~*~*~*~

Once we had gotten back I saw the sight of how hurt and beat up Peter was. He was limping with blood on his face. I look up Susan who gives me worried eyes but I nod to her in assurance that Lucy was ok. Then Caspian and I both rush over to Peter. Once we got over there Peter stared at me with worried eyes just like Susan.
"Lucy?" He asks linking over
"She made it through, with some help" I nod
"Thanks" Peter says to Caspian
"Well you were busy" he shrugs

"Peter are you sure I can't help? I could take your place-" I start to tell him
"No, I need to do this" he cuts me off
I give him a nod understanding, Aslan said he was learning a valuable lesson, and I do not want to be the one who ruins it.
"Keep smiling" Caspian speaks up looking from the crowd to Peter.
Peter looks at him before putting on a smile and raising his sword. Our army erupts with cheer.

As he sat Caspian removed his armor. Peter groaned as Edmund and I looked at his arm.
"I think it's dislocated" he tells us
"Let me help you-" I start to say
"No... what do you think happens back home if we die here?" Peter asks us
"No that will not be happening on my watch" I tell him moving over to his hurt arm
"You know I've always been there and I never really-" he starts to ramble but yells out in pain when I pop his shoulder back in place without a warning
"Save it for later" Edmund pats him
"Go be a King" I nod as I help him up to go fight again

The battle was nasty, that was the only word I could honestly find to describe it. The fight went back a forward, Peter gets hit, gets up, and hits him back. But Peter had something he didn't have, the Will Power to keep fighting. Miraz soon grew tired and Peter used that as a chance to knock him down and punch his injury.
"Respite! Respite!" Miraz suddenly yells out in surrender
Peter quickly stops falling down himself in victory
"Now's not the time for chivalry Peter!" Edmund yells at him
But Peter just turns away and starts limping towards us
"Peter behind you!" I yell when I see Miraz standing up with his sword attacking Peter.
But Peter reacted quickly, dodging the sword, then twisting it around making Miraz's breath hitch. Miraz grabs where the knife had stabbed him and kneels down exhausted.

Peter then walks forward with the sword in his hand, raises it in the air. But doesn't move.
"What's the matter boy? Too cowardly to take a life?" Miraz asks
Peter lowers the sword
"It's not mine to take" he tells him and hands the sword to Caspian who takes a step forward
"Perhaps I was wrong. Maybe you do have the markings of a Telmarine king after all" Miraz tells him
Then Caspian lets out a scream raising the sword, before stabbing it into the ground right in front of him.
"Not one like you. Keep your life. But I am giving the Narnians back their kingdom" Caspian tells him before turning back to us.

I give him a proud smile and I could almost see his cheeks getting a little pink as he smiles back.
Then I turn to help Peter.
"So what, are you going to copy all my lines?" I ask him
"Yeah thought I'd follow after the High Queens footsteps" he smirks as I let out a small laugh

But all the cheering and shouting stopped in an instant.
When lord Sopespian yells out
"Treachery! They shot him! They murdered our king!" He says as I see a arrow in his side
I glance at Susan who shakes her head, it was a set up.

Sopespian then grabbed the sword that was in the ground, raising it in the air yelling at his army.
Peter turned around to face ours.
"Be ready!" He yells
"Peter!" Caspian yells pointing at the people charging at him
"Go!" Peter yells at us and we jump onto our horses

"To arms Telmar!" They yell before sending catapults our way
"Cavalry attack!" I hear him say and that's when the battle had fully begun
"Archers to the ready!" Susan yells
Peter looks back at Caspian, and he quickly rushes inside.

I stand in front with Peter, waiting for the right timing.
"One...two..." he mumbles as more boulders came
"Five... six...." I mumble with him
"Take your aim!" Susan yells as I grip my sword tighter
"Eight.... Nine...." Peter mumbles
"Get ready!" I yell
And that's when the ground crumble's beneath the Telmarines rushing at us.
"Now!" Susan yells as the archers release their arrows

We all charged towards the battle, taking down everyone we could see. But by the time their numbers were getting fewer I looked up to see thousands of more soldiers lined up, making their way toward us. I look at Peter but he was already looking at me.
"Back to the How!" Peter yells and everyone turns back

As we start to run I hear them loading their catapults, they were going to fire at the entrance.
"Stop! Wait!" I scream but it was too late, the boulder has hit the entrance causing rocks to break and fall hitting our warriors who were running inside.
Then I watch as the ground beneath Susan breaks, she grabs onto the side but her grip on the edge slips, thankfully Trumpkin grabs her hand. But his grip soon fails, but he slowed it down just enough for the rocks to fall into place before she landed on them.

Susan and Edmund join Peter's and my side. Caspian standing with us as well. Before we all charged into battle once more.
