"I'm not sure about this, Alyia," Crystal said nervously, speaking quietly so the passers-by couldn't hear her words. "I don't know if--if I want to anymore."

Alyia waited until a group of humans walked by her, then said, "Hey, no backing out now. You've come so far, this is the last step. You want to be one of us, don't you?"

"Yes," Crystal said reluctantly. "But no one will tell me anything."

Alyia had introduced Crystal to a group of people a few months ago. That's how she'd introduced them, and it had taken Crystal a while to realise that this group worshipped one of the gods in the world. Most of the gods stayed out of sight and --mostly-- out of mind but there were a few groups that still kept to the old ways, in this case, rather fervently. Crystal had had a few misgivings but she kept that part of her quiet. It was nice having everyone there accept her; it made her feel special.

Today was supposed to be her initiation, the final step in joining the group. Crystal was nervous, and wasn't hiding it. It was a closely guarded secret, whatever the ceremony was. Only once it was done would she finally be one of them, and be told everything. Crystal didn't even know what god they were supposed to be worshipping; everyone was extremely secretive.

"Don't worry," Alyia continued. "Everyone else had to go through the same thing, even me. And I'm fine! There's nothing to worry about."

"How long will it take?" Crystal asked. They were almost at the train station.

Alyia shrugged. "Probably most of the day, but don't worry! Can you do that? For just one day?"

"I guess," she said. She failed to convince herself, although Alyia seemed to accept the answer.

They reached the station and Alyia bought the tickets. The next train was the one they were to catch and the two dragonesses boarded as soon as it pulled into the station. Crystal didn't know what stop they were to leave on, and Alyia didn't let her see the ticket. Crystal was about to ask then thought better of it, swallowing the words.

They were on the train for hours, leaving the city far behind until finally, Alyia said, "This stop."

"Here?" Crystal asked quizzically, looking at the name of the station as the train braked. "We're in the middle of nowhere."

"Just trust me," Alyia said, looking and sounding exasperated. "A friend is going to pick us up."

Sure enough, when they exited the tiny station, the train rattling off into the distance, there was someone waiting for them in the otherwise empty parking area. Crystal recognised the human at once. His name was Morris and he was also part of the group, Crystal having met him several times. She remembered him because he was apparently the only human included. All the other members were dragons and dragonesses. He was rather jovial and even now had a grin on his face, sitting behind the wheel of a large truck. "All aboard!" he hollered, slapping the side of his door. "Sorry, but this is the only thing out here that can carry two dragons."

"It's fine," Alyia said, "as long as it doesn't smell of animals like the last one!"

Crystal pulled the latch on the back, letting the doors swing open. The air that flowed out smelled musty and was laden with the scent of hay, but it was clean inside. She hopped in without difficulty, Alyia following her. She left the doors open though. "No sense locking ourselves in," she said to Crystal brightly. "We're going along country roads anyway. No one will care."

The engine roared to life and the truck pulled away, quickly leaving the tiny station and the equally tiny town behind. The roads that they travelled along were framed by trees, throwing dappled shadows over the roads. Soon the asphalt vanished, leaving gravel and, finally dirt, in its place. Morris was a good driver though, and kept the trip as smooth as he could for the two dragons in the back.

The trip gave Crystal far more time to think and the more she thought, the more her stomach twisted itself into knots. She chewed her lip, trying to figure out if she should say anything to Alyia. She knew what the other dragoness's response would be though: more reassurances. So she kept her tongue.

"Hey," Alyia said soothingly, apparently noticing her friend's discomfort. She got up and wobbled a few steps so that she was beside Crystal. "Don't feel nervous or anything. Everyone did this and everyone is fine. In a couple of hours, you'll be part of the group! You'll know everything and everyone will know you. There's nothing to worry about."

The truck took a sharp turn and Alyia peered out the doors that were swinging around. "We're almost there anyway. Just a few more minutes, Crystal."

The crunch of gravel returned, and the squeal of rusted hinges reluctantly moving. Crystal saw the wrought iron gate as they passed it, already swinging closed to block the sole opening in a high wall. The wall was soon lost to sight as the plants and trees inside were just as untamed and wild as the outside. The only difference was the gravel path that they were following.

It took only a few minutes driving after the gate for the truck to stop, the engine cutting out abruptly. Crystal was breathing fast and she tried to steady herself. Don't be silly, she told herself. You're ready for this, whatever this is. There's nothing to be scared of. It's not like Alyia would let you get hurt.

Alyia was already jumping down from the truck and Crystal following suit, looking around to see where they'd driven to. At one point, it would have been a grand building, with wide, open grounds surrounding it. Now, the forest and wilderness outside had reclaimed the grounds and the building had fallen into disrepair. It looked like someone had recently tried to fix it though. Most of the windows had new panes of glass, and the ivy and vines had been cleared away from the front. The building didn't quite look like a mansion, although it was close; it was more like a large theatre.

"Looks great doesn't it?" Alyia said from beside Crystal, making her jump. "Morris got it cheap 'cos of the condition. He's good at fixing stuff. He maintains the place for us, and is slowly repairing it to its former grandeur."

"Very, very slowly," Morris added, getting out of the truck. "Keeps me busy and it's big enough for our purposes. This way."

He led Alyia and Crystal towards the main doors. They opened soundlessly, revealing a large lobby area. Two dragons were waiting in it, talking animatedly to one another. They stopped as Crystal, Morris, and Alyia walked in. Crystal knew only one of the new dragons: the male was named Balk, although she did not know him well. The green female she had never met before.

"We have to leave you here," Alyia said.

Crystal whipped her head around to stare at her. "You--you do?" she asked nervously.

"Don't worry," Alyia repeated yet again. It was beginning to sound like a mantra. "They're just going to get you ready. Brush your fur and that sort of thing. This is the first time you'll meet everyone; you want to make a good impression."

Crystal nodded mutely. Alyia, apparently satisfied with that, left with Morris through a side door, leaving Crystal to turn towards Balk and the female. "You're a skittish one," the green observed wryly. "Come closer. Here, under the light."

Crystal, not knowing what else to do, did as she was bid, standing under the large chandelier in the centre of the room. Balk looked her over. "You take good care of yourself," he said approvingly. "We'll just brush your fur, maybe polish your horns?" He looked enquiringly at the green dragoness, who nodded her approval of the plan.

They both picked up large brushes and stood on either side of Crystal. "Stay still now," Balk said. Crystal's fur was brushed in long, smooth strokes, not an inch of her left untouched. Anxious as she was, Crystal couldn't help but relax a little under their gentle ministrations. It was a nice feeling, and one she rarely experienced. As the green kept brushing, now having reached her tail, Balk set about polishing Crystal's horns, making them gleam in the light from the chandelier.

When they were both done, they stepped back, looking at Crystal critically. "Perfect," Balk said. "You're ready now."

"Just head up the steps and go through the doors," the green said.

The calm feeling the brushing had imparted to her vanished quickly, Crystal's stomach twisting violently. Now was the time she had been waiting for for months. I can do this.

She swallowed, and went up the steps, looking back at the two other dragons. They nodded her on, smiling, before disappearing through the same door that Alyia and Morris had gone through. Now alone, Crystal stopped. She could just leave now...no, she couldn't do that. I really can't, she realised, the knots in her belly tightening. We're miles from anywhere, and I can't drive the truck.

Pushing that thought from her mind, she swallowed again, heading up the stairs and pushing through the doors before she could second-guess herself twice. The room beyond would have once been the main theatre, but all of the chairs had been removed, leaving only a wide, empty space in front of the stage. That part of the room was covered in a thick, dusty curtain. It was empty of people but there were doors all around the circumference.

Looking around apprehensively, Crystal continued forwards, towards the middle of the room until she stood in the very centre. She didn't know what else to do, so she stood still, waiting. A door opened off to one side and her head whipped around, watching nervously as a dragon, hidden by the shadows at the edge of the room, came out, standing still. "Hello?" Crystal enquired nervously.

The dragon didn't reply, but more doors opened and more dragons came in. There were many and Crystal didn't know most. Every now and then she saw one that she had met before, but the rest were strangers. They formed a wide ring around Crystal, the gaps in the circle closing as more dragons filed in. "Hello?" Crystal said again, her voice quavering a little.

Alyia took her own place in the circle, directly in front of Crystal. She stepped forwards only when every dragon formed an unbroken ring. "Crystal," she said clearly, her voice ringing through the room. "You are my proposal for admittance into our group. Now is the final test."

She nodded to someone behind Crystal before stepping back into the circle. Crystal's head turned so fast she hurt her neck, her eyes widening as she saw two large dragons standing behind her, a pile of rope in front of them. They had sneaked behind her without making a sound. The sight of them standing there broke what little remained of Crystal's courage. She looked wildly at the rope on the floor and then moved, just slower than the other dragons.

The one on the left pounced, his weight throwing her to the floor as the second grabbed one of the coils of rope. "Help!" Crystal cried out, but no one in the circle moved. She felt the soft rope wrap around her front legs, binding them tightly together. The dragon on top of her shifted, pinning her hind legs which were also quickly bound. Lastly, her front and hind legs were linked, all but immobilising the dragoness.

The dragon on top of her stood but it was already too late. Crystal thrashed on the ground but the rope was too strong to break and out of reach of her claws. She looked up to see a muzzle descending for her face, held by no other than Alyia. "Don't," Crystal pleaded, watching as the muzzle came closer.

"Ssshh," Alyia said placatingly, gently strapping the muzzle to Crystal. "You won't be hurt here, not with us." She looked up as another dragon approached. "I'll do that," she said, grabbing the box from them.

She set it down and opened it, moving her paws behind the lid so that Crystal couldn't see what she was doing. "Relax," Alyia whispered to her. She grabbed Crystal's tail, trapping it beneath her as she held up a large, point butt plug, dripping with lube. Crystal whined pleadingly, shaking her head as Alyia reached beneath her tail. Crystal only now realised that the position she was in left her sex and tailhole exposed.

The slick, blunt tip pressed against her tailhole and Crystal groaned, panting as Alyia pushed it firmly forwards. She had never had anything there before, let alone such a large plug. Small twinges of pain flashed through her as the widest part of the toy moved into her, then it was inside her, her body closing over the thin neck of the toy. Crystal whined gain; the toy was uncomfortably large, stretching her ass for the first time.

"That wasn't so bad, was it?" Alyia cooed. "This will be easier, I promise."

This time she held up a large vibrator, also dripping with lube. Again, Crystal's wordless protests were ignored as the tip was introduced to her sex. She was thankful for the lube as Alyia pushed it inside her. It felt like it filled her sex completely and, combined with the butt plug, made Crystal feel uncomfortably full.

There was a soft beep and Crystal gave a muffled yelp as a knot inflated just inside her sex, pressing against the plug in her ass and sealing the toy inside her. She groaned again, trying not to move as every slight change in position made the toys shift inside her. Just when she thought it couldn't get any worse, the vibrator switched on.

The dragoness gave a muffled cry, thrashing as her sensitive walls buzzed powerfully. The ropes didn't even creak and she gave up, panting and whining. She did her best to ignore the toys inside her, watching as Alyia moved between her and the stage. Crystal struggled to turn her body around so that she was looking in that direction and whined as the action moved the intruders inside her.

The curtain that obscured the stage was billowing slightly, as though there was something or someone behind it that had disturbed the air behind it. In almost perfect unison, the circle of dragons knelt, leaving only Alyia standing in front of the bound Crystal. The curtain fell, rippling as the air moved past it. Alyia bowed her head and Crystal froze, staring ahead in shock.

The curtain crumpled on the floor, revealing the massive black dragoness that was sprawled on the stage. She was several times the size of the largest dragon there, and had scales of the purest black, drinking in the light around her. She was on her side and her sex was visible; it was swollen and heated, a small trickle of her arousal falling to the wooden stage.

Her scent hit Crystal a moment later and she couldn't help but inhale it as deeply as she could. It was sweet and intoxicating and something about it made her feel the vibrator in her sex much more strongly. Unconsciously, she clenched down on the toys, still inhaling the dragoness's sweet scent.

When Alyia rose from her bow, Crystal snapped out of it, shaking her head. A real goddess! She thought frantically. A real one, here! There were gods through the world, but most were unconcerned with normal people, and even fewer appeared to them. She'd never imagined that this group, this cult, would ever be worshipping a real one.

The goddess looked down at the dragons in the circle, then at Crystal directly. "Rise," she said, and the circle and Alyia stood at once. Her voice was breathy and low, like she was holding back a moan whenever she opened her mouth. "I see that you have brought me a new worshipper. What is her name?"

"Crystal, Your Grace," Alyia said, keeping her head lowered respectfully. "She is my friend, and now I give her to you."

The goddess leaned forwards, her massive head moving beyond the stage and into the room. "I do love the dragonesses," she said, almost to herself. "And you have bound her! Good, good; that makes it much, much better. It makes the lusts rise higher, and the sex so much more pleasurable..." Her voice trailed off as she looked directly at Crystal. Her eyes weren't normal; they were without pupil or iris. Instead, a rainbow of colours seemed to flit across the orbs.

"You, little one," the goddess said, "have the honour of being the centre of tonight's celebrations. You have my blessing."

As she said the last word, a rush of air filled the room, like a wind was blowing outwards from the goddess. No air moved, but the sound surrounded Crystal, whistling in her ears as if it was burrowing inside her. Warmth flared beneath Crystal's fur, running through her body like snakes. She could feel the goddess's power squirming inside her before it ran down lower, right to her stuffed sex.

"Mmhhhmm!" Crystal moaned through the muzzle, squirming in her bonds as the goddess's 'blessing' ran straight into her folds. A burning warmth flared as her pussy became more sensitive and she realised what the blessing was. The magic of this goddess had put her into heat, and a strong one too. She could feel the need start to stir within her, the heat clouding her mind. The butt plug and vibrator didn't feel so violating and she clenched down on them, feeling the buzzing in her sex more strongly, even welcoming it.

Her scent became spicy and hot, wafting around the still air of the room. Before she could stop herself, Crystal rolled her hips needily, looking around at the dragons in the circle. The male scents were standing out from all of the others now, a side effect of the heat. The vibrator now seemed frustratingly little, buzzing weakly in her vent. She wanted more, she needed more!

"Let the induction of our newest acolyte...begin," the goddess said, the last word turning into a moan as she sat back, a paw dipping down to her sex as she watched.

At her words, the circle broke, the dragons crowding around Crystal. The ropes around her hind legs were cut but before she could even think of moving, a spreader bar and cuffs were attached in their place. She yelped muffledly as she was lifted bodily, the dragons on either side more than strong enough. She landed on her stomach, hind legs spread and propping her rear up. With her front legs still closely tied, Crystal's chest was still on the ground but her sex and tailhole were now easily available.

Around her, the dragons were milling but the only one that Crystal could see was Alyia. She sat right in from of Crystal, and gently lifted the furred dragoness's head so that they were eye to eye. The other dragoness smiled but didn't speak, instead pressing their muzzles together in a kiss.

As she did so, Crystal felt someone beneath her tail. A clawtip trailed across the furless skin there and she shivered. The claws slowly moved over her heat-swollen sex, onto the base of the vibrator locked inside her. A moan burst from her as the dragon behind her pulled on the toy, even though it was knotted inside her. The pressure built in her sex as the dragon pulled harder and harder until the toy left her sex with an audible pop, the sensation of the vibrator leaving her making Crystal gasp.

Crystal could feel her pussy gaping lewdly as the toy left her and she felt the emptiness inside her. The heat blessing of the goddess seemed to intensify now that there was nothing in her sex and she clenched down on the plug in her tailhole, wanting the vibrator back now. At her rump, a cacophony of voices was arguing roughly. Crystal couldn't make out the words though. Her mind was clouding from the heat; all Crystal could think of was the horrible nothing inside her.

She didn't have to endure it for long. The arguing behind her ended, apparently with a winner. Barely a few seconds after the toy pulled free, a weight fell on her hind legs. Her breath hitched as something warm and firm pressed against her sex, the tip barely pressing into her. For the briefest of moments, Crystal was torn. She couldn't decide if she wanted this stranger's cock or not. Her heat seemed to be demanding it, screaming at her to press back, to fill herself with a dragon's length, but the rest of her wanted to pull away. It lasted only a second though, before the conflict vanished, washed away.

The unknown dragon behind her pushed forwards in a single smooth thrust, and a moan bust from Crystal as she arched her back as best she could in the restraints. His cock filled her completely, its length radiating warmth as she clenched around it, feeling the pleasure shoot up her back. Alyia took advantage of her moan, kissing her again as the dragon in her vent thrust rapidly. Crystal's breathing grew heavier as the thrusts grew in power, the heat in her sex making her squirm in sensitivity.

She could feel the pulsing of the cock just before it exploded, filling her with cum and driving her into her own orgasm. The pleasure and sensations from her sex flooded her body, wiping everything else away. The room, the people, the bondage, none of it existed for Crystal at that moment. Her magically amplified climax made it seem that her vent and the length filling it were the only things in the world.

The dragoness came back to earth as the dragon left her rump, a small flood of their mixed juices falling from her as he left. Crystal was gasping wordlessly, her sex rippling as small aftershocks seemed to run through her body. She was too sensitive! Even the rubbing of her walls against each other was making her whine in need. Already, whatever relief from the false heat her climax had brought was fading.

Alyia was smiling. "You have to give as well," she said softly, reaching upwards and taking Crystal's muzzle off. "Give pleasure as you get it..." She shivered slightly, still smiling softly. She turned on the spot and raised her tail, displaying her already wet sex.

Any thought of not doing what Alyia wanted was wiped from Crystal's mind as she felt another male mount her, his cock easily entering her slick sex. With a load moan, her head dipped forwards into Alyia's sex, giving it a firm lick along its length. The other dragoness shivered again, pressing back for more. It was difficult for Crystal to concentrate on pleasing Alyia, especially with a cock beneath her tail, but there might have been magic in the air, because as the dragon inside her came, so did Alyia. She moaned, grinding against Crystal's muzzle and her sex clenched, her arousal slicking the fur on Crystal's face.

For Crystal's part, she hadn't cum from the last dragon and whined needily. Her sex felt as if it were on fire, and the emptiness inside was almost painful. Alyia turned to face her again but before she could speak, another male in the crowd pushed her front end down before mounting her. At the same time, a third dragon pressed the tip of his cock against Crystal's sex.

All around them, a full orgy was in progress, with every dragon and dragoness moaning or roaring in pleasure. No one was left out. Crystal and Alyia were face to face as their partners thrust into them powerfully but Crystal shut her eyes as her second climax rushed through her. When she opened them again, Alyia had disappeared into the throng of moving bodies around her, and there was a new dragon at her sex.

This one didn't mount her immediately, instead pulling firmly at the base of the plug in her tailhole. Crystal whined as that tugged at her, stretching her but refusing to pull free of her body. After a few moments, the plug slipped out, the dragon mounting her a second later. He thrust once into her sex, which was filled with a mixture of her own juices and the cum of the other two dragons that had used her, before pulling out again. Crystal whined once, confused, then again as the tip of the dragon's now slick cock pressed against her tailhole.

Crystal was about to turn her head to see the dragon when a blue-green male stepped over her head. His cock was already erect as well, the tip bobbing gently in front of her muzzle. Perhaps it was the goddess's work, but the smell of it, right in front of her nose, made Crystal's mouth water. She took the full length into her maw at the same moment that the dragon at her rump pushed forward firmly.

Her whines and groans were muffled by the cock in her mouth as the one at her tailhole stretched her uncomfortably wide. She'd never had anything back there before, aside from the butt plug; the feeling of a cock in her tailhole was alien and odd. It made her pussy clench in jealousy though. The slickness from her sex was enough to make the entry painless but the male still took it slow, eventually embedding his full length in her ass. The cock in her mouth began to thrust as well and Crystal gagged slightly as the tip pressed against her throat.

Under assault from both ends, Crystal lost track of time, floating into a haze of pleasure and cum. After the first male, many others used her tailhole, although her sex was still the most popular. Her muzzle was also made use of, and not just by the dragons. Many times, a dragoness ground her sex against Crystal's muzzle, her tongue flicking across their lower lips until the fur of her face was again matted down.

Somehow, when she found that she could think semi-clearly, Crystal found herself on the edge of the room. The orgy of dragons was right behind her and still in full swing, but Crystal herself, for once, didn't have a cock in her. The dragon goddess was sitting right in front of her, smiling softly. "Your last test," she said in that breathy voice. "Now it is time to please me."

The spreader bar was still locked between her hind legs, keeping them spread. The rope on her front legs loosened though, keeping them only lightly bound as the goddess lay on her side, spreading her hind legs. Her sex was still wet and puffy, trickles of arousal running down her scales. Her sex alone was massive, in line with her size.

As Crystal inhaled, the scent of the dragoness god filled her nose. This close to her, the lust magic rushed through Crystal, stronger than the other places in the room and she found herself moving forwards, nuzzling against the hot sex in front of her. She awkwardly moved forwards with the rope and spreader bar until the goddess's slit was in front of her face. This close to her sex, her smell was intoxicating. She rubbed her muzzle along the slit in front of her, her fur getting even wetter with the goddess's arousal.

A low purr emanated from the dragoness's throat as Crystal moved to her clit. The nub was large enough that Crystal could suckle on it gently, an action that made the goddess moan, her body moving into the touch. Arousal was beginning to flow from her sex onto the floor, and Crystal started to follow it to its source. She pushed her muzzle forwards, using it to spread the goddess's tunnel.

"Good, little one," the goddess crooned, her sex pulsing around Crystal's snout. "This might just be your calling in life."

The praise made Crystal feel warm and happy, although she didn't really know why. She opened her mouth slightly, spreading the goddess further. The squeezing of her sex increased and Crystal licked at her heated walls. She wasn't sure if what she was doing was working but the goddess certainly seemed to be enjoying it. Her moans increased in volume, overpowering those from the crowd of dragons. Crystal didn't turn to look but many of the dragons in the orgy were looking around at her and their goddess.

Panting with her own arousal now, Crystal withdrew her muzzle and replaced it with her tail. Her tail squirmed inside the larger dragoness until all but the base was in her sex. The goddess gasped and clenched around it, the fur getting matted and slick with her juices.

Manoeuvring herself around, a panting Crystal moved her muzzle back to the goddess's clitoris, lapping at the sensitive nub. The dragoness bucked into her touch again, her moans filling the room. If Crystal had been able to concentrate on anything other than the clit in front of her, she would have noticed that the goddess's cries were the only ones in the room now, and that the other dragons had made a semicircle around her.

The clenching around Crystal's tail grew more erratic, the goddess's sex milking it as her moans turned into a shriek. Her climax was explosive, and in more ways than one. Her sex gripped Crystal so tightly that it was uncomfortable, her juices flowing out over Crystal's fur. But her magic filled the room and every dragon in it. Crystal , right on top of her pussy and the one driving her to climax, got the strongest blast as the cumming goddess beneath her moaned. She felt it cascade through her body, making changes that she didn't fully realise and bringing a powerful orgasm with it. Every dragon in the room came together, moans and roars mingling with those of the goddess.

When it finally ended, the goddess was panting and the fur of Crystal's body was wet and matted. The spreader bar and remaining rope fell of Crystal; she was so tired they were hardly needed. She could barely stand as she was.

"Well, well," the goddess mused, looking down as Crystal with her rainbow eyes. "You certainly did well. I think I will take you as my own. It's been too long since someone has possessed the skill of pleasuring me. Welcome to my worshippers, Crystal."

###

Weeks later, Crystal was still inside the half-ruined building in the position she so often found herself in these days. Her goddess was reclining on the ground, Crystal nuzzling and licking at her sex and clit, enough to bring her to a slow orgasm every now and then. The black-scaled goddess rarely went more than a few hours without cumming, most of which were a result of Crystal's care.

Sometimes Crystal remembered that she hadn't wanted to come here, that she had another life away from gods and cults and everything else, but the thoughts never lasted particularly long. The heat beneath her own tail often rose at these times, distracting her. She seemed easily aroused now; the barest touch of a breeze across her fur was enough to make her sex burn, the urge to cum overwhelming. For some reason, masturbation barely seemed to put a dent in her desire. Only being around the goddess seemed to make the feeling go away.

The goddess liked to see Crystal cumming almost as much as she liked to cum herself. She ordered her to masturbate several times a day. Any climax in her presence was somehow more powerful, more overwhelming, and more satisfying. Even now, as she lovingly kissed the goddess's clit, Crystal tail was slowing sliding in and out of her own sex. She fancied she could feel every strand of fur as it brushed past her walls.

"You haven't disappointed," the goddess sighed as Crystal pleasured her. "And you are happy here."

It was more of a statement than a question but Crystal still took a moment to say, "Yes, Mistress." It was true, too. Crystal felt nothing but happiness, lust, and contentment as she worshipped the goddess in the best way she knew: giving pleasure. She paused again, savouring the goddess's taste as she thought on her current circumstances.

"Crystal," the goddess said gently. "Don't get distracted."

Crystal returned to her purpose.
