Peter: You slam the hilt of your sword into the dwarf's temple. Watching as he drops to the ground, you feel a pinch of guilt in your gut before ducking, avoiding the minotaur's axe. A figure appears at your side and stabs the minotaur in the chest and as it falls you turn to the person who saved you. King Peter is standing next to you. "I could've handle that," you tell him. "It didn't seem like it," Peter says. You roll your eyes and the two of you both swing at the ogre who is running towards you, swinging his club. "Look, just stay out of my way and it'll be good for both of us. I only joined this army to save my family," you say. Peter doesn't move, just stands there. "Will you get of my way?" you say to Peter, annoyed. "I don't need protecting," you tell him. Just as the words are out of your mouth, your knocked over by another minotaur and he's about to bring down the axe on you when Peter stabs him and kicks him over so he doesn't land on you. He offers you a hand, which you take. "Didn't need any help, right?" Peter says and runs off to save a faun, who you recognize as Tumnus, while your left staring after the king.

Edmund: You charge towards Edmund, the supposed king, and you raise your sword up. He sees you coming and hits your sword. The sprites had taught you sword fighting and you were unbeatable. The two of you fight, parrying and deflecting. Soon he hit the sword out of your hand and pushed you to the ground. He pinned you to the ground and with his face close to yours, he says, "I know what it's like to be under the Witch's spell. You need to snap out of it," Edmund says. You lift your feet and kick him as hard as you can, sending him flying into the back of a centaur. You pick up your sword and run towards him, lifting the sword towards him. He brings his foot under yours, making you fall again. Before you can get up, he grabs your wrists. "Look, I don't know what her minions have promised you, but I know that whatever you want you can get on Aslan's side, all it takes is patience," Edmund says. "Do not speak of that name to me. Gromrael told me that he killed my brother," you hiss. "Gromrael is lying, Aslan wouldn't kill anyone," he says, fighting to get a grip on your wrists. "He killed our rightful queen!" you yell. You wrestle your hands away from Edmund and grab his throat, forcing him to the ground. You sit on him, grab a knife from your boot and start to bring the knife towards his neck. "She killed him," Edmund manages to say, "Jadis, your queen, she killed your brother." You're taken aback and you release his throat. He rubs it and coughs. "How do you know?" you ask. "Because she's put me under the spell too. She tried to kill my whole family, including me," Edmund explains, "Did you eat any of her sweets?" "Yes, Turkish Delight," you say. "That's how she got me too," Edmund says. "How do you know about my brother?" you want to know. "Because I saw Gromrael kill him," Edmund says. You look towards the dwarf who had taken care of you for almost a year now and you are filled with mixed emotions of wanting to cry and wanting to kill someone: Gromrael for revenge and Edmund for telling her. In the end, crying takes over and Edmund gently pushes you off of him then pulls you towards a rocky enclosure, holding you as you cry. You cry yourself dry and Edmund just sits there. Soon your daze is broken by the yell of a minotaur. You look at Edmund, who nods. You crawl out of the enclosure and pick up your sword, walking calmly towards Gromrael and you deflect arrows and swords before coming towards. "This is for (Y/B/N)," you say and stab him with your sword. You turn back towards Edmund and smile at him. "Thank you, Your Majesty," you say, curtsying and he smiles at you.

Caspian: Hearing a commotion behind you, you crane your neck to look behind the tree. You can just barely see Narnians fighting the men who kidnapped you. They're being led by King Caspian. You turn your head away and you soon feel someone cutting the ropes they used to tie you up. You turn to see Caspian kneeling behind you. "Are you handy with a sword?" he asks and you nod. "Good," he says and you pull the gag from your mouth. He hands you a sword and you charge into the crowd. You run into the leader of the band of kidnappers and he roars with anger when he sees that you're free. He tries to knock the sword out of your hand and you clutch it, not allowing it to fall. You hit his sword and kick his shin and eventually he does knock the sword out of your hand. You dive out of the way, under a falling minotaur and you grab your sword. Your foot gets stuck under the minotaur's body and your kidnapper grins, coming towards you. You clutch your sword and try to cut him under the knees. He moves out of the way and into an oncoming arrow. It plunges into his neck and he falls to the ground. You look behind you to see Caspian. "Thank you, Your Highness," you say. "You're welcome," Caspian says and comes towards you. He rolls the minotaur off your foot and helps you up. "What's your name?" he asks. "(Y/N)," you tell him. "Let's get you home," Caspian says. He leads you through the back of the woods to his horse, where you both get on and you wrap your arms around his waist and try to calm yourself down.

Eustace: "(Y/N), please go help Eustace," Caspian asks you. You groan and head off. You've never met Eustace, but you have heard the horror stories that Edmund has told you about how annoying and arrogant he can be. You see him standing with a sword in his hand and you run over to him, attacking someone who's about to kill him. "I can do this myself," Eustace says. You look at him in disbelief. Edmund was right about his voice! Like nails on a chalkboard. "Right, because you almost didn't just die and I didn't just save your life," you say. You notice one of the members of the opposing army throwing knives. "Duck!" you hiss to Eustace. He doesn't get the message and it hits him square in the shoulder. He screams and falls to the ground. You kneel next to him and survey the damage. You pull the knife out and look around for Lucy, with Eustace screaming in the background. Where is that girl when you need her? You stand in front of him, constantly looking out for him. A knight of Narnia has a purpose and yours right now is to protect the little beast or Lucy will never forgive you. You kill dwarves and men and hags before Lucy finally comes to save the day. Pulling out her cordial, she pours a drop over Eustace's mouth. He sputters and coughs and you watch the wound in his shoulder slowly heals itself. "Thank you," Eustace says to you. You nod curtly to him and run off to join in the battle.
