A couple of questions - Need help please

After you open the portal, you can come and go to Demonis anytime. I ran down early to grab some stones as soon as I opened it in the game I'm playing now.

You can go to Riftland after you enter the mines.

The most powerful wizard in Ariana is who you think it is and the conversation topic about the bear will become available at some point in the game but I don't know what the trigger is.
