Chapter 25-His love

Lexa's P.O.V

Arrows fly through the air as the two armies clash, Lexa's horse is quickly cut down as the Commander falls to the ground. She blocks a man's sword as he swings down at her. She kicks him in the leg and stabs her sword through his chest. She grabs her other sword and stands as a woman charges her. She side steps the swing and cuts the woman's stomach open. She hits another sword away and stabs her sword through a man's neck. She removes her sword as she continues to fight.

Clarke's P.O.V

Clarke rolls away from a man as he swings his sword at her. She swings hers across his stomach causing his guts to fall out of his stomach. She stood up and hit a sword away and then brought her other one across and cut the man's head off. She turns around as a large man charges her. She side steps his swing and swings her sword at him but he blocks it and kicks her in the stomach. Clarke stumbles back as the man jabs his sword through Clarke's shoulder. She cries out in pain as he prepares to bring a dagger into her stomach. A sword goes through the man's back. He lets out a shaky breath as he falls to the ground pulling the sword out of Clarke's shoulder. "Come on, Sky girl, the fight is not over," Gustus says as he helps her up.

"Fuck," Clarke says as she puts one sword away as another man charges them and is quickly cut down by Gustus.

"Stay close, Clarke. You cannot die," Gustus says and Clarke nods. As she grips her sword.

Raven's P.O.V

Raven cut down a woman as behind her Luna and Anya killed two soldiers. Raven looks towards the village as they hear a horn. "What the hell does that mean?" Raven asks.

"More soldiers coming from behind," Luna says. "We need to take a group of soldiers and hit them before they get to the village."

Raven nods as soldiers start to move towards the village.

Octavia's P.O.V

Octavia hit a man off his horse and stabbed her sword into his chest as Lincoln kicked a man in the stomach and stabbed his sword through his back. "How are we doing?"

"We're thinning them out," Lincoln says as he hits a sword away and swings upward cutting through the man's torso. "Just keeping fight."

Clarke's P.O.V

Clarke blocks a swing and the man is stabbed through the back from Gustus. Gustus then hisses in pain as a man swings his sword across his back cutting it open. The large man brings his sword back and cuts the man in half as three more charge them. Clarke hits one away as Gustus stabs one through the stomach and a dagger is shoved into his stomach. Clarke stabs her sword through the third man's chest as Gustus removes his dagger and stabs it into the top of the man's head. Gustus breathes heavily as he removes his dagger and blood pours from his back and stomach. He stumbles for a moment before he falls to one knee. "Gustus."

"Keep…fighting, Clarke," Gustus says as he slowly pulls himself up.

Lexa's P.O.V

Lexa stabs a man through the heart as Jake kills one behind her and men stop coming at them. Lexa breathes heavily as she looks around. She stops when she sees Gustus and Clarke. Gustus stabs a man in the chest as Clarke slits one through. A third man comes at Clarke. He swings his sword at the blond. Clarke brings her sword up but it is hit out of her hand by the man who swings against as Clarke is pushed to the side by Gustus and the sword goes into his shoulder and Gustus brings his sword into the man's chest and lets it go. Gustus stumbles back before falling on his knees. Lexa runs towards the two falling to the ground as Clarke bends down beside Gustus who had blood pouring from his mouth. "You're gonna be okay," Clarke says as blood goes down her arm.

"Do not lie to me, Clarke," Gustus says as she takes his hand. Gustus looks at Lexa. "I am glad you found her…Heda. Take care of each other."

"You're gonna be okay," Lexa says as he voice breaks and Gustus chuckles and then coughs before he looks at Clarke.

"Take care of her, give her the love she deserves. Take care of her, Clarke," Gustus says before he closes his eyes and his breathing stops and tears start to fall down Lexa's face.

Jake's P.O.V

Jake walks up to Clarke and Lexa as they sat by Gustus's body. "Clarke, we need to get your shoulder look at," Jake says.

"He's right," Lexa says.

Clarke nods as Jake helps her stand and begins to lead her to the medical tent. "He died protecting me."

"He died because he wanted you to live. I promise you he did not regret that," Jake says as he leads her inside.

Nyko comes over to them and sits Clarke down as he begins to clean the room. Jake nods to Nyko as he leaves the tent.

Lexa's P.O.V

Lexa grabbed her dagger and grabbed Gustus's braid. She cut off a piece of his hair as Anya walked over to her. "How many?"

"We're up to a hundred, Nia is smart, tire us with one army and then send another from the border. We are still counting," Anya tells Lexa who nods. "A pyre is being build."

"A few months ago, he would not have given his life for Clarke," Lexa says as she looks at him.

"He didn't give his life for just Clarke. He gave it for you as well. He knew how much you loved her, how much it would hurt you to lose her. He gave his life because he loved both of you and wanted you to have the life you both deserve," Anya says. Lexa nods as she lays her hand on Gustus's cold hand.

"Yu Gonplei Ste Odon," Lexa says. "Thank you, Gustus."

Wells's P.O.V

Wells walked through the streets of Polis. "This place is pretty cool," Harper says as she walks up behind him.

"Aren't you supposed to be training?" Wells asks.

"Well yeah, Murphy needed Emori for something so she let me go," Harper says. "Those two are up to no good."

"That is Murphy's thing," Wells says. "So we've been down here for a couple of days. You regret it yet?"

"Hell no, one hour down here is better than a week on the Ark," Harper says.

"Agreed," Wells says. "I do miss Charlotte though."

"She'll be down here in a couple of months. I don't feel great about leaving her but we didn't have a choice. She'll be fine in the skybox. She is good at making friends."

"She made friends with Murphy. He's hard to deal with."

"I'm telling him you said that," Harper says and Wells chuckles.

"Be my guest,"

Murphy's P.O.V

Murphy watched Emori as she walked up to the guard standing out Costia's room. "I can take over for a little while. Why don't you go and take a break?" Emori says with a smile. The guard nods as he walks away. Murphy walks up to the door. "After this, you are telling me why we are you doing this."

"You got it," Murphy says as he pushes the door open and walks into the room. "How's the stump?"

"Who are you?" Costia asks.

"My name is John Murphy."

"You're one of the sky people," Costia says. "Why are you here?"

"I figured if anybody was going to tell me what I want to know. It would be someone who hated the Commander," Murphy says.

"That's a good guess. What do you want to know, John Murphy?"

"Why does the Commander want to work with Skaikru?" Murphy asks her.

"What do I get if I give you this information?" Costia asks.

"What do you want?" Murphy asks.

"How about you get me out of this room?"

"No can do, I'm not even that stupid," Murphy says.

"Then I'll see you later," Costia says and Murphy nods as he turns and walks towards the door. "Wait," Murphy stops and looks at her. "You people are smart, can build shit."

"Yeah," Murphy says.

"What about a new arm?" Costia asks.

"Yeah, I can have that built."

"I'll give you something and then when I get my new arm. I'll tell you the rest. Mount weather is the reason she wants Skaikru," Costia says. "I'll see you soon, John Murphy."

Murphy doesn't say anything as he opens the door and walks out. "It's time for you to give me some answers, John," Emori says. "I have to stay here until the guard returns, I'll come find you when I'm done."

Murphy nods as he walks away.

Bellamy's P.O.V

Bellamy stood on the balcony in the throne room. "You aren't supposed to be in here," Bellamy turns around and looks at a woman.

"Sorry, I like the view. I haven't seen you before."

"I'm Gaia, I'm the new Flame keeper," Gaia says as she walks up to him. "You're one of the sky people."

"Bellamy Blake," Bellamy says.

"Nice to meet you, Bellamy Blake."

"So what is your job?"

"I train the nightbloods," Gaia says. "I advise the Commander, and when she dies, I am in charge of making sure her replacement is prepared," Gaia tells him. "What is your job?"

"Right now, it's to train," Bellamy says with a smirk. "You have a good day," Bellamy says before he leaves the room.

Lexa's P.O.V

Lexa walks into the medical tent as Clarke wraps a man's leg. "A pyre has been made for Gustus and as many men as we could," Lexa tells Clarke who nods. "Are you okay?"

"He died for me."

"Yes he did," Lexa says. "Now we must make sure his death was not in vain but before we can do that we must sent him to his next life," Lexa says softly and Clarke nods as she follows her out of the tent and towards the pyre. Lexa climbs onto the platform and holds her hand out to Clarke who looks at her surprised for a moment before she takes her hand. Lexa looks at her soldiers. "These people gave their lives for us, so we can make our world a better place, we cannot lose now, we will fight and we will not stop until our last breath!" Lexa shouts and her soldiers cheer as she grabs a torch. "Yu Gonplei Ste odon," Lexa says as she puts a torch on the pyre.

"Yu Gonplei Stu Odon."
