FALO SAT WITH HER LEGS CROSSED ON THE THRONE, HER FACE FLARING WITH ANGER. Redick and Roan stood on either side of her, their hands behind their back. She twirled a knife around on the arm rest, digging it into the wood.

The throne room doors opened and in walked Marcus Kane, who looked around to see a bunch of Trikru soldiers, who already knew about the Praimfaya coming to kill them all yet again after almost one-hundred years.

"Is there a reason we're meeting, heda?" Kane asked out of curiosity.

Falo looked up at Redick, who looked down at her. He and the other scouts came back from Arkadia to tell her that they were fixing up the Ark for only their people, they were leaving everyone else out of the plan and leaving them to die, just as Falo had thought when they came back from the Second Dawn bunker.

"Tell me the plan," Falo clenched her jaw, picking up the knife.

"The plan?" Kane asked, raising his eyebrows.

She glared at him. "It's been an entire week since Clarke has contacted me about the Praimfaya that was set to kill in two months," she paused. "So tell me the solution to the Praimfaya."

Kane swallowed down a lump in his throat, growing nervous. "We're still working on it," Falo chuckled. "Hopefully with more time-"

"Enough!" Falo yelled, standing up. "I value honesty above all else and you are not being honest, Marcus," she turned to Roan. "Roan, get oso gonakru ready gon march ona Arkadia." He nodded, and with the rest of the soldiers, they left the throne room.

Kane stepped forward. "What did you just tell them?"

Falo took a deep breath in and turned to him. "Marcus, you lied to me just now about the solution to this all. Redick and the other scouts told me that Skaikru is only saving their own skin and not my people. If she won't save my people, too, I'm taking it by force."

Kane took another step forward, getting close to her. "You can't!"

"I can." she hissed.

"They're your friends too!" He said. "And what about Raven-"

"She's at the island far away from here, is she not?"

"I-"

Suddenly, Falo kicked in his knees and grabbed the back of his shirt, dragging him over to the window. She put her foot on his back as his head dangled out of the window, begging her to let him go.

She sighed and let him go. "Bring them in!"

Two guards dragged in Bellamy and Stephens, both being gagged and bound by their wrists.

Kane whirled around and widened his eyes in disbelief. "Stephens, Bellamy-"

"Redick found these two hunting in my woods. Stephens says they're rebuilding the ship for radiation, which proves my point more so," she walked up to Stephens.
