Octavia was with Roan. She had shown up early that morning and demanded to see him. Most of her weapons had been taken but that was fine, the brunette could turn almost anything into a weapon. The young woman had been cuffed and locked in a room by the Royal Guards, since Roan was asleep when she had arrived. Now, she stood before him, cuffs gone and glared as she spoke in Trigedasleng. "Ai laik Okteivia kom Skaikru and Trikru." [I am Octavia of the Sky People and Tree People.] After using the Grounder language, she lapsed into English.
"I'm not here to kill you. But I am here to kill one of your people. I want their head on stick. Your Royal Guards want to start a war between Skaikru and Trikru, because the clans don't recognize your authority as King of Ice Nation. So your guard had two men kill my fiance over a year ago. They attacked him and me at the Trikru boundary line, while I was pregnant with my daughter." Octavia pulled a hidden knife from her cleavage. She was about to speak again, when the doors swung open behind her. Within a moment, the brunette had whirled around and threw her knife with scary precision.
The knife caught everyone who had been entering the room off guard. Especially when it caught Echo in the chest. Octavia didn't wait for anyone to react. She crossed the room quickly, rammed the knife deeper into the other woman's wound. Then she ripped Echo's sword from her back and slashed it across the other woman's neck, cutting off her head. Echo's head
fell to the floor and rolled away. Octavia was covered from head to toe in Echo's blood. Her face, arms, neck, her clothes. The young woman stood up after cutting off the other woman's head.
"Jus drein jus daun." Was the only words she said. Hatred and anger radiated off of her. Her eyes glared at everyone as she looked around the room. The guard's moved to grab her and she fought them all off. The training she had learned from Lincoln, Indra and Nyko had come in handy. Octavia killed all but one of the guard's, backing off when the man admitted defeat, so she let him live. Not bothering to wipe off Echo's blood, or the blood from Roan's guards that covered her body, she walked past her brother, Clarke, and the rest of the group. "Good luck with your fucking alliance."

Clarke didn't even know what to think as she watched Octavia kill Echo and then basically slaughter the rest of Roan's Royal Guard, with the exception of one man who admitted defeat. The rage in the brunette's eyes scared her, and made her question if Octavia was unstable. She glanced at her husband and saw the alarm and worry on his face and in his eyes. The blonde reached out and took one of his hands into hers. "She's gonna be okay," Clarke whispered to him. She didn't know if it was true or not, but they were sure as hell gonna try to
help the younger woman.
She glanced at the single remaining member of Roan's Royal Guard and saw that he had slowly started to clean up the blood and dispose of the bodies. The man had called in extra help from those at the temple and together they covered the bodies and got them ready for burial. Clarke sighed, knowing that what Octavia had just done had just majorly screwed things up for them. There was only a slim chance that Roan wouldn't retaliate for Octavia's actions and take it out on them. She hoped that he understood the other woman's grief and need for revenge, and wouldn't respond.
They didn't need more dropped bodies. What they needed was an alliance, and to put an end to all the killing. They all had to find some way to survive and it didn't do any of the clans any good if they kept killing each other. They all needed to learn from each other instead. Clarke looked at Bellamy, and then she looked at Roan. A moment later, she stepped forward and towards Roan. "I'm sorry that this happened. I know that you're angry over losing your men. She's grieving," The blonde explained. "All of this was revenge for them killing her fiance."
"It will never happen again. We'll get her under control. I'll put Octavia in jail myself, if I have to." Clarke promised him. In all honesty, if and when she put Octavia in jail, it really
wasn't for Roan's benefit, but for the other woman's. If they could put her on ice and help her deal with her grief, it might give them time to figure out how to get Roan to accept
what had happened, move on, and agree to the alliance. It would also keep Octavia safe, back home at Arkadia, and keep her from going out and doing anything else dangerous.
