He slowly moved towards me with a wicked excited glint in his eyes which made him look even more menacing . He moved like a predator getting ready to catch it's prey . Steadily but swiftly .

He stood in front of me and put his hand forward . I hesitated but compiled . He held my arm firmly in his grasp and pushed up my sleeve .

Just as his skin made contact with mine i felt something . It felt like something was slithering under my skin begging to come out . I could feel a pressure being lifted.

Looking at me one last time he slowly made a cut along the inner region of my elbow. It did hurt but not as much i had previously anticipated .
Just as the tear was made light poured out of it . The light was bright , almost white just as Haera had rescribed it . It was beautiful like moonlight ......and it was mine .

Seconds later the shadows made its wasy through the tear in my skin . They cloiled around the beam of light like vines similar to the time i had touched the Fold for the first time .

Kirigan was looking at the light and the shadows surrounding it . For the first time since i have seen him i could see whatever he was thinking being reflected in his eyes. He looked stunned his eyes never weavering from the light . He was studying it , trying to figure something out .

He released my arm and stepped back. It was like he was caught in a trance . Still looking at the place where the light had previously been , he told the guards to take us to the carriage.

He turned around and started walking back towards the table while we were being pulled out of the tent by two strong arms yet again . As we were made to exit the tent i could hear people whispering

"Two sun summoners...we have been blessed"

"The other one is half heretic"

"Holy saints"

The voices died down as we were pushed out of the tent . After being shoved for about five minutes we reached the carriage .  It was a beautiful black carriage and standing in front of it in red kefta with black embroidery was Ivan . He wore a black woolen hat like thingy . Even though it was rediculous he still somehow managed to pull it off

"You heard the general . Let's go get in " he nodded his head towards the carriage while holding the door open with one hand

"No" Alina said dismissing his order
"There's been a mistake i need to find Mal" she continued with a glare in his direction .

Ivan slowly made his way towards us
"The general doesn't make mistakes" his voice was low but held authority

I tugged at Alinas sleeve to tell her to shut up and get in the coach but she shrugged off my hand without looking twice at me

"His orders were to get you both to the little palace immediately" he continued

"Now get in the coach"

"Everyone makes mistakes"
" Look at me , Do i look important to you? " Alina said shaking her head

"You look like trouble . Which is nearly the same" I snorted

Alina turned around and looked at me  her eyes wider than normal , i think i saw Ivan smirk . I looked at Alina apologetically and gestured for her to continue.

"Malyen Oretsev . He's in the medic tent
I need to speak to him" Alina said with resolution " I'm going to speak to him"
She begins to walk away

Ivan walks up to Alina and grips her arm

"Listen to me" he said looking at her seriously

"Every spy in the area will hear what you did and our enemies will come for you " he starts  "Our only chance is to get you to Os Alta , behind the palace walls before you get killed " he finishes .

"Come on" he pulls Alina towards the carriage and i follow
Before entering the carriage me and Alina were each given a red kefta . It was an already worn kefta but still in very good condition .

The carrige ride gave me enough time to think about all that has happened and all that is going to happen .

I decided to make a mental list of all the things that have happened so far
First thinngs first i was in Shadow and bone . THE SHOW!. I saw the fold . I saw  Alina and Mal . I saw Alexi being taken away by the volcra . I stopped .

Wait Alexi got taken away that means he would have reached Katterdam by now , like he did on the show .... so does that mean Kaz , Inej and Jasper are going to come here? .

Instead of being terrified of the situation like a normal person i was now full on fangirling .

Well I'm not normal now .. I am grisha.

How was that even possible ? Scratch that ... a grisha with two different summoning powers . That is not even in the books .
Does that mean me being here is adding things......changing things in the story?
What if i bring a negitive change ....what if someone has to die for me to live , to make balance ?

My inner monolog was interrupted , i looked up to see the source of the interruption . Out of the two man sitting in front of me one was Ivan and other was Fedyor. Since they didn't know that i know who they are Ivan started to introduce Fedyor

" This is Fedyor " he said gesturing towards the man on the right

I already knew who they were and what they were going to talk about so i ignored them and decided to look out the window

"Pleasure to meet you" i heard him say as the trees moved by

"They call this a kefta . Its bulletproof , The uniform of The Second Army "

"What about The First Army ? Back in Kirbirsk , a thousand soldiers marching with us isn't that safer than this? " i could tell Alina was starting to get frustrated and angry

"Slower not faster . Not really" replied a monotonous voice

" If you left me with the cartography unit , no one would look twice at us " at this i turned around and looked at Alina like she had grown two heads

" I agree no one would look twice ....They would look more than just two times . You are a literal light bulb Alina " i was getting enough of her whining . She might be afraid , being taken away from her friends and Mal but i clearly have bigger problems . I know it's not right of me to reflect my anger and frustration on her when she doesn't even know the full story but i can't help it .

Alina grows quiet for a few seconds . She looks at me with sympathy and smiles "Well....so are you "

It's really hard to stay mad at her . Why is she so understanding?

" I'm sorry I'm just stressed " i looked at her apologetically and gave her a small smile

" It's alright and i completly understand what you are feeling " she puts a hand on my shoulder . I gave her a greatful smile.

" All of Ravka has been waiting for
you " Fedyor said suddenly making us both look his way

He was looking only at Alina when he said that

" I get it . The whole country wants to see the fold gone " Alina said not meeting his eyes

Fedyor scoffed " But it's bigger than
that "

" You are hope for the country , yes , but a myth come true for a Grisha " Alina looked at him unsurely

" It was a Grisha who created the fold . If a grish destroys it, maybe...." he paused and sighed " Maybe we wouldn't need those high walls to protect us anymore " he finished looking at Alina

Alina looked away , her breathing fastened

Just a few minutes later the carriage came to a stop .

" The road is blocked , beware" came a voice from outside

I realised what was going to happen ...They were going to get attacked . Wait ..... We were going to get attacked .

"For Fu*ks sake just let me breathe " i said looking up at the carriage ceiling.
