Episode 1:
Wanheda

The next two months flew by. Lincoln trained with me when we first got back since Keran wasn't here. After a few weeks, Keran had shown up telling me Lexa wanted me back soon for the meeting she told me about. "You guys going on a run?" I ask seeing the others getting ready to leave. "Yeah. Out towards Sector 6." Bellamy tells me. "Alright. Just be careful. Radio if you hit any trouble. I'll come running." I tell him and he nods. "We know, strong ruler of ours." He teases. 

"Be safe!" Raven yells seeing me preparing my horse. "I'll be fine Raven. My trusty guards, and Murphy, are with me. Take care of that damn leg." I tell her with a grin. "I'll be fine." She copies and I shake my head amused. I swing myself onto my horse as Octavia comes over on her own. "Hey, radio when you get there. Things have seemed tense in the woods." She tells me. "Thanks O. I'll radio later." I smile at her. "Murphy come on!" I call with a grin.

"I'm coming. This horse hates me." He mumbles and I giggle. He comes riding over and I smile. "Let's go, before she sends a search party." I giggle and he nods. We head to the gate, meeting up with the riders and Keran. "Keep up boys." I call with a smirk. They all share looks of amusement before chasing me as I take off out of camp. I laugh as we race down the trail through the woods. After a good 30 minutes, I slow down. 

"Let's not race anymore." Murphy calls from behind me. I laugh looking back seeing his ruffled hair. "I needed a little bit of let loose time, before getting there." I grin at him as the guards catch up as well. "Alright. Let's get there before Heda comes after us all." Fio calls and I chuckle. "Fun ruiner." I call out. We ride through quietly for a while before my head snaps to the side hearing noises. "Fio, Keran." I say, the two also staring. "Go. Now!" Keran yells at us, a spear barely missing my head.

"Murphy let's go!" I yell and we both take off. I hear yelling behind us but Keran's voice keeps floating through my head. 'You never stop going. Especially when I tell you too. You keep going until you get to where you are going.' He told me this a million times over. "Just keep going Goddess! Go!" Murphy yells coming up next to me. We rode like hell through the trails finally spotting Polis after I don't know how long. 

"Get Heda Lexa! And bring me a team of Warriors!" I yell as we get to the building. Mira runs over worried as I yell. "What's going on?" She asks me. "We were ambushed. Keran and Fio told us to keep going." I explain quickly. A group of warriors run out as Lexa bursts out the doors. "What happened?" She asks me in their language. "We were ambushed. Keran and Fio are still out there."  I tell her. "Get out there and find them. Find out what they were planning!" She yells at the group who takes off.

"All due respect. I think we can guess what they were planning." I mutter walking inside. "Goddess come on." Murphy calls following me. "This is the ninth one! Five of them were here. Another three at Arkadia." I rant at them. "And we get that. Hey, breath okay?" Murphy says stopping me from walking. "Three other attempts?" Lexa asks and I nod. "Yeah. One within the first two days of us being back. Someone's clearly stalking me." I mutter and she frowns.
