Sorry this has taken so long, what did you all think of the 100 season finale?
Abby POV
What is wrong with Clarke, choosing to spend her time with the betrayer and the savages in the middle of the forest. Why wouldn't she come back to the ark were she would be safe. That woman must be holding something against her or threating her to make her stay. I must rescue my daughter.
"Abby, at least you know now where Clarke is and that she is safe. Maybe she can convince the commander to trade with us for some horses." Major Byrne tore me from my thoughts.
"Yes, I know where she is but I do not think she is safe, I think Clarke was coerced and we need to rescue her" I say quietly to the Major.
"We need to plan a rescue mission" I explain, hoping the teenagers could not hear me, there support was unpredictable, particularly as a group.
"We don't have the manpower for a direct assault it will need to be a sneak attack with no guns as the discharge of a weapon will see failure of the mission" Major Byrne devised.
What the two women didn't know was that Octavia was listening intently to the conversation.
Clarke POV
Lexa asked her people what they thought about me undertaking the trails to join the trikru. I great cry of SHA was let out by the crowd to show their acceptance.
Then let the first trail begin Lexa shouted to the people "teik the faya, jus and wamplei commence."
I could not understand her words exactly, but I did hear fire and death. "Lexa what is going on" I ask worriedly.
"Don't worry Clarke it is just a name, I am confident you will do well, the first test is today you have practiced your whole life for this one" she comforts me.
She leads me with a crowd following to a table where she put a blindfold on me. "It's tradition" she whispers before putting my blindfold on and leading me away.
We walk for a few minutes and I have no idea where I am going, she did give e the hint that I have been practicing for this my whole life, I have a few ideas what she means but I am not sure.
Finally we stop and she places my hands on a table. "We come now to the first test, Clarke besides being Wanheda is a healer as well, a true commander of death. The first test is skill, we are in this place to test her skills as a healer" Lexa announces to the crowd before removing my blindfold. On the table in front of me there is a bunch of herbs, bandages, splints and other necessary medical equipment.
I am standing in TonDC's makeshift hospital with five patients in straw mats Lexa, Indra, Nyko and crowd of people behind me. Lexa speaks up again "Clarke you have one hour to see to these people's needs, we do not expect you to cure their ailments but Nyko will be the judge of your skill as a healer in the first task, begin."
She explains the rules, I walk on over to the first patient a male warrior in his late 30's. Sytryn who has many cuts including a large gash from his forehead to his chin and deep cut though the fat layers on his leg and a mild fever. I cleaned his wounds with spearmint made into a paste as it is a natural antiseptic, before stitching the bigger wounds closed, cleaning the blood and applying a cold damp cloth to his forehead.
Satisfied with my work. I moved on to the next patient an old woman, Marggit whose legs were red, painful and swollen. I thought maybe this was from varicose veins, I knew compression was the key to reliving the symptoms, although I doubted the trikru had compression stocking or tights. I found some bandages and wrapped both her legs tightly, but not tight enough to cut off circulation. I then put her legs on a couple of straw pillows. I noticed Nyko was still inspecting Sytryn, however, I quickly mover on to the next patient
Next was a boy about seven years old called Trygen. He had a broken leg, his leg was out of placeso first I had to manipulate the bones to pop his leg back in place. Trygen barely made a sund but that had to have hurt. I used to sticks and some bandages to secure the leg tightly so the bones did not move and the leg would heal straight.
I had no idea how long I had taken with the first three patients, however I knew I would pick up the pace. The next boy caught by eye he had an arrow sticking out of his thigh. I carefully rolled Kynnet on to his side and saw the arrow was sticking out the other side of his leg. I found a thin metal sword and heated it by the fire. I waited until the sword was hot enough before I cut the arrowhead off and pulled the shaft of his thigh. It started bleeding profusely so I shoved the burning sword into the wound to stop the blood and cauterise the wound.
The last patient was Sydney a twelve year old girl who had burnt herself cooking and she had burns on her hands, stomach and thighs. Her skins has big blisters and raw areas where the blisters had burst. I crushed and made a paste of lavender, witch hazel, elder flowers and calendula. I began applying it lightly to her damaged skin.
Just before I finished helping Sydney, Lexa announced the trail of skill was over. I walked over to stand by Lexa and wait to see what Nyko had to say about my work with the patients. I only had to wait a few minutes before Nyko came over and whispered to Heda. She turned back to the crowd, "Clarke, has passed the skill test" she yells to the crowd.
The crowd cheers and I am relieved I passed the test but also glad I got to help those people. "Lexa" I whisper "Can we go back to your tent" I ask. "Or do I have to attend some celebrations?"
