2. the great wanheda
          it's been a day since the deal, i've been in polis every since making sure nothing else goes wrong 
"(heda wants to speak to you)"
i nod towards a guard and head to her 
"sky crew was spotted today arriving back at their camp, the doors to the mountain are open-"
"our people are to not go on that land"
"let me finish. the door was open and there's no mountain men in sight. i wanted to talk to you before we move in"
"you want to break my deal and go into the mountain?"
"i don't think there is anymore mountain men to worry about aspen" 
"you think they killed them?"
"i think she did."
"the weak blonde girl?"
          lexa and i traveled to the mountain with the two warriors that hardly ever leave our sides it wasn't long before we were at the wide open door. we slowly walk in
"clarke said they were all on level 5" 
"let's go then"
there was already bodies on the ground, we finally saw the number 5 by the big doors i look at lexa before walking in. we were both taking away by the scene before us
"so the blonde girl, you say her names clarke, she did all this?"
"she would do anything for her people"
"(wanheda)" 
the guards whisper under their breathes causing lexa to look at me. this isn't good 
"we will give her some time with her people. but then"
"you are not killing clarke"
"do you want our people to hear of this?"
"this won't leave us"
"word travels"
"then we'll kill the word" 
"(you two leave us) we will not kill our people for your girlfriend"
"she is not my girlfriend"
"and i'm not here to babysit her. word will get out and my call will be what goes"
"you will cause her no harm"
"i will do what needs to be done, im going back to azgeda. you better hope this doesn't spread"
          the word did in fact spread over the next 3 months, just like i said it would, and i didn't even have to put out a hit on wanheda. the people want her power, they want to take her life. i've sent out scouts looking for her, for me. if anyone is getting her power it's me.
"(any word on wanheda)"
the queen asked me 
"(no she's smart, i'll give her that)"
"you're smarter. go find her yourself if you have too. the more power you have the more power we have."
i nod and leave the room. looks like i'm going to find her myself. 
"(zeus lets go)"
i call to a warrior who has been my guard recently 
"(where to)" 
"(wanheda)" 
"(she still hasn't been found)"
"(that's why i'm going to find her myself)"
he nods his head. i need a plan, i need to think like she would. she must kill her food herself because if she was buying she would already be found. niylah. she's the main producer around here. her place isn't too far from us.
          before i know it we arrived. zeus opens the door and bows his head as i walk in to see niylah being attacked 
"(i know that Ice Nation scum came back for her)"
i throw my knife making him fall
"(ice nation scum, ouch. now niylah, where is she)"
"(i don't know)"
she coughs up blood and just stares at me
"(come on don't lie to me. where is Clarke)"
"(the prince took her)"
i felt the anger rise up, roan and i have always hated each other. he felt as i was the favorite child yet we're not even siblings. i was taken from my family and they were killed by his. anyways, roan was banished so why would he want clarke. i bet he's trying to get her for lexa's bounty. i have to get to polis. i turn to the man i previously threw a knife at 
"(you, get out of my sight now)"
he struggled to get up and hurried out. i grab another knife and put it up to niylahs throat 
"(you helped her)"
"(i didn't know it was her i swear)"
"drop the knife"
some new people walk in causing zues to pick up his sword and point it at them 
"(indra what are you doing)"
i ask
"(we're looking for clarke, azgona)"
she bows
"english!"
a guy yells. i know this guy. he landed in my land 
"so are they"
niylah said. i drop my knife from her and walk over to him 
"you landed on my land and tried to kill my people"
"your people kilt mine"
"you're azgona?"
the guy with black hair ask, i nod
"we've heard a lot about you"
the older guy says 
"all great things i hope"
"i'm marcus kane, this is bellamy and pike. pike why don't you guys go stand watch outside"
he holds his hand out and i just stare 
"she doesn't know anything."
i point to niylah
"if i was you i would leave while i can"
i walk out 
"(where to now?)"
zues asks me
"(polis)"
          i make my way to the throne room to see lexa sitting in her throne, her throne that should be mine.
"(where is she)"
"well hello to you too aspen"
"i know you have roan getting her for you, i want her."
"you can not have her"
"i'm tired of your feelings lexa"
"this isn't my feelings. i need her power"
"you have all the power. i need it. and besides, you never wanted me to kill her, how will you get her power if you can't kill her?"
"she will bow to me"
"no she won't and when she won't i'll kill her"
"roan will be here soon"
"i'll kill him too"
"he's all yours once i'm done with him"
"(the prince is on his way up heda, azgona)"
someone tells us 
"(thank you)"
he nods and i go stand where roan can't see me yet 
"(wanheda, as promised)"
he drops her to her knees 
"hello clarke"
"the deal was for you to bring her to me unharmed"
"she didn't come easy"
"i'd expect not"
"i've done my part. now do yours. lift my banishment."
"i'm told your mothers army marches on polis."
this is true- only because lexa has been too weak lately. everyone knows it
"that has nothing to do with me. honor our deal."
"i'll honor our deal when your queen honors my coalition."
i emerge out of the shadow 
"lexa isn't very good at honoring deals, isn't that right clarke"
she starts to scream and move around. not doing any good since she is tied up
"what is she doing here"
"i'm here for my power. from wanheda and the prince. (guards lock him away)"
"yes azgona"
they bow
"what of wanheda?"
the flamekeeper ask
"leave us"
lexa says and stares at me
"i'll be back soon"
          i was still lurking in the shadows when i heard clarke screaming about killing lexa and myself
"i don't think she loves you like you love her lexa"
"you know nothing about what you're talking about aspen"
"oh but i do. i know she is going to ruin you and i'll be here to lead us, like i'm doing already"
"i lead our people aspen, i do!"
"and i lead you!"
"you help me when things are difficult"
"things are difficult all the time, aren't they?"
"i will always be thankful for all you do but you must realize i am the commander and i want to know why you have your army marching on polis"
"oh you know i don't care about you being the commander, you just want the sky people to think you have all the power and control. but you're scared because you know you don't. and that's why my army marches because you have no power and i'm going to prove it"
"we use to be the best of friends growing up training together. we promised to rule together, what happened to that?"
"i'm a better ruler. that's what happened."
"but yet it's not good enough. you and our people think your white blood is royalty but yet you can't take the flame so you mean nothing."
"i mean everything. i keep us together. i keep you in charge. if i wanted you off of that throne you would be off of it. don't forget that lexa"
i basically spit her name out at her 
"the ambassadors will be here soon, lets put this behind us"
"lets put wanhedas behind us"
