Follow the harpy.

"This place is really cool!" Jelly says. "Do people ever get thrown off the edge?"

"Would you like to be?" Jika sharply replies.

"That's so cold!" come another familiar voice ahead. Near the front gates of the castle is a shorter figure learning back against the stone. Her garb is a short white dress, though with a leather belt bound around her slim waist which holds some pouches as well as a polished blue marble flute. Her leather boots are tall, almost up to her knees, and she wears a pale blue cloak around her neck. She has silver hair styled into a bob cut, and a pair of matching horns curl up from the sides of her head. Snaking out from beneath the curtain of her cloak is a silver-scaled tail. Her feline-like gaze peers forwards with a grin on her face. Trin was her name. While you don't know the details of her powers, you know she was able to call forth a giant crab from the sea for you to fight. "William said to be nice to them."

"I am being nice," she says. Her piercing gaze turns back to you for a moment before returning to her ally. "Call for the Demon King then. Let him know his guests have arrived."

"He already knows."

"Then we're to take them to the throne, I presume."

She shakes her head. "The Festhall. There are snacks and everything, but he wouldn't let me have any of them. That's why I'm waiting out here."

"Because he kicked you out?"

"He didn't kick me out! He just asked me to temporarily leave." She points at you. "Kyle and your friend. Come."

"Indeed. We shouldn't leave him waiting," Jika adds.

Trin giggles. "I saw how you reacted when I said snacks. You just wanna get in there and eat. Is that drool?"

"I do not drool!" She swings a wing out to the side. Then after a moment, she clears her throat and composes herself. "Trin is correct. We must make haste. Follow. Do not stray, or I'll put you down."

Jelly leans in close to you and whispers, "What kind of snacks do you think they have?"

"I guess we're going to find out," you reply.

"Maybe juices made from crazy flying castle fruits."

"That's not impossible."

She purses her lips and starts into your eyes for a long moment.

"Stay with me--" you start to say.

However, she begins running ahead. "Let's go already!"

Trin stumbles back--shocked. "A-Alright. Follow me."

Jika, however, seems more distressed. She runs after the slime girl shouting, "I said don't stray!"

As the last one left, you look to Storm and Ribi one more time before heading inside, though you start to hustle when you realize that you'll end up left behind otherwise.
