Bottom of The Willow Tree

Chapter 5 - Raid/ Kings and Queens of Old

"raid?" he questioned i rolled my eyes

"yes a raid on you uncles weapons i hear that they have many we could raid a few but first we need to find a place to stay. can anyone help." i asked looking round.

"Willow i believe i know just the place follow me"  Reepicheep offered, Glenstorm held out his hand and i took it.  swinging myself onto his back the others followed as we were led by Reepicheep and the other Mice. we travelled for a hour until we reached the edge of a clearing.

"it's called Aslan's how" Reep informed us it was a big mound Narnian made a  while back we approached closer and down into the how.

"this i the place where we should make the weapons we do not steal." The Prince  looked around i got off Glenstorm back.

"its almost light we need to get to Beruna if we have a chance of getting those weapons. Prince..." i was cut off

"Caspian, i these parts i am just Caspian" i raise one eyebrow.

"fine. Caspian  what  do you suggest."  i ask emphasising his name he looked towards us.

"we set of soon and we should reach early morning  we will only need a few but enough to carry what wee steal." everyone agrees. i take off my cloak as everyone began to spread out labelling rooms for certain things i explored a little i looked at pictures they explained the story of the Kings and Queens of Old

"Why are you helping" i jumped a little but turned to Caspian, i glare at him

"what do you want Caspian" i asked he came closer.

"i want to know why you want to help first you threaten to kill me then you offer your help i wish to know why" he replied i huff and continued walking

"unlike you I've know for years my destiny, my father explained the prophecy to me and what it would incline ever since then I've been training" i explained

"what prophecy?" he asked following me.

"the a son of Adam and a daughter of Eve with the help of the Kings and Queens of Old  will unite the land of Narnia and sit upon the throne . looking deeper it says The Daughter will not be of this world but will be found and raised by those who do. the son will be descended from pirates and Orphaned the night after his 5th birthday the two shall met and the lives will forever be enter wind.

simple version is that me and you along with the old kings and Queens will defeat the Telmarines and from when we first met our lines are now connected with one another, great right" i said the last part as a sarcastic comment. we found one big room and looked around the was one big table and it was cracked.

"i think i know why its called Aslan's how" Caspian stood beside me as we looked at the stone table

"we better be going" Caspian said after one minute i nodded and we left.

"i will be back soon Papa" i kiss his cheek and leave with the others riding on glenstorm back we reached Beruna early morning, i shot arrows into guards backs and we snuck in, retrieving my arrows i put them back and i helped unload . one we finished Reep left a little message for them as we left slowly walking back. i was tired and needed some sleep, i knew i had a few more hours in me before i could collapse.

"Willow get on my back and get some sleep. you need it." Glenstorm pulled me onto his back i wrapped my arms around his waist and fell asleep. i was awaken by someone tugging my arm. i groaned waking up and rubbing my eyes

"what happening" i asked opening my eyes.

"we have found the Kings a Queen of old Willow" my friend replied. i gasped as he pointed to infornt.

"is that.." i trailed of smiling before jumping off

"Trumpkin" i cheered running up to the dwarf who i called a uncle.

"nice to see you awake Willow" he broke a smile.

"you're the famous Willow" i turned to look at a young girl.

"Willow yes famous no" i smiled

"I'm Lucy" she held out a hand and i took it.

"as in Queen Lucy" she nodded i bowed my head

"pleasure to meet you your majesty" i fell into step with her.

"you to Trumpkin has told us about you" she informed me i smirked at the dwarf in front

"has he now nothing bad i hope" i asked as we continued walking to the how.

"oh of course not,  if you don't mind me asking why are you names Willow it's just you seem human" she asked curiously

"it's alright. i was found underneath a Willow tree by, Papa, Trumpkin and Nikabrik when  i was a just a little infant they took me in a named me after where i was found " i explained she was about to ask something else when we came to the edge of the forest overlooking the How.

"it has been abandoned for hundreds of years only the mice new of its existence" Glenstorm informed the new arrivals

"it may not be what you are use to but its defendable" Caspian added we made our way up to the entrance when the stopped as centaurs raised theirs swards the Kings and Queens entered first with Caspian behind them. i couldn't help feeling like i was missing something.
