Aurora

"Heda there is someone who would like to meet you." Roan came bursting into the throne room

I furrow my eyebrows, "okay, who?"

"Your new Flamekeeper. She's Indra's daughter actually."

A girl wearing a brown robe and armor under came inside. She bowed in front of me.

"Heda. My name is Gaia and it is my honor to serve you as your Flamekeeper." She smiles

"Oh well it's nice to meet you. My name is Aurora." I introduce

I was still new at being Commander so I really didn't know how to act around people...

"We should start right away with teachings, Heda if you're okay with that?" Gaia asks

"That would be perfect, Seda." I nod

Gaia told me how the Commanders would communicate with me in my dreams. I told her how I mostly talk with Lexa.

"How has your combat been going?" Gaia asks

"I've been taught mostly Trikru but learned some Azgeda when fighting with Echo." I informed

Gaia seemed to cringe at the mention of Azgeda being that she's Trikru but replaced it with a smile.

"That's good, Heda. Now-"

Gaia was cut off by Tavia entering the room

"Sorry for the intrusion but thought I should let you know that everyone is destroying tech because they're afraid Alie will come back. I saw some head towards the temple." Tavia informed

Gaia quickly stood up with fear in her eyes, "Heda we must stop them!"

"Let them have at it. It'll all be gone soon anyways." I shrug

Gaia gave me a confused look before nodding, "Of course, Heda."

I had another throne brought in next to me for Roan. He was beginning to become a more trusted ally. Though I know Indra and Gaia isn't so happy about it.

I had Kane brought in so we could have a discussion with him about the radiation.

"It's been three weeks since Aurora and Clarke told me Praimfaya would once again destroy our world. Skaikru asked for time to find a solution. What do you have to show for it?" Roan questions

Both of us had been growing impatient at this point since we knew Kane was lying.

"We're still working on it. Hopefully with more time-"

"Enough. Echo!" I call out

Echo comes walking in with Bellamy and Stephens in gags then puts them on their knees.

"Stephens, Bellamy! Are you all right? What is this?" Kane asks

"Echo saw your people rebuilding your ship. She captured these two hunting in my woods. This one says it's a shelter for the radiation." Roan seethes

Bellamy gives me pleading eyes but I only nod at him.

"It's a backup plan. Nothing more."

"He said that too, just before he told us that you have a nightblood. Luna specifically. You're lucky that Luna fled from the conclave or my people would try to force a conclave, waisting more of our precious time." I remind

"You have to trust me. We discovered nightblood helps metabolize radiation. We're investigating ways to create some for everyone. Turn everyone into nightbloods. So we can all survive." Kane reassured

"Blasphemy. Nothing they tell us is true." Echo scoffs

"This is not blasphemy. It's science. If nightblood can save lives, we should use it." Kane says

Roan glances at me and I nod.

Echo slices Stephens throat, killing him.

"No!" Kane yells, catching him

"Warriors don't reveal their secretes." Echo states

"Truth is the first casualty of war. If your motives were pure, you would've shared your plan with us. Our alliance is broken. Keep them as prisoners for now." I order

The guards dragged them away while Kane shouted protests.

I hated doing this to Bellamy and Kane but they betrayed me which mean Clarke betrayed me as well.

How could they not tell us about all of this? After all that we have been through...

"We should make plans to march on Arkadia. Not to declare war, but to form a blockade so they won't be able to hunt. Once they come to terms and agree to focus on planning to find a way to save all of us, we will lift the blockade. We know damn well that ship won't be able to hold all clans." I announce

"Anyways, I'm going to go train with Indra." I say

Little did I know, Roan went behind my back and ordered Echo to kill Tavia.

___

"We're ready to march Heda. Should we bring the prisoners as hostages?" Echo asks, walking into my room

"Yes. Bring me my armor." I order

Echo helped me get dressed and I put on my war paint.

It's somewhat similar to Lexa's. I wanted it to be similar on purpose to honor her.
