The shrine smelled of incense and dust. Candles flickered against cracked stone walls as a cloaked woman studied the couple before her."You Americans don't believe in these things," the seer said, her voice low, filled with mockery. "So why come to my shrine?"The woman's hand pressed against her swollen belly, her eyes filled with fear. "We came to Egypt for research. But the child in my womb… she's unstable. I can feel her slipping away. I don't want to lose her."The husband gripped his wife's shoulder. "They said you could help."The seer tilted her head, ancient eyes glinting.
