Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold

[Queen Nia]

Everything I do is for Azgeda SHE'S GOING TO CATCH A COLD Nia had enough. She was livid. Ever since word had come that Lexa retreated, depriving everyone of their right for justice. Justice for all those lost in the Mountain. Justice for Tondc. Justice for everything. She instead, ran away. Nia would rather her warriors die an honorable death in battle, than live a long life as a coward. So the queen was displeased, to say the least. The problem arose with Skaikru. With Wanheda. And the time to be idle was over. This, was what Nia had been waiting for, for years. Ever since the formation of the coalition. Patience had paid off. Now came the time to strike against the Commander. To make a grand move. To display her power and support from the other clans. For Nia was not the only one who was enraged by the retreat. Blood must have blood. Words that they lived by. Breathed by. Nia for one, refused to neglect this sacred philosophy. She would not stand for it. Which brought her to her first order of business. She summoned Echo to her council room. It was smaller than her throne room, and would allow for the required privacy. When her best scout entered, Nia waved her hand to dismiss her guards, though they remained stationed at the door. Not that she believed Echo would do anything. The woman had proved to be loyal. Trustworthy. Capable. And Nia was going to use all those things, especially the latter, to entrust her with this task. "My spies inform me that the Commander has Wanheda," she began to say. By her son no less. There was no chance that Nia was going to get her hands on her to kill her. To take in her power. So she had to move to plan B. Nia moved around the room, his back initially facing Echo before she turned to look at her. "It is time we strike." Do something rather than nothing. They had been idle for too long. Justice must be had. Jus drein jus daun. FROM THE ICE INSIDE HER SOUL Template by Lachrymosa of Adoxography 2.0

[Echo]

Echo was summoned, so she pulled on her large gray coat, and left her tent. She wasn't the type to acknowledge any worry she felt, but Nia summoning her meant she would be heading out soon--knowing that Roan was working with Lexa to lift his banishment--left Echo wondering what mood she would find Nia in. Her normal rage, or something even more deadly.

She walked into the throne room, and dropped to one knee, bowing her head, before standing back to her tall warrior's stance. Nia wasted no time to informing her that she knew the commander had the skygirl. Echo had given Nia the name, when she asked who had killed everyone. She had done it to protect Belomi. Had Nia been given his name, she would have sent warriors after him as well.

"As always I will help my Queen with my life." Echo said, still playing her part. Though she had a feeling she knew what Nia would ask of her. It would not be the first time that Echo had put a head in Lexa's bed. "I do not think the commander will be after Wanheda's power. She is took weak to make the kill. She has forgotten she was a warrior with honor once, and now heals to her enemies for fear of defeat." She was spoken with contempt. Echo hated her for taking away her right to get even with the mountain.

[Queen Nia]

Everything I do is for Azgeda SHE'S GOING TO CATCH A COLD Nia listened to Echo speak. She had been at her side long enough, that Nia knew when she tasked her with something, she would complete. "No, she will not kill Wanheda," Nia said, aware of this. Besides, if Lexa was after Wanheda's power, then the Skaikru girl would already be dead by now. And her spies would have informed her of such. She knew it was not about obtaining Wanheda's power, but rather, preventing Nia from getting it. "She is afraid," Nia further continued. "Weak. And others know it." This had been what Nia was waiting for. The time to strike back, with the support of the others in the coalition. Leaving Mount Weather in tact, their enemies unavenged, while seen as weakness, was Nia's strength. And she took full advantage of that. "Skaikru has started to populate the Mountain," Nia further revealed. Her spies were her asset, and she was required to stay well informed. She even had a very valuable spy. A surviving man of the Mountain. She would have tortured him to make up for all the deaths . . . but keeping him alive was far more valuable than killing him. Even Nia knew when to use death and when not to. Perhaps when his usefulness was over, she would kill him. For now, she needed him breathing and talking. "An assassin will be sent to destroy it." With everyone inside. "Let it be a message to Lexa and her so called allies." It was more due to her hatred for Lexa, than her hatred for Skaikru. But as they were allied with her, they too would suffer the consequences of committing to such an alliance. FROM THE ICE INSIDE HER SOUL Template by Lachrymosa of Adoxography 2.0
