Beautiful Tragedy

Two

Third Person POV

With Clarkes plan in place, Jaha returns Ontari's body wrapped in cloth to the Ice Nation, where Echo and other Azgeda warriors await the King's recovery.

"He has the commander." Azgeda warrior announces to Echo.

"Ontari belongs with her people." Jaha says evenly

"Put her with the others." Echo commands, "And show him how Ice Nation repays a favor to the bringer of the Key."

After one of the guards takes hold of the wrapped body, a few warriors attack Jaha, bringing him to the floor

It wasnt long after the beating started another Azgeda guard named Seiku comes through with news.

"Skaikru is surrenduring."

"Guard the king." Echo say standing. "The rest, on me. And bring him too." She says gesturing to the now beaten man on the floor.

The warriors detain Jaha and Echo lead them to where Kane, Indra, and Skaikru Guards are waiting. She orders her warriors to release Jaha, to which he falls over due to pain.

"Tell them I only talk to Bellamy." Echo tells the beaten man as he struggles to his feet to get to the others.

Indra looks up to reveal Bellamy, who is positioned at a high window, with a gun, peering over the scene. Jaha approaches Kane who has his hands out to support Jaha's weak posture

"It worked." Jaha rasps out. "She's in."

A blade then rips through the cloth revealing that it is not Ontari, but in fact Octavia. She quietly views the Healer tending the King, before sliding along the floor taking out two warriors. Octavia then uses a spear from one of the dead warriors to instantly kill the Healer. After, she unlocks a door allowing Clarke and Abby inside.

"The King's on the table." She tells them as they walk through.

Clarke, used to Octavia's skills, quickly enters and tends to Roan. Abby enters, clearly astonished yet highly amused at Octavia's handiwork.

"Well, go save him." Octavia urges Abby closing the door behind them.

The sooner they got this done, the sooner she could go back to her sister.

Night falls over Polis, by the time John and Cammie approach Bellamy, Kane, and Indra who are discussing Skaikru's surrender terms.

"I don't like this John." Cammie tells him, eyeing Skaikru warily

"Bellamy's right there." He says letting go of her hand. "Just wait here." He says leaving her a few feet away from where the others were grouped together.

"She's Ice Nation." Indra reminds them. "She can't be trusted."

"Never a dull moment, huh?" John calls out making his presence known

"Bellamy, pay attention." Indra snaps at him. "I know you're worried for Kayleigh, but she's smart and resourceful-

"Where is Kayleigh?" John questions but Indra continues as if he never spoke.

"You need to focus on the here and now. Echo's part of the royal guard. She's the one shot Asher with a poisoned arrow.. One of their spies. That's why she's not marked. Very dangerous, very loyal.. "

Bellamy let's or a snort. "Not to the people who saved her life."

"Again. Where's Kayleigh?"

"Sent her back to camp." Marcus tells John before turning back to Bellamy. "I know how you feel about her, but you can't lose control. You offer them technology, guns, whatever it takes to keep her talking. Is that clear?"
