Chapter 24

The Tournament Day Two

Lexa

I watch as Clarke laughs taking with her Skaikru friends, it was clear that all her fear had vanished and was replaced with a happy and un scare girl.
With everyone here Clarke seemed different more free, she laughed a d messed about with her friends making others laugh, Raven had grown on me she make Clarke laugh much like Octavia, the three had become very close since coming to Polis.

With the second part of the tournament about to begin I became more fearful, I was not competing today due to the odd number but Clarke was and after what happened yesterday I fear she could get seriously hurt, though as much as I tried to get her to back down, she just insisted on competing.

Since observing all the Clans I had notice Roan still hadn't made an appearance which was quite concerning expecially with Ontari running lose around polis, though she seemed different, more care free and happy as a girl her age should be the young warrior was the same age as Faye, only Sixteen a year younger then Octavia. The two girl seemed to get on well, I've watch them both and they become fast friend.

The sound of Indra's voice bring me back to the presant, I sit in the booth Clarke to my left in her own throne, I had special made for her, I can see the smile on her lips, she seemed to be enjoying the festival as have meny of the other guest.

"today in the second round of the tournament, we have 7 warriors but only 6 will fight, Azgada" She say as Ontari walks out, she face me a bows slightly out of respect I return with a smiple nod of the head. "Trikru" she say then Octavia walks out standing next to Ontari and she to bows to me, which I return in the same way as before. "Floukru" Luna jump down from the booth and join the other girls she too bows to me. "yujda" the warriors walk out to join the other bowing, before turning to face the others. "Boudalan" the warrior joined the other, he still walked with a limp from the day before. "and Skaikru" Clarke jump down before I have chance to even meet her eyes, she bows to me and stand with Octavia.

"the Tournament with begin with Azgada and Trikru" Indra says and all the other warriors clear out I watch Luna, as she walks back to her chair.

Clarke sit back next to me, I take her hand in mine and watch as Ontari and Octavia collect their weapons. The girl seem to be laughing as they talk then they both turn to me and bow in sync. There laughter replaced with concentration and determination. Ontari is the first to attack, but Octavia is quick to block her advances. They fight for some time both giving each minor injuries, both of them fighting well, when Ontari, use a move that sends Octavia flying tans Ontari is quick to holds her sword to her throat and wait for her to speak.

"Chil daun" (stand down) the older of the two brunettes say in defeat knowing that she couldn't go anywhere, Indra shakes her head in disappointment, she didn't want to loss against Azgada of all clan but here they are defeated but the young yet telented warriors.

"Azgada wins" Indra scoff and Ontari helps Octavia to her feet both girls extange laughs as the walk out together, there deep in conviction going on about the event of the battle I presume.

"next is Skaikru and Floukru" panic hit me like a bullet to the chest. Luna would destroy Clarke in a matter of seconds, I look over as Luna drops from where she was sat, I look at Clarke catching her eyes which seem to be filled with frustration as she watches Luna.

"be careful Hodnes" I say and Clarke jumps down from where she sat and joins Luna in the arena. Both of them bow before me and I nod my head signaling for the to start.

Luna way quick to attack instantly taking Clarke of guard causing her to stumble but she got her self stubble, I can see both girls lips moving as they speak but I can not hear what they discuss but with the anger in Clarke eyes and the shock on Luna face, I'm sure it's not good. Soon Clarke is the one with the shocked expression in that moment Lund slice her with her sword making Clarke bleed. The sight of Clarke bleeding made my blood boil, though it shouldn't it's a tournament, warrior are bound to get hurt and bleed, but still I struggle to contain my anger.
Clarke return the attack but leave her left side open which Luna quickly use against her, Clarke sword falls from her hand and she look shook for a moment before flying at Luna with her fist as she dose Luna grabs her arm and flips Clarke on her back then places her sword firmly against Clarke's troat, causing blood to trickle down her neck.
