find Merle and get out of here fast.
(Please remember the number 3, as it will affect the story later on.)
