Just as, on the night of her first two wishes, Zoe's mind had called out for someone who could get under Jon's skin, so too tonight did her mind call out for someone who had experience with the wishing stone.
And Zoe's dreams answered.
She found herself sitting on a familiar sofa, in a familiar living room. "I'm in Athena's house? Does Athena know something about the stone? Well, she has done a lot of research into witchcraft, I guess."
But then someone who was not Athena walked into the room.
"Karyn?"
"Hey!" Karyn greeted as she joined Zoe on the sofa.
"What are you doing here?" Zoe asked. "this is Athena's house."
Karyn's body suddenly sat straight up, rigidly, her eyes staring blankly in the distance as her pupils vibrated slightly. Then she relaxed back into a more natural position.
"I see," Karyn said. "Things have changed greatly. In order for some rules to remain unbroken, others must be bent."
"What?" Zoe was very confused. "I don't understand what you're saying. Karyn? Where's Athena?"
Karyn smiled warmly. "I'm not Karyn. I am a projection generated by a wish. This is a dream."
"So you're not real?"
"No," the projection smiled again. "But when you awake, you should seek out the real Karyn DeVries. There are powers still flowing through you which will awaken knowledge recently locked away."
"Karyn DeVries!?"
The projection nodded. "Seek her out."
Then the dream world faded to black.
