Nia woke with a yawn, stretching her arms she looked around to figure out what the fuck was going on.
"You're awake!" Lucy exclaimed, as she stopped picking wild flowers to go over to Nia.
   "Where's Peter, Is he ok?" Nia glanced around again noticing the missing members of the group.
   "Peter and the others went to get the scrolls, they should be back in about and hour or so"
    "They should've waited for me I could help them"
    "You needed to rest you look dead"
    "Wow thanks" Nia laughed, "but honestly I feel fine, great even."
   Lucy looked at her slightly confused,
    "Are you sure? You still look kinda dead, no offence"
    "Idk how you expect me to not be offended by that, but I actually feel kinda stronger than before"
  The two girls sat in silence for a moment, "Hey look water! I need to bathe," Nia got up quickly and went over to the water.
Taking off the outer layer of her clothes, she was left in her slip dress as she entered the pool by the waterfall.

The remaining group members had arrived to the tombs in record time because of the pace that Peter set.
"Damn it only took us like 30 minutes to get here?"
"Yea because he knows how to read a map" Susan rolled her eyes at Ed
"Yea and he also knows how to walk really fast" Enne muttered to Edmund, who snorted in response.
"Can you guys be serious for a second?" Peter asked annoyed, "I wanna get this done as soon as possible"
"So you can get back to your girlfrienddd?" Ed teased but was shut up by a glare from Peter. The younger brother turned to Enne, "See I told you he's a bummer" The two laughed quietly to themselves as they searched for an entrance to the tombs.
Enne leaned on a wall close by and heard something click behind her. Suddenly the walls parted revealing the entrance down into the tombs. Peter hesitated for a long time, getting flashbacks from the last time he was underground.
Enne, Susan and Edmund exchanged a worried look. "Maybe you should stay up here?" Susan offered
"No- No I'm fine just give me a minute" The king replied rubbing his face.
"Peter don't worry, us three can handle it. You should rest"
Before Peter could resist again Enne chimed in, "It would actually be better because we need someone to stand watch just in case anything happens" She knew this would convince him to stay above ground and not feel useless.
"Yea ok," Peter warily glanced back at the entrance before handing Edmund the map, and then taking it back and handing it to Susan.
"It shouldn't take you more than an hour to find the scrolls, I've outlined the route you need to take and any possible traps so you should be fine."
The three nodded and headed down. It was set up like a labyrinth but with the route already laid out for them it was like a walk in the park.
"I think this whole thing is taken a toll of Peter, he looks like shit"
Enne hit him in the arm, "My God Ed! He's been through a lot, what do you expect him to be? Skipping with joy?"
"In fact we've all been through quite a bit, I say when we get back we do something that we call sit back and relax and enjoy ourselves for once." Susan offered
"Yes For sure," Enne agrees sighing, "that's after we do the whole war thing again"
"I forgot about that" Ed groaned, "on the bright side it looks like we're here"
The three came to a stop in front of a big casket.
"Ok go open it" Enne nudged Edmund.
"Why me?!"
"Well you can't read a map might as well do something useful" She said half joking. Groaning, Ed slowly walked forward, "For the record I know you can't read a map either" He called back to Enne.
Cautiously Ed opened the latch and swung the door open. Inside was an armoured skeleton hold the scrolls. Ed poked the skull with his sword before quickly grabbing the scrolls and shutting the casket. He sighed heavily, "Let's get the fuck outta here"

Lucy came by to sit at the edge of the pool and dip her toes in.
"So what happened in those caves?"
Nia cringed slightly before explaining the basics of what happened, leaving out the gory details.
"So maybe you're turning into them, that's why you feel so strong"
"I doubt that, they never finished the ritual or whatever. Maybe I'll be like Jennifer from Jennifer's body."
"What's Jennifer's body?"
"Oh it's a movie about this girl who turns into a succubus"
"What's a succubus?"
Nia shrugged "Like a seductive demon?"
"Seductive?" Lucy asked still confused
"Uh you know what it's not important" Nia waved off quickly, "We can just ask Aslan what I am later on"
Their conversation was interrupted as they saw the four figures approaching them.
"Peter!" Nia called, running to hug him. He hugged her back with the same intensity before pulling away to inspect her for any sign of injury. He looked confused for a second, "Why are you wet and what are you wearing?"
Nia pulled away quickly as she realized her state and felt heat come to her face, Lucy came up to them laughing and holding out Nia's coat for her to cover up.
"IS THAT MY BESTIE I SEE?" Nia yelled as she saw Enne. She skipped over to her friend and hugged her. Grinning she whispered in a sing song voice, "I saw you and Edmund" she winked badly, referring to when the two were walking hand in hand. Enne blushed "shut up like you didn't have a whole romcom moment three seconds ago"
The two laughed as Nia hugged Susan and ruffled Edmunds hair.
The mood had instantly been lifted as the six of them started their journey home.
