The Chosen One

Ch. 27 War

 It all happened so quickly. Just after the Lord got on his horse and sped away to his army, one of the Telmarine soldiers went after Peter, who decapitated him. "Go!" Peter yells to my brother. However I just stay put. Holding my uncles head in my trembling hands. Leaning down I whisper in his ear "I forgive you."

Standing up I run over to where Peter and Ed are. Standing in between the two Kings I whip a tear from my eye and focus on the fight. The Telmarines begin to cheer before they start hurtling giant boulders from their catapults at us. The earth shakes. Some of the boulders hit the Narnians behind the three of us.

"Attack!" General Glozelle yells. The Telmarine army begins to charge. Advancing towards us with each stride. The catapults do not stop. I look back and see Susan get ready, along with the other archers, bow in hand. I look to my brother, he smiles at me before he and Glenstorm head into the Howe. Hopefully our plan works. One of the Narnians blows his horn, giving Peter the signal to start counting to ten.

"One... two... three... four... five... six..." I look to see Susan and Trumpkin take aim, "eight... nine... Get ready!" Right now Caspian and the rest of the Narnians should be demolishing the columns beneath us. The Telmarine soldiers will be surrounded. I smile when the earth begins to crumble beneath the Telmarines. Left and right the Telmarines begin to fall. Just as they were crawling out of the hole, the archers arrows pierce their skin sending them back to the earth.

Edmund grabs hold of my hand then jumps onto his horse. I immediately get on and secure my hands around his waist. "Charge!" Peter yells making the rest of the Narnians advance forward, their blades at the ready. In the distance I see my brother emerge from the ground, taking on the soldiers from the back.

"Steady boy." Ed says to his horse as he grabs his crossbow and begins to shoot at the Telmarines. One of the Telmarines is right on our heal. I grab one of my daggers and throw it at the soldier. It plunges into his chest making him drop dead and fall of his horse.

In the air, the griffins fly above holding some dwarfs between their talons. The dwarfs shoot their arrows at the oncoming Telmarines. Suddenly a few drop from the sky. Miraz must have made a special weapon for them, considering that's how Edmund and I got away the last time.

"Back to the howe!" Peter yells, so we start to head back. I look over my shoulder and see boulders soaring towards the entrance to the howe.

"They're not gonna make it! Stop! Stop!" I scream, however its too late as some Narnians have collapsed under the rumble. Susan falls off the ledge, thankfully Trumpkin caught her and threw her to a different ledge. Edmund gets off the horse, helps me down then we both race towards Peter and Caspian. The Telmarines surround us all. I am frightened however I look to my brother and see confidence in his eyes. We will win this battle.

Edmund drops the cross bow and raises his sword from its haulster. Susan takes out one of her arrows and places it in her bow. I take out my sword as we begin to charge forward. We all split up, although i still have my eye on everyone. I swing my sword and plunge it into the soldiers making their bodies fall to the Earth. As Peter is fighting one Telmarine another was going to attack from behind. I quickly grabbed my dagger and threw it at the soldier, it jabbed his neck making him cough up blood. Peter looks to me shocked, but smiles and goes back to fighting.

Ed takes on two soldiers, kicks one away and takes on the other. There are too many of them. We're not gonna make it. I see Caspian being taken on by three soldiers, he falls into the pit. This is getting too out of hand as I notice some Narnians jump over the Telmarines and attempt to fight every single one.

Suddenly the ground begins to rumble. I smile at the sight of Aslan's work. Trees start to surround us, fighting, defending the Narnians honor. "Lucy." Peter explains while smiling. I laugh amazed by the magic in this world. I see Edmund smiling at me from afar. Maybe we will win this battle. One of the trees fall over because of the boulders hit it. The other trees got mad and plunged their roots into the ground, sending them hurtling towards the catapults destroying them. Finally this battle will now be fought evenly.
