When night falls we march until we find a spot in the dried-up seabed to set up camp. Rations are distributed and a fire created to give us warmth and light through the camp. Sending out some scouts to map the course ahead, I sit beside Octavia as we eat our rations for the night. Reciting the mantra to honor the fallen, I pass mine on. My gaze lingers on Clarke and Bellamy, both sat to the side a watching from afar. Set up on the outskirts away from Wonkru.

"I'm sorry about my brother", Octavia murmurs quietly to me. Peering over to Octavia, she nudges me with a sympathetic smile "Miller caught up and told me."

"Of course he did", I roll my eyes with a smirk of my own "Blabbermouth." With a small shake of my head, I brush away Octavia's pity. I refuse to be the sad heartbroken girl who can't function because of a man. I'm a woman. Not a broken doll. "Who knows", I pull a playfully fake smile onto my features "Maybe I'll find myself a cute Wonkru warrior who will bring me the head of his enemy."

This brings a grin to Octavia's face, a small laugh falling from her lips. A rare sight to see these days. "Make all the jokes you want Ave", Octavia smirk remains "I know you're hurt. You waited six years for him but he couldn't do the same for you. He's a dick."
