She blinked, then rubbed the back of her neck, grinning sheepishly.
"Oh, sorry 'bout that," she said, "But, hey, that's even more proof I wasn't in my right mind, or you'd be dead."

Harry rolled his eyes.

"What?" Krystal shrugged with a smirk, "I've killed greater warriors than you, trust me."
She began to go around the clearing, picking up her scattered daggers and sheathing them.
"It was strange," she said, walking back towards them, "I knew I was under the control of the poison, but I couldn't seem to gather my thoughts. It was rather disconcerting."

Harry was silent. He could leave now, they didn't need him. He slowly turned and started to walk away.

"Harry? Where are you going?" Krystal asked, catching up with him.

"I'm off. You're healed, so my assistance is no longer needed. I need to go… Figure our where the heck that hound came from." he said, smiling at Krystal. "Unless you do actually need me?"

"Look, I have a feeling this is bigger than we think," she said, "so we're going to need all the help we can get."
She gestured back toward the clearing, "Stay, we'll need your help. Plus, I think that shifter may be involved in this."

Mozos looked at her confused," Who is the shifter?"

"That hound we were chasing earlier," she explained, "the one that turned into a monster."

Harry nodded. "Fine. But, before we do anything at all battle wise, we need to figure out exactly who that old woman was."

Oh, Mozos thoughtto himself." Ok. Thanks for explaining."

"Krystal, you said you have never met any old woman in these woods?" he asked, crossing his arms.

"No, and I've lived here a long time and explored thoroughly," she replied, then her eyes widened "Wait, Harry, have you ever seen that hound and the old women at the same time?"

"Well yes, when I met her she had it, but then it ran off and she asked me to find it."

"I think something is very wrong with that, but I can't quiet think why."

"Well," Krystal said, going to sit under one of the large trees, "I thought the woman and the hound might have been one and the same, but that's not possible if you saw them together."

"Maybe they were both shifters?" Harry suggested.

Krystal cursed, "That's possible, and it's not good. A single shifter is one thing, more than one on this side of the border is another. Harry, would you mind using the pool so I can see what the old woman looks like?"

"Sure thing." Harry said, and he walked over to the pool.

she handed him a dagger, "Just a small prick, like Scarlet."

Harry nodded, and pricked his finger. Slowly, he let the blood drop into the pool.

"Show us the old woman," Krystal intoned.

The surface of the pool shimmered and the image changed…

/An older woman approached Harry along the path, a dog at her side. They stop and talk for a moment, just pleasant conversation. Then, her dog sticks its nose in the air and runs straight toward the town.
The woman becomes distressed and attempts to follow her dog at a slow pace. After offering to get the dog for her and meet her back at the edge of woods when he got it, Harry chased after the dog.
As he ran away, the woman reached up her hand to wave at him. On one of her fingers was a twisted silver ring./

the vision ended and the pool stilled.

"That's who I nicked the ring off of," Scarlet murmured in surprise.

Harry turned to her. "Seriously?"
