So staring as Anya walked over hurriedly with a frown on her face was a bit surprising, in her hand was a bag that I could vaguely sense the five fruits I had given her for negotiations for land and peace.
She didn't take long to stride right in front of us.
" You came." That was her starting sentence.
" We keep our promises." I told her with my frown parroting hers.
" A man of your power rarely does so and for that, you have my respect." She said breathing in as if having been holding something in for a while.
" Thank you, but it seems that your people don't have that same respect seeing you have brought an army into our doorsteps when yesterday we were negotiating a way for both of us to coexist." I said and immediately the mood soured.
The two behind me tensed seeing Anya frowning as she stared at me.
" Believe me or not but I'm not happy about the decision that the commander has decided on but I have no choice in this matter, the commander's orders are absolute and I must fulfill them." She replied confusing the two beside me.
" The commander?" I asked feigning confusion.
" Yes, the commander rules over all the clans and yesterday she sent an army led by Tristan to eradicate you all for reasons I don't know." She told me truthfully, or as truthful as I could see.
" Is there any way we can avoid this war, talk to the commander I mean." Asked Bellamy talking for the first time, Anya looked at him and slowly shook his head.
" Sadly thats impossible, she lays in polis and is protected by many soldiers and generals." She told Bellamy in a low voice." Like it or not, this war will be fought."
" Is that all you wanted to tell us?" Chimed Octavia with a frown that never left her face." If it is then let's get this war over with."
To that, all three of us looked back at her in a varying amount of expressions.
" I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for not sticking to our deal, and also to return these to you." Anya said and then gave me the bag filled with the 5 fruits I had given her before turning tail and walking away without any fanfare.
" I like her." Muttered out, Octavia." She looks fierce."
" Yeah well don't get too attached, she is the enemy after all." I muttered back at her before storing the fruits in a side bag and then turned tail too." Come on, we have war preparations to finish."

—[ 2 Hours after Meeting Anya.]—
" Are you sure about this?" Asked Clarke beside me while we stared at the dozens of people outside the camp.
" I'm sure, plus this will also benefit us after this war is done with." I muttered staring as people walked through the clearing we had cleared a while ago, they were currently being instructed by more tech-savvy of the camp as they planted the hydrazine bombs at the trees systematically and effectively I had taught those in charge.
" Are we ready though?" Asked Bellamy having walked over to us hauling in a crate full of bombs with him.
" 91 against 700 and more seems like good odds to me." Muttered Octavia coming back from the woods being followed by a dozen others.
" Any odds are good enough for you O." I muttered with a roll of my eyes opening my hands at Octavia hugging her softly before looking back at the returning crowd.
I made sure that there were no Trikru spies around us seeing as this is their territory, then I had them plant the bombs.
" Is it all done?" Asked Clarke to Miller who walked up to us.
" More or less, we've managed to plant bombs all around the trees around us." He muttered before taking out a trigger from his back and giving it to me, this trigger was to connect every bomb that was activated and on the trees.
" Do you want to do the honors?" He asked giving me the trigger.
Taking it I then looked at the sky, inky black with stars shining at it.
Then I looked at the trigger and smiled.
" Through fire let us be reborn." I muttered softly knowing that I would be heard and then clicked the trigger.
*BOOOOM**BOOOOM**BOOOOM**BOOOOM*
For a moment I had to recede my now borderline super hearing due to the explosion sounds that occurred before fire surrounded us.
" Holy fuck...." Muttered Jasper from a distance watching the damage and explosive night that just overtook the forest.
Trees had fallen to the ground in splinters, fire snaked at their bark and core fuelling themselves further in a beautiful cascade of colorful flames.
The fire from the hydrazine bombs wasn't normal red or orange but a beautiful mix of pink, blue and black with pink dominating the colour spectrum.
Most of the one hundred got out of our walls to watch this, greatfuly the fire and smoke were a distance from us and wouldn't affect us and we wouldn't have to worry about an ambush while the flames went on.
But still, we had more to do.
" Okay people, let's do this!" I shouted after getting out of the daze and walked back into the walls with the others with Octavia's hand in mine.
I did not miss the uncomfortable glances and twitches that Clarke gave us, or the knowing glances from everyone else but for the first time since I got here I didn't care for them.
