Lexa POV Three months after Mount Weather In Poils the capital of the Coalition.

It has been three months since I betrayed Clark, and not a minute goes by that I don't regret what I did but I know that it was best for my people. I was still angry at the fact that I will not be able to get justice for all the peoples the mountain men killed, but with peace between us I hope that it will be worth the trouble, because I sacrificed one enemy for another. One that had no coral with us and just wanted to be left alone. I start to think about what will happen once the mountain men finish with the Shycrew if they will still honer the agreement we made. No one else knows but my people were not the only thing I wanted in the deal. I told the mountain men's leader that in exchange for the sky people I want my people free and Clark spared once they are done with the Skycrew, and for her to be returned to me once they are finished. But it has been three months and they still have not returned her. I finally told Indra about this and she was very mad but once I explained to her that Clark saved my life multiple times and it would be dishonorable of me to not try and save her. She finally understand what I did, being the honorable person that she is and understanding that you should always repay a life det. I finally decided that I should pay a visit to the mountain and see what is the delay. Indra requested me to have scouts sent head to make sure it is safe before I leave Poils. So I sent my best scouts head by one day and then left the next day. If he even thinks about not honoring the deal with his acid fog disabled their is nothing stopping me form attacking them with my army.

Near Mount Weather
As we approach Mount Weather my scout comes running back to us.

Heda you must come quick something has happened their. He said very exhausted from running so fast.

Slow down what has happened? I tell him calmly.

When I got near to mountain, the door was open and I could smell the stanch of death. So I went inside and followed the smell it lead me to a room that was covered with dead body's rotting away. I got out of their quick to warn you he explained to me.

After a second to process what he just told me I became very nervous that the mountain people didn't honor the deal. Take me there now. I told him very loudly.

Right away Heda. He responded

We finally got the big metal door that leads into the mountain. I now know what he meant by the smell, it was terrible. I can't imagine what it will be like inside. I was about to say something when Indra came to my side and spoke.

Heda it is obvious that no one survived, we don't have to go in there. She tells me.

Even if Clark is dead she deserves a proper burial and we will give her one. It is the least we can do for helping us rescue our people and saving my life. She replies with a yes Heda and I turn around to look at every one else that came with me. "All right listen up we are here to look for Clark of the Skykrew, and if she is in here then we will lay her to rest for the help she provided in rescuing our people. As I spoke I had to try with all my might to not let my emotions show. I wanted to cry for my lost but I can't look weak in front of my men. Love is weakness I kept repeating in my head. Clark is the only one since Costia that I have felt love for and just like her I let her get hurt. First the Ice Nation and now the Mountain Men. I should just give my happiness up and close myself off from all other emotions and just be Commander Lexa nothing more, nothing less. As we advance into the mountain looking for Clark body I notice that all the of the bodies we have past so far were mountain men that appeared to have died from what Clark told me was radiation poisoning. But I thought the mountain men were fixing this problem by using the Skykrew. I was brought out of my thoughts once we reached the 5th floor. Once my guards opened the door I was speechless and couldn't believe my eyes, all over the floor were bodies of women, children, elderly, and adults. On a closer look they were all in mountain men clothing. It then dawned on me that the Skykrew must have been successful in getting their people back. But if that's the case why didn't Clark try and contact me. If she won would she want to gloat about it. Once I exited the mountain a worrier from Ton DC was waiting for me and Indra.

Heda you have returned, I guess you are here to see the work of the Wanheda. Replies the worrier.

Wanheda? I say to him questionably.

Yes Heda,the Wanheda Clark of Skykrew she is one of the most feared person in the land, next to you of course. We sent a messenger to Poils to tell you months ago but you were busy to he told Titis who should have told you by now.

Titis new about this the entire time and never told me, the thought of this made me angry I will have to deal with him when I get back. Where is Clar I mean Wanheda now? I ask the worrier.

She is in Arkedia now and the leader, we do tread with them but be warned she will not hesitate to kill you if you disrespect her. He told me seriously.

Thank you I tell him, I turn to Indra and say "it looks like we are going to Arkedia.
