~*~*~*~

When I woke in the morning I knew it was done. Aslan had died, now war was coming.

I stood with Edmund and Oreius as Peter went into Aslan's tent.
"She's right. He's gone" Peter says walking out
"Then you'll both have to lead us. Peter, Cora, there's an army out there and it's ready to follow you" Ed tells us
"I can't" Peter says
"Aslan believed you could. And so do I." Edmund tells Peter as he looks up with a grateful smile
"It's time we start believing in ourselves" I tell them both repeating the words Aslan told me

"The witch's army is nearing your majesty's. What are your orders?" Oreius asks us as I look at Peter. I give him a nod before speaking up.
"Well then, I must get changed" I smile before starting to walk off
"Changed?" Peter asks me
I turn around and smile at him
"You don't think I'm going into war in a dress, do you? If I must fight I'd would rather wear something I can move it" I laugh before turning away again

I stood with Peter and Oreius, well more of sat considering I was on a horse.
"They come, your majesty's. In numbers and weapons far greater than our own" he tells us after flying out to look
"Numbers do not win a battle" Oreius tells him
"No, but I bet they help" Peter replys as we watch the witchs army make their way up the hill.

Peter and I look back at Edmund who gives us a small nod. Then we both pull out our sword holding it high. Our army erupts with yells as we do, raising their weapons high.

Then the witch's army begins to charge.
"Your call Peter" I tell him as he waits for the right timing
Then he moves his sword as the birds, actually I don't know what they are called fly over us. They fly over the witch's army and drop their rocks. Hitting countless of them.

Then Peter looks at Oreius
"Are you with me?" He asks him
"To the death" Oreius reply's
"Cora" he says turning to me
"Together" I nod then we both turn back to face their army

"For Narnia and for Aslan!" Peter and I both yell as we take towards them, are army following behind.

Everything felt to go in slow motion. Until we reached their army, then everything felt like it was going all too fast.
I stayed in front with Peter as we swung our sword at all who passed. Swing after swing their army never seemed to lessen.

I had jumped down from my horse as I looked towards the witch. She slowly rode forward as more of her army appeared. Then the Phoenix flys in front putting a long line of fire between us and her army. Our army cheers and yells as their army stumbles back.

But the witch easily puts out the fire and keeps moving forward.
"Fall back! Draw them to the rocks!" Peter yells
I whistle for my horse and it comes running to me, I start to run as I grab onto it, swinging onto its back as we run back towards the rocks.

As we run back to the rocks our archers shoot their arrows slowing down their army.
Then an arrow hits my horses leg, causing it to fall to the ground, me with it. I look to my right to see Peter in the ground as well.

Once we stand we were face to face to the oncoming army. I make eye contact with the witch as I see her determined face.
I turn around when I hear people behind us running, I watch as Oreius and a rhino charge forward.
"No! Oreius! " I yell
"Stop!" Peter yells at him
But he doesn't listen. He was going for the witch.

I watch as he takes down anyone in his way, then he jumps at the witch who dodges his attack. He goes to swing at her again but she stabs him with her wand stick.

And he turns to stone.

"No! Oreius!" I cry out in a yell
Then I join the fight again, taking down anyone near me. My attention stays on fighting until a bright light shines.
I turn to see Edmund who had broken the witch's wand. Then the witch stabs Edmund in the stomach.
"No! Edmund!" I scream as I watch him fall to the ground
I start to fight everyone in my path as I watch Peter run towards her. I needed to get to her, now.

I take down each person as I run towards the witch and Peter. I watch as Peter's shield gets thrown to the side, she lifts up her sword about to strike Peter. But I got there just before she could.
I block her sword as she stares at me in shock.

Then we start to fight. I swing her causing her to lean back dodging my attack. She stabs her sword at me as I block it with mine and move to the side. She spins around swinging at my other side, but I was quick to react and drop down.

Due to her swinging so hard she lost her momentum trying to slow her arm down. I use that time to jump up knocking her sword out of her hand, leaving her completely defenseless.
I put the tip of my sword on her chest as she stares at me wide eyed
"Can't do it, can you? If you're the Queen they say you are, kill me" she taunts as she saw me pause

I could hear Aslan in my head, telling me what to do. A small smile forms on my face
"Your life isn't mind to take" I tell her before dropping down to the ground, and just as I do Aslan jumps over me.

I hear him roar before the yells of the witch stop.
It was over. The witch was dead.

Peter runs over to my side as Aslan walks in front of us.
"It is finished" he nods
"Peter! Cora!" We hear Susan and Lucy yell running down the hill
We quickly turn around as they tackle us in a hug.
"Where's Edmund?" Susan asks and Peters and my eyes go wide.

We all take off running to where Edmund was. Susan quickly shoots an arrow at a dwarf who was trying to stab Edmund. He falls backyards as we quickly go to Edmund's side.
Susan takes off Edmund's helmet as we watch him try to breath.
Lucy takes out her healing liquid she was given. She drops it into his mouth.
But it was too late, Edmund takes his last breath.

We all let out sobs as we look at him.
Then he starts to breathe again. We all let our happy sighs as he opens his eyes. Peter quickly grabs him and pulls him into a tight hug.
"When are you gonna learn to do as you're told?" Peter laughs as they pull apart, only for all of us to tackle him into another hug

Then we turn to see Aslan walking over, he breaths onto one of the warriors turned to stone, and he comes back to life. Lucy smiles as she picks up her gift again, then she takes off running, going to warrior to warrior bringing them back to life.

I smile as I watch, then I heard someone behind me. I turn to see Oreius standing there
"Oreius!" I yell and run over giving him a hug
"My Queen" he nods returning the hug
"Don't die on my again, that's an order" I tell him trying to not let any tears fall
"Understood your majesty" he smiles
