A/N: I will not be going into extreme detail of them being sent to the ground but rather clips of those on the Ark beforehand, mostly those that will be on the dropship before returning to the ground. Also there seems to be a clear difference in age between the Octavia we see on Earth compared to the one we see arrested in the Unity Day episode as such this will be yet another change. Instead of being arrested in 2148 she, like Clarke, will be arrested a year earlier to account for this making her about 15 at the time of her arrest. We know she was arrested in the Fall and had turned 17 sometime before the Pilot episode and that she was hidden for 'almost 16 years' in this case however it will be that she was hidden for 15 years and as I am moving this up this will mean she was instead arrested earlier in Spring as that is when Isis and Jake made it to the ground.

And the votes for Isis' other title is in! Thank you all for voting!

A couple comments that have gotten stuck in my head so I've decided on giving another title that will be known solely to the Skaikru, a name provided and spoken only amongst her people. I give a shout out regarding this to YaoiLovinKitsune and StarHime98 who put the idea in my head though I've made it slight different!

Her titles are now:

Skaireina

Chanbreika/ Chain Breaker

Graunheda/ Commander of the Earth


Year 2149 September the 13th, Ark: Skybox Clarke Griffin

She was locked within her sister's old cell. A small book had been hidden within the thin mattress, one that despite her fears in the beginning she had come to realize only she could see. The book had been a journal that had seemingly endless pages. A journal that contained so much she had never known about her sister and so much she did not ever want to know about her mother. Isis detailed remembering the multiple unknown tests done to her as a toddler she wrote on how she remembered starving to the point that she should have died when she was first placed within the cell. The journal contained details of dreams and even pictures of such. She wrote of how the sketches since receiving the journal helped her remember the dreams in detail. Dreams of living on Earth. Dreams of people surviving on the ground.

There was so much detail, so much emotion Clarke herself could not help but wonder if what she saw were truly dreams. She knew her sister knew things. Isis despite having grown up in the Skybox had always been so mature, so knowledgeable, so adult. Isis had only been 17 months older than her. It left her jealous how she seemed to just grasp onto or just know things she struggled with. Despite that, Isis was her idol. She knew her sister hid things from her. She had known that for years even if she stayed quiet. Reading the journal and looking at her sisters sketches gave her hope, hope that somewhere down there her and their father was still alive.

She had taken to making her own sketches on the walls and floor of the cell. Her favorite and the largest however was one on the wall near her bed. She fell asleep staring, hoping, praying that one day it would be reality. The drawing was of a family, a family of four. In the center were two sisters that while hold similarities were also night and day to each other. One sister's eyes were completely unshaded, her hair only lightly shaded symbolizing the blonde coloring of her waves, and her jawline a softened feminine version of the father's with full cheeks that had yet to lose their baby fat. The other sister's eyes were unshaded in the center but held a darkly shaded ring around the pupil to symbolize the girl's green ring which was said to be the exact shade of their grandmother's eyes, her hair was dark and shaped into ringlets that framed the angular shape of her face and prominent glass-cutting cheekbones she shared with the mother. The sisters' arms were wrapped tightly around each other as they smiled brightly. The mother and father's arms encircling them as they smiled softly.

Ark: Skybox, Octavia Blake

She wasn't supposed to be alone. Her cell was supposed to be next to the girl who was just like her. Someone else locked away for the way they were born. She didn't know all the details, Bellamy hadn't told her and that as if he knew in the first place. The night she was arrested was the same day Isis, her would be protector and she was pretty sure her brother's crush, was executed/committed suicide to escape being floated. Riots broke out everyday for a week and followed that sporadically for months and continued on even past that. The other prisoners wanted revenge for the lost of their 'mother'. She couldn't help but wonder if the girl wouldn't have been 'mother' to her too.

Her heart was filled with a coldness not even the cold empty vacuum of space could match. They took her before she could be her 'mother' like she was for so many others in the Skybox. The chancellor and the council's stupid rules took everything from her. Her one day of freedom pretending she wasn't raised beneath the floor, her right to live, her mother, her brother, his future as a guardsman, and now even she was gone. Her one hope in this box, the girl her brother told her about was gone. The riots wouldn't stop and every chance she had, she joined. It was the little satisfaction she had left from all they had stolen from her.

Ark: Skybox, Charlotte Dean

She was gone. Her mommy was gone and she was alone again just like when her daddy and first mommy died. There was a new girl next door but she didn't make the wall separating them disappear like mommy did. She didn't sing to her. She didn't play with her. She didn't brush her hair and make it pretty. She was just there. Why didn't she ever tell her mommy she loved her? Why didn't she ever tell her that she wanted her to be her mommy? She lost her chance and now she was just as alone as when she first came to the box.


Space: Dropship

"Your dad's a dick Wells!" laughter breaks out among them as Chancellor Jaha's video continues.

"Hey! You two stay put if you want to live!" Clarke yells to two boys that begin cutting at their belt straps.

"You're the traitor that's been in solitary for 2 years." The shaggy haired boy says as he floats into her view.

"Your the idiot that wasted a month of oxygen on an illegal spacewalk." She responds snidely.

"But it was fun. I'm Finn."

"And I, don't care." She gives him a sarcastic smile channeling her sister as best she can while trying to ignore her own bubbling fear as the ship shakes around her. She sees them from the corner of her eye, the boys from before. "Stay in your seats!" She yells as the ship hits the turbulence of reentry but its too late. The two boys following Finn's stupidity fly back against hard metal as Finn flies into two boys that were strapped into belts for those standing. The two of them latching onto him as best they can to keep him from flying to his death. "Finn, are you ok?" she yells to where he had flown behind her as sparks begin flying off the metal around them.

Ark, Command Center

"Total system failure, that's what we're looking at. All we know for sure is that they were off course when we lost contact, so-"

"Tell me about communication."

"Other than the telemetry from their wristbands, we got nothing! No audio, no video, no computer link. Everything that we programed in to help them is gone. They're on their own"

Space: Dropship

"Clarke, there's something I have to tell you." Wells looked at the girl he'd loved since he was 4 and sspoke as blue eyes met his. "I'm sorry I got your dad and sister arrested."

"Don't you talk about them!" Her eyes teared up even as her brows furrowed in anger.

"Please! I can't die knowing you hate me."

"They didn't just arrest them Wells. They tried to execute them! If you did tell I'll know soon enough! And then I will hate you!" Wells looked at her in shock and tried to ask what she meant only for his head to be thrown forward then back as the dropship crashed and slowly everything silenced.

"Listen no machine hum."

"Woah. That's a first."

Earth, Before Dropship's Re-entry

Isis laughed as the children encircling played a game of Ring-Around-the-Rosie. Costia stood off with another 6 or so mixed of those from the mountain and from families that had come to settle among Skaikru teaching them defensive techniques as part of a game she came up with. She had become one of the best teachers around and the children absolutely adored her. Costia had even spoken of building and running an orphanage for those without parents. It touched something in Costia to have seen the orphaned children from the mountain and those that had managed to come in hopes of finding their parents among those who remained amongst Skaikru with no luck. Though of the 15 that had arrived only 4 had been so fortunate to find their parents or older sibling among the living.

The two of them had decided to build the orphanage in the Valley. The building had started months ago and was set to be finished upon their return with the children. The orphanage was built 2 stories tall with 2 dormitories at opposite sides of the building, each capable of holding roughly 32 within. The dorms held 8 large bedrooms that would hold two children and could in fact be fitted to hold twice that somewhat comfortably if bunk-beds were used. The rest of the building held a kitchen and cafeteria, a nursery, classrooms for different skills, a large gym for training appropriate for their age, and at the center was open yard space.

For now however they were celebrating the Mountain's re-opening. There were plans to make it known as a neutral ground where one could come for medical aid and shelter. It would be a safe haven for those who needed it a few of the elderly people from the mountain had already moved back planning on teaching those who came along how to keep the remaining machines running. One such person was a teen just a year younger than her named Maya Vie and her father, Vincent. As it turned out Vincent had Hemophilia which was a blood clotting disorder. It was best for him to be near a place that treatment could be readily available and the Mountain would be the best place for that.

The sun was high in the sky and the evening's feast being prepped when a boom was heard from the sky.

"Graunheda! Chanbreika!/Commander of the Earth! Chain Breaker!" Warriors called from behind Isis as they watched the dropship's descent hands moving towards their weapons.

"Prepare the horses!"


A half dozen warriors followed her towards the crash-site after making the necessary preparations. Ever since the markings the Earth placed on me appeared I had been able to feel more than I ever could before. I could feel where a person stood myself, I could feel the most subtle of shifts in the body as though they were right against me. She knew there were 5 people heading their way and if their steady direction was anything to go by they were headed straight for Mount Weather. There was just a slight problem with this. The dropship landed in Trikru territory and regardless of their alliance she had no doubt that anyone left behind would make fools of themselves if not outright war if she did not get there quickly but first she had to deal with those that were coming. Isis raised her hand halting those behind her as she sensed them just half a mile ahead from where she knew the shallow riverbed the river snake lived in was.

"Take to the trees but do nothing until I give an order. There are only 5, all clumsy not warriors." Horus tried to interject but the look she gave silenced him immediately.

She watched as a dark haired young woman came into view upon the rocks and jumped into the shallow river. Idiot. She drew her bow and arrow, watching steadily as she saw the four others come into view and her heart stuttered upon seeing the blonde girl. Clarke was finally here.

Octavia as they called her laughed as she played in the water it was clear to Isis however that the goggle wearing boy had realized the danger in the river as he paused in removing his clothes upon seeing movement behind the girl. Movement her bow was tracking waiting for the river snake to come just a bit higher. "Octavia, get out of the water." The boy told her. "Get out of the water now!" He panicked seeing the shadow darken and deepen to show the large size. She turned as I pulled and just as she screamed her arrow was released into the snakes head.

The girl was quickly pulled to shore by the goggled boy who jumped in to help her at the opposite side after she foolishly tried to climb up the rocks smooth wet surfaces only to fall, skidding her thigh across the jagged edges. The others looked for me in the trees and it was only as she made it to the shore that Isis revealed herself. "Hello Clarke."
