Find Me in the Moonlight

26 ~ Lexa

"We move out tonight!" I announce to the gathering of warriors in front of me. I decided only an hour ago what our plan of attack would be on Azgeda. My armies will surround them from all sides; take out their camps one by one. By the time we reach Azgeda's main camp, I hope to find Clarke and Octavia, as well as demolishing Titus and Nia in the process. The army erupts in cheers at the news; ready to spill the blood of the enemy. I smile, satisfied.

I turn and start getting ready for the night's activity. Indra walks up to me as I get my blades unsheathed and sharpened. "Heda," she says in greeting.

"Indra, good, you are here. I presume that you have everything ready to march on Azgeda?" I look over to her, and she nods her head. "Good. Now, when we head out, Titus and Nia are mine and mine only. I wish to see them dead under my feet by my own hand. Maybe once they are dead, the rest of their army will stop and surrender. If they don't then I guess we'll just have to end those who are loyal to that rat of a queen. Yes?"

"Good enough for me. What are we to do if we find Octavia and Clarke?" She adds.

"Get them to safety immediately and then come inform me if I am not dead." I try to joke with her, knowing full well that my life will not be ended today or any other day for a long while. She doesn't seem so confident though, as I tell her this. I chuckle then, "Don't worry Indra. Everything will work out in the end."

Our horses tread through the forest as we make our way towards Azgeda's main camp. Our other armies are fighting now at the other camps I had them stationed at. It won't be long now; we will attack at first light. By then, the enemy camp will be surrounded by all the clans of my coalition.

After about two hours, we find ourselves just a stone's throw from the Ice Nation camp. I make everyone who is on a horse get off, and have my archers get up in trees to make themselves less known. As of now, we have three hours until my armies will come at Azgeda from all sides.

Clarke's POV

Rilond brought a finger to his lips, motioning for me to be quiet as we went through the woods. Wherever this clearing is that he's taking me, I hope it isn't far. Getting through this small patch of wooded forest isn't easy, especially when there's an entire army after your *cough* secret *cough* girlfriend and possibly you too.

He points to somewhere up ahead; the Ice Nation army is marching nearby. I frown and look up at him. "We need to stay here for a little bit; wait until it is safe to continue," he tells me. I nod my head and sit on the ground.

"How much farther until we reach Lexa?" I ask quietly.

"Not too much farther I believe. But depending on how long it takes the army to proceed, we may be here a while." I roll my eyes, but I have to be grateful considering Rilond just saved me from death.

"What about Octavia?" I continue. "Have you gotten her out yet?"

He looks angered by this point. Me asking a lot of questions when we need to keep an eye on the army in front of us is probably not the best way to go. "I have not gotten her to your people, but she is out of harm's way. Don't fret over her. Now be quiet unless you really want to die." I sigh and nod my head. This is going to be a long wait.

SUPER short filler chapter. Next one will be long and eventful!
