Our army stood ready at the battle field. Peter was in silver and armor and a red tunic with a lion crest on the front. He had his sword strapped to his side. He was mounted on his white unicorn.

Oreius stood on his left in the same kind of armor but had some that covered the horse half of him.

I was mounted on Black Iron I had made him some golden armor a couple of years ago that he now wore. I was in black armor with golden accents here and there. I had my sword strapped at my side along with twin daggers and my bow.

A Griffen landed beside us.

"They come your highness in numbers and weapons far greater than our own." He reported.

"Numbers do not win a battle," Oreius stated.

"No but I bet they help," Peter said.

We saw the Witch's army approach. Her general led what looked to be the entire army but I knew not to belive that. She was being pulled in a chariot pulled by polar bears.

Their army started to advance. Peter gave the signal for the griffins to advance. They flew high above us carrying large boulders amd dropping them. It slowled them down a bit.

"Are you with me?" Perer asked me.

"To the death," was my relply. He gave me a greatful nod.

"For Narnia and for Aslan!" He bellowed. And charged.

The cavalry had long spears that they readied. It was slow motion as our forces clashed. I drew my sword.

I sliced at anything that I didn't recognize.

The battle raged around me. The roar of the minotaurs, and then screeches of the ogres. I heard the roars of our tigers and bears. I also heard the screams of the wounded and the thuds of sword against shield.

I saw the Witch advance her second wave of forces. I saw the arrow fly that transformed in to a phoenix. It burst into flames and set the grass on fire infront of the Witch's forces. But she demolished the flames with her ice septer.

"Fall back! Draw them to the rocks!" I heard Peter yell. I jumped off Irons back and told him to find cover until after the battle. He whinned and ran off.

The archery regime prepared to fire upon the approaching forces. The arrows flew over our heads and hit the opposing forces head on.

A dwarf shot down Peter's unicorn and he flew off and landed on his back. I looked over at Oreius and he stood beside a rhino and they charged at the Witch. The rhino was struck down and Oreius was turned to stone.

I was fighting a minotaur when I saw the Witch making her way for Peter.

"Edmund there's to many get out of here! Find the girls and get them home," He yelled to Ed.

I saw Edmund unshealth his sword and run for the witch. He jumped off the rock and slammed his sword into her septer. There was a huge flash of blue light. I knew what she was going to do and I couldn't stand here and watch.

She disarmed easily and went to stab him with the broken end when I jumped infront of him. I felt it enter my stomach, it was cold but came with hot and burning pain. She looked into my eyes with a smirk on her face and pulled it out.

I started fall but Edmund caught me. He gently layed me down on the grass of the battle field. The Witch made a beeline for Peter.

I was gasping for breath. Searing hot pain was all over. Every breath brought more pain. Edmund pulled my head on to his lap and was trying to calm me. I focused on his words and soon every sound was drowned out by the roar of a lion. I moved my head but extreme pain ran through my body and I screamed.

Everything seemed to blur in and out of focus. I heard the sounds of battle fade to nothing. I saw Susan, Lucy, and Peter run to my side. Lucy pulled out her cordial and dropped some into my mouth. The pain slowly ceased and I closed my eyes.

I heard them start to cry. I took a deep breath and opened them again. The looked extremely relived. I sat up and Edmund immediately leaned in to hug me, and I wrapped my arms around him.

Lucy and Susan did the same. Peter was last he held me tight.

"Theres nothing that can say how thankful I am for you," He whispered in my ear.

"Hey its my job," I shrugged. He laughed.

They helped me up, Lucy ran around healing the injured and Aslan helping everyone who was turned to stone.

"You have done well Willow I am so proud of you," he said walking up behind me.

I turned and hugged him tears welling in my eyes, " I thought you were gone," I cried into his mane.

"I will always be with you child, you just have to know where to look, whether it's in you memories, your dreams, and your heart I can alway be found," he said putting a paw on my shoulder.

"Now I think it's time to get the Kings and Queens home," he said.

I nodded smiling.
