Chapter Sixteen<br />
Raccoons and Owl<br />
<strong>Back</strong> at the cave, the Raven is sitting on a rock by the<br />
pool looking into the water. Slowly a reflection appears<br />
changing into a vision of Dimitri Talbot.<br />
The reflection speaks as Carl Drinkwater enters. "We<br />
must get the Crest back from Katipo."<br />
"She sometimes pretends to be Missus <strong>Qi</strong>. I've seen her<br />
snooping around in the barn and changing into that ...<br />
that ... Spider Person."<br />
"Spider? You saw her change to a spider?"<br />
"Well, not a real spider. She has a spider pitcher on her,"<br />
he points to his chest, "ya know? And she's pretty ... like<br />
a ... a ... angel sort of ... the way she flies off."<br />
"Do you know where she is now?"<br />
"She sometimes sits under the safe tree."<br />
The reflection of Dimitri dissipates and the Raven flies<br />
out of the cave. He sees Nigel and Gray Wolf and their<br />
band of outlaws in the distance. Knowing they will do anything<br />
to get the crest, he morphs into a Great Horned Owl<br />
and flies to the Sacred Chinese Cedar Tree to spy on them<br />
without being suspected.<br />
Katipo, wearing her Latrodectus outfit is sitting under<br />
the Sugi Tree in meditation. Her Chota Invisibility Cloak is<br />
covering her legs and one shoulder.
