After all the doors and windows were locked and the blinds shut up, the group sat down in the kitchen of the inn.

"What the hell was that about?!" Joseph demanded. The others started asking the same thing.

The Narbestians sighed. This was going to be hard to explain.

Shrphr appeared from the stairs. "That was about our regular curfew." They supplied.

"Curfew?" Asra asked. Why would they curfew when the sky outside was so interesting?

Shrphr sighed. "We need to stay inside from 12 AM to 5 AM. Or else the Ceta, Qhoetie, or Ouronguak will capture us and do a lot of... Well, we don't know, but those screams can't be good." They said drinking something.

"Huh? But this place looks so peaceful?" Mila asked very confusedly. She thought about the scenery surrounding the village

"Yeah, well this place may look peaceful, but those demons sure aren't," Shrphr said.

Eden and Lucifer felt weird. Were people like them harming these nice people?

"Not like you dears." Rylie immediately said when she noticed the twins.

Shrphr brought out a book. "Take a look for yourself." They said, throwing the book on the table. Inside was pictures of the creatures:

Ceta:

Monsters from the lake. They come into town, tie anyone they find up, and drag them to the lake to feed on them. *Scared of loud noises

Qhoetie:

These monsters live in the mountains. They rely on the Ouronguak to bring them our villagers. *Scared of bright lights.

Ouronguak:

These monsters appear from the woods. They capture us and bring us to the Qhoetie. *Can be stopped by a certain symbol.

The group looked at the creatures in shock. "You have to deal with this every day?" Narrator asked.

The Narbestians and Shrphr nodded.

"Damn..." Asra said as they looked at the pictures with a grimace.

"Why are you here anyway? This isn't exactly a popular vacation spot?" Shrphr asked the group.

"We came for Sapience. The scepter." Rylie answered.

"You know damn well, that we don't have that here. Much less remember where it is." Shrphr automatically said. "Well, I'm going to hit the hay. If y'all are leaving to go find our old home then be my guest. Just do it in the morning. Plus, that's when Cassemir will be busy." They said, the last part aimed at Rylie before they headed upstairs.

The group all sat around and started planning. Once they got finished, they all laid down to get some rest.

Narrator quickly puts down the urge to tease and ask Rylie about Cassemir and just puts the twins to bed.

Rylie awoke with a start and noticed that it was past 5. She went around waking everyone up.

"Oh my- Why are you waking us up?!" Joseph asked annoyed.

"We can go now and I think I might know where to find Sapience." She answered.
