Revelations of Alexei 26

Kaz was curious,since they didn't have much information.They could get it from his brother.But this was all quick.So they had to act quickly as Kaz questioned"Who's this?"

Dreesen walked ans stood next to the prisoner saying"So you don't know everything after all."

Kaz kept a stoic face,he was slightly annoyed inside.As Dressen removing the mask said"This… is Alexei Stepanov."

Nina recognized the boy from the list of Cartographers that were in the air ship that went through the Fold,it was told the boy fell out of ship.But he seems to ran all the way through the Fold.

As Dreesen explained"Two weeks ago, young Alexei here crossed through the Fold on foot.Alone."

Kaz asked"How?"

Dreesen waking towards a table started pouring a drink,while saying"They're keeping it quiet, but allegedly he was one of the witnesses to...an event."

Alexei was thirsty muttered"Water."

Inej feeling pity quickly went to the table and poured some water.She quickly went to Alexei and slowly helped him drink.

Kaz knew what happened,but he had to play his part the mission was to find who all were involved with West Uprising mainly supporting General Zaltan,as he asked"What kind of event?"

Dreesen answered"I know an expedition was ordered and our Saint Hadrian Black was in the front lines at the time,so as you can guess it was swarmed by volcra.Should've been a total loss, but something happened Some device detonated.Obliterated the volcra,lit up the dark like a forest fire.I know it wasn't a fire or Hadrian Black.But something else."

The people started clamoring behind,as Dreesen ignoring this continued"This was some invention no one had seen before.He knows,But he doesn't seem to be able to articulate his account of events.Some form of traumatic lapse.So…"

Kaz gestured towards Milana,who walked next to Alexei and held his hand and said"You're safe now.

Alexei who was nervous and scared,started to slowly calm down as Milana asked"Now you can just speak and I will just listen."

Milana asked"All right.Tell me what happened in the Fold.....What saved you?"

Alexei was dazed said"You won't believe me, but… it was a another Sun Summoner."

There was some gasps,Inej whispered"Another one like Lord Hadrian."

Milana politely asked"Who was it?"

Alexei was hesitant asked"If I tell you, you'll set me free?"

Milana smiled and replied"You have my word. I'll set you free.You're in Ketterdam now, Alexei.You can go anywhere in the world from here.Just imagine.Come on."

Alexei hesitantly replied"Her name is…Alina Starkov."

Nina had enough yelled"Everyone stop."she used her powers to control everyone,all for them were.like statues.None of them will hear or see what they are going do.

Everyone except the Crow Club,Alexei and Milana,who was shocked she heard talks about Black Dragon were really strong Grisha,but this was amazing.

Nina quickly went to Alexei who was confused,but calming him down,she broke his chains.

Nina took out a small dummy that appears as a blank humanoid puppet.In which she dropped a blood of the Alexei as the dummy actually morphed absolute copy of Alexei.

Nina used the commication to mirror to alert Alexei coming to there place,then with as portkey Alexei disappeared.

While Milana was watching everything with awe and shock.As Jesper seeing this chuckled and said"Yeah,that is really teleportion and it still blows my Mind,how Lord Hadrian created this."

While seeting fake Alexei up Nina once again used her powers to make them normal.

Dreesen was not one bit doubtful,after getting the information he shot the fake Alexei.Which was something Kaz,Jesper and Nina foresaw.

Dreesen putting his gun away said"We are now the only people west of the Fold with this information.My ship sails for West Ravka at dawn.

If you can prove that you have a way through the Fold and back, I'll put you on that ship with an advance.If you don't, I'm giving this job to Pekka Rollins."

Kaz with confidence said"We can do that."

Dreesen was a little confused by the confidence,but he just needed the job done,so while leaving the basement said"So one Million kruge for getting me,Alina Starkov."

Nina frowned and thought"He is so not going to let her live.After all Lord Hadrian was threat to West Ravka being independent and he already had many assassination attempts.So another Star summoner would have made them fear more."
