Chapter 10 - Magic Within Our Hearts.

Hazel's P.O.V.

"Peter!" Caspian shouted and pointed behind him.

Peter turned around and saw two soldiers running towards him. Peter took them down quickly, and then Peter and Edmund ran towards the front of the battle area. Sticking to the plan we made earlier, Caspian got on his horse and I got on the head centaur's back and we waited in front of the How. Once the soldiers had reached their army, we saw them raise their swords high and they all yelled loudly together. They got their catapults ready and began firing at the How. Some hit the ground, some hit the How, but we still wouldn't move until Peter gave us our orders. The general of the Telmarines pointed his sword at us and the calvary began to charge at us on their horses. Peter waited a few moments before turning around to Caspian and I. That was our signal.

Caspian, the head centaur, and I all rode down into the How as fast as we could. When we got inside, more Narnians were waiting inside for us. We could hear the catapults that landed on the ground above us and it shook the entire How. With this plan, Caspian would take the right tunnel while the head centaur and I took the left tunnel. We stopped in front of all the Narnians.

"Narnians," Caspian spoke loudly and we all quickly lined up in our spots, "Now!"

We all yelled loudly as we took off inside the tunnels. I clung onto the centaur tightly with one hand and I held my sword tightly in the other. When we heard the Telmarines coming towards us from above, that's when Caspian would blow the horn as a signal. When I heard the familiar horn, I began to count out loud, "One, two, three...."

As I counted, I could hear the Telmarines getting closer to being above us. I swung my sword around in a circle as I got ready to bring down some Telmarines. Literally.

"Eight, nine.... NOW!" I yelled to the Narnians.

I took my sword, and I swung into one of the columns that passed me. It broke in half and the Narnians behind me followed in suit. The ground began to crumble above us as we broke more pillars. Light began to shine from the cracks being formed above us. After awhile, I heard the ground from behind us falling and Telmarines as they fell into the ground. We all stopped destroying the pillars and rode away from the falling ground as fast as we could. We didn't hear many Telmarines running above us anymore, and I'm guessing that's from the shock of the ground collapsing from underneath them. We kept riding through the tunnel and as planned, there were two dwarves waiting for us, who cut two pillars and a piece of the ground came down that we could ride up. Caspian and I yelled loudly and held up our swords as we came up and rode towards the back of the calvary. They seemed shocked when they saw more of us coming up from behind them, but they quickly came at us. It was time to get to work.

Two Telmarines came towards the centaur and I, and we took them out with one swing of our swords. I took one of the Telmarine's spears before he fell off his horse. I threw it at another Telmarine before quickly jumping off of the centaur's back. Another Telmarine came at me, but I quickly took him down. My eyes scanned the battle scene for Peter, and I was relieved when I saw him looking for me too. Our eyes met for a moment and we just gave each other small smiles before coming back to reality. I kept taking out more and more Telmarines. They didn't stop coming at us. I heard a Telmarine fall behind me and I turned around to see an arrow in his back. I looked up and saw Edmund riding by on a horse with a crossbow in his hands. I nodded my head at him in thanks and he returned it. I quickly ran through the battle and over towards Peter, who was fighting off a Telmarine. Reepicheep ran past me really quick in his cute, little armor so I made sure not to accidentally step on him. A Telmarine was coming up behind Peter and panicking, I picked up another Telmarine spear and through it at him. It went right through his chest and he fell to the ground. Peter turned around quickly and when he saw me, he ran over as fast as he could.
