"We gather here on this ascension day to honor the commanders that have come here before me, those who live within me, as I will live on within one of you." Heda smiled

Suddenly the door bursts open.

"Fleimkepa don swega klin bilaik osir na ge sen in!" The flame keeper promised we would be heard!

"Titus, what is this?" Heda questions

"Something you need to hear, Heda." He says

The people brought in Tavia, gagged and restrained. I wanted to call out to her but I knew now was not the time.

"Wigod ai op hashta min klin ona disha presh sintaim, Heda. Ai laik Semet kom Trikru. Wocha kom Rendon, en ai kom op hashta raitnes." Demetrius kneels then slowly gets up. Forgive me for intruding in this holy day, commander. I am Semet of Trikru chieftain of Rendon and I come seeking justice.

"Gouva yu klin. Chomouda yu don sis op Okteivia kom Skaikru gon honon?" Heda asks Explain yourself. Why do you hold Octavia kom Skaikru prisoner?

"Em laik honon kom wor, Heda, don ge lid hir na sin in kripon-de kom omon kru. Beja, Heda. Ai beja yu daun. Goch osir klin." Semet frowns She is a prisoner of war, Heda, brought here to bear witness to the crimes of her people. Please, Heda. I beg you. Avenge us.

Clarke walked up to him with a scowl, "what crimes? What happened?"

"Skaikru attacked their village. Because their warriors were lost when your people massacred the army we sent to protect you, their village was defenseless." Titus explained

"Jus drein jus daun! Wamplei kom skaikru!" People yelled blood must have blood! Death to Skaikru!

"Yu na spek daun ona disha wogeda!" Titus demanded you will show respect in this chamber!

"Today I call upon the armies of the twelve clans to march on Arkadia. Not to attack. To contain. We will blockade the thirteenth clan. We will keep them from the lands they wish to possess. We will give them time to take out their leaders from within. Once they rise up against them, we will welcome them back as one of us." Heda announced

This cause a bust of murmurs from the small crowd of people but us novelty's kept quiet, exchanging confused glances with each other.

"You heard the commander. Send riders. Tell your armies to set up a buffer zone around Arkadia. Five miles should be enough to keep away from our villages. What are their orders, Heda?" Titus says

"Any Skaikru caught across the line will be subject to a kill order." Heda declared

"Heda I do not understand. How is this vengeance?" Semet frowned

"It is not vengeance, brother. It is justice." Heda reminds

"Skaikru killed my sons and my brother and my wife! If the spirit of the commander will not protect us, what will?" Semet yelled

"You mind yourself, Semet." Titus grumbles

"Wamplei kom Heda!" Semet screams death to the commander

Semet then takes out a knife and tries to charge towards Heda but before he could get close, Titus runs up to him, takes the knife from Semet, and stabs his chest twice.

...

I was currently in my chambers. Practicing throwing my knife when Tavia comes in.

"Tavia!" I smile

"Rora! The kill order is going into affect a dawn. I want you to come with me. Do you think Lexa will let you come?" Tavia asks

"I'm pretty sure. I mean as long as I'm with you. You're super strong you'd protect my if anything would happen to me. I'll go ask Heda now!" I smile excitedly

"Okay meet me outside near the shops." Tavia says. I nod before grabbing my canteen, knives, and sword.

I knock on Heda's door before hearing a loud "enter" then open the door

"Heda do I have your permission to go with Tavia? I'll be with her at all times I promise. I just think it'll be good for me to-"

"Yes, Aurora. You are not a prisoner here. In fact you were the one who chose to stay. I didn't make that decision for you. This will be good combat training for you too." Heda smiles

I bounce in place before thanking her and running out the door to say goodbye to the noveltys.

I met Tavia and Indra outside but sadly Clarke didn't show up. I had a bad feeling as to why she didn't show up. I knew Clarke for a long time. This isn't something she wouldn't show up to unless something happened...
