 "It's only a matter of time Miraz's men and war machine are on their way. That means those same men aren't protecting his castle" Peter stated, i was on the broken table with Lucy and Chris

"What do you suppose we do your majesty" Reep asked both Caspian and Peter spoke

"We need to get ready for it" Peter

"To start planning for" Caspian. He had an internal battle with himself but let Peter continue.

"Our only hope is to strike them before they strike us" Peter told everyone

"Crazy no one has ever taken that castle" Caspian protested

"Well there is always a first time" Peter retorted

"And we have the element of surprise" Trumpkin said i was about to say something when Caspian beat me to it.

"But we have the advantage here"

"If we dig in we could proberly hold them off indefinitely" Susan joined

"I for one feel safer underground" Truffle Hunter added

"Look i appreciate what you've done here but this isn't a fortress it's a tomb"

"Yes and if the Telmarines are smart they will just wait and starve us out" Edmund commented

"We could collect nuts" a squirrel offered

"Yes and throw them at the Telmarines. Shut up" i giggled at that comment from Reep.

"i think you know where i stand sire" he finished Peter looked to one of the centaurs

"if i get your troops in can you handle the guard" i stood up this had gone on long enough.

"or die trying my liege" he bowed his head.

"have you all gone completely mad" i made myself know

"uh oh" i heard Chris mumble

"what do you mean?" he asked me

"you make it sound like we only have two options dying here or dying there" Lucy joined me.

"exactly this maybe a tomb Peter but it's the best we have. you seeing in troops without any knowledge is suicide and will go completely wrong" i stepped down.

"i don't think you've been listening..."

"no you not listening or have you forgotten who really killed the White Witch Peter" i scolded

"i think we have waited for Aslan long enough" he replied.

"I'm not talking about my father. nothing happens the same way twice which is why if we want to win we have to be smart not going in blind a getting people killed because i can assure you that's what will happen."

"Emma"

"no, if you all go through with this plan count me out because i will not have you blood on my hands. I'm here to help but this is not helping." i turn to everyone.

"if you want to lead them to the slaughter go ahead but your doing so without me." i looked at Peter before leaving i head outside and climb up the mound and looking out across Beruna. it had changed so much since we were last here. nothing was like it used to be but love i have for it that what's undying.
