Once the boat had everyone on it and Zoya at the sail we looked at the Fold, I was getting scared and I think Aleksander could tell as he pulled me close before removing my cloak. I wasn't tied to the boat so I could move freely and the inferni that was coming explained it easily. We kept positions and stayed calm with the blue light until I would make the tunnel.

Can I do this? I thought

I motioned for David to come over and he did as I walked over to Aleksander. I knew if this was going to be how we lived then this piece of the stag couldn't be sticking out of his hand. "What are you doing?" Aleksander asked as I told David to use his Grisha power. Aleksander watched as I manipulated the piece to where only the sun summoner symbol remained on his hand. "You'd look silly at our wedding with it sticking out but keep in mind I manipulated it with David's power to be this way if you betray me I can remove it." I said

Aleksander had a look of realization on his face seeing that Baghra taught me well, something crossed my mind a few times. The cut, Merzost, things I might be able to use someday as Baghra's student, Aleksander's equal but not without its consequences on Merzost, I questioned what it may have been for him at what cost. Then I remembered what Baghra told me about the fold women, children, and men were turned into Volcra.

Once we were inside I stood there waiting as I heard them keeping quiet, the sails going and I tried my best to stay calm. Aleksander motioned me over to him as I walked over and we listened to the Volcra. I heard some of the nobles asking why I hadn't made the tunnel yet but Aleksander was more in charge at this time. I looked back at my family members, my father and Grandmother who both nod if anything were to go wrong.

"Aleksander I can do this now, let me just open the tunnel for us." I said, Aleksander just looked at me for a minute debating as we were in the middle before he put a hand on my shoulder. I felt the power of the sunburst out as I shook my head after the tunnel was made. This power was exhilarating and I had just as much claim to it as he did only since this was on my terms that we did this together.

Aleksander had the skiff stop and I looked at him seeing he was looking at West Ravka, also known as Novokribirsk. We stood there at the edge of the skiff looking at General Zlatan waiting to greet us. "Well what do you want, Amira?" Aleksander asked as I looked at him knowing everyone was waiting for his orders. "I could swallow them in the shadows." As much as I knew Zlatan would deserve it I shook my head at Aleksander knowing I would deal with Zlatan. "If he sends people to attack us, Show no mercy but innocents are to be kept alive." I said as I saw Aleksander pull me close and get close to my ear "Spoken like a leader Moye Serdtse."

I saw my father was watching us and I kept my calm since I was still in control here for the most part. This was for us, I had swayed his original intention as he had Zoya move the ship forward. I walked away from him as I gathered with my family, my parents and grandparents along with my cousin and Aunt looked at me. "Stay alert, if they try to harm us, fight back." I said as they all nodded. "To the people I am their Sol Koroleva, and if I wanted to we could all destroy the fold right here." My aunt looked at me as to why I wasn't able to do so at this time but I knew my powers were nowhere near the amount needed and I wouldn't waste my family's power.

As we made it to the docks I put my hands together behind my back just in case because I had plans to personally speak with General Zlatan. As expected we docked and the men were coming up on board to harm us. My family and I gently used our powers and knocked them back. I'd focused my power just a bit too much and unintentionally used the cut right at their feet as they stepped back.

"Impossible." The first soldier men said

I hadn't registered what I did as they backed up and I motioned for them to get off the skiff. They followed as they bowed their heads and I breathed a bit hard as I felt someone behind me support me a bit. "When did you learn to use the cut with light?" Aleksander asked seriously, I shrugged a bit as we started to lead the nobles off. "Thank you Sol Koroleva for protecting us." The noble said

As much as I wanted to go over and throw Zlatan in the fold, I had morals about myself as we walked over. "General Zlatan, what is the meaning of this?" I asked before Aleksander could even say anything. "General, I see you're letting your Grisha 2nd army soldiers now speak out of line." General Zlatan said. Aleksander merely secured his arm around me as I noticed a smirk from the corner of his eyes. "I would show some respect, General Zlatan, to my Fiancé the Sun Summoner who is also Tidemaker. Our first known Dual Summoner." Aleksander said

General Zlatan seemed to be surprised but when he went to talk I just raised my hand to cut him off before he started. "I find your acts to be treason against Grisha and the nobles who were crossing the fold. If I had the authority you would be stripped of your title as General but that is not my choice." I said as I noticed my actions only were empowering Aleksander's ego. "I will look past it while we are on this side of Ravka, to keep peace with all of Ravka we need supplies for the other side that will take a few days."

Aleksander led me away seeing General Zlatan's expression "I couldn't be more impressed and not many people can do that." Aleksander reminded me as I smiled. We found arrangements for everyone and though I didn't mind, I wanted Genya. I laid on the makeshift bed in the tent as I thought about everything. Then I heard people running in saying that the King had become ill and the Apparat was in charge but had gone missing. When we were alone I laid on the makeshift bed as I looked at Aleksander's back.

"Did you have something to do with the King?" I asked, I wanted to get Genya away from the royals but he just looked back at me. "I may have helped in what he was getting, Genya needed assistance." Aleksander said that I was already aware of the rumors but then I knew that there was so much more going on. "Something is on your mind."

I smiled as I looked up at the tent, we were stuck here till everything was put together and that meant more freedom. "You're planning to rule, I want Genya on my side. I want to get her away from her servitude and help her." Aleksander sighed a bit as he didn't say a whole lot "The King might recover, but if we come into power soon we could overthrow anyone." I sighed a bit knowing he was right but at the same time, there was no rush to get married under urgency. He sat by me while I laid on the makeshift bed putting a hand on my cheek as I pulled him down to me, our lips meeting in a kiss. I needed to say this now before I backed out again before anything else gave me a reason to avoid it after we part.

"I love you Aleksander, you are Moye Serdtse." I said with a smile, he looked down at me with those dark eyes that matched his power and the shadow fold putting a hand on my cheek. "I love you too Amira, Moye Serdtse and moya Sol Koroleva
