Okay so I didn't put this up last time but the words italicized are in Trigedasleng that I didn't translate. Also I put translated words at the bottom.

Chapter 1 Branwada

Lexa sat on her throne eyeing her favorite knife. She twirls it expertly in her hand. She had been in Tondc for no more than an hour. The sun was barely up as her warriors and herself had arrived before dawn. They only rested a few hours before continuing on. Outside the house she was borrowing she could hear the sounds and cries of her people. Of their happiness at being reunited with members of the clan they thought were dead. Lexa walks out of her tent wanting to see her people. As soon as she left her tent she was greeted with the sounds of her people shouting her title. She waved at them her eyes roaming around as she watched the tearful greetings and reuniting of lost people from different clans. Even the reuniting of the Ice Nation members did nothing to spoil the warmth that spread through Lexa at the sight of her peoples' happiness. She could tell her people were waiting for her to speak so after a few moments she did.

"Today we rest. Tomorrow we celebrate!" Lexa speaks loudly causing the hundreds of her people to harrumph in agreement. With that she turns around and reenters her the house she was staying in. Despite her wanting to just settling in her tent her people gave her this house forcing them to vacate their own. Lexa sometimes wished that they didn't treat her so but she bit her tongue this time knowing that she would need the privacy of a house. Lexa eyes the bed and sits on it. She lies back closing her eyes. Her knife in her hand as she begins to slumber.

Lexa tosses and turns in the bed as nightmares sprung force. She sits up sweat pouring from her face as she sees a vision of Clarke being drilled inside of. Lexa closes her eyes feeling her emotions tear through her. Her body shakes as she tries to control herself. But she failed utterly as tears leaked out of her eyes as her body wracked with silent sobs. Her hand clenches the bed. She needed something to ground herself. She gripped her knife eyeing the blade as her self-hatred went through her. Her body shuddered pain flowing through it. Emotional pain giving way to physical pain. It seems as if hours had passed before her body could no longer produce in anymore tears. With one more shudder Lexa stood righting herself. She moved to the bowl of water that was on the table in the room.

Lexa picks up the rag next to it and uses it to wash her face off. Her bones felt weak and tires. She was strained in her movements. Her eyes wandered the room and eyed her throne. She instinctively remembered herself and her place. Hodnes laik kwelnes. Lexa repeated inside her head as it was her mantra. Her mantra against love. It was a weakness that she momentarily let take over her. In that moment of weakness anyone could have came in and killed her and she would be too weak to do anything. Lexa clenches her teeth wanting to rage about even though she repeated those words in her mind all she could do was think about the pure disbelief and pain in those sky blue eyes as she walked away from her.

"Heda!" Lexa turns just as Indra walks in. She places her blank face on hiding the emotions that had previously surged went through her.

"You've disturbed me Indra." Lexa speaks her tone bored. "Haukom?" She questions her most loyal chief.

"Hakim has returned. He is requesting an audience with you and the generals." Lexa internally wonders why he has requested an audience with the generals as well.

"Call the other clan generals here then we can speak freely here." Lexa responds before settling on her throne not even bothering to place her war paint on. She wasn't warring at the moment so there was no need. Indra leaves the room. Soon enough twelve people enter the room along with Indra and Hakim. Indra was immediately at Lexa's left in a defensive position. Lexa's eyes stare into Hakim's who looked very weary.

"Heda why have you requested our presence." The first to speak was the current Ice Nation general who took over after the death of his head in Tondc. Lexa withholds the need to put him in his place.

"I did not request for your presence Hakim did. And if you waited a moment you would have had the answer to that very question." Lexa responds her words callous and rude showing she wasn't in the mood for any crap today. "I sent Hakim back almost immediately to the Mountain in order to ascertain the situation there and he has deemed it important enough for us all to bear witness to his words." Lexa continues when she sees there would be no more outbursts. "Chik Hakim" Hakim hesitates before speaking.

"Heda de Skayon flosh klin Maunon." Lexa controlled her face. She was a mixture of few things. She felt happiness at the thought of Clarke bringing down the mountain. She swallows wondering if Clarke was okay. She heard discussion go up. She knew she had sided with the losers.

"Heda we must tell our Clan leaders this." Lexa tilts her head to Mana. She was a general that Luna of the Boat People had sent in her stead. She was one of Lexa's greatest allies within the alliance.

"Yes we must prepare for war Heda." Caris of the Desert speaks this time. Hearing the word war made Lexa feel slightly unsettled. She leans forward. She didn't want to go to war with the people of the sky. Lexa holds her hand up quieting more discussion.

"Hakim chit kom Klark kom Skaikru." Lexa noticed Indra's questioning glance.

"She lives Heda." Relief floods through her. She then stands.

"For now we will celebrate the return of our warriors and the fall of our longtime enemy. The fall of the Maunon."

"And after that Heda." Lexa glances at Mana who had spoken once more.

"After that return your people to their homelands. Convene with your leaders and tell them that I request a meeting with all of them in Polis three weeks from now."

"Haukom Heda." Indra asks this time. Lexa turns to her knowing she wonders why three weeks and not sooner.

"The Sky people have just left a battle and we have just had our people returned for now we should allow rest and see what they plan. No attacks should be done upon them unless it is in defense of one's self. I also would like to supervise the rebuilding of Tondc and I know that some of you will travel far to give word to your leaders. We will convene once more in three weeks." Lexa left no room for arguments.

"Sha Heda." They all bowed their heads. Lexa had them leave all except Hakim and Indra.

"How did she do it?" She asks Hakim.

"She let them breathe our air Heda."

"Gon we ai." Lexa orders the both of them unsettled at the news she just heard. Clarke had irradiated them something she had constantly told them not to do. Lexa draws her knife and tosses it into the wall next to her in anger. She had caused Clarke to gain more blood on her hand. Blood that she knew the girl would never be able to wash off. Sadness envelopes Lexa. How could I do this to her? Lexa wonders. She activated the sixth plan down because of me. Clarke I'm so sorry. I am a fool.
