Once, there were four children who stood at an underground train station. They had just returned from a land called Narnia but nobody around them was aware that they ever had left. The children thought that their adventure was over. After all, it wa...
Edmund was still light-headed from all the blood loss when the merpeople dragged him and Lucy to the main room. "The dragging thing is getting old." He thought to himself, but didn't dare to say out loud. When they finally stopped moving he made a sigh of relief. Lucy looked at him, knowing if their plan was going to work, he would have to be at full strength. "I should have fought him on the cordial." She thought to herself.
Once they entered, Camus smiled. "Well, Edmund. Turns out you are special. You are in fact The Crown with the Strongest Will. So, congratulations. Because if you failed, I would have had to take blood out of your sister."
Lucy looked at Edmund. She could tell that he was restraining himself from tackling Camus to the ground. "I would love to know what you plan to do with my blood, if you would so inform me." He mocked in his King's voice.
"Well, I did bring you here to finally kill you two royals. I suppose I could make your death more painful when you know what your kingdom will suffer through once you are gone. It would make you feel like failures after all. So very well, if you must know, Narnia will be no more."
"What is that supposed to mean? Narnia is in Aslan's care. Only he can end it." Lucy spoke.
"Poor Lucy - so pure, so stupid." Camus smirked as he slowly paced around them. "Narnia can be taken down like any other kingdom. You have just gotten lucky." Lucy refused to believe him but didn't speak up. "My plan is very simple actually. I will activate a spell that will create wrath all over the Kingdoms. Once Narnia falls, I will create a new kingdom; one that I can finally dictate. Eventually I will conquer many kingdoms so I finally have enough power to defeat Aslan himself."
"So nothing has changed then." Edmund scolded. "You couldn't have Narnia and now you are going to create a new kingdom?" He scoffed. "That plan will never work."
"That's where you are wrong. For you see, from the ashes of the old rises a new, more powerful one from the phoenix flames. This world will finally be how it should have been. And revenge on everyone who has ever wronged me will be sweet. I can't wait to visit your older siblings once I'm through will you. I'll finally kill your four like I should have done a long time ago."
"Sorry to disappoint you but they aren't in Narnia." Edmund said in a sarcastic voice. "They're somewhere you can never reach them."
Camus let out a huge laugh. Edmund and Lucy looked at eachother confused.

"You don't know!" He exclaimed. "Oh, that makes this even more fun for me!"
"Don't know what?" Lucy demanded but Camus just continued to laugh.
The siblings nodded to each other as the plan took action. Edmund broke free and grabbed Peter's sword hanging in the nearby wall as a trophy. He then attacked Camus, who lost his balance but still blocked the blow. They continued fighting back and forth continuing to block each other. All you could hear was the clanging of the swords. The merpeople were going to step in when Camus shouted, "No! I want this victory for myself!"
As they continued to fight, Lucy looked around for the book. "It has to be around here somewhere" She thought to herself as she scrambled through Camus' things.

Edmund didn't think that he could hold Camus off much longer. The light-headedness was catching up to him and he started to feel dizzy. "Come on Lucy, find it." He thought, as if Lucy could somehow hear it. The dizziness became a distraction to his fighting.
Everything went wrong when Camus pulled a backhanded attack and knocked the sword out of Edmund's hand. Rhindon went flying across the cave. Camus proceeded to knock him to the ground, standing overtop of him with his sword pointed at his chest. "Restrain the other one." Camus commanded the merpeople.
"Hey!" Lucy screamed as the merpeople grabbed her by the arms.
"I expected more from you." Camus told Edmund. "I thought fighting you would be more of a challenge. Though I suppose the loss of blood helped me in my victory." He looked over at Lucy. "Well, I guess you are the unlucky one. You get to watch your brother die right in front of you. But don't worry, you will join him soon after." He looked back at Edmund, sword still pointed at his chest. "Any last words?" He asked as he felt his victory course through his veins.
But before Edmund could answer, he was interrupted by a familiar voice. "Hey!" It shouted.
