RETURN OF THE LION

"Having someone you love return to you is the most wonderful feeling in all the realms "

FEAR IS A POWERFUL SOURCE OF WEAKNESS.

We ran behind the Telmarines, who were running frantically towards the river until they abruptly stopped and we had no choice but to stop as well.

The soldiers in the back held their swords up to us as they awaited to proceed forward. But they couldn't.

Standing on the other side of the bridge stood a brave Lucy, holding out her dagger, ready to take on the entire Telmarine army. 

My lips formed a proud smile as she kept her gaze firm and for a second it reminded me of an older Lucy when she was in battle. The Telmarines were in a state of shock and confusion to what was even happening. 

Then slowly, Aslan emerge from behind Lucy and walk over until he was beside her. If my face could crack from how hard I was smiling, it would have. I turned to look at Nathaniel, who was staring at his Father in awe and love, somehow looking even more beautiful than he already was.

Lord Sopespian, not accepting defeat nor giving into fear, lead the charge against Lucy and Aslan. I saw how for a second, some of the Narnians were fearful but all was change when we heard the great roar of Aslan, and the army halted.

"I'm assuming this isn't your magic" Caspian whispered as he stare to eastwards.

Following Aslan's roar, a giant wave came towards the bridge before forming into a the River God. Everyone remain still and amaze as the water spirit ripped the bridge upwards with its hands.

Soldiers and horses jumped off the bridge, desperately trying to flee the River God. The only merciless soldier left was Lord Sopespian, who refuse to surrender, and the water crashed down on him before descending back into a calm river.

The remaining Telmarines, without a leader or instigator, lower their weapons and surrender. The battle was over and, once again, the Narnians were triumphant. The Narnians and Telmarines started to make their way through the river as weapons were surrender.

The six of us made our way through the water to Aslan and Lucy before kneeling in front of Aslan.

"Rise, Kings and Queens of Narnia," Aslan commanded. Peter, Susan, Edmund, Nathaniel and I stood up while Caspian remain kneeling down.

"All of you."

"I do not think I am ready," Caspian confessed.

Aslan smiled tenderly, "For that very reason, I know that you are,"

I offer Caspian a smile and a hand. He smile gently before taking, hesitantly, taking it and rising to his feet alongside all of us.

My siblings and I shared a knowing glance as we were once in Caspian's position and we understood how exactly he is feeling at the moment.
