Edmund's Pov
When we arrive Peter walks up to us, "did you he-", "yeah" I say cutting him off. Adriana then let's go of my hand and walks towards Aslans tent and Peter and I follow her.

"What are you doing?" I ask but she does respond, she just keeps walking.

She walks into the tent and looks around, I guess she notices he's actually gone and she starts to cry. Seeing her cry makes me want to cry. I walk up beside her and give her a hug and she immediately bugs me back. Then surprisingly Peter walks over and hugs us both. "It's going to be alright" he says calmly, but I can tell he's panicking on the inside.

He lets go of the hug and so does Adriana. She nods and wipes the tears off her cheeks while taking a deep breath.

We all walk out of the tent and see everyone standing in front of us and Orieus stands beside us. "Who will lead us now?" One calls out.

"The Red Knight will" Orieus says and we all look at him.

Adriana's Pov
WHAT! Me, lead an army! That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. "Me? Lead this team into a war?" I ask pointing to myself.

"Yes you. Aslan always believed you could" Orieus says proudly, "I believe you can" he says.

I still can't believe what's happening right now. I try to escape a war in my world and come here and am told to lead a team into a war What if I mess up? If we loose, it's going to be my fault. "What if I mess up?" I ask quietly.

"We all make mistakes" Orieus says, "it's what makes us real."

I take a deep breath and think about what I'm getting myself into. But they need me, I'm the Red Knight. I can't let them down. "Okay" I nod, "I'll do it."

The sun is just about to rise and again, thoughts are rushing through my head. I'm going to be leading an army into a battle. But I can't do this alone. Aslan's dead. This could be my last day. But what happens if I die?

I look over and see someone in the distance standing on the same cliff Aslan and I stood on when I first got here. I walk over and it's Peter. "It's going to be alright" I say and I can tell he's worried.

The thought of me doing this alone is scary, I know I need someone by my side. As much as I want it to be Edmund, I want to keep him safe. Believe me I want to keep everyone safe, if I could I would stop this war but I can't. The only person I can think of to help me is Peter.

"Peter" I say and he looks over at me, "I want you to lead this team into battle with me" I say.

I hope he says yes because I need someone with me. "I don't think I could do it" he says looking down at his feet.

"Of course you can Peter. You've gotten your family this far, you've protected them. And I can't do this alone. I know you can help" I say hoping it will persuade him to help.

He turns and faces me, "alright, I'll help. What's the plan?" He asks.

I show Peter and Orieus the plan and when they approve we go to our team to tell them our plan.

Narnians begin to come out of their tents from changing into their armour and so does Peter and Edmund, but where's Susan and Lucy?

Peter comes and stands beside me and I look out at the team standing in front of me. Some looked scared, some looked determined, and some I can't tell what they're feeling. Honestly I don't even know what I'm feeling.

"Everyone before me has earned their spot on this team, and no matter what happens, we're always family, we're always proud. Together, we will defeat the White Witch and her army and take back Narnia once and for all! For us, AND FOR ASLAN!" I say strongly and hold up my sword and everyone does the same and cheers.

A/N- I don't know how important this chapter is but I feel like it's needed lol. Next chapter should be interesting. Thank you for all the reads and votes!!
