Talk to one of the the guards next to the door. Go up the corridor and go to the right around the corner. Open the second door from top. Open the chest at the foot of the bed to get a brown leather pouch of golden coins. Take the blue cap from the folding screen at the left side of the bed to get changed. Open your inventory to check if you have the brown pouch with golden coins and one golden coin. Exit the room by opening the door to the left.

Walk down the corridor. Go down the stairs. Open the door to the left in the entrance-hall. Walk through the opened gate. Pick up the black cloak from the path. Talk to the king and the queen near the end of the path. Exhaust all dialogs. Walk down the path to re-enter the castle. Walk through the door to the right.

Walk down the entrance-hall to go outside. Talk to the guard dog. Walk down the path. Look at the nightingale Sing Sing that sits on a branch of the tree. Look at the holes in the tree. Walk down the path. The tree next to the path will be struck by lightning blocking your way to the beach.

Walk up the left path into the village. When you enter the village the huge celebration banner will be hit by lightning too. Read the note on the door of the pawn shop. Try to enter the bookshop. It's locked too. Look at the remains of the banner on the ground. Walk to the left to enter the square. Hmmm... everything closed here also! Head back to the right.

Walk up through the village gate. Talk to Hassan the ferry captain. Exhaust all dialogs. To prove who you really are give him the golden coin. Talk to the captain once more. Give him the brown leather pouch with golden coins. Now you may enter the ferry. How??? Well... simply click with the hand sign on the ferry.

Set sail to the harbor of the Isle of the Sacred Mountain on the top left side of the map. Listen to what the fortune teller has to tell you. At the end of her story she tells you to go to the Isle of Mists. Alas... that's the end of this demo!
