"All eyes one me in the center of the ring just like a circus."
— Circus, Britney Spears




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.

































































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 green eyes looking back at her with a soft smirk on her lips. She was beautiful with pale skin and pink lips, curvy and overall beautiful.

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, the pain shooting through again that lingered on her soft skin. Nina hummed at her sarcastically and stared at the girl's leg which was under the blanket she had placed on the Shu girl.
