Perseptive Clarke kom Skikru:

It's been already late in the evening. I really wished Madi could have been here right now, but I knew how happy she was going to school in Sanctum. Of course, not the one on planet Alpha but the city we rebuilt as it. Thinking about the real Sanctum had always been hurtful, but it was a chapter of my life same with Mount Weather. I killed innocent people to save my own...

Lexa went down to Aden who had a bad dream and since she treated him like her son, Lexa wanted to be there for Aden. So, I decided to take on my clothes and went outside. It was a cold night. The sky was clear and full of stars, it was as familiar as always. The space was my home, and it would always stay in my heart. I was a sky person and even if my daughter and my girlfriend were Grounders, I would always stay the leader of the sky people in some way...

I felt a hand on my shoulder and started shaking... Titus turned me around, gave me hug and whispered into my ear. '' Clarke, I am so sorry that I tried to kill you. I promise I will never attempt to ever harm you again... and I am so sorry for what happened today but don't forget, your sister is as strong as you! I was so wrong about you Clarke. Your heart shows no sign of weakness. Tara will make it. Believe me. '' I really did not like Titus but what he did right now changed my mind. I knew he only wanted to protect the commander. I looked into his dark eyes and forgave him. Now I heard Lexa screaming for me. I turned around seeing Aden run into my arms. He kept hugging me for minutes and whispered to me. '' I know everything Clarke. Lexa told me. Even if I don't really know your sister, I believe she is as strong as you.'' I hugged Lexa and took hers and Aden's hand. They were my family and I really loved them and Madi who was in my heart, always. I was scared to go to Arkadia tomorrow, but I forced myself to now only live in the present because that was all I had.

Perspective Ontari:

It was ten minutes before midnight. I recently had an endless discussion with Niylah who was the one monitoring Tara. I really needed to see her. And then, finally Niylah agreed but not without threatening to surrender me to king Roan if I attempt to harm Tara again. Of course, I would never ever hurt her again. It wasn't the real Ontari who tried to kill Tara, but a Heda who had highly been influenced by Sheidheda. I took a deep breath and opened the door to the room where Tara was laying in. I sat next to the bed, took her cold left hand, started crying and the words just came out of me naturally. '' Oh Tara, I wish I could do something to apologize for what I did. I know that my actions must have a cost, but please believe me, I really never wanted this to happen... but Sheidheda was stronger than me. I am so deeply sorry. Please stay strong and fight. We need you! '' I wiped my tears away and laid my head on Tara's hand. I needed to be close to her. I needed to know she was still alive. I closed my eyes for a while but woke up after I heard a quiet voice. Firstly, I thought I was dreaming or hallucinating but I wasn't. Tara slowly patted my shoulder with her right hand. I was about to stand up and scream for Niylah, but Tara held me back. So, I kneeled in front of her and listened. '' Ontari, I heard everything and please don't worry or feel bad for it. I know that it wasn't you but Sheidheda. I am so thankful that you saved me and... ''

She started shaking and cramping. I got scared, really scared. I tried to calm her. '' Shhhh Tara, listen to me, you're gonna be okay, just... just listen to my voice. Let me find Niylah and she will help... '' but Tara interrupted me '' No Ontari, please don't let me alone. I need you. It's... It's Sheidheda, right... in my... head. Scream for help, please. Ontari... please, Raven is the only one who can save me... he is getting too strong. Please... Ontari, please tell Clarke, Madi and Lexa... and Octavia and Bellamy and the others, that I love them... May... May we meet again. '' I couldn't believe what was happening right now. It couldn't be true... I screamed as loud as I could and this time I was being heard. By Niylah, Octavia & Bellamy. They all ran towards me, and Bellamy directly started screaming but Octavia made him stop. She stepped closer to the bed, took Tara's hand, and looked at her. '' Yu gonplei ste Odon Tara kom Ski Kru'' ... In peace... may you leave the shore, in love may you find the next, safe passage on your travels until our final journey on the ground... ''May we meet again, we all replied in a choir. Bellamy wanted to attack me again but this time I was brave enough to tell them what Tara said to me.

Niylah kept watching Tara's vitals while Octavia ran outside to find Raven. I just stood there unable to say or do something. Octavia wasn't away for longer than a minute, but it felt like an eternity. And then finally, Raven entered the room. Bellamy was running around the bed and was irritating all of us, so Octavia brought him outside. And even though they weren't close, I was able to hear every word of their conversation. Bellamy was screaming while Octavia tried to calm him down. '' Octavia, let me to the room again. I don't take orders from my little sister. The monster who killed Tara is still in there while I am here outside. She is Clarke's damn sister, I promised to take care of her and now? Should I tell Clarke that I was too stupid to protect Tara? She lost Abby not even a year ago, her dad on the Ark and she had to kill Finn I mean and now her sister? And Octavia, this time it's my fault and I will kill Ontari for this, together with Lexa. Her actions MUST have a cost. Have you already forgotten that blood must have blood? Jus drein jus daun '' '' Bellamy, it's enough now. Have you ever listened to what you are talking about? First of all, there is still hope for Tara, Raven will fix it, I am sure and then you can talk with Ontari, but you are NOT gonna harm her in any way, swear that! '' '' And what if Ontari only said that Raven can fix it, so I don't attack her? You can't seriously trust this monster...'' '' Bell, I do trust Ontari, and you should too. She wouldn't lie. I know the situation is too much at the moment but please screaming won't help here. Raven needs time and silence. I know that you are worried , so am I but we have to believe in the good now, please. Go to Echo and try to get some sleep. I have the situation under control and when I need help, I will ask Lincoln but please give Raven the time she needs. ''

I heard Bellamy crying and that made me feel even worse. I understood him and I really wanted to help but I knew I couldn't. All I could do was waiting. Octavia entered the room again, so I guessed that Bellamy wasn't outside anymore. She directly walked to me and took my hand. I started shaking. And she talked to me in a really quiet tone. '' Shhhh Ontari, this wasn't your fault. Bell will calm down, but so do you have to calm. I promise I won't let anything happen to you.'' I really wanted to answer but Raven interrupted us. '' Sheidheda is now in the mind drive, we only need to destroy it. Then we are free from him, forever. I still wasn't able to say something, so I just kept listening. ''So Raven, what are you waiting for? '' Octavia asked. '' Well let's say, there is a little problem. Neither you nor I can destroy it. A commander has to destroy it. A commander who had the flame in her head '' '' Means the only people who can do it are Madi who isn't here, Lexa, who is still in Polis, Clarke because she also had the flame when she was in the city of light and Ontari.'' ''Exactly, that's its Octavia. But there is another problem. Sheidheda still has a small influence on the person who has the flame which means Ontari has to concentrate to 100 % of destroying the mind drive.'' Before someone could ask me to do it, I already agreed. '' Of course, I am gonna do it. It's the least I have to do now. '' Raven smiled at me. ''We will get this done. But you need sleep now and so do we all. You will come with me. You can sleep on the couch in my workspace, so Bellamy doesn't come up with any stupid ideas. '' So, the plan was made. I was scared of what would happen tomorrow, but it was my only chance to save Tara.
