Grounder Village

Damon went back to camp with his team and called the 100 together.

"The Trikru alliance has been accepted and we are now allies with them. This means we are safe to live in this territory without being attacked by them.

We will have to give monthly tributes but that won't be a problem for us. But remember, there are other clans and people who wish to see us fall because an alliance with Trikru could break the current balance of things.

We must be alert and ready at all times! A storm is coming, and we will be ready." Damon said before all of the 100 spoke at the same time.

"Understood!" They yelled at once before Damon ended the meeting and went into the command tent.

He instructed Raven to begin making bombs using the rocket fuel under the dropship as well as make grenades and even mines so that they could be ready for the future. Raven had also already built multiple reaper tone devices and they would soon be ready to take mount weather.

Damon spent the rest of the day doing the logistics around camp about how much food they were taking and how much they eating as well as how much they had saved up as well as subtracting the tribute for Trikru from their supplies total.

Damon also sent out a team of people to go back to the bunker where the blankets and medicine kits had been found.

He wanted all of the guns and barrels of ammo to be brought back to the dropship. They returned later the night, and the dropship armory was beginning to expand big time.

Damon then went to bed early with Clarke before waking up early the next day and leaving camp with his three generals and a few other people who would go to one of Trikrus' villages with them. 

Clarke was also bringing a bag full of medical supplies as they planned for her to help teach and learn from their healer and share knowledge. 

Damon had been waiting on the bridge for about ten minutes when he spotted Anya and her squad but not on horses this time.

"Anya." Damon shook Anya's hand and she nodded.

"Damon, follow me," Anya said and led them through the forest for thirty minutes before they saw a village in the middle of the forest almost completely integrated into it.

Tree houses high up in massive trees could be seen with swings from one tree to another. Wood houses and tents made of animal hide and furs were set up all around the forest with a few bigger buildings in the middle of the village.

Grounder kids could be seen running around and fighting while the elderly could be seen cooking or sowing clothes together. 

"Woah!" Octavia said while looking around at the unique scene with wonder. 

The grounders were completely at home in the middle of the forest, and it was a new sight for all of them.

Looking around Damon saw some kids with pale faces and dark rings under their eyes.

"Anya, are some of your people sick?" Damon asked Anya who stopped and looked at him.

"The cold weather always kills a few. How did you know?"

"Clarke here is a healer, I'm sure she can check on your sick and help them." Damon pointed to Clarke who heard their conversation and nodded.

"I was also wondering if you had a healer here?" Damon said while looking around.

"We do, Nyko is our healer, but he usually travels around," Anya said while looking at Clarke in a new light.

Healers were very rare and important to their people, they all deserved respect.

"Maybe Nyko and Clarke can share some knowledge together," Damon said

"Yes, that sounds good. Now come eat, please." Anya says and leads them to a big campfire with grounders looking at them as they walked through the village and saw many new things.

"They've only heard legends of sky people; they are just interested don't worry," Anya said to all of them as they were looking a little weirded out with everyone staring at them.

"Please eat." Anya handed them a few bowls full of meats, fruits, and vegetables while Anya brought Damon over to a young girl about ten years old with dirty blonde hair and brown eyes.

"This is my second, Tris. I will send her with a few of my people to your camp." Anya said

"Your Damon of the sky people. Nice to meet you!" Tris said excitedly while putting her hand out and shaking his hand firmly with a smile on her face.

"Haha, nice to meet you to Tris." Damon smiled making Anya smile and feel more comfortable with Tris going to his camp.

"I will send her with one of my generals, Bellamy. He won't let anything happen to her I promise." Damon said while looking into Anya's eyes to let her know how serious he was.

"Good. If anything happens you will pay in blood." Anya said before they introduced Tris to Bellamy who left with six other grounders following behind and heading back to their camp to see the way they lived and learn new things.

Damon spent almost a whole day hanging around and getting to know a few of the villagers while kids would come up to him and ask him questions before running off and giggling making him smile and feel relaxed.

That was until he heard a horn go off making him stand up and watch as the grounder villagers ran into their tents and climbed the trees disappearing in just a few seconds.

"Anya, what's that horn mean?" Damon ran over to Anya who was surrounded by other grounder warriors who all had weapons ready.

"Reapers are attacking our scouts nearby," Anya said before running toward the horn.

"Let me help," Damon said and ran beside Anya before they soon spotted a dozen reapers surrounding a three-man team of grounders.

"Kill them all!" Anya screamed as the reapers spotted them and charged creating a clash of steel as both sides started reaping lives.
