Nuclear Witch Chapter 9, a 100 fanfic

Day 2, Earth

"It's just the two of us, Isis. Why do you want to rebuild the entire property? And more, I mean what would we need an underground shelter for?"

"What about others? What about Clarke when you finally get that radio to work? Where will she, anyone else live, if we don't get it ready? And don't say I can do it then. I am not letting anyone else know about my magic, not if I can help it!"

"Alright so we'll get it done now but will you at least tell me why you don't want anyone to know? Sweetheart, what you can do is amazing." He said following her out of the cave she'd made for them to sleep in as they made their plans.

"Yea, it is." She turned to face him. "But what about when they want me to use it for them? What about when they want to know if it's hereditary? And if you or Clarke don't have it, if what I can do can be passed on? What then, Dad?"

"Isis, that won't happen."

"Just like your wife would never lie to your face about your first daughter dying of health complications, days after being born because of the color of her blood?"

"That isn't fair, Isis."

"Fair?" She licked her lips before continuing. "What is fair is being locked in a box?" She arched a brow waiting for a response but as much as Jake Griffin wanted to defend the woman he had married and given him two beautiful daughters, he had to admit that he couldn't find the woman he fell in love with in the one that had laid next to him most of the time. In truth, the only times he saw even a hint of her was when she was with Clarke. "Yea, I didn't think you'd have an answer for that either. I better get started. I want the walls up by noon and to at least start on rebuilding our new home." She said before walking out.

The walls were her first priority. Once up they would serve as the line of the last protective layer of wards over their new home on the ground though set a few feet back of course. She planned to add additional wards as she went further out though how far would be limited on by what was claimed. Magic had a funny way of working. If someone purchased something if was theirs, at least that was how the world worked before the bombs. But what about after that? What about when there were no more leases or land deeds? Ownership was an iffy thing then.

Magic recognized what was claimed and what was not through the very Earth itself. If anyone lived on the land then it was claimed but what about if they only lived off it? She knew when the old rehab center wasn't claimed because the Earth itself did not recognize it as being lived on or in but the land surrounding it might be a different story. In this case, she would have to consider the grounders and their territories. In this case the Earth would recognize their ownerships much like they did in her own world's medieval times. Magic would recognize the land's ownership by, for lack of a better word, sovereignty or as one would have a kingdom.

The very magic of her wards would seek out the furthest unclaimed points in either direction and from there she would begin but first the walls.

A/N: Pig Latin translation = Earth to Sky. Stone fallen shall heal. Burrow in deep. Grow to the sky. Surround and protect. Thicken and expand. From my mind find your place.

The walls had not only been fixed but had become taller, thicker and expanded to allow for at least 4 large men to walk side by side. It stood roughly 20 feet high at either end. A small box no more than 6 inches in width x 12 inches in height was made between the stones every 5 feet for possible archers/gunners to safely (or at least as safely as it could be) launch an attack while remaining hidden behind them. The stairs to reach the top could only be accessed from within, each staircase set 50 feet from the last starting 50 feet on either side from the only entrance that could be seen and would be known of at least to anyone she didn't trust. She sent a repair charm toward the rusted metal gate and once reattached she changed its very shape. The gate became solid metal and with a spell to change it's hinges, would now open by being rolled to the side. She decided to build a secondary gate before retiring.

A/N: Think Great Wall of China but clearly not that high or anywhere near as expansive. The walls are basically large enough to fully enclose a smaller college campus so estimate about 1.5-2 miles within the walls. Most of what remains within has been destroyed but a few surprises may crop up here and there. For those of you who can see it please ignore superman and those of you on other sites that cannot look up superman has wall-building-vision on google or youtube. BTW superman has wall building laser eyes? WTF?!

Hey, if any of you guys have questions, I don't mind that! What I mind is when someone goes off and starts talking about my work being crap or how something I put in 'could never happen'. This is fanfiction and that means if I say it can happen, guess what? It can happen!

~~Large Author's Note Below Explaining details from last chapter~~

The tactics wouldn't be for the grounders or even just for the two of them but rather for later on (also remember they will be here for 2 years before the 100). The grounders are taught their own style of fighting from childhood and as such would not need it, but the 100 would and those I currently have in mind for a little twist will. The training however will certainly be put in use and in fact will be seen soon enough with Isis as she still had her memories and knowledge of fighting styles herself. While she didn't have any form of weapon, she spent most of her life in a box where she could do nothing but practice magic in secret, learn what she could of the differences in this world from her own (tablet and courses Jake Griffin put her in), and train her body. While she took the training and tactics it was more a matter of developing a way for others (much like Jake Griffin will) to build their strength and endurance to be able to survive on the ground.

I never understood how somehow, someway Kane and the guards from the Ark were able to trek over 20 miles and then back even further (as they abandoned Mecha station for Alpha station which was located further than even Mt. Weather) after going through oxygen deprivation and their landing. I understand they were somewhat trained but the fact is they weren't trained for the various terrains nor the distance.

As for the land, when Jake looks around and sees the land of their new home, remember he's only ever lived on the Ark. It's like when you get a new puppy and they just have to explore everything, that is basically Jake Griffin right now. Everything is new to him. In reality, the space within the walls as will be brought up later isn't really that large.

The Coalition was formed just about the time of Costia's death as such 'formal' boundaries have not been formed amongst the grounders meaning there are several large pockets between the clans left unclaimed, for the moment. I also can't really see the grounders ever claiming territory near Mt. Weather especially as we know that whenever they come with a certain distance (usually over 10-20 miles away) acid fog 'somehow' occurs. We also know that despite Mt Weather technically being within Trikru territory it also bordered somewhat with Azgeda (as such these borderlines would be created by the Coalition but do not currently exist).

I will be adding a few maps in but I wish there were better ones. I honestly don't have the time to make a full out map with various territories and another one for when the coalition comes into affect as it's already time consuming just trying to gather the gifs or edit photos/collages. So I'm going to be putting up the ones I looked up to show how it would seem. Though some of the positions of the territories are obviously way off. I say this because there is no possible way Clarke survived to reach Shallow Valley if it was based on either. As such, I'm sticking with what it the location it was based on which is Shenandoah Valley in VA, located roughly only 80-100 miles from Mt. Weather.

And farming, while there will be some sort of farmland used it's mainly going to be for things that can't be grown in the greenhouse. Things like corn, wheat, larger fruit trees and others along those lines.
