Sitting in the meeting room with everyone of importance or what I now deemed the new court.
It was me, Octavia, Bellamy, Miller, Clarke and Monty.
" Is it wise to bring Murphy back to camp after what he did?" Monty was the first to bring up the matter at hand.
" Yeah, I'm with Monty on this one." Miller seconded
" So am I, he's a liability and threat to what we have built here." Bellamy also said his opinion.
" I vote we should just hang him." I muttered half jokingly earning me a jab from Octavia who sat beside me.
Giving her a sheepish smile which she just rolled her eyes at.
" Stop it." Octavia spoke looking at the guy-dominated table we were in.
" He has information that we need." Octavia said making her point which I was not gonna lie, I didn't like even if I knew she was right.
" How are we gonna know the information he's gonna feed us isn't a ruse to catch us off guard?" I asked them.
" Okay then let's take whatever he says about any information concerning the war with a grain of salt until we have a second opinion then." Octavia said causing everyone to grumble.
" So are we gonna excuse the fact that he killed two of our own before fleeing?" Bellamy asked still frowning.
" What else are we gonna do?" Clarke asked sighing." Let's just hear him out and if his offer is as good as he makes it out to be then we decide."
" So is anyone gonna bring up the fact that Finn joined the enemy?" I said bringing the thing that had been eating at me.
Everyone paused frowning after I said that.
" I'm surprised they even took him in their ranks in the first place." Octavia said with a frown.
" He made a compelling deal." Murphy said entering the cabin followed by guards who pushed him inside and closed the door behind him.
Murphy looked behind him with a scowl.
" Well, you trained them well, obedient." Murphy commented offhandedly before taking the only sit available as all eyes were on him. No
" So Murphy, are you ready to talk?" Clarke asked with a frown on her face.
" He better be, if not then I will have no other choice but to carve his face and stitch it on my armor." Octavia said threateningly making mostly everyone stare at her a bit surprised.
" Okay jeez." Murphy replied with his hands up looking nervous as he stared at O.
To that, I simply smirked, a bit proud of the girl and her spunk while also finding myself liking her more and more.
" What do you want to know?" He asked looking at us seriously.
" Everything." I told him gazing right at his eyes which had him receding at it.
" It's a long story but sure...."

It took almost an entire hour of Murphy unendingly speaking and we listened.
What he told us had me frozen for a moment at its implications.
Looking at everyone else I could also see how their expressions mirrored mine in a plethora of degrees from surprise to disbelief.
" You've got to be fucking with us." Muttered Bellamy staring at Murphy who at this point was munching on some dried meat.
" You can't possibly have us believe that these people have supernatural powers right? That's stupid." Bellamy said again staring at Murphy incredulously.
" I never said that 'they' had supernatural powers but that a small few did from what I heard, they call themselves nightbloods because of their black blood." Murphy replied having already told us briefly of nightbloods.
" You said that the one that leads them is also a nightblood." Clarke said.
" Yes, the commander Lexa is the most feared in war because she can control blood which might I add is also their magician's catalyst for magic." Murphy said again hitting at a spot that I didn't know existed since I came to this world.
" Fuck." I muttered under my breath even though I knew that the other's keen senses could hear me.
" The soldiers have this ability or skill where they in their words 'Strengthen themselves using the energy of the world' and by their culture only those that can achieve this become soldiers." He said before scoffing." Once I saw their general, a woman named Anya punch a rock and in a couple of seconds it broke into small chunks."
I could see in his eyes that he was nervous and scared.
" So really even if we win this battle we will have thousands of other grounders alongside a queen who can control blood as easily as one breathes with an army of superhumans at her call." He finished with a sigh.
' Well fuck, there goes any canon knowledge I might have gotten some use for.' I thought groaning with a sigh.
" Let's get through this battle and then think of how to survive from there, an army if Murphy is being truthful will come for us in 3 days." I said authoritatively." We know when and how they will strike so while we have the time let's capitalise on that."
To that Murphy made way to stand up." Well, I guess that's my cue to leave-"
" Sit down Murphy." I said before he could fully stand.
Everyone's eyes went to me in curiosity before drifting to Murphy who reluctantly sat down.
" For the remainder of this war council, you'll sit with us and speak strategy." I told him surprising even him." You'll have no voting right or opinion in whatever we decide however and after this I want you to teach every one of us here Trigedasleng."
To that Murphy looked at me surprised." You know the name of their language?"
" Yes." I said in trigedasleng making Murphy more surprised but before he could say anything more I spoke in a broken version of the language." Shut up and sit."
This had everyone looking at me surprised while I simply took a sip from my cup of moonshine not going to explain my sudden knowledge of the language even if it was minor.
Thanks to my [Language] skill.
