The other day morning The villagers were burying those who died. William was leading them. They were heavily guarded with 5 panthers surrounded, They finished their funeral and head back to the center of the market.
"What now? Chief?" People started asking William. There were few children left and the head of the panther took the big house in Outpost.
"Now we rebuild again, we live as one" William was speaking the panther gave them a space to talk alone.
"What about Blood Reina? Will she ever return again? Is this our life now?" People were asking.
"Yes, Blood Reina is no more, now we are on our own" People were shocked hearing that from William.
Later on that night Gaia was returning home Clarke was still unconscious she was being carried they were at the woods heading to Outpost. Suddenly they heard wings as something huge was flying above them. They suddenly saw Banshee flying she was very huge. It was Stella she killed all the panthers and turn back into normal. She walks to Gaia.
"I shouldn't have gone away, what happened?"
"I will tell you on our way, we don't have much time" They took Clarke and walked away Gaia explained everything that happened they went to the caves Gaia was shocked seeing Milan laying down. His sword was beside him and his wounds were treated.
"Oh My God I thought he's dead, his people think that he is dead"
"Not yet, but he will be if he won't wake up to make the accession soon" Stella said.
"What happened how did you get him?"
Gaia asked.
"Remember when I told you there's place I need to go, I have this old friend of mine Nilan, Milan's brother, he called me and told me the whole plan, When he was falling, I was down waiting for him to fall than I took him" Gaia was surprised
"So Nilan is on our side?"
"Yes Nilan and Octavia both of them, they are just pretending to Bratva because we are trying to find out who gives orders to Bratva. We believe there's an organization stronger than Bratva that's what we need to find out, but promise me you will say nothing of this"
"Crossed my heart, I will return back to Outpost now I think Clarke will be safe here" Gaia decided to return back to Outpost alesve Clarke with Milan under Stella's care.
Early in the morning the next day Clarke opened her eyes.
"Welcome back to life" She saw Stella beside her she was shocked as she sees Milan laying just next to him.
"What exactly happened?"
"So much" Stella explained what she heard from Gaia. Clarke sat down on the rock.
"What about Milan?" Clarke asked Stella.
"Nothing until now, he's wounds are all healed up but he can't wake up, and if he won't wake up until dawn tomorrow he will die"
"Can you do something to save him?" Clarke asked.
"My child you have to consider your health first"
"He is the only creature brave enough to fight Bratva and win of course I have to care"
"He will be fine he just needs to make accession with his father to receive his full powers thats all, you on the other hand. I heard you fought Nilan what were you thinking?" Stella asked Clarke
"That I could protect my people, that's what I do right" Clarke stood up she was about to walk away.
"Where are you going Clarke?"
"I have to get answers, I'm going to find Eco where she is, I have to know about my life, where I came from, how I got the powers, the way of my people. I have to know all. After that I will come back to get Outpost then I will bring more hybrids and fight alongside Bratva. As you said we all depend on Milan and Milan depends on us to fight alongside him. He will need more creatures when he wakes up. Give my regards to Gaia and William tell them I will come back soon. Tell them they have to endure this pain together for now, no matter what they shall not fight I will come back again." Clarke turned around.
"Are you leaving without your armor or weapons"
"I'm sure I will find a better suit and a nice weapon once I know my story because where I'm going there lots of hybrids materials" Clarke slowly started walking away Stella prayed for her to have a safe journey.
In the woods Clarke was walking shouting calling for Eco. She was all alone.
"Gees keep your voice down" She heard a voice when she turned around she saw Eco.
"So you're back to life. After all that beating you took" Eco spoke
"You saw what happened?"
"Everything, you getting your ass kicked? How could I miss. Then Cold Lands where your boyfriend was thrown down the hills? I saw everything."
"Well first he's not my boyfriend and second why didn't you help me then?"
"Why did you want me to help you? I can't interfere with non of my fights"
"This fight is your fight too, maybe you just didn't realize that yet but the time will come when we will all stand together and fight"
"Yeah you are not the first one saying that to me. Now tell me what do you want from me you have 3 seconds"
"I need your help Eco, I need to find out everything about me and my past. I need to gain my powers and help you release all those hybrids from their prison."
"And what makes you think I will help you?"
"As I said, you and I have a common enemy and in order to fight him, we need more creatures with stronger powers" Eco was staring at her very closely.
"You may be a hybrid but you're not your father's daughter, come on we have to go it's 7 days walk from here" Eco turned around and started walking.
"Why can't we just fly?"
"Are you sure you can fly?" Eco asked Clarke
"Yes I can fly see?" Clarke wanted to fly but her powers were gone. She tried like three times but nothing.
"We hybrids can sense each other's powers and since I can't sense yours that means your powers are gone, you're just a normal human being" Clarke was shocked hearing that.
