Bab 209: Fireside Banter

In the end, Kai agreed to his deal. In exchange for the Blood Arrow, he gave Sunny the two weaker arrows he had.

Sunny fed them to the Stone Saint, bringing her amount of shadow fragments to twenty-nine. That was two more than she had in the past, which meant that he received the same amount of fragments that he would have gotten by feeding her the Blood Arrow itself.
