Secret PenPal within the little Palace

The first gift

Amira's pov: 

I didn't know what he was going to say and I guess that was going to be what to expect. Not knowing as I was sitting with my friends. We were preparing for the fete deciding our routines. Since I was not out I was with the Tidemakers. We were enjoying our time with Fedyor brought the letter to me. I looked up at him as I knew who it was from but I accepted it as I opened it. 

A,

I went for a walk last night to clear my mind after all the things we've shared in the past two letters. After you told about using your light at night, I wondered if I could see it for myself and walked outside the windows of the Tidemakers where I noticed a slight glow from your room. Seeing that you can do that but not so bright is still amazing.

You want no secrets? I wouldn't divulge any secrets over our writings but one day you'll be able to hear the secrets no one else knows. Until then I suppose we'll just make conversation through these letters till you wish to meet face to face. I want to make sure you are comfortable with meeting me in person.

Your mother was in 2nd army? I suppose that's fair you wish to keep her identity secret with you being in the Tidemakers. Though if her last name has changed I doubt I would be able to figure out who she was. It sounds like you are close to your family that you keep letters.

The idea of you being speechless brings a smile to my face knowing it can't be easy. I can't imagine why no one would ever look at you unless you have just kept yourself out of the sight. The idea you've tolerated her for so long and not even once wanted to say something is surprising.

I can only wonder what you look like. Tomorrow, I'm setting out to the training grounds to take a look at the Grisha. I always do this but maybe I'll get a chance to look at your face without knowing it's you. Since you stay in a small group there is always a chance I could spot you without knowing.

Ah..we're at the stage he can start looking. What else can happen? Uh presents..wait he's going out to the training grounds tomorrow?! I thought 

I read over it again knowing this was not what I expected. I gulped but figured I would hold off replying till afterwards. I just needed to see how this played out. So I took the time and waited for tomorrow. I knew my identity was kept secret with just being A so I would keep to that. 

The night seemed long as I laid there and waited but soon enough I woke up and got ready. I looked at his letter knowing I'd do it. I'd send the letter back now as I wrote it up quickly. 

General Kirigan.

I could not describe what it feels like to have the sun on your face at night nor would I expect you to understand..but as someone who may understand. I believe the people would consider us a perfect match a Dual Summoner who they would look at as a Sun Saint and you a Shadow Summoner who they would call the starless saint. What a pair we probably could be. 

I look forward to the day we are able to talk face to face with everything going on. As for your time out in the training grounds, I promise you that when you got out there you wouldn't have noticed me. While I may watch in the shadows of everyone else I have always admired you in a way that can't be explained. Yet I remain in the shadows of everyone else to keep the girls who wish they had this opportunity to write to you.

I grew up with the stories of the little palace but the kefta she has at home was older styled. I used to wear it growing up and say I was going to be just like her. Yet as I write to you I look in the mirror at my Kefta and feel a fraud. I'm blending in with the Tidemakers when I'm also a Sun Summoner.
