15 years after the Battle of Beruna...
"Damn it!" Edmund exclaimed. "When did you get so good?"
Evie chuckled and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Darling, you've been teaching her for the past 2 years, she was going to beat you eventually."
Edmund was currently annoyed because he had lost a game of chess to Athena. "You're just jealous because you've finally met your match." Athena told her brother-in-law.
Edmund scoffed. "As if."
"Feeling any better?" Susan asked Athena as she sat down by her. Athena hadn't been well the past few days.
"A little," She answered. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."
Peter laughed as he walked in. "No you won't, you'll still be lying in bed acting as if it's your last day alive." He told her.
"Oh shove off." Athena hit his arm as everyone laughed.
Lucy shook her head and sat down next to Peter. "No she won't, otherwise Susan won't let her attend the party next week."
They all sat talking for a while before Mr Tumnus ran in saying a White Stag had been spotted in the Western Wood.
"Oh we have to go!" Lucy exclaimed. "The last one was years ago!"
Everyone else agreed. "You coming Thena?" Evie asked her.
"No, I think I'm going to go for a lie down," She told them. "I'll meet you all at dinner."
They nodded and said their goodbyes, well, everyone but Peter. "You're sure you don't want to come?" He asked her.
"Positive, Pete," She nodded. "I need some sleep. Good luck." He nodded, kissed her on the head and the five of them headed off.

The five Kings and Queens raced through the wood, following the White Stag. Peter was in the lead with the others slowly catching up but Evie slowed down when she saw Edmund and Phillip stop.
"Are you alright Phillip?" Edmund asked his horse.
"I'm not as young as I once was." He replied.
The others soon came riding back over. "Come on Ed." Susan said.
"Just catching my breath." He told his sister.
"That's all we'll catch at this rate!" Evie laughed.
Lucy turned to them. "What did he say again girls?" She asked.
