Bexley walked down the hall with Juno at her side before a hand gripped her arm and pulled her into a secluded room and was met with the face of Roan, "Roan what the hell?" Bexley breathed uneasily.

"Sorry" The king muttered, "I have to tell everyone Gaia his the flame so no one gets suspicious of you.

"Ok how do we do that?" Bexley asked a little uneasy with everything that was being said.

"We need to get Gaia involved" he said shortly making Juno grab onto Bexley as she gulped nervously.

Octavia glanced towards the king as he walked towards her, "It's not safe for you here. What do you want?" She asked hostility.

"I need you to handle something for me the way you handled Ambassador Rafel. We should speak alone" he said looking at Indra.

Octavia glanced back at the woman, "If you can't trust Indra, you can't trust me" she said with a glare.

Roan glanced around slightly, "The flame's been stolen" he said lowly gaining a heated look from the two.

"How? When?" The sky girl asked while looking around to see if anyone was listening in on their conversation.

"Just now from my quarters while I was training" he said looking of somewhere else.

Indra glared at the man, "How can you be so careless?" Indra spat with a glare.

Octavia shook her head, "We need to lock down this city and search everyone."

"We can't. If word gets out that he's lost the flame, the other clans will question his rule, Trikru loudest of all" she stated making the man nod.

"Then I'll be forced to answer their questions with my army" he said with a pang in his chest as he thought back to Bexley who was hid away in the tower because he wanted communication with the old commanders.

"Or we can just find it. Where do I start?" She asked as she looked around slightly before crossing her arms over her chest.

Roan shook his head, "Whoever did this got in and out of the tower without being seen. In order to risk that, she'd have to care more about the flame than her own life".

" 'She?' " Octavia asked with a raised eyebrow.

Roan rolled his eyes, "The new flamekeeper" he stated with a 'duh' look.

Indra couldn't help the glare that took over her face, "Perhaps you should look closer to home. You're not exactly beloved" Octavia gave a soft laugh of agreement.

"My people want an Ice Nation king" he said sternly.

"The ambassadors don't" Indra said in defense of the other clans as not everyone was thrilled with the ice nation ruling over everything.
