Chapter 5: Aslan's How

~3rd Person P.O.V.~

Y/n walked beside Peter, Caspian walking with them as the three and the others all walked through the forest. Eventually, they came to a stop at the end of the forest, revealing a giant field. From afar, stood Aslan's How.

When they made it to the How, many centaurs lined up on each side, unsheathing their swords before aiming them upwards. On instinct, the kings and queens all walked forwards together. Lucy and Y/n watched as a little centaur smiled at them, one of the centaurs beside him having to push his arms up, the sword following.

Soon enough, the kings and queens made it inside the How, Caspian following them, revealing more fauns, dwarfs, minotaurs all working hard inside, not really noticing the humans walk in.

"It may not be what you are used to, but it is defensible." Caspian speaks, stopping beside Edmund and Peter.

"Peter." Y/n calls, all their gazes snapping to her. "You may want to see this." Instantly, Peter goes after his girlfriend, thinking something was wrong, but stops when he sees his sisters beyond the wall.

The kings and queens, and Caspian, stare at the walls before them. On the stone, drawings of familiar looking people sat there.

"It's us." Susan states.

"What is this place?" Lucy questions.

"You don't know?" Caspian asks back.

Taking the curious stares for his answer, Caspian grabbed the torch beside him, then leading the five more into the cave, all of them looking at the drawings as they walked. Eventually, they made it to the end, where Caspian lit up the torch's around the room, revealing a familiar broken stone table sitting in the middle, a picture of a lion on the stone walls behind it.

The youngest of them takes slow steps forward, eventually standing right in front of the stone table, the four oldest slowly following her. Lucy gently rests her hand on the stone, memories from the last time they were there going through her mind.

"He must know what he's doing." Lucy states, glancing over her shoulder, meeting her sister and friend's eyes.

"I think it's up to us now." The high king informs, glancing at his girlfriend and siblings.

They all glance at one another before staring back up at the stone picture of the lion before them.

The kings and queens and Caspian had now been joined by the Narnian's. Peter stood in the middle of the room, as Lucy sat on the stone table.

"It's only a matter of time. Miraz's men and war machines are on their way." Peter informs. "That means those same men aren't protecting his castle."

"What do you propose we do, Your Majesty?" Reepicheep asks.

"We need to get ready for it."

"To start planning for..."

Both Caspian and Peter responded at the same time. Peter turns to Caspian, both of them staring at each other. Eventually, Caspian nods, letting the king continue.

"Our only hope is to strike them before they strike us." Peter explains.

"That's crazy. No one has ever taken that castle." Caspian argues.

Peter looks at him and shrugs. "There's always a first time."

"We'll have the element of surprise." Trumpkin states.

"But we have the advantage here!" Caspian exclaims.

"If we dig in, we could probably hold them off indefinitely." Susan says, walking up beside the prince.
