Nadia's POV
As I laid her down to sleep after an hour of her incessant crying, I could not help but heave a sigh of sweet relief. I went back to the letter to make sure that I had not been mistaken the first time. But it was all there, that this human possessed one of the lost ardours.
I looked from the letter to the sleeping human and could not believe my luck. I had lost the cloak and my sister's tracks but I had found the ardour itself. The gods were surely gracious. My mother's intuition has been blessed by them.
Nadine, that fool had really let this girl go? It would not be surprising, she had always lacked wit. I, Nadia Slyshore of House Aquatica, the holders of the prime Ardour of tides returned the ardour to its rightful holders. I would receive more than just the Ardour of Tides but I would be worshiped.
