If Only It Was Horseplay
~Lexa, Thesda and Hyatt~
"Commanders do not name horses thesda" lexa said as they rode up river. The sun was high in the sky, giving them the warmth they all craved to spare there skin from the bite of the cold air. Winter was on its way, the leaves where already falling off the trees indicating it would not be long until it would arrive.
The thought of winter arriving worried her. Would clarke survive the cold?
Could she be sick?
What if she is to late and she is already dead?
Her mind reeled with possible outcomes of clarke's demise and her face paled on the thought.
"Why not, she should have a name. Every horse should" Thesda said as if it was a well known fact causing Lexa to groan.
Yes her sister was annoying but she was a good repellent to depressing thoughts of clarke's whereabouts.
"Well I'm heda and I have not nor do i intend name my horse"
"Fine if you wont name him I will" she grinned as she rode next to lexa examining her horse.
"Do not forget little sister i am the commander and I will decide if and who will name my horse" lexa said casually,causing thesda to pout.
She knew she would never hear the end of it if the horse was not named. She was not a fan of her sisters use of puppy eyes, Her mother had an immunity to it but lexa not as much.
Lexa closed her eyes briefly before she exhaled a long breath.
"Hyatt , Does your horse even have a name?" lexa asked the man who rode at the back of there small group.
"Yes heda" he said with a small smile. Patting his brown horses neck.
"What are there names?" she asked looking at thesda and hyatt's horses.
"Lexa this is jett, jett this is heda. But to me she is my big sister lexa" she said patting jets side as she flashed a grin at lexa who couldn't help but smile. At polis they had to keep there relationship secret as it could cause many dangers, but alone in the forest thesda could speak how she wanted and lexa liked thesda calling her big sister. It was cute and reminded her that she was still young despite her life experiences.
"It is a fitting name, did nomon (mother) gift it to you?" thesda nodded in response.
"Iv had jett since nomon let me out hunting again, she wasn't pleased but wanted me to have a trust worthy steed. Plus he reminds me of you as he had green eyes" she pointed to her horses enough his eyes where green, a vast contrast between the black colour of his fur.
"He is a handsome stallion thesda, nomon chose well. What about you hyatt ?" lexa asked hyatt who groaned, making thesda give him a questioning look.
"It must be bad if you wont tell heda" giggled thesda in turn making lexa smile. Maybe she could abuse being heda just for a moment...
"Hyatt are you refusing to answer your heda?" she said shifting to her public commander face.
"No heda... " he gulped "My horse she's called .. meatloaf" he replied with a face red as a tomato as he tried to avoid eye contact. Thesda laughed even more, even lexa had to hold in her own giggle.
"Well I think I will let my sister name my horse as her name choice seems...more Fitting?" she said looking to thesda. She would give her this, she would do anything to make her happy. Even if its as simple as naming a horse.
"I have already chosen, I knew you would let me eventually" she said smugly flicking her braid over her shoulder.
" If that is so, I suggest you tell me before I change my mind strisis (little sister)"
"Skaifaya , I think it suits her. She is a little star" Thesda said.
"I do too" lexa replied smiling softly at her sister before going back into heda mode and concentrating on the path ahead.
Before she left polis to find clarke , Anya marked her map with all the sightings of Wanheda to aid her in her two weeks they have made there way to the marked locations in search of clarke. Only one had any useful information, a woman of a similar description had past through a trading store owned by a local man named ravi a few weeks previous, but he only dealt with her once.
She traded furs and meats for a used sword and water canister. He told lexa that she made him uncomfortable and she left his shop and headed north on a bay coloured horse. Lexa also asked him about any azgeda in the area and he told her a few had come and gone in the past few weeks asking about the girl but he told them nothing.
If this was clarke he described, she was weeks behind her. She would have to push the horses hard to catch up to the person ravi described as clarke. He said he had not told the Azgeda that she was seen or which direction she went. This did not mean that the others where as silent as he was.
It was a race between herself and the azgeda, she hoped she found the girl before they was ripped from her thoughts as she heard a gun shot come from the bend of the river followed by another in a quick succession.
Clarke.
Without thinking of her own safety she kicked her horse hard sending her into a full gallop as she sped in the direction of the rode beside her, her face serious, ready for a fight , hyatt was further behind as meatloaf was not as fast as the others.
As they rode closer to the bend of the river side more gun shots rang out along with she could her the clash that only swords could make.
Screams filled the air yet they ended as soon as they started.
Galloping around the bend they could see a group of azgeda charging towards a lone warrior who was mid fight. Many where already dead slumped on the floor around the girl.
As the Azgeda where distracted by the girl, Thesda saw her opening and galloped ahead on jett with lexa not to far behind horses hooves pounded into the dirt floor as they charged at the Azgeda who had only just noticed there existence.
Right before impact lexa and thesda where gone, replaced by the commander and shadow blade.
Thesda made first contact as she drew two sleek black metal throwing shards from her thigh and flung them through the air with such velocity that the shards buried deep within the back of two azgeda skulls killing them instantaneously. Leaving the girl enemy free.
Another azgeda warrior shrieked seconds before lexa made contact. In a swift movement she severed his neck sending his head several meters from its body to the girls feet who looked at the scene in awe as She bound past her on skaifaya.
"ITS HEDA! " one of them screamed before meeting his demise, To the end of hyatts blade.
"You dare attack my people and your heda?" lexa roared "You will all pay the price for the ice queens indiscretion!" Lexa launched herself off her horse and onto the back of her enemy slitting his throat before moving on to the others. With ease lexa had carved down three of the azgeda leaving there corpses slumped on the ground.
Thesda watched as A huge azgeda warrior had cornered the other girl on the horse and dragged her off pulling her to the ground as she screamed trying to fight him off, but a blow to the head stopped her struggle as she pressed her palm to her skull.
"Your pretty but the queen doesn't like broken toys in her arena" He snarled as he lifted his dagger ready to strike.
"Fuck you and your horse you rode in on!" she growled as she spat in his face ready to die in defiance.
"yu gonplei ste odon. gon ai kwin! (Your fight is over, for my queen!) " he screamed
Thesda vaulted of jett and landed behind the warrior, right before he could deal a killing blow she rammed her sword through his chest and he dropped the weapon. She grabbed a fistful of his hair and whispered in his ear.
"It is your fight that is over you fool. You shame your ancestors with your weakness." She snarled into his ear before ripping her sword out of his back and kicking him aside. She quickly dropped to her knees in front of the girl and rested her hand on her shoulder.
"Are you ok?" she whispered gently to the girl as she helped her to sit upright in the mud. There eyes locked for a second before the girl passed out in thesda's arms. She scooped her up holding her under her back and knees. She was careful as she carried her towards the others.
"Lex , she will live, she's just passed out" shouted thesda as she placed the girl next to her companion who pulled her friend onto her lap sighing in relief that her friend was alive.
Lexa nodded in response. "Hyatt ,Keep that one alive ...for Now." lexa pointed at a fallen azgeda warrior who tried to crawl away.
Lexa approached the group of three.
"Heda" the conscious girl said still breathless as she shuffled to one knee.
"You..." She whispered recognising the young girl, how did she not notice sooner?. "Where is Clarke?" Lexa demanded locking eyes with the warrior.
*Raven and Octavia*
"Raven, hold on tight. We are being followed" Octavia ordered before she kicked the horse hard sending it into a full speed gallop heading out of the trees, up river away from the men. Raven's arms held her tightly around the waist clinging on for dear life.
"Shit!" cried octavia as more men blocked there path larger warrior grinned, flashing his vile decayed teeth.
"Nowhere to go ladies, I suggest you get off your horse and come with us willingly so you don't get too hurt before the arena" he smirked,making his friends laugh behind him.
Raven and octavia's heads whipped around looking for any possible escape, a way out but there was none. There was the rapid flowing river that would drag them away, a cliff edge they could not climb and behind them more azgeda would be quickly approaching.
They where trapped
"O, I think its gonna have to be a lara croft x kill bill time if you get what I mean?" Octavia nodded and she let go of the reins and landed gracefully on the floor with her hands in the air.
"Who are you?" the female azgeda asked harshly moving closer with her weapon drawn " Who is this bill you speak of and why do you wish to kill him?" She asked as she signalled her group to move closer to the girls with there weapons drawn.
"The name's reyes..."
"Your playing this game now rae?!" cried O as she looked to her friend in complete shock, before gathering herself. "It isn't exactly the time.."
"Fuck it, If were going out I wanna go out like a bad ass" raven said scanning the azgeda as she slowly lowered her hand to her rest on her hidden gun, thankful that the horses head blocked there view.
"You!" she pointed to raven "Get off your horse and surrender under the order of the ice queen!" she ordered raven as she stood her ground in a strong attack stance.
Octavia's eyes frantically ran over the azgeda trying to determine which way she could handle the incoming fight. She hoped raven was a decent enough shot to have her back if it got out of hand.
"I like being on my high horse.." Raven sighed to the leader right before she whipped out her handgun shooting her square in between the eyes. The archer strung his bow ready to shoot her from the horse but raven was too fast and her gun more powerful. As the sight of a skaikru weapon that cut down two of there clan with such speed, they hesitated just long enough.
Seeing her opportunity octavia drew her sword and ran towards the closest azgeda, fighting both men at once .She flinched as she saw the incoming attack from the corner of her eye.A gun shot rang out and the blonde warrior in front looked horrified. Octavia knew raven killed her attacker, without a doubt.
O kicked the blonde azgeda hard in his knee shattering the bones. He screamed from the pain falling to the ground. She grabbed him by his hair as he screamed for mercy and slit his throat. His eyes bulged as he clenched his hands around his throat, trying to stop his life blood from leaving his body in a last desperate attempt for survival.
He failed, his body fell to the ground watering the ground with his blood.
"Jus drein jus daun! (Blood must have blood)" Octavia bellowed as she stuck her sword through the belly of another enemy.
Between them both they slaughtered the group of before the rest of their enemies caught up with them charging from behind.
"Huston we have a problem" Raven said as she shot at more incoming azgeda who had ran them into the trap.
"For arks sake, don't they take a breather?!" cried octavia as she did her best to wipe the blood from her face but smeared it in the a heavy sigh she ran to attack the warrior that was closing in on her.
"O , I'm out of bullets!" she cried out frantically checking her pockets in hope to find anything of panic made the horse more nervous as he shuffled in the soft ground.
Octavia didn't notice ravens calls about her lack of ammunition as she was to busy being pushing back by her enemy, who was backing her towards the rivers edge.
After taking a unlucky punch to her jaw, She remembered one of indra's lessons and used the environment to her advantage by kicking dirt into his eyes.
The man to growled with anger clenching his sword in his fist so tightly his knuckles turned white. In a enraged attempt to kill her , he charged at octavia with full force bringing his sword over his head as he tried for a killing blow.
Octavia was to quick, dodging at the very last second. Kicking him in the back , sending him into the rushing river as it dragged him under.
Octavia spun around ready to fight two more incoming azgeda head on ,but before either herself or her enemies could draw first blood , the two men dropped to the ground dead.
The only evidence of there demise lay Two black shards buried deep in there skulls.
An instant kill.
She stood in shock , her body unwilling to comply with her mind as she was rooted to the ground watching everything unfold.
Icy wind bit at her skin as she watched the approaching rode the largest horses she has ever seen, far larger than her own and much more handsome.
The two riders rode towards her spilling the blood of her enemies with ease. There was a blur of black and blue that dashed to her left. Seconds after a familiar splash of red followed.
Only one grounder wore a red sash like that.
"Heda" She whispered right before a head of her enemy rolled to her feet.
Octavia was right, screams sounded the arrival of heda, followed by her distinctive voice. She watched as Lexa mauled the warriors with ease, now she knew who she was she wasn't surprised.
The other girl was highly experienced for her , swift and herself would fall to them. Octavia watched in awe which then turned into horror as she saw raven get dragged off her horse.
Before she could reach her the girl with the blue sash had already killed the man and lifted raven off the ground and headed towards her. Octavia's mind was reeling with questions , thoughts and feelings. But most of all she was thankful that raven would be ok.
The girl passed raven to Octavia who hugged her tightly. The girl gave her a quick smile before turning to lexa as she approached. She looked up at her friends saviour , she looked so familiar to Octavia but her curiosity was cut short as lexa stood at her feet.
"Heda" she said as her voice threatened to fail her. As she crawled to one knee, still supporting raven.
"You...Where is Clarke?"
