Jadis' Daughters

Visit

Miranda's pov:-

On hearing the horn both Ed and I are ready to follow Peter and Eliza but Aslan stops us. "It is their fight. Wait for 5 minutes then follow them."

We wait and after 5 minutes run after them. We see Peter and Eliza back to back. Peter facing of against Maugrim, Eliza with another wolf.

Seeing Peter grip his sword I can tell that he doesn't know how to use one. The one facing Eliza jumps first. She kills it with no problem.

"What are you going to do with the sword little king?" Maugrim taunts Peter. He jumps on Peter without giving him any time to think. They both fall on the ground without moving. Susan and Lucy who were sitting on the tree jumps down and rushes to Peter.

Ed and I see the bushes rustling on the other side of the creek. We go over to check it. The others notice after we have crossed the creek. Ed is in front of me and reaches the bush first.

He has already drawn his sword. A wolf jumps on him but he kills it easily. While a few others come out of different bushes.

"Susan Lucy behind us." I hear Eliza shout. I am throwing fireballs as fast as I can while Ed is behind me and taking care of the other wolves.

When all the wolves on our side of the creek is dead we both look over at the other side. Susan and Lucy are back up the tree. Peter and Eliza are being overwhelmed by the number of wolves.

Ed rushes over while I stay where I am throwing fireballs. "Peter look out!" I hear someone shout.

I look over to see a shimmering white wall in front of Peter and a wolf lying a bit away as if he was thrown by something. Ed quickly kills the wolf.

"Is that all?" Susan asks from the tree in a small voice.

"Yes", I answer after quickly using my magic to sweep the area.

Aslan comes from behind me. We cross the creek and I help Lucy and Susan get down from the tree.

"Clean your swords Peter and Edmund." He tells them.

While they are cleaning their swords I turn to Eliza. "From when can you use magic?" I ask.

"This is the second time. The first time was when we were crossing the river. A wolf was going to jump on Peter and on instinct I held my hand out and something white was protecting him."

I look her over before noticing the pendant on her neck. It's the same one as mine. "Where did you get that?" I ask pointing at the pendant.

"Father Christmas gave this to me as a gift."

Ed looks up from cleaning his sword. "It looks like the one he gave you." He tells me after looking at the pendant.

"When did he give it to you? And what did he say after giving it to you?"

"He gave this to me about ten minutes before I used magic for the first time and he told me it will help me with something. What he didn't say."

"It is clear now with what. It helps you use magic", Peter says walking up to us. "It glows white whenever you use magic."

"I would say it helps you control it as well." Ed says. "So he expected you to use magic but you yourself didn't."

"That's all I ever wanted to do. And now I did it and don't know how to control it."

"I can help with that." I tell her.

Elizabeth's pov:-

After Pete and Edmund had been knighted, we make our way back to the tents.

"I have to ask how did you manage to kill all those wolves so easily?" Susan asks looking at Edmund.

"Well I know how to use a sword and I used that knowledge to kill those wolves." Edmund answers. I don't believe it and neither did his siblings.

"That is not the entire story. You have killed another wolf before haven't you?" I ask.

He simply nods his heads. We wait for him to continue but he doesn't. "I was busy with Maugrim's brothers and didn't notice another one coming behind me. He did and killed it." Mira explains.

"How much experience did you have using a sword when you killed it?" Pete asks.

"None. All I knew was how to hold a sword properly. I knew I had to stop it somehow so I just swung my sword down and it died. That's all I know." Ed answers speaking very quickly.

At this moment Mr. Beaver ran upto us. "The witch has demanded a meeting with Aslan."

My face pales. I see Edmund and Mira exchange looks. Mira reaches out and squeezes Edmund's shoulder.

We follow Mr. Beaver to Aslan's tent. I start to walk over to stand behind Aslan. Mira and Pete gives me questioning looks.

"I have been standing there for the last forty years. Don't worry I will be okay." I reassure them. The rest of them stand nearest to us.

Everyone parts to make way for Jadis. Murmurs go through the crowd but I keep my eyes on Jadis. I had last seen her fifty years ago.

"Jadis, the Queen of Narnia." Ginarrbrik chants as he walks in front of Jadis who was sitting on a throne which ogres are carrying. "Empress of the Lone Islands!" He continues to chant as the crowd starts getting angry. As he keeps chanting her titles the crowd starts shouting at him.

The ogres set the throne down. Jadis stands up from the throne. She squints at Edmund, Mira and then at me. "You have a traitor amongst your midst Aslan."

I let out a deep breath. A traitor?! The siblings look at Edmund. Mira holds Edmund's hand.

"His offence was not against you." Aslan says narrowing his eyes at Jadis.

Jadis lets out a small smirk. "Have you forgotten the laws upon which Narnia was built?"

Aslan lets out a roar. "Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it were written." Aslan snarls at her.

Jadis paused before continuing. "Then you'll remember that every traitor belongs to me. His blood is my property."
Jadis says with a smirk. "And you will return my daughters, Elizabeth and Miranda to me."

"You will leave Eliza and Mira out of this." Aslan roars.

"Try to take them then." Peter challenges drawing his sword at the same time as Aslan. Mira reaches over and pulls his hand down. "Don't", she whispers.

Jadis doesn't even flinch. She lets out a small laugh. "Do you really think that mere force will stop me from my right... little King?" She smirks. "Aslan knows that unless I have blood, as the law demands, all of Narnia will be overturned and perish in fire and water."

Aslan and I hung our heads. "The boy will die on the Stone Table.... as is tradition." The camp gasps and Edmund's siblings look terrified and Mira hugs Edmund. Jadis turns back to Aslan. "You dare not deny me", she challenges.

"Enough", Aslan calls out. The camp goes silent. " I will speak to you alone." Jadis raises an eyebrow and starts walking towards us.

I go in first, Jadis behind me and Aslan comes last.
