FALO AND OCTAVIA WERE IN THE MUDPIT, circling one another as she was trying to teach the sky girl how to fight.
"Make sure you're not quick when fighting because that always reveal what your next move is. Got it?" Falo raised her sword as Octavia nodded. "Okay. . . we've been doing this for an entire day and today counts as the second day. I've taught you everything I know except for what I just told you. So now. . . we can duel again."
Octavia nodded as they continued to circle one another.
The two sprung at each other, clanking their swords and blocking each other from being able to hurt them or anything.
The two had been practicing for an entire day now, today was the second day, but today they were also leaving for TonDC.
Falo jabbed her into her stomach, causing her to hunch over in pain, clutching even more on her sword.
Octavia looked up and they circled each other again, their gazes fixated on one another's faces.
Falo swung first, cutting at her. Octavia blocked the hit sharply and pushed Falo's sword away before she slapped Falo's cheek with the butt of the blade.
Startled, Falo stepped back. She smiled at Octavia and they began to circle one another again. Octavia went to slap her blade aside, only for Falo to step away.
They went to swing at each other at the same time, holding their blades down as they blocked at the same time, the metal clanking against the metal.
Falo reacted first, using hands and sword grip to pry Octavia's sword from her hands. She let it go and grabbed Falo about the shoulders and drove her knee up. Falo twisted just in time, taking the blow to her thigh. It was surprisingly painful.
She elbowed Octavia in the neck before punching her in the stomach, causing her to hunch over. Falo then turned around and picked up her sword.
The two went to duel again, their swords already at the ready as they circled one another yet again.
The Skaikru girl swung first, the Trikru girl received the blow with the butt of her blade. In that instant she turned and went to go swing when Octavia suddenly swept Falo from her feet, knocking the wind out of her as she pointed her blade at Falo's chest.
"Thank you," she smiled, holding our her hand to Falo. "I've been learning from the best. . . but I know that you've been going easy on me."
Falo laughed. "You're not wrong."
Chuckling, she took Octavia's hand and allowed her to yank her up from the ground.
Indra approached two, both of them oblivious as Falo picked up her sword from the ground.
"We're leaving for TonDC in five. Be ready." Indra told the pair.

FALO followed behind Lexa and Clarke into the trees, her hands behind her back as they whispered to each other after they'd just stopped whisper yelling at the other.
When they arrived, Falo was haopy when she saw how everyone was full of joy, laughing and smiling despite that they were in war with the Mountain Men, but then that smile fell when Lexa told her to follow her and Clarke.
"Falo."
She looked up at Lexa, snapping her out of her thoughts, only to realize Clarke was gone.
"Yes?"
"How are you holding u-"
Falo cut her off, hearing an intense sound from above. "What's that sound?" Lexa shrugged.
The two of them looked up just in time to see a bright orange light coming right towards them at a rapid speed.
"Lexa, run!" Falo yelled, their feet quickly moving away from the treeline.
But sadly, they weren't fast enough, the missile had hit TonDC, and it blasted them further onto a hill.

FALO woke up to a ringing noise in her ears and her head pounding. She laid on the ground, staring at the blurry sky as she regained herself.
A small blur clouded her vision, along with the wind picking up some smoke and carrying it into the woods.
She let out a pained groan as she pushed herself up off the ground, her entire arm throbbing.
Lexa stood next to her, overlooking everything from above her, her jaw clenched.
Falo walked up to Lexa and followed her gaze out to TonDC, a gasp escaping her lips.
TonDC was destroyed, a place of happiness was destroyed.
