Aurora

I was going back to Arkadia with Clarke and Lexa to deliver Queen Nia. The only reason I was going is because I'm Skaikru and I really wanted to see Tavia and Lincoln which Heda allowed. I miss my other friends too but they practically raised me while on the ground.

Especially Tavia.

"Thinking about home?" Heda asked Clarke and I

"Thinking about weather Arkadia is home." Clarke sighs while I just nod.

"When I left, it had a different name. I was different." Clarke says

"You left a hero to your people. And you will return one. The mountain slayer returned with the body of the Ice Queen and a promising novelty. Wouldn't it be interesting if the thirteen clans would end up being ruled over by someone from Skaikru? You bring them justice." Heda smiles

"You bring them justice." Clarke corrects

"We bring them peace." Heda responds

"I still can't believe I'll see Lincoln and Tavia after all this time. Do you think they'll recognize me with my armor and hairdo?" I question

"I'm pretty sure they will. I'm happy for you, Aurora. You will be able to reunite with them soon enough." Heda smiles while Clarke chuckles, glad that I still behave as a child from time to time

As we were approaching the army that was sent to protect Skaikru, one of the guards yelled "Heda!"

Confused, we looked at the gruesome scene before our eyes.

The entire army was dead.

We dismount our horses and walk through the field with guards on either side of us, watching in horror.

How could someone commit genocide against an army sent to protect-

"All bullet wounds." I realized

"Heda! Miya snap!" A guard yells from afar Heda! Come quick!

We run to the guard to see Indra. She's alive.

"Indra!" Heda calls out

Clarke pulls back a piece of her armor to see a bullet wound.

"I need bandages." She orders

"Stay away. You're one of them." Indra weakly demands

"Indra, teik em sis au." Heda orders indra, let her help

"Indra what happened?" Heda asked

"They attacked when we slept. Our watch was to the north, looking for Azgeda. They killed our archers first. Our infantry couldn't get close. Then they executed the wounded." Indra informs

What?

"The summit was two days ago. How could Kane do this?" I ask

"Not Kane. It was Pike." Indra frowned

Now it all makes sense.

"How did you escape?" Heda asked

"Bellamy."

"Bellamy was with them?" Clarke questioned

"He wanted to spare the wounded, but they wouldn't listen. He convinced Pike to let me live. So I could deliver a message." Indra says

"What message?"

"Skaikru rejects the coalition. This is their land now. We can leave or we can die."

"Send riders. I call upon the armies of the Twelve Clans. In days time we lay waste to Arkadia. And everyone within its walls." Heda commanded
