IN THE LITTLE PALACE, the Darkling had read the letter Nina had sent regarding a female Lightning Summoner in Novokribirsk and he had immediately sent Fedyor, Ivan and a healer to retrieve the girl by going around the Fold. He had told his Heartrenders to be careful around the Fjerdan border as that was where the Drüskelle resided. He would have to go and retrieve her himself to make sure there were no Grisha hunters to hurt her. He was pleased to know that the legend of a Lightning Summoner had come true and he finally had another solution for Ravka. He was planning to meet up with the party halfway in the North where a carriage was waiting for the Summoner to make sure nothing went wrong with the few oprichniki he had here with him.

He had been waiting for the Lightning Summoner, the legendary warrior, and now all he needed was a Sun Summoner to get rid of the Fold and end wars. Of course, he had to test her first and make sure she was the Lightning Summoner, but there was no way he could go and test her to Novokribirsk without his enemies on the other side wanting a war with him. He had to trust Nina enough that the girl she mentioned was the Lightning Summoner she thought and believed to be.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧☆☼☽ϟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

From the other side of the Fold, Nadia laid on the bed Nina had tucked her in. The young girl stirred a little before opening her eyes to see light coming out of the balcony windows. Her eyes wandered around the room and saw her katana at the foot of the bed, a light breeze going in the room from the open balcony door.

“Morning.” A voice beside her suddenly spoke up and Nadia was about to jump and grab her katana until she felt a searing burning pain from her thigh. She grunted in pain and clutched the leg. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to uh scare you.”

The girl felt her heart beating a little slower. Heartrender. She looked over to see a woman with light brown curls on top of her head, pulled by pins to stay in place and light blue eyes looking back at her with a soft smirk on her lips.

She tensed up and asked, “Who are you?”

“I’m Nina. And you should say you’re welcome for saving you.” The unknown female, who introduced herself as Nina, sassed to her.

“I had it.” Nadia grunted as her hands went back to her leg. Nina hummed sarcastically and stared at her leg which was under the blanket she had placed on the Shu girl.

“You should heal in a few days. The cut on your leg wasn’t bad, wasn’t deep or anything. A healer should be here to heal that, they should be here in a few.”

“How long have I been out?” Nadia asked.

“A few days, give it or take.” Nina replied back. She seemed to be organizing her clothes in her luggage.

“Thank you. For saving me.” Nadia said to the female softly, her gratitude showing. The Heartrender merely smiled and she took the young girl by her arm, helping her up and towards the table in the room that had bread and a few fruits for her. The young girl reached hesitantly towards the strawberries on the bowl and sniffed it carefully. It looked fine to her, but she was still cautious. Despite the nice gesture of patching her wound up and helping her and saving her, the girl didn’t know Nina well enough to trust her. She had to go back to Kaz, Jesper, and Inej. She needed to bring the jewellery she stole back to buy Inej off. Her bag.

“Do you know where my bag is?” Nadia asked her saviour.

“Over there and I didn’t look.” Nina gave her a knowing glance which Nadia blinked in surprise. The Shu girl reached over and rummaged through it to see the watches, rings and valuables she had stolen still there. Her letters to Kaz, Jesper and Inej were still there.

“Do you remember what happened?” Nina asked.

“I saw a bright light like lightning and it killed him.” She frowned as she saw the flashing images of the light she saw.

“Good.” Nina smiled, she remembered. “That was you.”

Nadia looked up at her in surprise, the frown on her pale face still there. “What?”

“I’m sure someone will explain everything to you.” Nina patted the girl’s shoulder. There was a knock on the door of the room. The Grisha female walked towards it and there was whispering that Nadia couldn’t hear as she was still processing.

“Your ride is here.” Nina smiled before helping the girl get up from her chair and they walked down towards the outside to see a group of disguised soldiers with horses. “You’ll be safe with them, I promise.”

She looked towards the Heartrender in confusion. She simply smiled at the girl in reassurance to keep her there.

“Can I at least get my katana?” Nadia asked Nina, she knew she couldn’t leave without her weapons. Nina sighed and looked towards Fedyor who nodded.

“I’ll get it—”

“No, it’s fine. I’m not completely useless.” Nadia sighed and limped towards the inn and walked upstairs, not paying attention to the burning pain on her leg. She had to power through the pain. Looking around the room she was just in, she grabbed Kaz’s letter and started writing to him on the back with the pencil she had with her.

Kaz

By the time you get this letter, I’ll be gone. But I’m fine and I’m safe. Tell Jesper and Inej that too. I promise, I’ll come back. The Crows are my family. You guys mean something to me, you bought me from the White Rose and I don’t think I could ever repay you for that. But someday I will when I get back to you, Jesper, and Inej. The jewels are still here in my bag if you haven’t seen it. One word: Grisha.

Nadia

She rolled the letter back into a scroll and caught sight of the golden crow head of her dagger and she felt joy to see one of her precious weapons and grabbed it. She grabbed her silver sequin blue scarf and wrapped it around her neck. She took the thigh holster of her dagger and wrapped it around on one of the leather straps of her saya. She took her katana and put it back in its sheath and she wore it on her back, the dagger was on her left shoulder and completely hidden by the blue scarf she wore. She took off one of her fox rings and slid it on the letter that was rolled for Kaz to read. If Kaz saw one of her rings, he’ll know about her and her whereabouts and stuffed it back in her bag where hopefully her boss will find it.

She could still fight, but she knew she was outnumbered out there and she was still injured. With a Heartrender and soldiers out in the front, she couldn’t fight them off despite her skill with a dagger and her katana.

Limping down towards where the Grisha were. They were still there waiting for her. She was helped on the back of the horse where she sat uncomfortably, especially the pain on her leg getting worse. Saints, she did not want to be another Kaz Brekker with her leg.

“My name is Fedyor and that’s Ivan.” The man with brown hair smiled at her and she was still tense. His accent was thick and his smile was soft.

Another guy on horseback was frowning with a stoic face. He didn’t seem happy at all. Or was never happy. A girl on another horseback on the other side of her and Fedyor smiled at her, the unknown girl’s toothy grin was white and bright.

“That’s Sonia.” Fedyor pointed to her. She approached Nadia and the Ravkan girl seemed to tense up again. The half Suli girl smiled softly in reassurance before she looked around and waved her hands in intricate and delicate movements. She felt the cut on her leg start to stitch together, the pain now gone and her realization kicked in. They were Grisha. She was definitely not getting out of this now that she was on a horse with them.

“Hold tight.” Fedyor smiled before taking off towards the North.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧☆☼☽ϟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Back in Ketterdam, Kaz looked over at the map on his wall. His blue eyes trailing towards Novokribirsk where he knew the little fox was. He hadn’t heard from her and she usually sent letters to Inej and Jesper and occasionally to him to update him on her missions, but no letters came from the Vixen of the Barrel.

He was getting worried and it was something Kaz Brekker did not like because he wasn’t usually like that at all. And that itself was worrying. He would have to ask Jesper at some point about Nadia to see if he received letters. He had already asked Inej from one of his meetings with her about anything in Ketterdam. She responded that she hadn’t gotten anything since a few days ago. Her letters had stopped altogether and he knew she always sent letters to inform him and the Crows about anything she found. It was usually everyday, not once a week.

Now it was all gone, not a word from the Vixen. Quiet, but it didn’t mean it was peaceful. More of a warning for Kaz, an alert.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧☆☼☽ϟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

From Nadia’s journey to the North, Fedyor smiled at the girl while Ivan looked outside of the carriage they were in, looking at the Oprichniki that his General had sent with them. Both wore their signature red keftas with black embroidery, marking them as Heartrenders. When Nadia looked outside from the window of the carriage, she saw the Healer that mended her cut together wearing a red kefta with silver embroidery. “You don’t know about the legend regarding the Sun Summoner?”

“I know, but last I checked I’m not a Sun Summoner.” Nadia frowned, shifting uncomfortably from her seat. Her scarf was still secure around her neck and still hiding the dagger.

“You aren’t, but you’re something more special.” Fedyor told the girl, leaning in. “They call you the warrior. The protector.”

It had been two days since she left Nina and Novokribirsk. Two days of her complaining as to where she was going. She couldn’t send a letter to any of the Crows and she was stuck with two Heartrenders surrounded by guards, travelling around the North. It was night now and she was still stuck in the damn carriage they had gotten in a day ago after reaching the Fjerdan border.

“Stop. Incoming. Enemies.” Someone yelled outside. Her two companions with her in the carriage became alerted and Ivan got out.

Fedyor turned to the girl, “Stay here please.” He smiled and took off, closing the door behind him.

“Hell like I will.” The girl muttered and went out with her katana and dagger still close to her body. She found a group of men around her waiting for her to get closer and attack her. An ambush.

She pulled out her katana and twirled it around gracefully. One of the hunters advanced towards her and she immediately swung her katana and sliced his arm, blood now adorning her silver weapon. She kicked him and he was down on the snow. Another advanced towards the side, but she sidestepped and kicked the back of his leg causing him to fall. She caught sight of one of the hunters having a whip-like trap and began to whip it towards her, the silver wolf with red ruby eyes at the end of each rope and she swung her sharp blade up, slicing the rope in the middle. She grabbed one of the broken ropes and ran towards another man. Using the rope as a cuff, she twisted it around his hands and pulled him down, tying it around his wrists to render him useless.

She ran to another and swung her katana to block his axe. She quickly grabbed her dagger and punctured it in his thigh and kicked him to the ground. Grabbing the dagger again and throwing it to another. The fight was quick and her jumping from one enemy to another with her leg healed from a few days ago. The stark white snow around her was adorning a dark red from the blood that was spilling from her enemies. She moved swiftly and gracefully with her sword, the weapon becoming a part of her, moving like one.

But she was caught off guard when a rope had seized her from swinging again and wrapped around her figure causing her to be defenseless. She saw the same silver wolf pendant. She knew the other Heartrenders she met and the Healer were out there with the guards fighting others. She tried to reach for her dagger that was on her left side of her chest. She felt a whip catch her ankle and she was slammed down on the snow with leg being dragged towards them. She grunted and tried to plant herself down, but she knew it was useless with her weighing lighter.

Suddenly darkness took over the area and she felt the atmosphere change. She looked up to see a dark figure with shadows behind them, dressed in black. She saw shadows gathering together and a blade was created and was sent towards the Drüskelle. She turned to lay on her back and looked down to where she was supposed to drag to see the Grisha hunter already dead on the snowy floor.

She looked up when she saw a shadow of a man. The General of the Second Army.

“Are you alright?” The Darkling asked the girl who was still on the snowy ground.

Nadia panted and looked up at the General with wide eyes. The General, who had the power to summon shadows, was here. He was here to retrieve her.

FROM ACROSS THE FOLD, Nadia and the General had arrived from their trip towards the edge of the Fold where the Sun Summoner was currently in. She was hoping that Kaz or Inej or Jesper would notice her not sending any letters and would devise a plan to get her. If she had to, she would escape whatever place she would be in and find her own way back to Ketterdam.

The General, on the other hand, placed a black cape on her lap and told her to wear it before telling her that Ivan would come and retrieve her. He wanted her to be unnoticed by some, even though everyone already knew of a Lightning Summoner existing and him retrieving her.

The General had to keep the Lightning Summoner close. She was sly as a fox, quick on her feet and in a fight. He knew she’ll fit in well in the Little Palace. His priority right now was to see the Sun Summoner and make sure she truly had that power like Nadia had hers. A coincidence that both theoretical and mythical saints had emerged just days away from each other. His equals. Two people who had no power like the others, different like him. There were three now, the Starless Saint, the Sun Saint, and the Thunderous Saint. All three powerful people who will live eternally, forever.

The only problem was that the Lightning was hard to break. Hard to get through with her stubborn personality. Only struck when she needed to or when it was the time to strike down. She was good at it, good at hiding her emotions because not once did he see a glint of fear or emotions that he would usually see when people were face to face with him, just the strong stubbornness and confidence as well as bravery when he watched her fight the Drüskelle. She was quiet, he noted. Usually quiet and non-chatty to him and his guards, he expected it considering she hadn’t met him or the others before. They were completely strangers.

He didn’t know what compelled him to her, maybe it was the overwhelming emotions she managed to send him by her electricity that buzzed in her veins. She managed to catch his attention and unbeknownst to him, he had managed to do the same for her. The intrigue practically ran through his veins the minute he heard of her unusual but unique power. She was even more of a mystery than the legend of the Sun Summoner, not once did people claim to be her unlike her other half which was the sun.

He looked up to see the Healer he sent on the trip from Novokribirsk. The half Suli girl was another one of his prized Grisha soldiers. A Healer. She was much more skilled at what she could do, from healing people fast and the fact she could hide what she was doing with only placing her hands on injuries. Her skills with fighting was the last reason he placed her in the ranks as one of his personal guards.

He motioned the girl to come near him and ordered her, “Sonia, look after the Lightning Summoner for me. She’s a sly one.”

“I quite agree.” She agreed with him, she noticed the girl’s light steps and swift movements from her fights. One thing she noticed was that the girl didn’t resist from being taken. “She’s one silent but fierce lightning and quite elegant.”

“Quite the opposite of her power. Loud and thunderous.” The Darkling muttered in thought, the girl running around his mind. He turned to the Healer and commanded her, “Go.”

“Moi soverenyi.” The girl bowed to her General and left his side, going straight to another part of his tent where he knew Ivan led the summoner.

Nadia was unlike any other, especially someone from Ketterdam. Right, Ketterdam. Well, he finally had a reason why she was good at hiding emotions. He had heard of Ketterdam and what it had to serve, the island of criminals. The place that took away the innocence of a person once you enter and somehow he didn’t see it in Nadia. All he knew was what he heard and he certainly didn’t see it in her. Sure, he saw the hard exterior of the girl and he couldn’t blame her, with being surrounded by people she couldn’t trust at all, but there was something about her that he couldn’t shake. Then suddenly all his thoughts of her went away when he caught a glimpse of his tent.

As soon as he entered his tent, he got rid of his cape and placed it on his chair. Everyone stood straighter and remained silent as he stood in front of his desk with his back facing the people that were with him. No one uttered a word, too frightened and nervous to even breath loudly, in fear that he’ll consume them using his shadows. There were questions about the Lightning Summoner he brought in, somewhat much rarer than he and the Sun Summoner combined but still, no one dared to speak their thoughts out loud.

“Well? Bring me the Sun Summoner.”

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧☆☼☽ϟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Back in Ketterdam, Kaz left Dreseen with Inej and Jesper in tow. They had already dropped off Milana and left her on her own to survive with her boss at the Orchid murdered by Pekka Rollins. Jesper followed him willingly, but Inej seemed confused and furious at Kaz for making a rash decision. Inej knew Nadia would berate him for making a decision he made out of spite, but it was all he had. Spite. Anger towards Pekka Rollins. His long vengeance towards the man.

Entering the Crow Club with silence between them, Kaz went straight to his office to plan the heist as well as getting Nadia back. Inej went with him, bombarding him with questions now that they were alone and away from the prying eyes of pigeons alike.

“What was that? You want to tell me?” Inej asked, her voice sounded restrained.

Kaz took his watch out, the watch Nadia stole for him. Six hours to make a plan to get the Sun Summoner and be rewarded with a million kruge. Six hours to make a plan and get her back.

“Be more specific.” He said to the Suli girl, his voice displaying impatience as he closed the watch he held.

“It was one thing when we had at least a week to find a way across the Fold, but sunrise? We have to say no.” Inej insisted, her tone growing more stern and her stance getting rigid which was way out of her character.

“No.”

“That’s a no to saying the job then?” Inej asked in confusion. Kaz wasn’t one to back down to something valuable, especially when one of his investments was missing and was very expensive to buy. He continued flipping through papers hurriedly.

“That’s a no to saying no.” Kaz replied. And a no to not saving her. As far as they knew, they still thought Nadia was hiding in Novokribirsk and away from the prying eyes of people who would hunt her.

Inej grew more irritated, “We can’t go!”

“Can we?” Kaz fired back, looking up at her.

She brought her arm up and showed off the Menagerie mark on her wrist to him, “As much as I want to go and get Nadia back, I can’t go.”

“You will.” He told her firmly. “I had sent Nadia to Novokribirsk because of this. She insisted on buying you off.”

“What?” Inej looked at him in disbelief, but she felt wanted and like she belonged to them. Nadia went all the way across the sea to retrieve valuable belongings, expensive rare ones at that, and steal her way so Inej can leave Heleen and her brothel.

“She was tasked to steal more money or anything worth more to get you out.” Kaz told her, his regret tormenting him. He regretted letting Nadia go alone and she got herself in trouble. He expected her to get in trouble because that’s what she was drawn towards, that’s what got her to him in the first place. Trouble with Jesper, trouble with a few gang members.

Despite the warm feeling she felt and the gratitude, Inej couldn’t help the feeling that Kaz was blaming her for getting Nadia captured.

“I have a plan.”

“No, you don’t and Nadia sure as hell would agree with me.” Inej replied back.

“Well, last I checked she isn’t here is she?” Kaz snapped at her before returning his attention to the papers he was looking through.

“You don’t know how to pull off this job.” Inej pushed on, trying to get him to change his mind.

“I still have six hours and right now, you aren’t helping.” He hissed at Inej, looking back down at the paperwork he had on his desk.

“Maybe you crack how to find a way to cross the Fold, but this doesn’t solve this problem, does it?” Inej shoved her arm in his view out of aggravation.

“If I can’t crack this, none of us are going anywhere and Nadia will be stuck with the Grisha all her life.” He glowered at her. He knew of Nadia’s fear of being trapped and chained because despite her working for him, he gave her enough freedom and didn’t make her feel the suffocation of being trapped. She didn’t know when to resist and when to comply, that was the problem he needed her to learn.

“And if you do?” She fired back.

“Then maybe you stay here!” Kaz exploded out of irritation, tired of her questions and slammed the papers he was holding down on the desk angrily.

“Maybe I won’t be here when you get back.” Inej said to him. Although there was guilt in her stomach at the thought of leaving her katana wielding companion in the hands of Grisha and Generals, she knew she couldn’t leave with Heleen around. She turned around and left his office, heading towards his office doors quietly and left there. She knew he’ll think that she’ll leave through the windows. Going down the Club, she went straight to where Jesper was drinking.

“Inej.” Kaz called out to her, limping towards the open area of his office where Nadia would usually sit and read. Only to find an open window, letting in cold but misty air from the rain. He looked over at the table in front of the couch that Nadia usually occupied, the blue lily flower on the coffee table was wilting. The Fox would leave lily flowers on his desk or coffee table to signal him that she came by and she had a report when he wasn’t in his office. By the time he would find one lying around, he would approach her on his own and now, there was nothing but a dying flower.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧☆☼☽ϟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

In the Second Army Camp, Nadia stood in one part of the General’s tent where he left her while he was to retrieve the Sun Summoner. She now sat at the velvet black cushion of his couch, waiting for him to return. She knew she couldn’t escape with the camp crawling with Grisha and soldiers, especially when she had no idea how to go through or around the Fold without being killed. She was trapped and she felt her throat close in.

Nadia looked up to see the same Healer who healed her leg from the long cut on her thigh. She tensed up, “What are you doing here?”

“He asked for me to come and look after you.” Sonia stood beside the flap of the tent and watched the Lightning Summoner shift uneasily.

“I don’t need a babysitter.” Nadia retorted back to her, annoyed that he would send someone to look after her when she just needed a few moments by herself.

“I don’t agree with that considering how you slipped past and injured 8 Drüskelle hunters and put them down on the ground in a matter of minutes. You’re quite tricky and agile.” The Healer approached the girl and sat down across from her.

“Well, this must be stressful for you.” Sonia tried to get the Lightning Summoner talking, tried to make her comfortable.

Nadia stayed quiet, wanting to be left alone after being whisked far away from her home by the Darkling.

Trust only yourself, Vixen. That’ll make you survive. It is your servant, it can be bent and broken to your will.

She could hear him clearly, clear as the crystal blue water of the True Sea. Trust only yourself, Nadia. She thought as the same raspy voice of Kaz Brekker popped in again.

You are the Vixen of the Barrel, remember that. People fear you, you inflict fear so others won’t come for you.

There was a reason why Kaz gave her the name Vixen, besides her qualities of a fox, she had dreams of a fox that was slightly bigger than others. The bright red orange coat shimmering against the sunlight with light paws that sneaked about the forest.

Sonia, on the other hand, watched the half Shu girl ponder in thought. She knew she must be confused and scared, especially after being abruptly taken by the Darkling and his personal Grisha and guards. She knew what it was like being taken away against their will. She knew firsthand of that when they took her to Little Palace and she was lucky to be taken there rather than start at an army camp. The luxurious she was exposed to and the hot stones that warmed her bed at night and the fine clothes she was provided.

Nadia thought of the opposite, she wasn’t scared. Confused maybe, but never scared. She didn’t show fear to anyone or anything. Although it bubbled inside of her and she chose not to let it out of her cage. The wall she put up to protect herself. She had built this wall to be unpredictable and learnt a few things in the streets. She was considered a street rat to all before her life of crime started, but somehow Kaz gave her a power that she never thought she could have when he offered her a place among the Dregs.

“What’s your name?” Sonia asked the Lightning Summoner and this caused Nadia to look over at her with a glare. The half Suli girl was fully aware of the distrust that Nadia’s eyes held. “There’s no point in hiding it anymore.”

Nadia sighed in defeat, knowing she couldn’t go back to Ketterdam because she was surrounded by soldiers of the First and Second Army. With everything going on, resistance was not the answer to everything. Tricks were something she’s good at, and she was willing to show them and play along while she planned her escape. “Nadia. Lisitsa.”

The voice popped up again. Make them think you’re a fragile girl with no home and nothing else to go back to.

“It’s a beautiful name, Miss Lisitsa.” A deep velvety voice interrupted the conversation of the two girls and revealed the dark black kefta of the Grisha General. His eyes on Nadia. “But I’m afraid that it’s time to go.”

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧☆☼☽ϟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Meanwhile, Kaz had just dealt with Pekka Rollins and his men. Being beaten up and threatened after Inej fled. He had to find a way to cross the Fold fast if he wanted to get the million kruge and the Vixen back. He limped towards Jesper, who sat at one of the bar stools and tried to get a drink.

Jesper sighed in exasperation when Kaz’s hand found its way towards his shot, but he saw his boss’ enraged expression and his bruised face with his messy dark hair. He was still shaking in rage and Jesper decided to ask, “You all right, boss?

Kaz sighed and slammed the shot glass down. He grunted out his response, deciding to tell Jesper what happened. “No. I’ve been warned off the job.”

“By who?” The sharpshooter questioned.

“Who do you think?” Kaz let him guess. He knew his Crows were confused between his rage towards Pekka Rollins, but they always knew he had a hatred towards him. He pulled out his pocket watch to check the time.

“Did he remember you?” Jesper asked, suddenly alarmed and concerned.

“If he had, I’d be dead.” Kaz grunted out, putting the pocket watch away. “Sunrise is in five hours.”

“Yeah, but we’re off the job now, right?”

“Never make decisions out of fear, Jesper. Only out of spite.” Kaz limped forward and only stopped a few meters away from the Zemini boy. Jesper hummed, Nadia was right. He did things out of spite. The anger, vengeance, or anything he came across to, all decisions were made out of spite.

“Well, greed always worked for me.” Jesper shrugged, watching his boss peer down at his Club. The Zemini boy was waiting for a sarcastic response, but it never came. Right, Nadia was still out there and missing.

Kaz remained silent after that, analyzing his club and the exciting cheers of his clients and regulars. He tried not to wince at the pain from the bruise of his cheek, ignoring the burning pain. He tilted his head to Jesper once more, “Go guard the door.”

Jesper didn’t object, but he was annoyed. Instead of whining about it, he obeyed his boss as he didn’t want to anger him more than he already was and left his side. Leaving Kaz all by himself near the bar counters. He examined the club once more, seeing nothing out of the ordinary until he caught a woman counting money. She was counting differently than the people here in Kerch. Ravka. He finally had something to get him and his Crows across the Fold and retrieve the Sun and Lightning Summoner.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧☆☼☽ϟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Back with Nadia, the General led her to another part of his tent. Entering the tent, she saw a girl who was also Shu with dark brown eyes and black messy hair. She looked disheveled and confused, dirt adorned her face and clothes. She looked out of

“Miss Lisitsa, I want you to meet Alina Starkov. The Sun Summoner.” The Darkling introduced them to each other and both girls examined each other. “Miss Starkov, meet Nadia Lisitsa. The Lightning Summoner.”

Nadia thought that Alina was very pretty despite the dirt stains on her, she had long lashes, thin lips and hooded brown eyes. Her thin waist and her black hair that fell just the middle of her back. Although she was pretty, Nadia thought that she looked sickly and almost exactly like her. The prominent dark bags under her eyes and her pale skin as well as the loss of color on her cheeks. She was quite short, almost as short as herself but Nadia was taller by an inch and standing beside the Darkling didn’t do her any better as they looked tiny compared to him.

Alina, on the other hand, examined the alleged Lightning Summoner, who was behind the Darkling. When the girl stepped up and she fully saw her face and body, she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy as she examined the girl. With the same hooded eyes that were brown, wide and doe eyed that gave her a touch of innocence, the pale pink lips, the curly brown hair, the thin nose and the round cheeks. But just like her, she looked sickly with the drained color on her cheeks, pale lips, bags under her eyes. But what caught her eye was the handle of a sword on her back and she suddenly felt guarded at the sight of the weapon.

“I’ll leave you two acquainted while I speak to Ivan.” He told them in a hurry before strutting out of his tent and leaving the two by themselves.

“You too?” Nadia turned her to Alina, who looked over at her.

“Yeah.” Before they could even exchange another word, two guards entered the tent unexpectedly and looked towards the two girls who stood across from each other.

“Time to go.” The two guards grabbed their elbows roughly and dragged them out of the tent and this caused Nadia to protest loudly with Alina. The two girls were shoved towards the General’s black carriage. Ivan was already standing beside the doors of the carriage and Nadia caught a glimpse of Fedyor taking his place behind her.

“You heard me. Let’s go. Get in.” Ivan demanded the Sun Summoner and looked over to the Lightning one who seemed exhausted from the journey she had.

“No! There’s been a mistake. I need to find Mal.” Alina continued as two guards prevented her and Nadia from escaping.

“The general does not make mistakes. His orders were to get you to Little Palace immediately. Now get in the coach.” Ivan let go of the door of the carriage and walked towards Alina in a threatening stance. Nadia stiffened unintentionally and her hand twitched.

“Everyone makes mistakes. Look at me. Do I look important to you?” Alina snapped at him, exhausted after entering the Fold and being dragged to face the Black General. Nadia couldn’t help but feel the same as her. Both were taken away by their will and now they were being forced to get in the carriage, the very same carriage she and the General shared while travelling together.

“You look like trouble.” He looked over to Nadia, his eyes flickered towards her katana that still rested on her back. “And I sure know the other one is the definition of trouble. Which are nearly the same. Move.”

“Wait. Malyen Oretsev. He’s in the medic tent. I need to speak to him. I’m going to speak to him.” Alina pleaded with him. Nadia stood awkwardly behind her with Fedyor, both of them watching the scene in front of them. She didn’t know what to do or what to say at that moment so she just stood there quietly.

“Listen to me. Every spy in the area will hear what you did and our enemies will come for you. They heard about the Lightning Summoner as well while we were near the Fjerdan border.” Ivan told the Sun Summoner, walked towards them with an intimidating stride, but it didn’t phase Nadia as she had learned to control her eoptions. “Our only chance is to get you and the Lightning Summoner to Os Alta, behind palace walls, before you get killed. Come on.”

Alina hesitated before willingly climbing in the carriage and sat down.

“And you. Please no more.” Ivan pointed to her and she smirked a little, knowing it was never going to happen anyway. “In you go.”

Nadia huffed, upset that she would have to ride another ling journey in the stupid coach. She got in anyway and sat beside the Sun Summoner with Ivan and Fedyor following, sitting across from her.

“Alina!” The Sun Summoner heard a familiar voice and this caused her to perk and look behind her to see her friend shouting for her.

“No, wait! I didn’t know!” The two childhood friends called out to each other with Alina banging on the glass window behind them and Nadia couldn’t help but feel sympathy for the girl. She clearly had a life outside her job as a cartographer and now she was a Sum Summoner who was leaving her injure best friend by himself. And Nadia thought the trip couldn’t be any worse than she thought.

I Found Series

The Sun rises in the East and it sets in the West, while the Lightning draws darkness in and gets ready to cover the land with storm.

Nadia Lisitsa was a force to be reckon with. The Vixen of the Barrel they call her. The one who terrorizes the streets of Ketterdam, but she was unlike some people in those streets. Another one of Kaz Brekker’s investments. Kaz gives her the name Vixen as well as the Fox. Her agility and sly nature gained her name, the wily fox of Ketterdam.

When she gets discovered by a certain Heartrender and unlocks something inside of her, she must learn control and remember what Kaz always said to her. Trust only yourself, for the liars may control the innocent who give their trust to them. She has to learn to trust herself first before others, for when she trusts herself she shall know her way and how to live.

With the Darkling guiding her and making her feel at home in the Little Palace, should she trust those who know more about her powers? For she and another girl named Alina Starkov were the hope of Ravka, she was the protector of the sun. She must learn resistance as well, to resist one’s motives and survive.

She must step up, for she was one of the hopes of Ravka. For she was the lightning of Ketterdam.
