Alizeh is surprised by Deen’s implication that she is a Diviner. She has never trained in magic. Yet, she also possesses certain magical traits, such as her icy, colorless blood, ability to withstand fire, and self-healing ability. As she approaches a courtyard, she can hear Jinn chanting songs of revolution, pledging their faith to her. Alizeh rushes onto the balcony, overlooking masses of Jinn. People begin to scream for her when they see her, and Alizeh is moved.

However, she also sees someone in the crowd throw a dagger at her. She catches the dagger before it hits her throat, but the enchanted weapon continues to shake in her hand and move toward her. A fight breaks out below as Jinn look for the person who threw the dagger and someone throws more daggers at Alizeh. Hazan arrives on the scene as Alizeh ducks. He screams at the others for letting her out before the crowd and quickly retrieves the enchanted gold-tipped blades, sending them to the Diviners to be rid of magic. Alizeh is escorted back into the courtyard.
