FALO DIDN'T THINK THE CAMP WAS AS BIG AS IT WAS. It could be as big as TonDC, but it wasn't. From the outside, it didn't look like much but on the inside it was a lot bigger and the people had done a lot to make this place look how it was.

As she walked in front of Indra and the others, she ignored the looks Skaikru gave her and her people. She didn't mind it, because Lexa gave her an order to go with Indra to the Skaikru camp to make sure Skaikru was honoring their side of the alliance.

"Melon op, blinka au," Indra shouted to everyone, her hand on her sword. "Mema oso du bilaik hed op thauz gona kamp raun trigeda."

Falo nodded as she and the others walked down the path towards the building that towered high above everyone else, armed Skaikru guards right behind them, which caused Falo to tense her muscles.

Soon enough, Marcus had stopped them from walking.

"Monin," he greeted. "I thought we'd start with a reception, and then move onto training. We have a lot to learn from each other."

Falo smiled at him. He had certainly learned that while Lexa kept him and his friend, Jaha, prisoners. It was refreshing to see foreigners speak it.

Marcus pointed to a bin. "Weapons there please, only our guards are armed here."

Falo gave a nod as she unsheathed her sword, along with the others before they threw them into the bin.

Soon enough, Falo and the others followed Marcus into the ship.

Marcus made pointless talk with Indra as Falo looked around the place. Never in her entire life had she seen such cool mechanics, or anything like that. The closest things they had to mechanics was the metal poles located near the ocean.

She tried to ignore the glares, but it was honestly hard. These people angered her to the core, she wanted to kill the people who looked at them funny, they were getting on her nerves already.

Falo stopped beside a pair of grounders, crossing her arms.

Falo gazed off on accident, meeting the face of a familiar man, she'd sworn she had seen him before realization hit her.

He was the boy they had tortured for information, he broke within a couple days which made it easier for the grounders to do what they had to do to try to kill Skaikru, which failed. He told them his name was John Murphy.

"I know we don't have a lot in common, but we do have a common enemy, and a common goal." Marcus said.

Falo continued to stare intently at John, her gaze full of wonder. John's gaze slowly drifted over to Falo, his face dropping when he saw her staring at him.

Then she watched in amusement as one of the grounders within the room marched up to John Murphy, his face contorted with pure, mindless rage.

"Mr. Murphy. Apologize to that man."  Marcus ordered.

"For what? He was the one who came at me?" He rolled his eyes.

"Two days work detail."

"Work detail? I just told you I didn't-"

"Care to make it three?"

Falo sighed deeply, feeling bad for Murphy, but she brushed it off.

A minutes went by before the grounder and Murphy went at it.

She shook her head and focused on her feet.

"NOUMOU!" Indra said. "Yo beda don kep bida ufnos na ron op gon homplei. Ai ge tel op bilaik nou dina kamp raun oso luson."

Falo followed Indra with the others behind her, her stomach growling in hunger. A girl then approached Falo with a look on her face.

"Time for one more?" She asked.

"Step aside, sky girl. We're hungry." Indra sighed.

"Make me."

Indra looked back at everyone, her eyes instantly locking with Falo's. "Give this girl what she wants."

Falo slowly nodded as she unsheathed her sword, lifting it up to inspect the sharpness of the blade.

She quickly glanced around the forming crowd, suddenly locking eye contact with Raven, who had concern and worry written all over her face.

The pair circled around each other as Falo tore her gaze from Raven.

"Let's do this." Falo whispered.

The girl was too quick to come at Falo, it was easy to see what her movements were going to be, what her fighting technique was.

Falo immediately blocked her hit and kneed her in the stomach, causing her to double over in pain. Falo kicked her down to the ground, putting her foot on her neck for a moment before she began to walk away.

"Hey!" The girl began to say, out of breathe. "Are you going to give up that easily?"

Falo drew her eyebrows together, sparing a quick glance at the girl.

"She wants more, oblige her." Indra sighed.

Falo nodded and turned back to the girl. The girl stood back up and drew her sword again. Like the time before, Falo was quick to intercept her hit, holding her sword in place before Falo swept the girl to the ground and hit her shoulder with the butt of her sword, knocking her down even more. Falo then backed away, throwing her sword to the side and waiting for the girl to come at her.

The girl took a deep breath before she finally stood back up without picking up her own sword. The girl went at Falo again, only for Falo to side step her and hit the girl in her nose with her elbow, causing her knees to buckle. The girl's head flew back as blood trickled down her nose before she finally fell to the ground.

With a sigh, Falo looked at the girl. "What is your name?"

"O-Octavia." She groaned.

"Okay. . . now get up."

Octavia did as she was ordered and stood back up, wiping the blood from her nose.

"Indra," Kane began. "Stop this."

Indra ignored him as she locked eyes with Falo. "Finish this."

Falo nodded and waited for Octavia to come at her again.

Octavia threw in a bunch of punches and each time Falo blocked it, hitting the punches away from her body.

When Octavia threw one last punch, she managed to hit Falo before Falo kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying back down into the mud.

Octavia went to get up until Falo put her foot on her throat, causing Octavia to claw at it in pain and fear Falo would kill her right now.

"Don't. Even a fool like you knows when to quit." she snapped.

With that, Falo backed away from her and walked away with Indra to get some food.
