When I arrived back at our Camp everyone swarmed around me to check how I was doing and hug me but I didn't see Susan and Lucy anywhere. Until Peter explained to me that they have gone to find Aslan whilst he thought Miraz in case anything goes wrong. Miraz had arrived and Peter, Edmund, Cat and I went forth with the Narnians cheering behind us.

"There is still time to surrender." Miraz said to Peter when he went into the battle area.

"Well, feel free." Peter smirked.

"How many more must die for the throne?"

"Just one." Peter said as pull down his helmet and began to fight. They thought for what felt like hours. They thought the same pattern which consisted blocking each other swings until Miraz knocked Peters helmet off making Peter swing below at his leg slicing him open making him wince. He then tripped Peter up and hold his shield up for protection but Miraz moved it and then stepped on it twisting his arm the wrong way. I could feel Cat be anxious for her husband for I gave her hand a small squeeze. Miraz tried to swing for Peter again but he rolled out the way and kicked Miraz's injured knee. I saw Peter look over his shoulder to see Susan and Caspian ride in without Lucy.

"Does his highness need a respite?" Miraz said.

"Five minutes?" Peter asked.

"Three." Miraz said as they both started limping back to their sides as Cat helped Peter.

"Lucy." Peter said out of breath to Susan.

"She got through with a little help." Susan said referring to Caspian.

"Thanks." Peter said and smiled towards Caspian.

"Well, you are busy." Caspian said returning the smile.

"Better get up there, just in case. I don't expect the Telmarines will keep their word." He said looking towards where the archers were stood. Susan went forward and hugged her brother causing him to wince.

"Sorry." Susan said.

"It's alright."

"Keep smiling." Edmund said as he looked at the Narnians who looked nervous causing Peter to smile and hold his sword up before sitting down.

"I think it's dislocated." Peter said to Edmund referring to his arm. "What do you think happens back home if you die here? You know, you've always been there. I never really—AWW!" Edmund cut him off by putting his arm back into the socket making me wince.

"Tell me later." Edmund said as Peter got back up to continue fighting Miraz and refused his helmet making Miraz do the same.

Peter quickly attacked Miraz but somehow he managed to block it as he started to hit Peter with his shield causing Peter to fall but quickly recover. Peter then knocked Miraz's sword out of his hand leaving him with no weapon except a shield which he tried to use again but Peter caught it and twisted his arm. He tried to pick his sword but Peter kicked him again in his injured knee causing him to fall down.

"Now's no time for chivalry, Pete!" Edmund shouted at his brother as he had the perfect opportunity to kill him but instead he began to walk away when Miraz rose again.

"Peter! Watch out!" I shouted as Miraz went to hit him but he managed to dodge and stab Miraz causing him to fall once more. Miraz lay at Peters feet but neither one of them moved.

"What's the matter, boy? Too cowardly to take a life?" Miraz said laughing.

"It's not mine to take it." Peter said as he looked towards Caspian and held out his sword which Caspian took.
