On the southeast side of Skyloft, is a woman with two brown ponytails and a white and red top named Orielle.

She mentions that a child who was playing near the graveyard has gone missing. She then asks if you think monsters might be abducting children. Tell her you do believe monsters are kidnapping children and she’ll mention that an old man has been talking about hidden monsters in the village. This man can be found at the Lumpy Pumpkin, just east of Skyloft.

Clue #2

When you enter the Lumpy Pumpkin, you’ll find a man at a table with a light brown beard and a dialog bubble over his head.

The old man’s name is Rusta and when he asks you if believe in monsters or in this case, a demon. Tell him that you do. He’ll tell you that you can encounter the demon by walking by the big tree in the cemetery at night. The old man also informs you that the monster made the gravestone nearest to the tree light up by hitting it. Afterward, it pushed the gravestone, which opened up a door to a nearby storage shed.
