The Dawn's End

We Have Him

Hi everyone! New chapters are here! Hope you enjoy them!

Susan noticed Caspian's grip on his sword tightened and as his eyes narrowed at the soldiers. She quickly responded by gently and lightly touching Caspian's shoulder. He nodded at her, losing his grip and relaxing his tense shoulders.

The five along walked with their crew straight towards the Telmarine flag waving in the center of the camp. 

Caspian held out his hand signaling everyone to stop. He had to do this alone. He walked ahead into the tent of an old 'friend,' one he hadn't missed.

"Sopespian." Caspian addressed him, stangeling the anger in his voice. "So you survived then."

"Impressive?" He asked, his eyebrows raised and cheeky smile formed.

"No, I regret not imprisoning you myself for what you did to my uncle."

"Your uncle?" He laughed, "He was a tyrant and you know it."

"I don't need to explain myself to you. How did you get an army?" His voiced raised, noticing the hundreds of men Sopespian had.

"They are the telmarine soldiers that survived the second battle at Beruna. They were just as angry as me, and it didn't take much to convince them to join me. Your Aslan couldn't even kill us with his wave. What are you going to do?" He crossed his arms staring directly at the unsure Caspian.

Caspian regained his composure, not breaking the stare.

 "So what? You want to take over like Miraz did?"

"Miraz was weak," He spitted out. "I was going to kill him long before I actually did."

"What is your angle then? You want the kingdom?"

"I want more than one kingdom, which you will never understand boy. I want a new kingdom that is fully mine, to which there are no rebellions and I answer to no one. I realised that taking over just one kingdom would never have truly satisfied me."

"And you think Camus will help you?" He spat, "That is truely idiotic if you think-"

"Camus was the one who approached me with the plan!" Sopespian quickly interrupted, "Genius, he is! With him and I working together, we can burn Narnia to the ground and build a new kingdom from its ashes. And once you are out of the way, I will kill Camus and take all the power for myself."

"Not if we stop you first," Caspian spoke.

Sopespian stepped closer only inches away from Caspian's face.

"If you survive."

Sopespian forcefully pushed the tent flap open blowing the telmarine horn signaling his soldiers. "Attack!" Immediately you could hear the clashing of weapons against each other.

All four Pevensies quickly ran for Aslan's table. They had to put the swords in order on that table in order to defeat Camus and Sopespian's army. Peter slashed around in his way with Rhindon as Susan did the same with her bow. Edmund and Lucy took the path through the trees to hopefully be less seen as they ran through.

Caspian fought Sopespian himself and did not make the mistake of underestimating him. "You should have died a long time ago." Sopespian shouted and then sliced the top layers of Caspian's arm.

Caspian grimaced in pain, he looked over at the blood slowly gushing from his arm, spilling all over his sleeve "I could say the same about you," He grunted charging back at Sopespian.

"Guys!" Edmund shouted as he pointed to the direction of Aslan's table. There was a clear path between them and the table right up the hill. Each of the Pevensies took this opportunity, fighting off the last of the soldiers that stood before them. They started for Aslan's table feet heading towards the hill, when a power wave of energy knocked them back and onto the ground.

Peter got a face full of grass, groaning as he looked up to see if his siblings were okay. His attention was turned to Susan when she spoke with a slight groan.

"What was that?"

"Magic." Lucy realized as they looked up.

A shadow came out of the forest trees, with a familiar crooked smile. "Yes Lucy magic indeed, and quite a strong one from this spell book. I can't thank you enough for retrieving it for me."

"Camus," Edmund snarled. "Get out of our way!"

"I was wondering how long it would take you all to arrive. I was a bit worried that you weren't going to show up," He circled them, hands crossed, eyeing the Pevensies. He noticed how much he was enjoying the look of their suffering and in pain faces

"You," Peter growled in a deep voice. He struggled but used his knees to push himself up. He pulled out his sword and pointed it at Camus' heart. "You betrayer, you kidnapper, you-"

"I understand you are upset, King Peter," Camus interrupted.

Susan grabbed onto Peter as he helped her up onto her feet, keeping her eyes on Camus the whole time. "We trusted you! Why did you betray us?"

"I was always honorable to royalty ever since I was a young lad. Until the day where I was betrayed by my own kingdom. They betrayed me. I was never really from Archland you see, I was from a small kingdom down south. The king of this country allowed for my parents to be killed and sold me into slavery. I had been miserable and powerless my whole life. It drove me mad. Having a kingdom where no one could control me was everything I ever wanted. So I escaped and became a knight. I knew that I could never take over Archland, but Narnia was so new, so vulnerable that I had to take advantage of it. After all, it was ruled by children. My plan would have worked too if it wasn't for your younger siblings. My kingdom would ensure that people would pay for what they did to me. You think you are fair rulers?" Camus snarled, "You don't even know the real world. You are nothing but bloody children!"

"I think we know a thing or two about the real world," Lucy stood up tall.

"Definitely, We have had to go through this puppetry twice after all," Edmund wobbled a bit but made it onto his feet.

"Silence!" Camus shouted, breaking the wind.

"No. I'm sorry about your family, but you can't win."

"How do you plan on defeating me? I have magic, you have nothing."

"That's where you are wrong. We did have someone more powerful than any of your magic," Peter smiled.

"And what is that?"

"Aslan."
