Forever Yours

Boundary

Lexa

My horse cantered through the forest.  My healer wasn't as experienced as I was when it came to riding and I feared if I went faster then I would lose her.  I wanted to go faster - anything to get to Clarke - but couldn't.

"The boundary should be just up ahead." I told my healer, Mara.

She nodded, "Sha Heda. (Yes Commander)" She replied.

I refocused on the trail ahead.  Maybe five minutes later we had arrived.  Surprised murmurs spread through the warriors since I hadn't had time to send a messenger to alert them to my approach.

"What's been happening?" I asked Indra as she approached.  I knew Mara would want to look at my injury but this was more important at the moment.

"We cannot tell very well, however Clarke has returned - though I'm sure you are aware." Indra responded.

"Yes, I am aware.  We spoke yesterday.  Sometime soon Lincoln and Octavia are going to assassinate Pike and then we will allow them through the boundary to safety - wherever they go.  If they wish they can return to Polis with Clarke and I, if they wish they may go to Trikru, or they can do something else - they will be free to do as they please." I said.

She nodded and left to spread the word.  Despite Indra's hard nature I knew that she had grown to like - even care for - Octavia.  It wasn't uncommon for Seconds and their mentors to become close and care about each other on a family-like level but it did surprise me the first time I realized that Indra had gotten attached to Octavia.

"Heda, may I look at you injury?" Mara asked quietly.

I nodded, "Let us find a vacant tent." I said.

As if my words had summoned it, a warrior walked over, "Heda oso yu don prepared laik tent gon yu. (Commander we have prepared a tent for you)" He said.

I nodded for him to lead Mara and I and he complied silently, guiding us to a tent.  It wasn't large like most I stayed in but I didn't mind, I had come unannounced and had expected it.

Mara and I entered and I allowed her to check my injury, "It didn't reopen at all, which is good.  I'd recommend not training though." She said.

I nodded, "Of course." I said.

She nodded, seeming to know that I wanted time alone, and left.  As soon as I was sure she was gone I stood and made my way to the boundary line.  I squinted at Arkadia, trying to make out anyone I knew but couldn't.
