"I'm gonna do bad things. Do it like it's nothing. Being bad has never felt so good."
— Bad Things, Summer Kennedy





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. Word got out very quickly.

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.
