IMPORTANT A/N: so I'm using Trigedasleng (Grounder Language) for some dialogue to me it seem more realistic. I'm making it so the grounder's only use English when they're around friends, family, or people they trust and that's usually in private. I'll put the translation at the end of the chapter. If I hear enough complaints about it, I'll just change the whole thing to English. Enjoy Gremlins!


I kneel in front of Lexa. She nods at me to rise and I do. The guards leave the room quickly. "Ha hofli Ai badan op Yu heda?" I ask. 

"Kai, as you probably seen and heard, there was a large crash this morning near the Trikru clan's territory. Something from the sky. I'm assigning you in charge of a group of warriors to travel from Polis to the closest Trikru village to the crash and to observe and report back to me. People are worried that this crash could be a potential threat and I'm not going to lie, It concerns me too. You shall stay there for a month and write to me on what you find. You leave at once and take the fastest horses, understood?" I nod my head and kneel once more before walking out of he room to gather my warriors.

We make it to the Trikru village in record time and walk through the main street to the warrior's hut where I meet up with Indra who was visiting the village to check and make sure they have needed resources. I'm left alone with Indra to discuss what to do. She kneels for a moment in respect.

"Welcome Wanheda, what is the order from the Commander?" She asks anxiously.

"Hello Indra, she has told me to go and observe the crash and report back to her. Me and my warriors are to stay here for a month and make sure whatever landed is not a threat. I'm going to leave my warriors here to help hunt and protect the village while I go and get a glance at what's at the crash site." 

Indra nods, "Lincoln is already there, he knows you're coming so just stick together." I huff. Sometimes she can treat me like I'm a toddler not knowing what I'm doing when I'm literally the commander of death and one of the best warriors Lexa has. Not to mention they sent out my big brother of all people to scout the crash while they wait for me. I reluctantly nod and leave the hut to see my warriors waiting outside for me.

"I'm going to observe the crash. Protect the village and help hunt while I'm gone. We don't want to be freeloaders." I say sternly and they all nod hastily, knowing if I'm speaking English to them then I'm not to be questioned. I begin to head out to meet with Lincoln.

I rush through the forest trees, adrenaline rushing through my veins as I try balance on the tree branches I step on, my personal choice on how to travel and stay hidden at the same time. I make the quick split second decision on which branch would hold my weight as I stepped on it over and over again.  

 I make it to the crash after a while and sit on a branch while looking for Lincoln. After a moment, I spot him on a nearby branch drawing what he sees. I move towards there and sit next to him. He doesn't seemed alarmed by my presence and slightly bows his head in sarcastic respect.

"Heya Wanheda," He murmurs to not be heard by anyone but me as I peer at the giant shuttle in awe. I lightly shove him in playful manner and flick his temple. "Ow! You know that hurts!" He whisper yells as he rubs his temple to try and soothe the minor pain. 

"Quit being a baby and that's what you get for being so formal around me," I murmur, annoyed before scouting down below. I see many people below that seem to be all teens of different ages setting up tents and fires. 

Lincoln rolls his eyes, "Good to see you too little sister."

"How many are there?" I ask quietly as to not alert them that we're watching while also ignoring his comment. 

He huffs, "I've counted sixty seven so far but according to the boy that seems to be their leader," He directs my vision towards a strong looking older boy that seems to be the oldest out of all of them, "They call themselves The 100, so I can only guess there's 100 of them." I nod in agreement as I study the supposed leader of this group. He has jet black hair gelled and combed back. He looks very stoic for his age, like he's seen a lot, yet there's something about his eyes that seems to pull at my chest, a sort of longing...

I snap out of it and continue to ask questions about what Lincoln's seen so far which hasn't been much. They've fought a bit and think they're alone on Earth, that everyone was wiped out in the bombs almost a century ago. They're trying to reach Mount Weather that they think has equipment they can use to survive. Lincoln and I watch as they send out a small party to go look for the supplies and bring it back.

I start to get up, "I'm heading back to the village. I need to get my warriors together and watch the party to make sure they don't get to Mount Weather." 

Lincoln nods in agreement, "I'll stay here and keep watching. I'll let you know if something happens." I agree and look at the camp one more time, to the 100's leader one more time. Something about him intrigues me. I playfully nudge Lincoln's shoulder and walk off back to the village to find my warriors and prepare them for whatever's next. It shouldn't be that hard to keep them in line, as far as I saw they're unarmed and even if they were armed, I doubt they know how to properly use a weapon. But still, there's one thing these Sky people need to learn fast, and that's to not mess with the Mountain Men.

Ha hofli Ai badan op Yu heda? = How may I serve you Commander?
