The Battles - The 100 b3

Chapter 3

Ye Who Enter Here

Bellamy Voice Over: "We were born in space. They told us the ground was uninhabitable, but they were wrong, and we've been fighting for our lives since the moment we landed. Some of us have been broken by it, but most of us are still here, searching for other survivors from the Ark, trying to build something real and lasting out of the wilderness... a home. Our leaders believe that to survive, we need to make peace with the Grounders, but peace is a foreign concept here."

Beth's POV

Polis

I stood in the throne room with the Ambassadors from the Klan's, debating on whether or not I wanted to go talk to Clarke. Lexa was in there now, talking with the Klan's.

"Rise gon your Heda." Titus says as Lexa walks in. We all bow, besides the Ice Nation Ambassador.

"Azgeda will bow fou your Heda." Titus demands, seeing the man not bowing.

"Heda beda bow fou Azgeda. Osir know nou kom make treaties kom our enemies." The man says in Trigedasleng.

"The Heda bows gon no won." Titus says to him.

"Stand down, Titus." Lexa tells him. Titus stands down. "Ambassador." Lexa says

"Em even prefers the enemies sleng. Em has won gon em as her second." The man says, sending me a glare. I place a hand on my sword, getting ready to pull it out if needed.

"And you will use it, too, in honor of our guests this evening." Lexa tells him. "Now sit. We have more important matters to discuss."

Yes, we do." The man says. "For example, why is Wanheda still alive? If this is your weakness again, Azgeda will happily step in."

"Is that why your army has moved so close to Polis because you believe the Commander is weak?" 

"Oh, those are just military exercises." The man answers.

"Exercises? You crossed the border into Trikru land, an army within striking distance of our beloved capital." Indra says to him from her spot standing next to me. 

"A mistake that was quickly rectified, as you well know."

"The Ice Queen doesn't make mistakes. She makes threats." Titus says. 

"There's no need to argue about this again." Lexa tells them. "Please come join me. Let us speak in private." Lexa says to the man. I give her a look, my hand still on my sword. She nods slightly at me, causing me to remove the grip from my sword. "I have a message for Queen Nia." They walk to the balcony.

"And I'll happily deliver..." The man says.

My eyes slightly widen as Lexa kicks him off the balcony leaving the Ice Nation ambassador falling to his death, screaming. I smirk slightly. "Would anyone else care to question my decisions?" No one answers her. "Good. Then let's begin."

"How is Lincoln?" Lexa asks, later that night as she walks up to me as I sat in the room I had been given for when I am here.

I sigh "He's okay. He's trying to fit in at Arkadia but people there, they're assholes. Granted they haven't kicked him out yet and put a kill order on him."

Lexa gives me a look and sighs. "Beth-"

"I know. He betrayed you. For me. I'm sorry." I say to her.
