The demon scam
You look towards Naria, roll your eyes and mouth the word 'please'. Naria grins and moves over to Merle. "Hi there, little one," she says softly.
Merle stops crying to stare at the demon's ears and tail.
"Don't cry," Naria says. "We'll get you out in no time."
"Speaking of which," you say, "you wouldn't know of a way to get out of here, would you?"
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."
You let Naria lead the way and soon enough you come across a town with a tall white tower in the center.
