"Not really," mentioned Iris who completely understood this level of caution. "After all, you wouldn't want to invite someone in who might make it worse." she said offering a shrug. It would seem all standing humans had shown their guild marks and this was enough for the guard in the tower. Afterwards the gate began to move and the group of them would be allowed in. The chief of this group was waiting an old man wearing a partial cloak, looking like he'd seen better days.
"We were starting to think no one would actually come. We are sorry for the extra caution but it was necessary." the old man said which Iris waved off with a calm smile. "Eh, no problem. We understand, I'm Iris, that is Axel, this is Hana and the cat is Takara." she said gesturing to each person in turn. "We're here to help try and lift your curse so anything you can tell us would be helpful." mentioned the young raven haired girl.
After she spoke the old man looked at her a bit astounded. He didn't know what he'd expected, but such a diverse group of young people wasn't on the list. Still he wasn't really in a position to complain. "There are several strange happenings on the island not the least of which is this." the old man said extending a hand from beneath the cloak to reveal a demon body part there without fingers and instead clawed. Several other village members also stepped up as if to show that they were also similarly afflicted. "All of us are like this, we even become full demons under the light of the cursed moon." mentioned this old man. Such a thing was odd to Iris so she looked back at Axel, she'd never heard of moonlight being the sort of thing to cause this problem. "Your moon is cursed?"
