1,300 Years Later

Chapter 10 - After Fight and Rambling

"Emma! Emma please wait" i stopped walking as Peter caught up.

"what Peter haven't you said or done enough for one day." i sighed

"I'm sorry okay, for everything. you were right and i should have listened to you." he looked down

"yes you should. Peter things have changed, Narnia has changed this is no longer the Golden Age anymore we do get word of a oncoming war think of something the carry it out. back then we knew what we were dealing with because we learned then attacked. it's been over a thousand years the Telmarines have grown stronger the invaded Narnia didn't they and they conquered it what does that say." i rambled everything was just coming out.

"an then the white witch god can't she just stay dead" i panted Peter just wrapped his arms around me.

"everything is going to be alright Emma. come on lets go inside." we walked back inside to the stone table he sat me on his lap as we lapsed into silence. not long after Lucy jointed us i gave her a weak smile.

"you're both luck you know" Peter broke the silence.

"what do you mean?" Lu asked

"to have seen him. i wish he'd just given me some sort of proof" i tilted my head back

"maybe we're the one that need to prove ourselves to him." Lucy offered, i nodded before pecking his lips.

"Pete, Emma" Ed entered

"you need to come see this" we followed him out thousands upon thousands of Telmarine soldiers marched onto the field with Catapults and horses several soldiers on horseback came forward one in a armour of what looked like gold i knew that was Miraz.

we headed back inside.

"i have an idea" i said we were now talking of planning.

"what is it?" Peter asked taking my waist.

"Lucy how do you feel about going into the woods" i looked at my little sister

"i don't follow."

"We need my father and apart from myself you're the only one who has seen him. i know that you will be able to find him." Lucy brightened

"that's a good idea."

"cakes and kettle drums that's your next big plan." Trumpkin asked

"sending a little girl into the darkest parts of the forest? alone!" he continued

"it's our only chance" Peter replied

"and she won't be alone" Susan stepped forward

"yes Susan and Christopher will be going with her." i added.

"what no way. Mama i want to fight." Chris protested.

"no way in Aslan's land are you fighting." i retorted. his face was becoming a little red

"I'm a King now not a child" he shouted.

"and I'm High Queen as well as you mother now don't use that tone with me" i yelled, his eyes drifted towards Peter.

"don't you think of looking to your father for help either. now I'll give you a choice you either go with your Aunts or you stay her and wait but you will not fight." he huffed before walking out. Trumpkin walked to Lucy.

"haven't enough of us died already?" he asked her.

"Nikabrik was my friend too but he lost hope. Queen Lucy hasn't and neither have i" Truffle hunter said Reep came forward holding his hand

"for Aslan" he replied

"for Aslan" a bear stood up.

"fine but I'm going with you" Trumpkin told her.

"no they need you here" she put her hand on his shoulder

"we have to hold them off till Lucy, Susan and Christopher get back" Peter stated

"if i may" we all turned to look at Caspian he looked at his professor before standing up.

"Miraz maybe and tyrant and a murderer. but as King he is subject to the traditions and expectations of his people. there is one in particular that may buy us some time." he told us

"which would be?" i asked

"a challenge to him. one on one combat." i raise my eyebrow.

"so Peter challenges him and he accepts...will that work?" i wonder out loud.

"we'll hope it has to." Peter replied.

"Peter what if he hurts you or worse kills you" i protest.

"i have been in much worse that this Emma just trust me" i sighed knowing i wasn't going to win this time.
