Chapter 59 – Zélie
“How will me coming back to Lagos solve any of that?” I ask. “As we speak,
your father calls for my head!”
“My father’s scared.” Inan shakes his head. “He’s misguided, but his fear is
justified. All the monarchy’s ever seen is the destruction maji can bring.
They’ve never experienced anything like this.” He gestures to the camp, face
alight with so much hope his smile practically glows in the darkness. “Zulaikha
created this in one moon, and there are already more diviners in Lagos than
anywhere else in Orïsha. Just imagine what we could accomplish with the
resources of the monarchy behind us.”

The main Idea from this scene is that Inan wants Zelie to go back to Lagos with him. Inan wants to face his father and tell him that he's misguided. He also wants to tell him that the maji he fought before are not the maji today. However, Zelie feels hesitated to go back because she scared of what's going to happen.
