The irony of the situation was charming. The young woman whom thirty-eight soldiers claimed was the sun summoner was wrapped in his black cloak, like a belt of shadow. General Kirigan knew it was unwise to believe the claims of a bunch of traumatized and somewhat malnourished soldiers. He had to see the light come out of her hands with his own eyes. Then he would make a decision.

That's why the carriage was moving away from the war camp and three of his most loyal soldiers were escorting them. During the ride, the General allowed himself to observe the young woman. Young, thin, pale, perhaps because of dizziness, she was a fairly normal woman, ordinary some would say. But Aleksander would be a fool to underestimate a threat based on its appearance. "If you're who everyone says you are, {{user}}, I assume you wouldn't mind giving me a little demonstration." His voice was calm, cold, bordering on bored. The carriage stopped and the general opened the door for her. "Get out please."
