Eternity

Chapter 5

Lexa

I woke up early like I usually do. I slowly moved out of the bed not disturbing my wife in her deep sleep. I wore my black body hugging suit as I prepare myself for my morning training. Ever since Clark left I couldn't sleep as peacefully as before.. Ofcourse Costia didn't know about it cause I didn't want to worry her. That's why I poured all my energy to my trainings. Indra and Anya was always there to help me get through it all. To contain my emotions back then.. till I'm used to it. I jogged towards the field every soldiers greeted me with a bow and I slightly nod to them. I moved further inside the forest but stopped within the entrance of the clearing. I held my breath and didn't expect the last person that I wanted to see. She stood at the end of the clearing wearing her white night gown who swayed and her long golden hair were caressed by the wind. She was looking up while closing her eyes feeling the rays of the sun. She looked enchantingly beautiful.. I felt my heart beat and I immediately clenched my chest. No.. Not anymore.. I heard someone called her name and I hid at the big trunk of the tree. "Clarkkk!!!there you are I'm looking everywhere for you!!! You shouldn't be walking wearing a fucking night gown!!! Remember you are not in Arkadia.!!!" i heard Octavia scolding her. "I'm sorry I just wanna welcome the sun Octavia and it felt great.." she answered. Her voice.. It was beautiful as I can remember.. "oh shut up.. Seriously if you knew how drunk you were last night I swear you are going to jump in this cliff. Now common we have to get you ready." Octavia said. I clenched my hand trying to repressed different emotions. Not again Lexa.. Please hold it together. I quietly moved away. I need to remove all this tensions inside my body.

Luna

Fireworks began to stain the blue sky and cheers from the people while waving unity flags supporting our sports festival reigned the stadium. We were at the opened field ready to open the program. Lexa seated the higher center of the stage with her wife while other leaders such as me seated at our designated seats circling the field. Then drums began to raise their beats. Performers danced at the center then warriors marched acknowledging the Royals. Titus moved at the center "Ladies and gentlemen, Lords and Ladies, Prince and Princess and Kings and Queens all over the Land welcome to the first day of our Unity celebration. The first day which we all know will be filled with physical activities. Each kingdom should compete to honor each one's loyalty and friendship. To peace we reign!!"he said making everyone clap and said in unison" To peace we reign!!. " " Now let us begin.. The first game will be a friendly battle one on one.. Kings and Queens please select your warriors.. "Titus said. I removed my Cape and volunteered myself. I saw Lexa doing the same thing I caught her eyes then I smiled and nod. She also nod in response while the handmaidens removed her crown. I saw Costia reaching Lexa's arm, her face showed worry. I almost rolled my eyes then I remembered the revelation last night.. If all this is a misunderstanding then Lexa would really fucking hate herself when that time comes. "Players please come down.." Titus signalled. People went wild as we walked towards Titus. I scanned my opponents and saw Roan representing his mother, Calien on his father's behalf, some generals represent their Kings and Queens and.. "What the hell are you doing here?!" i almost shouted as I saw Clark walking towards us wearing her combat light blue suit. Her hair was braided at the back. She looked beautiful but my eyes almost pop knowing she will be one of my opponents. "I'm participating" she answered while readjusting her gloves. "seriously?" i asked in disbelief. Lexa arrived and completed the circled. Her brows scrunched as she saw Clark who is calmly standing and waiting for instructions. Lexa turned to me with a questioning look and I just shrug my shoulders cause I was fucking confused also. "Titus.." Lexa called then the bald man immediately moved closer to the grounder Queen. She talked to him in hushed tone and she seemed pissed off. "Clark you might hurt yourself in this game you can participate in some other activities.. Where's Octavia?" I tried to convince her. "Over there.. Look Luna I know what I'm doing no need to worry." She answered then smiled. I heavily sighed, I saw Titus walking towards Clark "ahm your highness this game is a bit violent so if you want to back down you can ask for a replacement now." he said and seemed nervous. "I can handle this Titus.." Clark stubbornly answered then the bald man walked away in defeat. "as you wish.." he whispered before turning away and facing the crowd. I saw Lexa's face looking displeased. Everybody cheered for us but I fear for Clark. "This game is hand to hand combat you can use sticks but sharp objects are not allowed. Before the game starts one player should pick one ball and activate it. This ball contains different holographic scenes where you will battle. Each player will be given bands, your goal is to remove it from your opponent and protect yours. The winner of the game will be assigned to protect the flame.. . " Everyone gasp knowing what the prize was. The flame was always protected here in Trikru for centuries, it would be an honor to a kingdom having it. It is a symbol of power and I'm sure everyone would do anything to get their hands on it." Alright.. LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!" the crowd went wild and we moved at the side. "Clark whatever happens safety first okay? Removed your band if you have to.. I know the players would not treat this as a friendly competition anymore knowing the prize.." i warned her as the servants put bands on our arms and trackers. "yes I know.." she said in serious tone. I heavily sighed due to her stubbornness. I turned to Lexa in defeat but her face in unreadable. I gave her signals to talk to Clark about this but she just ignored it. God I'm gonna kill her.. Even in a one tiny bit.. Even as a friend she didn't show concern towards her ex wife. I frustratedly sighed I hate this if she only knew.

Anya

"what the hell is she doing there?!? Octavia replace her now!!!" i basically screamed in hysterical as I saw Clark in the field. Octavia sighed in defeat then answered "don't you think I already tried that and gone with that phase..she fucking locked me in this chair!!!" while she showed her right hand bound to the chair with cuffs. I was shocked and later on couldn't helped laugh, Octavia huffed due to irritation then crossed her arms." that kid.. "i said in half breath while laughing." stubborn as always.. "Octavia commented.
As Titus began to draw opponents the fight began. Holographic numbers began to project  counting down from 1 to 10 then the signal was released. The representatives really played rough without hesitation then the time came where Lexa and Luna battled together. They were both strong warriors and took time to defeat one. Lexa was trained when she was old enough to walk, her first kill was when she was still 4years of age and her first war at 6years of age, no one can compare her battle skills through out the land. She ruled the most powerful kingdom when she reached her 18 years of age and she have done it so well. That's why she gained the peoples respect and loyalty. I saw Luna was already on top of Lexa ready to grab her band but before she could even get hold of it Lexa rolled over, pinned her down to the ground and in just one swift grabbed Luna's band then flipped in the air then landed smoothly on the ground leaving Luna shocked. "Queen Alexandria of Trikru wins!!!" Titus announced which made the crowd gone wild. I saw Lexa offered her hand to Luna while smirking. She accepted her hand and shake her head in disbelief while whispering something to her. The two walked towards the side as another players set on the center. I look at Clark nervously who just Silently stood and watch the game. I could see Roan trying to make conversation with her but it seemed she's too focused on what was happening before her. The time came where she was selected and her opponent was one of the generals representing the dessert land. I saw Lexa straighten her back as she heard Clark's name being called. Luna seemed to try to talk sense into her but she just smiled stubbornly. "God I can't watch this.." i said half whispered. "maybe you should" Octavia said while adjusting herself on her chair. Both parties are now face to face, the general bowed down to her and she acknowledge it with a smile and a slight nod. "My Queen you can do the honors of choosing a battle scene."The general said making everyone clapped their hands and whistle to cheer the Queen." thank you general.. "Clark answered while randomly picked a ball then gave it to Titus." Players. Ready! Battle mode! "Titus shouted then throw the ball. We were in awe she selected a scene in the snowy cliff. She remained in her position and without a second the general was already attacked her with the stick. I couldn't help but stand as I watched Clark moved smoothly  avoiding his hits. Strong wind blew making them kneeled on ground. The general used this opportunity to reach for Clark's band everyone gasp. But the Queen was able to caught his hand, pulled him down flat on the snowy ground then flipped herself in the air, landed on the generals back pushing him down further on beds of snow. He suddenly stood up throwing Clark in the process but she was able to land smoothly on the ground then without hesitation she quickly ran towards him, jumped overhead while reaching his band the general was too stunned to even moved, she landed on the snowy ground then turned to her opponent and smiled. "Queen Elionoise Clark of Arkadia wins!!!!" Everyone shouted in amazement as Titus announced the winner. I just stood there stunned on what happened. The general didn't blink and just look at Clark with shocked face still remained standing and not moving. The hologram was down and she moved towards her opponent patting him on the shoulder, consoling him as they walked to the side. Luna ran towards Clark and basically tackled her, she carried and spinned her around, I'm sure she was so proud of Clark. I saw Lexa looking at Clark and even though her face remained unreadable her eyes says otherwise I know she was shocked on how her ex wife changed.. I just hope she knew everything.. I just hope they will learn to forgive each other.. I wanted to tell Lexa but I have to find out everything first. "She trained really hard day and night.. She didn't stop till she perfected every move.. You know why? Cause she doesn't want to be weak anymore.. She wanted to become a Queen that can protect her people.. Not a Queen who is protected by the people.." Octavia said while looking at Clark proudly." And she did it.. " I commented." She did.. " Octavia said half whispered.
