AZGEDA GONA NA TRIKRU HEDA

[Echo]

When you walked into a den of bears, you stepped with a light foot. Echo, a warrior of the Ice Nation, was now walking solo into the commander's camp, well aware that she was surrounded by the very people she had once fought against. The people that she had killed the brother's and sister's of. It was why she she did so with an inward caution, and an outward arrogance; because at any moment they could turn on her, but if she was going to die she wanted them to see she was proud to have done what she had done. The Ice Nation might have been forced to submit, and build an alliance; but she was a warrior who still served her Queen before commander--she would obey the commander, but unlike the Tree People, it was not blind obedience--it was because she had no other choice.

Once she was shown to the commander's tent, Echo walked to the center and faced the commander. "Heda, ai laik Echo kom Azgeda." She told her in their language before switching to the language only warriors spoke, "And I have been sent by my queen to find out what you have learned of the invaders, and how you planned to kill them." Her tone wasn't overly arrogant, and held just the right amount of respect. She wasn't trying to get killed but the commander held an army of hundreds, and now she faced two enemies she could not defeat--the Mountain and the Sky People. Echo was also very careful to make sure she was aware of all of Derrick warriors that were in the room--for Nia had killed the commander's lover, and as a favorite of Nia's, Echo knew she could find herself in the same fate. More so, since one could assume that as Nia's favorite, she might have had a hand in the killing. With luck, no one would bring that up now. Especially since it was Echo how had been the one to sneak into Polis and put the dead girl's head in the bed that she had once shared with her lover.

Echo
Her people had made camp, got their tents up in preparation for staying more than a couple of nights while scouts continued to expand their scouting area, hunters went to gather food. Lexa sat on her throne in her tent, not out of arrogance that she was better than her people but because she was expecting others coming for an audience with their Heda. She'd already looked over their newly laid traps, how they were going to stop the Sky people from making contact with the mountain. She could not afford to have them team up because it would mean certain death for her people. But that wasn't the only reason.

It had been hard to ignore the dropship that came to earth in a great big fireball. It was even harder to miss the fires that had sparked and spread from falling debris from the skies. Fires which had ravaged Trikru territory, not Azgeda. They had some cheek coming in here, demanding answers when it wasn't them who had suffered the losses from the men from the skai. Her thoughts were not aimed at Echo but rather the head of Azgeda; this had Nia written all over it. The girl had spoken with the right amount of respect as she had expected, obviously the girl didn't want to lose her head.

Anya had been ordered to deal with the Skai people on her end while they dealt with it on this end.

"Monin Echo kom Azgeda." Lexa responded in their language before she too, switched to english. "We have learned that though they dropped from the skies, they are not exactly well prepared for living here." More primal than the grounders, at least her people had proper weapons in which to fight and defend. "They are on Trikru territory. They will be killed by Trikru methods." Azgeda was not going to be involved in this, not unless these skai people crossed into their border. "If they cross into your border, you have permission to deal with them as you see fit."

[Echo]

Like many of her people, Echo did not enjoy the fact that Lexa had made Azgeda heel and obey. Trikru had been their foes for a long time, and watching them fail to kill someone of so few--after they had made the ice nation surrender--was either maddening or humorous. Echo wasn't sure which it was, but either way she would not raise the emotion. She was Nia's puppet while here, and anything she said could affect the queen. Which was why she didn't react to permission to killing the ones who traveled north. "How many are there of them?" A question, not a demand. Echo wasn't stupid. here was a reason she was one of the best scouts and spy that Nia had. It was because she knew what information was important, and what wasn't. If she was going to go look at these people from the sky, then she needed to know how many, and what to expect.

"When they cross the border, Azgeda will see they do not uncross it." Echo promised. "What of the mountain men?" She asked, her tone still holding just enough respect to not get herself killed without being humble. "Word has spread that their first move was to join them." Did that mean they were trying to join forces, or did they not know of the evil that lurked under the stone? That was one area that Trikru and Azgeda could unit on--the mountain was not to be crossed, and if they were trying to get to the mountain men, then they needed to be dealt with before they could join the fight.
