Peter emerged from his tent, looking around the camp before he noticed Rosie and Ollie cleaning some armor while talking. From his point of view, Ollie was the one doing the talking as Rosie just listened. He then noticed Oreius walk past him, but then stopped and glanced behind him, making Peter follow his gaze.
There on a rock above camp, stood Aslan and Edmund as the lion talked with the young boy. Lucy and Susan emerged from the tent and noticed Peter looking up at something, so they followed his gaze. "Edmund!" Lucy yelled out as she tried to run towards him, only for Peter to stop her. Rosie turned when she heard Lucy and noticed her siblings looking out, so she followed their gaze. She quietly gasped, getting up before putting the armor aside and was about to run but Ollie held onto her arm, "Hold on, Your Majesty."
Aslan and Edmund glanced over, having heard Lucy. Edmund then turned back to Aslan as the lion gave a firm nod, the conversation being done. Edmund walked down first, followed by Aslan as they walked towards the siblings, as Rosie quietly walked over to the others with Ollie behind her.
Edmund stopped in front of the group as Rosie noticed the cuts that he had on his face, making the young girl want to hug her brother badly. She was just glad he was back safely.
"What's done is done. There is no need to speak to Edmund about what is past." Aslan informed them, giving Ollie a look before walking off.
"I should go, mother needs me." Ollie retorted as Rosie nodded, understanding the lie as he left. The siblings were quiet for a bit, which was slightly killing Rosie, ironically. Then Edmund softly spoke up, "Hello."
Rosie and Lucy couldn't take it as they hugged their brother, Edmund immediately hugging his baby sisters back. Susan followed as Rosie felt Edmund's relief.
"Are you all right?"
"I'm a little tired." He responded as they broke up the hug.
"Get some sleep." Peter told him and the siblings felt a bit of tension between their brothers. Edmund left but then Peter turned, "And Edmund," He turned back, "Try not to wander off." Peter said with a small smile, which caused Edmund to smile back and head inside the tent. Rosie hugged Peter, which he returned, as the siblings were glad that their brother was back.

Rosie had been practicing using her powers with Ollie's mother and Ollie. She learned how to deal with the ice powers first, followed by water, then it went to fire, then air and finally earth. Rosie admitted that it was a lot, and it wasn't easy, but she was reassured by Ollie's mother, Acacia so much that Rosie was getting the hang of it. Ollie would help out as well, which meant that he was used as a target for the most part, which terrified him, but he trusted Rosie and his mother.
Rosie was on her break with her siblings when she was told that Edmund was awake, so Acacia of course, let the girl spend some time with her family. The five Pevensies were sitting around a low table eating breakfast. Edmund was changed as well, wearing a tunic like Peter which made Rosie happy. He munched hungrily on the toast which made her and Lucy smile, "Narnia isn't going to run out of toast, Ed." Lucy joked making Edmund laugh softly with them.
"I'm sure they'll pack something up for the journey back." Peter informed, making his siblings turn to him, confused.
"We're going home?" Susan asked.
"You are. I promised Mum I'd keep you four safe. But it doesn't mean I can't stay behind and help."
"But they need us. All five of us. Especially Rosie." Lucy added.
"Lucy, it's too dangerous. You and Rosie almost drowned! Edmund was almost killed!"
"But Rosie saved me! She also helped Susan distract the wolves and protected you!" Lucy added making Rosie blush slightly at all this while Edmund turned to her, shocked but impressed.
"It's too much for a kid like her to handle all of this." Peter argued.
"I've been practicing." Rosie added, "Acacia's been helping."
Peter softly sighed, glancing at his sister. "It's a big responsibility for a girl like you. You're only nine years old, Rose."
"It's a responsibility I'm willing to take. I have to, Peter." Rosie answered softly.
"Which is exactly why we need to stay." Edmund joined in, making everyone turn to him. "I've seen what the White Witch can do. And I've helped her do it. But we can't leave these people behind to suffer for it." Lucy held Edmund's hand as Susan and Rosie gave each other a look before Susan got up.
"Well, I suppose that's it then." She went to get her bow, making Rosie smile.
"Where are you going?" Peter asked. Susan picked up her bow and quiver, "To get in some practice." She smiled at them before leaving as Lucy followed.
Acacia and Ollie walked up to the three Pevensies, "Hello, Your Majesties. Pleasure to meet you, young majesty." Acacia told Edmund as she and Ollie bowed, "Ready to continue practicing, Rosie?"
"Uh huh." Rosie smiled, taking her last bite of toast before getting up, "See you!" She told her brothers, hugging them before taking Acacia's hand as they left.
"Be careful Rose!" Peter called out.
"Okay!" She yelled back.

"Now, you have been doing great with force fields. Now let's use it for the battlefield." Acacia informed Rosie, who simply nodded. "Luckily, you and Ollie need the practice. Him with his swords and you as well. Now remember, you have the advantages especially with the force fields." Rosie nodded.
Acacia softly chuckled which made Rosie confused, until she turned and saw Ollie's dad, Rowan dragging Ollie onto the field. Ollie was in his armor, and he looked more terrified than ever. Maybe it was because of practice.
"So, today, for this part of practice, we invited your older brothers." It made sense to Rosie now. Ollie was still extremely nervous to talk to her siblings, terrified to be more specific.
She then saw Peter and Edmund on their horses causing Rosie to smile brightly as she waved at her older brothers, who waved back. "Now, we told Ollie this. He's going to be leading you into battle."
Rosie was a bit confused until Ollie spoke up. "I'm basically going to be Queen Rosie's horse." He said shakily, hiding behind his dad. Rosie's eyes widened, "There's going to be teamwork between you and Ollie." Acacia informed before she turned to the Pevensie brothers. "Welcome, Your Majesties. Aslan informed us that since they are the youngest on the battlefield, it's best that they stick together, no matter the circumstances." She informed.
Rosie immediately noticed the unsure look on Peter's face, but then she saw Edmund's face as he gave her a nod of reassurance, making Rosie smile a bit. "Let us start."
