The demon scam
You more or less have to drag Merle along as you walk. She is clearly still in an off mood, and she struggles half-heartedly, trying to get away, and even though you have no problems holding her, she isn't exactly helping things...
You turn to Naria and ask, "So... do you know of a way out of this realm or what?"
Naria frowns at your question. "A portal to the mortal world... It is not that easy, I am afraid. Not everyone has the gift to open up portals between realms."
"I assume you can't?" you ask, and she shakes her head. "No... I know only one who can, but that won't be easy."
"Please tell me," you say.
"Well..." Naria starts, "there is a town not too far away from here. The oracle there can open portals, but I don't know how on earth we are going to fool HIM... I'm pretty sure you two won't pass as demons to him."
You think that over for a moment. "But it's our only chance, right? Let's do it."
Naria smiles. "I like your attitude."
Suddenly, Naria stops and glances over her shoulder with a slight frown. "We have company..."
You turn around to see a whole pack of snarling demon-hyenas close in on you.
You bite your lip and then turn to Naria who is watching you, looking a little concerned. "They are no danger to ME..." she says, apparently implying there could be a problem for you and Merle though.
