"I will spare you." The beautiful grounder leader dropped her eyes to the floor in a thoughtful manner. "But I cannot let you walk away without a tribute." With that she looked up again, straight into your eyes. Her green eyes were intimidating and strong, but behind it you could see that she was reasonable and a visionary. "You will leave your belongings as a sign of your obsequiousness. And you will bow to me on your knees in front of my generals and the town." The woman, which they seemed to have called Heda earlier, looked at you with a stern look in her eyes. She would probably not negotiate with you.

My eyes darted around frantically. I couldn't leave my belongings! How would I survive? And then, with a heavy sigh, I stood up straight and said, "Give me a weapon, and I will fight one of your men. If I lose, then my belongings stay. And if I win, then I leave with my belongings."

Great. Now I'm screwed.

[Benzaiten]

The woman slowly, very slowly, rose her chin. "You will have your combat." With that she raises her voice. "Teik em we." Two warriors step inside the tent, obviously having waited outside all the time, they grab your arms rather roughly and pull you away. Out of the tent and back to your chamber of darkness. But you will have your combat.

You are left alone for hours, then someone comes and takes away the orange jump-suit. You cannot fight it. They take away the work gloves, leaving you in the rest of the clothes. No word has been said.

I sighed slightly as they pulled me away trying to keep up. I knew I had to win this fight but now seeing some of the others in this camp, I realize that is impossible. I look around my surroundings as they take me to the empty room. I shake my head as I look around when they leave. Even though this, it is useless. Theres no way I'm getting out. Instead I lean on the wall and wait, soon that lean turned into sitting. I struggled slightly as they took off the jump suit, leaving me standing there in basicly nothing and huffed. This was so unfair. I crossed my arms as I waited.

[Benzaiten]

Hours pass and after a long long time of waiting you don't even know if it's still day or night yet. The thought of the girl on the radio crosses your mind. The one that was bleeding out because you got trapped in this hole of a mess. But you can't help her now anyway. Either she was already dead or would be very soon. And your chances of getting out of here with out life were slim to none.

The door opens and you look up from your seating postion on the ground. It's the grounder warrior queen or whatever she is. The one with the black dripping war paint around her eyes, the long brown hair with complicated braids in it and the overly sexy body. Wait what?
"Your chances of winning this combat are so small, you should give up", she speaks to you. Her voice was neutral and you couldn't tell whether she was here to mock you or for another reason. "I want to show mercy on you, sky girl." Her eyes lie on you heavily. She has intense green eyes. "I don't want to start this war. I will let you leave. Under conditions. You will get a punishment of ten cuts. I don't believe your actions were directed against my people or me. You will vow to never attack me or my people again and bow before me." She looks at you, her hands behind her back, waiting for your answer.

@KahleenCuthald (Wow, nobody's posted on this for a while XD)

I looked up as she spoke, a glint of confusion fluttering across my face. My brow furrowed as she spoke of my slim chances, but I remained. All of this was confusing - how this woman kept changing her mind over everything - but I wasn't going to complain. "I guess that doesn't sound that bad. I mean, it's better than fighting someone. Thank you for understanding," I gave her a brief glimpse of a smile. "What about my belongings?"

[Benzaiten]

"Then that's settled", she answers and nods once. Her hair gracefully falls over her back. She then answers your actual question. "You will leave without any of your objects." It couldn't be more clear that worlds lied between who you are and who this woman seems to be. Her whole being, her whole attitude and clothes -- she was definitely never introduced to the kind of techonology you knew up in space. This woman grew up in a destroyed world, a world after bombs had dropped and destroyed almost everything 100 years ago. The woman was about to turn, but held for a second to talk again. "My warriors will get you soon. Be ready to leave. And when you do -" Her eyes darted at yours with a dangerous look in them, a clear warning that next time her mercy would be far far away. "- don't come back." With that obvious threat she leaves you alone, locked up in the little chamber of yours, but soon you would be at least free. You would be able to stay alive. That is if the queen woman keeps her word.

About an hour later - or at least that's what you'd guess - two warriors step inside the chamber and grab you. They say something, but you cannot understand their language. The two men drag you out of the chambers and then look at you. One them speaks in English. "You do what Heda says. No tricks, skai-prisa." He looks at you to see if you'd be a harm, but he seems to not think so. "You go, you kneel, you bow head, you do not speak if not asked. Understood?" Your freedom was so close. Though without any supplies, how long would you survive in the woods?

"Understood," I couldn't help but grumble. This woman's sudden transition between hostility and understanding was making me irritated, and, so, small cracks of the irritation bled through. My mind kept drifting to my supplies, though - I needed them to survive. Without them, and being banished from the only habitable place I'd found, I'd die within weeks, for sure. There had to be something I could do; though I wasn't going to risk doing anything wrong whilst in the company of the men.

[Benzaiten]

The warriors lead you out of the chamber's cave you've been kept in and up to the surface. The sudden light makes your eyes hurt and you have to close them, shield them from the sun, for a while. Though the light is bright for you, you also notice that the horizon is settling for the night. The sun is slowly vanishing over the trees.

You get led down a way of earth-people, people who were born and raised on the ground, and then you stand in front of the graceful warrior queen. She gives her two warriors that showed you the way a nod and the next moment they leave your side to stand in the gathering crowd.

"Sky girl", she speaks, "You attacked my warriors for no reason, you came into our land, with harm. But you came fallen from the sky, not able to know our rituals and rules." Some people in the crowd scream a word in their language and even you can guess that it's meaning is as much as "kill her". The woman raises her hand and the shouts die down immediately. "My people demand your head. But I work towards peace. And no more blood shall be spilled than the one you will offer for your freedom. Ten cuts will mark your body, and you will swear fealty to me." The crowd again says one word, this time it is a word you heard before: Heda! Heda! Heda!

Again her hand silences the noise. "Bow before me now. Get on your knees. And promise me your ever lasting loyalty. Vow to fight for me, die for me, and follow my orders as I speak them, shall our ways ever cross again in any way." Green eyes lie on your sky-blue ones. She's waiting. You have to kneel down now.

@KahleenCuthald
I stumbled to my knees, my legs refusing to co-operate with me for a second. The cries of "Heda!" echoed in my ears, but I shook them away, bowing my head. "I swear my loyalty and fealty to you, and I will follow your orders if our paths should ever cross again." I said, my voice raised slightly for all the crowd to hear. 'They want a show, they've got one,' I thought, looking up at the 'Heda'. "Thank you for your peace." I murmured to her, hopefully not picked up by the members of the crowd. Despite the cuts I was about to gain, I had a lot of respect for the woman; showing me slight mercy where most others would've killed me. Still, not exactly the best first experience you want on the ground, is it?
