The sun shone down on them as their army stood united on the hill. Oreius, Peter and Athena were all up front, fully armoured and weaponed. Athena was ready to do this, the excitement running through her bones was overwhelming.

A griffin soared overhead and landed gracefully next to Athena. "They come, Your Majesties. In numbers and weapons far greater than our own," He informed them.

"Numbers do not win a battle." Oreius stated confidently.

"No, but I bet they help." Peter muttered and Athena nodded her head.

They watched the witches army appear in the distance and finally the witches themselves on their silver chariots being pulled by two polar bears. But what disgusted Athena the most was that they were wearing collars made from Aslan's mane.

Peter pulled out his sword and everyone behind them cheered, but as he did, the witches army began to move forward. This was really happening. Peter signalled and all the griffins soared above them, dropping rocks onto the army coming for them. Their archers started aiming towards the skies but most of the rocks did their jobs.

Peter turned to Athena. "Are you with me?" He asked.

"To the end of the line." She said confidently.

He nodded and took a shaky breath. "For Narnia, and for Aslan!" He yelled. And with that, their army charged forward.

It felt as though everyone was moving in slow motion as they advanced on the other army. Peter and Athena were leading the way at the front but a few of the jaguars managed to sneak through and get ahead. It felt like a countdown the closer they got.

When they clashed, Athena swung down and sliced off the heads of two dwarves. She pulled herself back up and urged Raven, her horse, to keep going forward. Athena let go of the reins and pulled out her daggers.

Her shield was used to block the arrows flying at her and her sword was mostly used to slice her attacker in half. A Phoenix soared down from above and created a line of fire to block the pathway but the witches simply walked through it as if it was nothing.

Peter and Athena saw the second half of the witches army advancing on them and decided to move forward onto the next part of the plan. 

"Fall back! Draw them to the rocks!" Athena yelled and everyone ran to the rocks. When they were in the right position, the archers fired their arrows and they landed on the witches army.

As Athena saw Conan helping Peter up off the ground, Oreius ran right past them to the oncoming army even after the three of them told him to stop. He ran straight for the witches but Jadis simply used her wand to turn him to stone.

One of the witches generals ran towards her and swung his sword so she ducked and sliced his stomach from underneath. Athena stood up and turned just in time to slice a dwarfs head off before he could attack her. She used her shield to block another attack and fight back ten times harder.

Then her mother came for her.

"This has been a long time coming," Athena sneered.

"We either finish this now, or we'll always be back to haunt each other." Evanna told her.

Athena swung her sword in her hand. "Then let's get it done." 

Evanna swung her sword aiming for Athena's head but the younger girl ducked and managed to cut her arm. Evanna hooked her foot behind Athena's ankle, pulled it making Athena fall backwards. 

After she fell down, Athena couldn't even take a minute to catch her breath as she had to roll out of the way of her mothers sword but the sword caught Athena's arm, slicing a deep cut. Athena quickly stood up and the two swords clashed once, twice, three times.

It was a battle for dominance but right now it seemed Athena had control of the fight. Evanna cut her shoulder, causing Athena to cry out in pain. That's when Conan came up behind and began his fight with Evanna.

As soon as Conan had gotten the witch down on her knees, Athena walked over. "You brought this upon yourself." Athena told her.

Evanna chuckled dryly. "Maybe I did. But the pain it brought you, brought me so much joy."

Athena held her sword in the air one last time. "This is for father." She said. Then Evanna's body fell on the floor with her head rolling next to it.

She took a moment compose herself before she hugged Conan. "We did it," She whispered. "We won." 

Conan took her face between his hands. "Yeah we did. You did."

They looked around and saw that everything had now calmed down since the White Witch was also dead meaning that it was over. Evangeline came running into her arms and the two sisters hugged with their general for a moment, taking in the moment of peace. 

They turned to the other four siblings and saw them all sitting on the ground together as Edmund recovered from his injury, so they ran over.

"Edmund!" Athena called out. "Are you alright?"

He nodded. "Yeah. Thanks to Lucy's potion." He said and the young girl smiled.

The four siblings all laughed and hugged and pulled the two girls in with them as well, Athena felt as if she had found a new family and she didn't want to let go of it.

All of them turned around to see Aslan looking at them from a few feet away. The lion breathed on one of the statues who returned back to his normal state, and not stone. After a minute of all of them looking at each other, Lucy leaned over and picked up her healing cordial.

She stood up slowly and smiled at them all. "What? What is it?" Evangeline asked.

Without answering, the young girl began running to all injured soldiers and giving them some of her healing cordial. Following in Lucy's footsteps, all the others quickly stood up and began helping the injured.
