- Gemma lands with a thud on the ground, which happens to be made of crystal. Apparently the City of Crystal is pretty literally named.
- She looks around to see that she's standing in a crystal cave that's sparkling and super pretty; she hears a whoosh and then Alex drops down next to her.
- Then Nicholas appears and says that Gemma will have to stay until she's trained. He starts trying to flirt with her, but she says that she'd rather go back with Alex as soon as she can.
- Nicholas gets all cranky and leads them down a path to a set of silver doors. The handles are twisted in the shape of a circle that wraps around an S—basically they're the same symbols as Nicholas's tattoo.
- He tells them to wait here while he goes inside. Gemma is nosy and wants to see what's on the other side, but the door snaps shut too quickly for her to see anything.
- Alex tells her that when they get in there, he's going to do most of the talking. It's going to be hard for them to let Gemma go because according to law, she belongs with the Foreseers.
- He also warns her that the Foreseers don't know that she's the one with the star's power inside of her and that this needs to stay a secret.
- They're starting to feel some of that electric tension between them again when Nicholas interrupts to say that they can go in.
- Gemma walks through the doors and gasps—this place is absolutely gorgeous. They go up a path until they arrive at a silver throne where a short man with elf shoes and dark brown hair is standing.
- Alex mentions to Gemma that she should be careful around Nicholas since he's part faerie.
- Then a man appears from behind the throne. He's old and has grey hair and silver robes, and he introduces himself as Dyvinius, leader of the Foreseers. Then he says that as Foreseers, they use the power of the Divination Crystal to see visions of either the past or the future. And once a vision is read, it becomes permanent; you can't change it.
- Of course Gemma recognizes what this means: The vision about the world ending because of the Death Walkers is totally going to come true. After all, didn't this guy just say that?
- Alex steps in and says that Gemma has to stay with the Keepers. When Dyvinius asks why, Alex won't tell him, which obviously displeases the old man. He says that if Gemma doesn't stay here, she could end up either altering the future or getting trapped inside a vision.
- Instead of getting upset, Alex continues to calmly reason with Dyvinius, who finally says that they should make a promise that she'll never use a crystal ball again until she's properly trained, and that after all this is over, she'll come back to the Foreseers.
- Alex says that this can be arranged, and then Dyvinius tells them that Gemma just needs to do one more thing until she can return to the Keepers: He needs her to go into a vision and correct it. Apparently, when she was in her last vision, all of the peoples' faces were blurry and that's unacceptable. Every vision must be seen clearly.
- So now she has to go back in and concentrate on doing it correctly so that the vision becomes clear; she has to be able to see the faces.
- He holds out the crystal ball to her and tells her to put her hand on it. Then he has Nicholas take her hand so that he can help her with the vision.
- She closes her eyes, and once again, Gemma is sucked into a whole other place.
