ALEXANDER STOOD BEFORE the brass double doors of the throne room with a calm expression on his face. He was twenty minutes late to an important meeting that Lexa advised him not to miss.
The prince took in a deep breath, and then slowly let it out; a method he used to calm himself. As soon as he did this, Alexander placed two firm hands against the doors and gave them a hard push. They flew open without any resistance, but made a loud booming sound as they collided with the wall. All the royal people in the room halted their conversations, and directed their attentions to Alexander. Every single one of them, besides Lexa and Titus, dropped to their knees at the sight of their prince.
"Please, men, on your feet." Alexander smiled. "Sorry for being late, my Heda." He spoke with repent and a bow of his head.
Lexa pursed her lips disapprovingly before commenting, "You never cease to amaze me with your punctuality."
"It is a gift." The Trikru prince smirked before taking his rightful spot in the chair on Lexa's right side. "So, what is this meeting about?"
Titus cleared his throat and took a step forward. "One of our villages," he explained, "was just massacred. Women and children slaughtered by a boy from Skaikru. His name is Finn."
"And what do we suggest we do with this Finn?" Lexa asked aloud to everyone in the room to hear. Sounds of chattering erupted among everyone in the room.
Alexander pondered over the situation at hand. All the possibilities of what they should do invaded his mind shortly after the information was given.
"I say we kill all of their people!" One of the Royal men yelled out. All the others began to holler with agreement.
Lexa and Alexander shared a familiar look. "Leave us!" The female demanded in a booming voice. It didn't take long for the unwanted men to scurry out of the throne room, and into the common area of the palace. "What do you two suggest we do?"
"I say that we meet with the head of the Skaikru. It could very well be that this Finn character went rogue." Alexander spoke.
Titus nodded, "Very wise of you Alexander. But I would have to disagree. We have to show that we are the top of all the others."
"That sounds like an appealing plan, but what if their army is better than ours? What happens if they kill most of our men?" Alexander fought back while stepping out from behind Lexa's chair.
"That is a risk that we are going to have to take. They haven't been on the ground long. They most likely know very little about the terrain."
