Aslan led us across Narnia and I was certain there was a bit of magic added to get us to the battle field faster.

We were almost there and I still had a dull ache in my side from Edmund and I was terrified about what had happened to him and I was desperate to find my twin.

Aslan raced ahead of us and darted up to the edge of the cliff on a large rock. As he perched himself on the edge he roared at the top of his lungs for all of the fighters below to hear. Everyone out fighting on the battlefield turned to look up in shock as the Lion that had been proclaimed dead appeared.

I pulled my staff from the strap on my back and held it in my right hand as we ran forward to join Aslan. Lucy and Susan, as well Mr. Tumnus stood around me.

"FOR NARNIA!" I yelled while raising my staff in the air. The Narnians around me called out my yell and then together we ran down to join the fight. I ran in desperate search of Peter and Edmund, shooting blasts of fire and ice in random directions at the enemy as I ran.

I spotted several centaurs being over run and then after taking a quick deep breath I began to spin and flip my staff around in my hands, (think of Avatar: The last airbender with airbending.) A large wall of air heading in their direction, it knocked the bad Narnians back a few feet and onto their backs.

The centaurs looked up and spotted me and nodded in thanks. I gave a small wave before heading off again. "Edmund! Peter!" I called. Unfortunately there was no answer. This just fueled my desperation to find my brothers.

I spotted Aslan dash past me, I quickly made to follow him and just as I caught up to see him towering over someone I spotted Peter sprawled on the ground, as word embedded in his arm. "Peter!" I screamed as I ran to him. I didn't notice a dwarf aiming an arrow at me and when I realized what was happening it was too late, an arrow was embedded deep in my side. I collapsed at Peter's side and hastily pulled the arrow from my side. Peter watched in horror as I did this I just gave him a watery smile before looking back to Aslan.

It was only now did I notice that the person he was pinning to the ground was the Witch and in the blink of an eye he attacked. I couldn't see from here what he had done and I'm kind of glad about that, as I really didn't want to see someone being mauled by a lion, even if the lion was a close friend and said person was trying to kill my family.

Peter pulled the sword form his arm and together, with his help, we got back onto our feet. Time seemed to slow down around just the two of us and Aslan as the lion turned to look at us and it seemed as though everyone was flashing past us at top speeds.

Aslan turned slowly to face us and we watched, completely frozen to the happenings around us and he then said, "It is finished." I gave a sigh of relief. Then the pain in my side sparked up again.

"Peter! Dawnie!" came Lucy's voice from behind us. "Peter! Dawn!" called Susan who was right behind her. I started searching for Edmund as Lucy ran up and latched onto Peter. Susan met my gaze and knew immediately what I was up to.

"Wheres Edmund?" Susan asked Peter. Peter and Lucy then joined in the search for my twin. We raced off with Peter to where he had last seen Ed. I could feel that it was getting hard for Edmund to breath.

We finally caught sight of Edmund. He was lying sprawled out on the ground, one hand near the wound in his side. He was gasping for breath. The dwarf that with the red hat from before (this dwarf seemed to show up everywhere) approached raising an axe above his head.

"Edmund!" cried Susan and I as we spotted what the dwarf was at. I noticed what Susan was doing, aiming an arrow and so using my staff I lit the arrow a light with fire. Susan's eyes widened a fraction just before letting the arrow loose and hitting the dwarf right on. The fire just gave it a bit more kick. The dwarf fell backwards and didn't move, so we ran forward towards Edmund to check the damage.
