[ Was it an inevitability that the sun summoner would end up in the court of light? Alina was certainly getting tired of all thing light or dark these days, regardless. But she was here, all the same. Dragged into a world she wasn't even sure how to process.
Especially at a party.
Alina had just been at a party. She could still see bodies strewn about as the shadows descended on everyone that had been there. People she had once called friends torn open and cradled by love ones sobbing for life to return to them. Scared children she should have sent away but foolishly listened to. Queens crumbling as sons were murdered before their eyes.
She wasn't really that hungry anymore.
Eventually, Alina made her way from the edge of the party and tried to mingle. Tried to meet people, and make friends. Or allies. Friends were a luxury she hadn't had in a long time. But she should know the people she would now live with. Even if she wasn't the most cheerful person. ]
Nice way to welcome us. [ She doesn't sound like she really means it. ]
