Aslan's P.O.V.

"What is it Strawberry?" I ask the horse.

"How is Evangeline doing?" He asks me.

"Evangeline? Well I presume." I say.

"Bring her back your greatness. Don't let her fade away from here." He says, then he turns his tail and leaves me alone.

Evangeline's P.O.V.

I unsheath Telmar and hold it up to the dummy.

The dummy holds up its wooden staff and then it swings.

I roll out of the way and thrust Telmar towards the dummy, but it parries me with its staff.

"What are you doing here, my daughter?" Aslan says.

I look at him, but stay silent.

"Weapons are for men, not girls." He says.

I stay silent and continue to spar with the dummy.

"Evangeline." He says.

I ignore him.

"Evangeline answer me." He says.

He really hasn't been paying attention at all to me then, because if he did, he would have noticed that I don't talk.

I go to jab at the dummy, but instead a sword crosses mine instead.

I look up and see that it is Aslan who has dared cross swords with me. The others in the field fall silent and watch.

I step into the middle of the sparring ring, and face Aslan.

"Evangeline, you hardly even know how to handle a sword." Aslan says.

I see many men smile at his ignorence.

Aslan makes the first move, stabbing at my ribs with a deft move of his arm.

I flick my wrist and Telmar parries the blow and then I swing at Aslan's exposed chest.

Aslan narrowly evades the attack and counters with a foolishly extravagant move.

I easily side step his attempt and manage his sword from him, crossing both at his neck.

He stares at me in shock.

Many of the men are whispering.

I hand Aslan his sword and sheath Telmar before stalking off.

Men.
