Narnia's Saviours

Narnia VS Telmar

"Kettles and Kettledrums, that's your next big plan? Sending a little girl into the darkest parts of the forest, alone?" Trumpkin asked walking around the stone table and toward Lucy
"It's our only chance" Peter said
"And she won't be alone" Susan added beside Lucy
I just kept my head rested on Edmunds shoulder. If all went south this might be our last proper time together
"H-ha-haven't enough of us died already?" Trumpkin asked Lu
"Nikabrik was my friend too. But he lost hope, Queen Lucy hasn't, and neither have I" Trufflehunter stepped forward from Ed and I

A sword was drawn, Reepicheep held it to his little body. "For Aslan" he said
"For Aslan" Bugly Bear said
"Then I'm going with you" the dwarf said
"No, we need you here" Lucy put her hand on his shoulder

"We just need to hold them off until Lucy and Susan get back" Peter said
"If I may?" Caspian spoke up, he looked at his professor, then to me, I nodded as encouragement
"Miraz may be a tirent and a murderer, but as king he is subject to the traditions and expectations of his people. There is one, in particular that may by us some time" he said

After he explained Peter went to write a declaration. Edmund and I got our armors on. Mine was much like Susan's, but rather a skirt I had trousers to allow me to ride Tyra easier.
"Couldn't you have remembered any other little laws, before, we had a hundred killed?" I teased Caspian as I followed Edmund outside
"I didn't remember" he shrugged and went to my sisters

I walked with Edmund, who was carrying an olive branch, Glenstorm who also carried the branch, and one of our giants.
I trotted along beside them, Tyra was furious, she hadn't wanted me to leave. But I had to

Edmund and I walked into the 'kings' tents, there was an open rectangle of seats at a table
And Edmund began to read out what Peter had written
"I, Peter, by the gift of Aslan, by election and by conquest, High King of Narnia, Lord of Cair Paraval and Emperor of the Lone Islands, in order to prevent the abolishment of fusion blood, do herby challenge the User-pent Miraz to single combat upon the field of battle. The fight shall be to the death, the reward shall be total surrender" he read
"Tell me prince Edmund-" Miraz started but I stopped him
"King" I said
"Pardon me?" Miraz asked
Edmund looked at me with a smirk and turned to Miraz
"It's King Edmund actually. Just King though, Peters the High King, I know it's confusing" Ed said to the crowd of confused men

"Why, would we risk such a proposal, when our arms could wipe you out by nightfall?" Miraz asked
"Haven't you already underestimated our numbers? I mean, only a week ago, Narnians were extinct" I said with a knowing smile
"And so you shall be again" Miraz said
"Well, then you should have little to fear" Edmund said
Miraz laughed at that "this is not a question of bravery" he said

I smirked knowing we had him
"So you're bravely refusing to fight a swordsman half your age?" Edmund asked sarcastically
"I didn't say I refused" Miraz leaned forward
"You shall have our support your majesty, whatever your decision" one of Miraz's lords said
"Sire, our military advantage alone, provides the perfect excuse to avoid whatever-" the lord beside Miraz said
Miraz clearly didn't like that and lifted his sword angrily "I am not avoiding anything" he said
"I was merely pointing out my lord is well within his rights to refuse" the same lord said
"His majesty would never refuse. He relishes in the challenge to show the people the courage of their new king" the general behind us said
I looked, he clearly had a dislike for Miraz, but was afraid to disobey

Miraz looked at us. And pointed his sword

"You. You should  hope your brothers sword is sharper than his pen" Miraz threatened

I gave a mocking head bow, and left the tent with Edmund. "Let's go, we have a king to prepare" I said to the centaur and giant outside
