It was awhile later when the old lady from before approached one of the huntsmen at the market place.

“You, sir! You look like you need to know something!” the old lady exclaimed, taking hold of his hand.

“Do I? And who are you that you know answers to questions I have yet to ask?” the huntsman asked.

“I have a special skill! I can see a certain look in your eyes! Someone you know has met with a terrible fate, have they not?!” the old lady asked.

“Actually, you’re right... A few of my friends have died recently,” the huntsman said.

“Beware! The murderer still lives! I can sense it!” the old lady exclaims, “Come with me, young man, quickly!”

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Unsure of what to make of this, the huntsman decides to play along and follows the old woman to a dark alleyway between buildings around the market place.

“Look, here!” the old woman said and held up a pocket mirror.

“It’s a mirror,” the huntsman stated.

“Look into it,” the old lady said.

The huntsman gazed into the mirror and the mirror showed him a vision of a dark aura amongst the trees surrounded by the seven woodsmen.

“What is that darkness...?” the huntsman asked.

“That is the murderer! Her true form cannot appear in the mirror, but the darkness within is evident!” the old lady said, “To kill her for real, you’ll need a wooden stake!”

“And how can I kill her before she kills me?” the huntsman asks, “She’ll recognize us from our last attempt to murder her.”

“Bring the other two huntsmen to me. I will enchant you all with a transformative spell to disguise you!” the old lady said.

“Alright, here, take some money,” the huntsman said before setting a large bag of colorful pebbles before the woman.

“Thank you, kind sir! This world needs more people like you!” the old woman said.
