How It All Goes Down
A Jump Through the Hourglass
- Sadie, despite seeing Zia ignite her staff with magical fire, remains skeptical, especially as Serqet gets closer to them.
- The closer Serqet gets, the scarier she looks: her skin glistens like an insect shell and she has mandibles (a bug jaw) in addition to human teeth.
- Serqet demands to take the younglings, but Zia tells her to leave or be destroyed.
- Serqet and Zia begin to magically duel, and Zia uses a handful of ribbons to bind Serqet. For some reason, Sadie knows that the ribbons will not work. Indeed, Serqet re-forms as a giant, freaky, smoky scorpion.
- Meanwhile, the gate opens, and Carter and Sadie wait for Zia before dashing through the gate.
