"I'm not alone anymore."

The night had brought a chill with it. Even with a jacket on, the air still found a way to freeze her, leaving her almost shuddering.

Beside her, Octavia's breath was uneven. Maybe due to the cold air, or their walking speed, she couldn't quite figure it out.

Although the temperature or the pace was not a problem anymore. The two of them had grown accustomed to this routine they had established. Every night when dark fell, they snuck out of camp and went to visit their grounder friends. And in the morning they would be back before anyone woke up, as if they never even left.

This night though, both of them were heading to Darius' cave, seeing as he was away, Reyna wanted to show Octavia around.

The entrance of the sanctuary hidden deep in the rocks soon came into view. The two made it inside with ease, with Reyna knowing the place like the back of her hand.

As they entered, Reyna's eyes danced with delight, taking in the sight of Darius' extensive collection of weapons. "Octavia," she exclaimed, her voice filled with glee, "prepare to be amazed!"

"Wow." Octavia's eyes were as wide as the moon, scanning every corner of the spacious area Reyna had led her to. The wall with the weapons took most of her attention and she gazed at it with adoration written all over her face, "I've never seen this many weapons before."

"I can ask him to teach you how to use them as well." Reyna inched closer to Octavia and swung a hand over her shoulder, "The bow's the most difficult, but the rest are pretty easy once you get used to them."

She led Octavia through the rows of gleaming swords, axes, and maces. Each weapon bore the marks of countless battles, each telling its own story. "This," she said, pointing at a massive broadsword, "is Darius' favorite weapon."

Moving along, Reyna reached for a beautifully adorned longbow. Its elegant craftsmanship and intricate engravings caught the light, casting a dazzling display across the room. "Look at this, Octavia," she exclaimed, her voice brimming with excitement. "Darius knows how to use this better than I do. Much better actually, I'm still learning."

And so Reyna went on about the various weapons showcased on the wall, going in detail as Octavia listened carefully. Everything she knew she'd learned from Darius and she was eager to share it with her friend.

After every weapon was described in extensive detail, the two made themselves at home, laying down on the bed while swiping through various books that had been laying on the table.

They were laughing when someone cleared their throat. Both girls jumped up, a book clattering to the floor with the abrupt motion.

Darius stood on the other side of the room, right by the entrance, glancing from Reyna to Octavia, "And who might this be?" He didn't ask it as a threat or anything such. He was curious. Politely interested.

"I'm Octavia." The girl offered him her hand and to Reyna's surprise he shook it.

"Darius."
