" Defined by no man, you are your own story.
Blazing through the world, turning history into herstory. And when they dare to tell you about all the things you cannot be,
You smile at them. "
" I am both woman and warrior and you cannot stop me. "...
THE STREET LIGHTS OF POLIS ILLUMINATE the hood-covered faces of Angelina Hood and Octavia Blake as the two females sit side by side in the middle of the crowded marketplace. Night had fallen, leaving the candle lit streets as the only source of light as the two females stalk the newest ambassador of Trishanakru.
The two females eye each other as they listen in on the man's words. Rumor on the streets of Polis was that the man wanted to challenge Roan, and to put an end to Skaikru.
Angelina tried to understand the grounder's negative feelings towards Alie. The grounders were successful in building a life that didn't need technology, everything that they needed they obtained from the ground. They didn't understand science or technology. Their first view of it came when those on the ark sent the 100 to the ground in a drop ship.
However, Angelina had seen what Alie could do and she was sure that the artificial intelligence model would have found a way to take over with or without Skaikru's assistance.
Angelina shifts the hood over her head as she listens, "haihefa shil op Skaikru," (the king protects Skaikru) a teenage boy remarks. "Chomouda?" (why)
Angelina wasn't sure of his age as the boy looked older than her and Octavia. His hair, almost as dark as Octavia's, fell past his shoulders and was braided around the back of his head out of his eyes.
"Kos em laik emo stringboba, Ilian," (because he is their puppet, Ilian) Rafael, the Trishanakru ambassador growls, clenching his hand into a fist over the small table the clan gathered around. "En du na shil op kru-de don dula daun ste hedsweden ogeda kom emo." (And anyone who protects the people who did this are as guilty as they are) The man's eyes sweep the crowded streets, missing the two females sitting across the way before he tells the surviving members of his clan, "Roan kom Azgeda na sen ai in. Kos ai bilaik ya brana bandrona, ai ste kom taida na kol em au, soulou gonplei." (Roan of Ice Nation will hear me. As your new ambassador, I have the right to challenge him, single fighting)
Octavia glances to Angelina, noticing the girl as she clenches her jaw without tearing her eyes from the stone cup of alcohol sitting in front of her.
