At least they had a new clue now so everyone went off to look for the name in books, the internet and the SpiriTab. Yet, this didn’t bring them any more information or helpful tips. They made a list of what they knew about this person, her plan, the name and her appearance. Also, the group was wondering about her motives. In the media, such people usually had had a bad childhood and that would (more or less) explain why they were capable of doing something terrible. Of course these were never reasons to justify any cruelties but especially in films people sometimes started feeling pity for the villains (who usually were just as good-looking).
The suggestion of teaming up with the Black Raven came back up. “Even if we considered doing this, how would we find them just now? We wouldn’t have a way to contact them.” Jenna and Bunny Clemens looked at each other. “We would”, the werewolf-girl then said. Stella was confused. “We have to be really sure about this though, we should have a tactic prepared on how to solve our problem with them”, Stella added.
After discussing about this topic for some time, the whole group went outside with a serious look on their faces. Clemens sat next to Crumble on the grass and everyone was watching Jenna. She collected her thoughts for a while, then stepped forward and howled into the sky. They waited and nothing seemed to happen. After some long seconds, they heard an answer which almost sounded like an echo. But they knew it wasn’t.

Back home Crumble told the others what his acquaintance had said. There was a heated discussion and as a first reaction nobody wanted to have anything to do with the Black Raven. Bunny Clemens even squeaked from upset. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to find any other solution either and there was a grim atmosphere in the room.
They couldn’t reach the Library of Magic and while Crumble had been away, Stella had talked to Mira but she didn’t find anything about this person. It seemed that they were the only people to have made the acquaintance of this woman and that felt rather uneasy.
“I know her name”, Crumble suddenly proclaimed. Everyone was curious and the cat continued, “in her bag there were some documents as well and I believe that the addressed person should be her. It’s Amanda Bernars.”
Now this didn’t sound like the name of a super evil person or typical villain. Somehow Stella was disappointed.

“If there actually IS someone who knows about this woman, it’s THEM. There’s this group of people who are all about magic and things. They would never allow anything like this to happen and if someone could help you out, it would definitely be them”, the crystal said. Crumble listened attentively. There might be help on the way! “What’s the group’s name?”, he asked.
“The Black Raven.”
Oh, damn. Of course, the duck couldn’t know what problems they had had with these people, and Crumble didn’t intend to tell him all of his adventures right now. He still had to be careful, even if the crystal would be of help later on it was surely on the side of the dwarves and the cat wasn’t sure which general side THEY were on.
He thanked him for the tip and they continued to talk a bit but couldn’t find any other idea.
On his way back home, Crumble was thinking about what the duck had said. Maybe… just maybe this even WAS a solution? Clemens had told him about these people but there was also a difference between them. Some had been rather aggressive and others didn’t like violence at all. It was a group with many different faces.
So this actually could be the right way…?
