Aurora
Clarke, Abby, Roan, and I were in the back of the truck. Roan was the first to get out followed by me then Clarke got up.
"Clarke, can I talk to you for a second?" She asks
"Ill catch up." Clarke says
Roan and I nod before walking off.
We see Kane holding his hand up.
"Gentlemen, Commander. It's good to see you. Just- wait here." Kane stutters
Something's not right.
Roan and I glance at each other knowing something is off.
"Where are the guards?" I ask
"Our people aren't back from Arkadia yet."
"Kane, don't! Roan, Heda!" Clarke yells
Roan and I take out our swords and Trikru warriors emerge from the woods
"Trikru! What is this?" Roan demands
"There dosent have to be any violence." Kane says
Suddenly, arrows are shot from the trees, killing the Trikru warriors.
Azgeda warriors come out and restrain everyone except for Roan and I.
"Welcome back to Polis, Heda." Echo welcomes
___
We make our way into the same room Abby and Clarke healed Roan in.
"Kei. So's klir. Gouva yu klin." I demand Okay. We're safe. Explain.
"Lok emo honon daun. Ten hef ona dou-de." Echo orders Cage the prisoners. Ten men on the door.
"Lid ai in Wanheda." Roan yells bring Wanheda to me
Echo gave Roan a "what the hell" look
"She said explain."
"Skaikru allied with Trikru to take the temple. They gave up the tower to do it. Strategically, that made no sense, so I put our people at the temple doors. good thing I did." Echo explained
"You did well, Echo." I praised
"Move the rest of our army to the temple doors. No one gets in or out." Roan orders
Just then, the guards bring Clarke in, restrained and gagged.
"Leave us." I say
Echo and the guards waited outside.
I took the gag off Clarke, "How long have you known?"
"I just found out."
Roan took out his pocket knife and cut her loose.
"Thank you for trying to warn us." Roan thanked
"This dosent have to turn into a war." Clarke pleaded
"It's already a war." I scoff
"Only if you fight it."
"Skaikru betrayed us, Clarke. What would you have me do?" I roll my eyes
"Live? The radiation's goanna be here in 6 days. Believe it or not, Kane was trying to save your lives. Especially you, Heda." Clarke reassured
"Mine maybe but not my peoples." Roan says
"That was before you surrounded the temple. Look, now no one can get in to survive unless Heda allows it. Indra will have no choice but to talk." Clarke points out
"Call for a conclave"
Huh?
"Have each clan choose one member to fight. That way less blood will spill. The last conclave."
"I got it! Summon the scouts. The commanders have shown me a way to prevent war from breaking." I smile
"Okay well Kane deserves to be there."
"He's lucky he still has his head. Now let's go. We don't have all day." I order
___
We make our way to the temple and Gaia greets me before we walk into the bunker to meet the war chiefs.
"All my enemies in one place." Roan scoffs
"The Commanders have spoken to me and I have a simple way to solve who gets the bunker." I say
"Yes Heda?" Indra asks
"A final conclave. One person from each clan will fight. Whoever wins, gets the bunker for their clan. Less bloodshed and no war. One death instead of thousands. Simple, yes?" I propose
"Gon wina gon maneit. Trikru is in." Indra agrees holding out her arm to shake. To the victor go the spoils.
All the other clans agreed. Thank the Flame...
Clarke didn't look so happy about my decision but I could care less.
I had decided I would not fight for any clans because I did not want to show bias.
Clarke had practically begged me but I refused because I did not want to show favor for Skaikru. And she betrayed me so why would I help her?
___
I later found out Tavia came back to fight for Skaikru was was happy they found someone trained in grounder combat.
I was just now really hoping Skaikru would win. I don't know what I'd do if Tavia were to die.
