Roan and I see Clarke walking away from Jasper and Bellamy, but I shoot an arrow at him. Roan has been training nonstop since our last encounter with Ontari. I've been trained with bow and arrows, spear throwing, sword fighting, even shooting a gun. The one skill that surprised Roan is my physical fist fighting. The power behind my punches shocked him.

"Roan? Skyla?" Clarke gasps when she sees us.

"Looks like we're not the only ones who have been following your tracks." Roan says.

"Give that back." Clarke says.

"Goodbye, Wanheda." Roan says.

"Wait!" She exclaims and pulls a gun to us both.

I pull out my sword, which is blood stained already. "You have a real gratitude problem. You know that?"

"Would you guys hear me out?" Clarke asks. "I need to find a Nightblood to put that in."

"We already have a Nightblood to put it in." Roan speaks, I've left my people for my grounder.

"Please, just stop." Clarke says.

"Because of you, Ontari will never ascend, so, no, I won't stop, not until Ice Nation has its commander."

Bellamy appears and he has a gun pointed at Roan.

"Skyla, stand down." Roan tells me.

"Hands where I can see them, both of you." Bellamy demands, and we listen, Bellamy sees all the blades and the small gun I carry. "You ok?" Bellamy asks Clarke. "Oh and Skyla, I signed a paper. Our marriage is no more."

"I accept that." I reply.

"Yeah." Clarke replies.

"Then let's go." Bellamy says.

"They're coming with us." Clarke sats.

"The hell they are." Bellamy snaps.

"Why would we do that?" Roan asks/

"Because we want the same thing..... To put the Flame in Ontari."

"How do we know he's not chipped?" Bellamy asks.

"If we were, do you think he'd have saved me?" Clarke asks.

"Still, we need to be sure." Bellamy says and he shoots Roan in the arm.

I whip put my shower, which is longer than my old one, and Bellamy's eyes widen.

"Now we're sure."

"Oh, Wanheda, it wasn't me who saved you." Roan says. "Skyla cares for you all still; she saved you."

"She shot a arrow?" Clarke gasps, Bellamy looks at me.... Impressed.

"He has trained me everyday since our last encounter with Ontari." I reply. "I'm good."

"Glad you made it back." Monty says

"We were getting worried." Raven says. "Where's Luna? SKYLA!"

Raven tackles me in a hug then sees Roan. "Who the hell is this?"

"He's Ice nation." Miller points out. "Hey, Skyla, good to see you. Nice weaponry."

"King of the Ice Nation, actually, and he's our way to Polis." Clarke says.

"This way, your Highnesses." Bellamy says. "You two, on me. We'll take them to lockup."

"Sorry about your arm." Bellamy says as we walk away.
