plots in progress: shreya batra + natalya novikov, featured in blood and ash

Summoner. Before her Grisha exam, Shreya Batra had never felt like she truly belonged anywhere. In the world of otkazat’sya, she had been nothing at all, just another mouth for the orphanage to feed. But in the world of Grisha, her world, she was something special. An Inferni, a gifted student, a prodigy warrior. A favorite of the Darkling, slowly beginning to work her up into the ranks of his most prized soldiers. She had power, she had purpose, she was no longer the defenseless little girl she had once been. The Darkling made certain of that and for that, she was grateful, loyal to the Second Army of Ravka, ready to do whatever was needed to ensure the future of her people.

Soldier. Getting drafted into the First Army was a death sentence, Natalya Novikov knew that. Most would argue that being put into a unit of trackers was better than being an outright soldier, but the military issue weapon she’d been given on her first day said otherwise. Regardless of her position, she was still property of the Ravkan monarchy, property of an army that had to drag her in. The First Army was Ravka’s first line of defense against threats to their sovereignty and if the situation arose, Natalya knew she’d be expected to be a god little soldier and die for a country that cared all too little.

Shreya Batra. Natalya Novikov. Two girls who, despite all differences, had led lives that would presumably finish with the same ending: dying for their country.  Ravka was war-torn, weakened, filled with destruction. A stage set for a finale that should have been nothing but bloodshed. Two girls, both underestimated. Both raised like lambs for slaughter, trained to be the perfect soldiers for Ravka’s two armies, for a war that was never meant to be their burden to bear. But the thing about stories is that they always have the power to change and this one changed with the discovery of the Sun Summoner. It was that burst of light in the Shadow Fold that set a new path into motion, one that could have the potential to destroy Ravka more than ever before but one that also offered a semblance of hope.

Summoner. Soldier. Survivors.

They would not allow themselves to become casualties of this war.

moodboards: natalya novikov 🌿

“Look, I get it. I’m not Grisha, I’m just another otkazat’sya that Alina dragged along who you think is getting in the way. But Ravka is my home, too. And I’d rather the Saints strike me down where I stand right now than let that monster destroy it.”
