When I woke up in the morning, I realized that Lincoln and Bellamy had left for the Reaper tunnels. It made me feel sorry for them because if they were caught, they would have to face the consequences of being harvested. I knew firsthand how terrible the experience was, and I didn't want anyone else to go through it.

Skaikru returned to Camp Jaha, and this time, Trikru was in our home. Indra led her people through the gate, reminding them they had a thousand warriors in the woods.

As they entered, I whispered quietly to Kane about Indra's warning. "Be careful not to upset her. There are a thousand warriors in the woods," I advised him. Although Kane didn't comprehend Indra's message, I did.

Indra led her people right up to me and Kane. "Fragheda," Indra snarled at me.

I looked at Kane. "Monin(Welcome)," he said. Indra looked at me and knew that I told him how to say it. "I thought we'd start with a reception. Then move on to training. We have a lot to learn from each other."

"Seems like you've already learned from Fragheda," Indra said.

Kane pointed to a bin next to me. "Weapons there, please. Only our guards are armed here." Kane stepped aside while Indra threw her sword in the bin followed by her knife. She didn't say anything about my weapons, but then again, she also saw me as Skaikru.

One by one, the Grounders threw down their weapons and Kane led them inside. "Thank you for agreeing to this, Indra."

"We're here on the commander's orders. I agreed to nothing." Indra held a grudge against Skaikru, but I hoped that she wouldn't start anything.

"Please. We'll begin in a moment."

Jaha stood by the door watching Indra's people walk in to discuss the plan against Mount Weather. Jaha claimed he had faith, but he thought it was a bad idea to trust the Grounders. I did too, but I wouldn't admit it.

Skaikru stood on one side of the room while Trikru stood on the other. There was a lot of tension in the room, but many people chose to ignore it.

In the corner of the room, Murphy sat holding a cup, and Kane purposely had me stand away from Murphy. "Quiet down," Kane said, and the room fell silent.

"Indra, please." Kane motioned to the center of the room. "I know we don't have a lot in common," Kane announced. "But we do have a common enemy... and a common goal. And for us to reach it, to get our people out of Mount Weather... we need to work together. Ogeda. Skaikru... en Trikru(Together. Sky People, and Tree People)." Kane motioned between the two. "We need to share our knowledge--"

Kane was cut off when Murphy shoved a Grounder and everyone went quiet. "Mr. Murphy," Kane said. "Apologize to that man." Murphy and the Grounder stared each other down.

"For what?" Murphy asked. "He was the one who came at me."

"Two days' work detail," Kane threatened.

"Work detail? I just told you I didn't--"

"Care to make it three?"

Murphy shut up, but instead of apologizing, he shook his head and stepped away. "You're gonna burn just like your friend," the Grounder said. Murphy turned around and punched the guy in the face. Others started joining in, but I couldn't tell who was on either side. I stayed back because I already had a bad reputation and didn't want to make it worse.

"Murphy!" Kane called out, but his voice was barely audible over the sound of everyone else screaming. Kane tried to get between them to stop the fight, but nothing happened. Indra just watched her people attack Skaikru.
