Another Time, Another Place

The Prophecy Part 2

Lexa woke up, unsure of what the day would bring. She wasn't sure still, how she felt about the prophecy, did she really want her children to have to live the life she had. She had discussed it with Clarke, yesterday, at least their children would not be discouraged from taking a partner, because they will need to continue the family line.

Caspian started to whimper and Lexa wanted Clarke to continue to rest, so got up and changed and feed him. "How do you feel little man, one day you could be commander. I hope if it's you, it's easier on you, than it was me."

Caspian just gurgled up at her, holding Lexa's finger tight.

"You are so beautiful with him, my love," Clarke smiled looking at her wife and son. Clarke walks over to her wife and child and kisses Caspian on top of his head, before kissing Lexa passionately. "I can't get enough of seeing you two interact."

"Good morning my beautiful wife, I feel the same when I you with him. Are you ready for breakfast?" Lexa asked.

"Sounds good, my love," Clarke said, "we have some interviews for Nurse Maids today, will you be around or would you like me to make a decision?"

"I am sorry, princess, I need to deal with this prophecy today. It's really concerning, I can't decide how I feel about our children, being the next Heda." Lexa said.

"I understand, Lex, I trust you to do whatever you think is right, I just don't know if we really have a choice, I think we may just have to prepare them as best as we can. At least there won't be a conclave." Clarke said.

"You are probably right my love, but I still need to see if there is anything I can do. It's weird, that you are more accepting of this than I am." Lexa said.

"We can only protect them so much, Lex, we live in a world that is extremely dangerous, all we can do is prepare them as best as we can. At least no-one will try sending their soulmate to another universe." Clarke said.

Lexa laughed, "well yes, there is that."

Breakfast was served and Lexa left to see Titus and Gaia at Titus cell.

Lexa walked into the cell area. Gaia was waiting outside of Titus' cell.

"Heda," Gaia greeted.

"Heda, it is an honour," Titus said.

"Elder Ebony Kom Sankru, told me there was a prophecy relating to my family, now that we have a son, what do either of you know about this?"

"Yes, Heda there is and I would like to apologize, that my ignorance almost caused you to loose your soulmate. I see now the error of my ways, in never occured to me that you would fullfill the prophecy, as wrong as I am, I assumed it would be a male and female bonding, that would fullfill the prophecy."

"That is really ignorant, Titus, Clarke and I always planned to adopt children, but as it turns out Abby Kom Skaikru, discovered an old world method which allows Clarke to be pregnant with a child that will be biologically mine, as well as hers. Now tell me about this Prophecy." Lexa said angrily.

"Bekka Pramheda, wrote of a time of change, that would come for our people. It would be lead by the one known as "hedakwin", and her equal. They would forge peace and bring about changes, that would see our people be prosperous and safe. Hedakwin, would be the incarnate of the Love god, her love for her people, would see her do everything necessary to improve their lives, including making changes and new laws. Breaking cycles of pain and eliminating those who wish to go against the changes, to improve her people's lives. She would essentially be the protector. It is said her equal, would be in the form of her soulmate. Her soulmate, would be an incarnate of the god of war. This was not to say that the soulmate, would always want war, it means the soulmate, would know how to win battles, even those that they were not expected to win, and avoid battles for the betterment of our people. Their children are said to be the only ones strong enough and wise enough to lead our people forward and maintain the peace and prosperity. It is said, we will know the chosen one, she will rule for many years more than the average Heda, She will bring Peace to all of her people, she will change rules to improve our way of life, she will bind herself to her soulmate and with in one full cycle of the moon, from her bonding, a child will come to this union and be claimed by the Heda. You, Hedakwin, along with your Kwin, have literally fullfilled all of these." Titus said.

"Why was I not taught this, when I became Heda? And what does it mean for the future?" Lexa questioned, in shock, because she too realized she and Clarke were the ones spoken about.

"If Hedas were taught of this prophecy, unworthy Hedas may try to pretend to fullfill the prophecy." Titus explained.

"Yes, that makes sence." Lexa replied.

"As for what this means for the future, you, your wife and any children are now considered the royal line and whom ever you select to succeed you, will be Heda upon your death, your other children, will have other roles in our society. The natblidas will be dismissed, to continue their training in their home villages or they can stay here to train, they will no longer face a conclave and will have high positions, if they choose. Alot, will probably become generals. The hedakwin and the kwin, will also assemble a high council, to take care of minor clan issues, so they can devote the majority of their time to raising future leaders. The natblidas, would be excellent candidates for this, if they choose to remain in Polis. If your bloodline, fails to produce an heir, at some time in the future, the new Heda would be chosen from the natblidas line." Titus continued.

"I can't believe all this, well I guess we don't have a choice, but to implement this. Gaia you are prepared for Caspian's name day and introduction to the clans feast, I assume," Lexa said and Gaia nodded. "Find out if there is anything we need to do, in regards to this."

"Hedakwin, I would like to offer my services, to travel to the clans and explain the prophecy and the changes, in relation to it. I know I failed you and our Kwin, but it won't happen again Hedakwin. I realize now my failure to you both and I wish to pledge my fidelity to you and our Kwin and of course the young prince. I won't let you down Hedakwin and it will make the transition more efficient. I know I can't be Fleimkepa again, I don't deserve the role, but liaison between the crown and the keepers, will allow me to use my knowledge to assist the transition." Titus proposed.

"Titus, you sent my soulmate to another universe." Lexa said not believing his nerve.

"Yes, Hedakwin and I can't tell you how much regret, I have now that I understand. No-one knows why I am no longer Fleimkepa, because it was kept quiet, that you were both missing. It would be an easy transition for our people and they still trust me. And if I ever so much as look at your Kwin or children wrong, I will happily allow you to take off my head and feed me to the animals, my soul to be trapped on earth forever."

Lexa thinks for a minute, "I will consider it and discuss it with my Kwin, finish training Gaia. If we decide to accept your offer, it will be announced at Caspian's feast. You both have your orders. I will retire to my chambers and discuss all this with my Kwin." Lexa said before stalking out of the cells and back to their chambers.
