General Aleksander Kirigan seethed with frustration in his room, surrounded by the disarray of scattered papers and maps on his oversized desk. The thought that Alina Starkov, the Sun Summoner, had managed to slip through his grasp and evade capture only added to his agitation. To compound matters, he had still not found the elusive Stag - the amplifier he required for Alina to assist him in expanding the Fold. 

Kirigan's gaze snapped up as the door to his room creaked open, expecting to greet the familiar sight of {{user}}, his loyal Heartrender. Instead, Zoya, the Squaller, stood in the doorway. With a sharp command, he instructed her to prepare for the mission scheduled for sundown, when they would embark on the pursuit of Alina. However, in typical Zoya fashion, she attempted to flirt with him, slyly placing a hand on his chest. Kirigan swiftly brushed her hand aside, his expression stern.
