“The girl is a powerful claircognizant,” Athena said, still smiling.

Again, I had to pry the girl loose from her hug. “Who are you?” I asked her in Farsi.

“My name is Fakhri Fawaz, and my brother is the one who blew up the museum in your New York City.” Her face became a mask of sorrow, and tears began rolling down her face again. “He did it for us—my sister and my mother—but only because Medea deceived him.”

Her wet eyes traveled from me to Duma and Abraxos and then around to Athena, as if asking for forgiveness. I could feel the anger rising in the pit of my stomach.

I sat her down on the edge of my coffee table and then got her some water from the kitchen. Her weepy eyes followed me the entire way. I handed her the glass, and she drank it down without stopping. At least I knew how she found me, since claircognizants seemed to know anything they wanted to know. But I couldn’t imagine how she got here and how hard that must have been—particularly if she was being pursued by Phonoi and Androktasiai. “How did she deceive your brother?” I asked her.

Her gaze vacillated between Athena and me. “Medea promised my brother, Mazeen, power and strength in return for doing this for her. She is a powerful witch. She said she needed him to do this so that she could make a statement to the corrupt nations of the world. That is what she told us all, but it was a lie. I knew she did it so she could have someone steal a cup—a magic cup that could tell her where something was. Mazeen wouldn’t listen to me though.” She started crying again.

Again, the four of us just traded looks, though Duma appeared entirely uninterested. He never cared about the details, only the point.

“How does Medea know I’m involved?” I asked.
