Some of the Narnies stood inside the same room as Peter and the others were. Edmund was standing over with Clara, helping her clean her wounds.

Peter looked at Clara "Clara, you said that they were walking over the bridge. How long do you think there will go before they are here?" he asked "According to how many they are and how fast they go, they will be here around..." Clara said, but got interrupted by a horn causing the others to look up "Now" Clara finished.

Peter, Edmund, Caspian, Susan and Clara ran out and they saw a huge army standing right outside the forest. 

Clara and the others walked back inside, to talk about a plan.

Time skip...

"So that's your next big plan. Sending a little girl into the darkest parts of this forest? Alone!" Trumpkin said "It's our only chance" Peter said, "And she won't be alone" Susan said and Trumpkin walked over to Lucy "Haven't enough of us died already?" he asked, "Nikabrik was my friend too, he try to bring the White Witch back to life because he lost hope. Queen Lucy hasn't. And neither have I" Trufflehunter said, "For Aslan" Reep said, "For Aslan" Riley said.

"Then I'm going with you" Trumpkin said looking at Lucy, "No we need you here" Lucy said putting her left hand on his right shoulder. 

"We have to hold them off until Lucy and Susan get back" Clara said and Peter nodded. "If I may..." Caspian said, Peter turned around and looked at him, Caspian looked at Cornelius who nodded.

"Miraz may be a 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" Caspian said.

They all knew what Caspian was talking about "I like that, then I want to be the one that fight against Miraz" Clara said, Peter looked at her, he then looked at Edmund, he could see that Edmund didn't like that Clara wants to be the one to fight.

Peter looked back at Clara "Clara, I understand your anger but is best if I am the one that fight against Miraz" he said. Clara looked down before she looked up to looked at Peter "You are right, you are the high king, so it is best if is you" she said. 

"And by the way, you are a most better fighter than I" Clara said. 

Peter looked at Edmund, "Ed, I want you to bring the message to Miraz" Peter said, Edmund nodded, Peter give him the message.

Edmund turned around and was about to walked out of the room "I will go with him" Clara said and wanted to followed Edmund, but Caspian grabbed her left hand, Clara turned around and looked at him "I don't want you to go over there" he said. "You are not in charge of me, I can do what I want" Clara said, "Still haven't forgive me for that battle at the castle?" Caspian asked and Clara looked at him "Try to figure it out by yourself" she said angry and got her arm free from Caspian's grip before she looked at Toothless "Stay here Bud, I will be back soon" she said, Toothless looked at her and nodded. Clara turned around and walked past Edmund "Come on, let's go" she said, Edmund smiled and followed her.

Time skip...

"Why is Toothless not with us?" Edmund asked as him and Clara was on their way to Miraz's camp. 

Clara looked at him, "If we are coming in peace, then it is probably not a good idea that we are coming with a dragon and his wounds still haven't heal, but I hope he is healthy enough if the battle now come" she said "How do you know, that there will be a battle?" Edmund asked "I know that Peter is a much better fighter than Miraz and when he win, I think that Miraz will not keep his promise, he hates giving up and losing, I know that" Clara said.

Time skip...

"Why are you here?" a soldier asked, as both Clara and Edmund were standing in front of Miraz's tent. "We came to see Miraz" Clara said. "And who are you?" the soldier asked "This is the future queen of Narnia, Clara" Edmund said and pointed at Clara causing her to looked at him, "And I am king Edmund of old" Edmund said and pointed on himself. 

"Wait here" the soldier said as he walked into the tent and Clara looked at Edmund "Why did you say who I was?" she asked "Because you are the future queen of Narnia, and people have the right to know that, and maybe some of the soldiers will go against Miraz, when they hear that you are alive" Edmund said. "I don't think they will, in their eyes, Caspian and I are traitors. I was the first person who wouldn't kill a dragon..." Clara said and was about to said something more but got interrupted by Edmund "But also the first who have fly on one" he said and took her hand, Clara looked at him and smiled causing Edmund back to smile. He then leaned his head closer to her, but they were interrupted by the solider who came back "Come inside" he said.

"Well, look who's it is. The traitor and ex-queen Clara" Miraz said "Cut that shit Miraz, she is still the future queen of Narnia" Edmund said and Miraz looked at Clara "By the way, how is your dragon?" he asked "His is getting better, but no thanks to you" Clara said "I still can't believe that the dragon is not dead, I thought I got him back there, I would have wearing his skin as my armor, maybe I can still do it, when the battle is over" Miraz said with a smile, Clara got angry and would have step closer to Miraz, but Edmund took his hand in front of her, and she stop "Shut up we don't have time for your not-funny jokes" Edmund said "We have message from high king Peter" Clara said and Edmund started to read Peter's message to Miraz

"I, Peter, by the gift of Aslan, by election and by conquest, High King of Narnia, Lord of Cair Paravel and emperor of the Lone Island, in order to prevent the abominable effusion of blood, do here by challenge the usurper Miraz to single combat upon the field of battle. The fight shall be to death. The reward shall be total surrender" Edmund finished and looked at Clara and then at Miraz as he stated to talk.

"Tell me prince Edmund..."

"King" Clara said cutting him off. "Pardon me?" Miraz asked. "Is King Edmund, actually" Edmund said and Miraz looked at him "Just 'king' though. Peter is the high king" Edmund said and Miraz looked at him with a confused look "I know, it's confusing" Edmund said and Clara smiled. "Why would we risk such a proposal when our armies could wipe you out by nightfall?" Miraz asked. "Haven't you already underestimated our numbers?" Edmund asked "I mean, only a week ago Narnians were extinct"

"And so you will be again" Miraz said, "And the same will the dragons" Miraz said and looked at Clara waiting for a reaction, but she just looked at him "Then you should have nothing to fear" she said "This is not a question of bravery" Miraz said, "So you're bravely refusing to fight a swordsman half your age?" Edmund asked and Clara smiled, "I didn't say I refused" Miraz said "You shall have our support, Your Majesty. Whatever you decision" one of lords said "Sire, our military advantage alone provides the perfect excuse to avoid what might other wise be...." said one of the other lords but was cut off by Miraz "I'm not avoiding anything" Miraz said angrily and got up. 

Edmund and Clara looked at each other, then back at Miraz "I was merely pointed out that my lord is well within his right to refuse" said another lord "His Majesty would never refuse. He relishes the chance to show the people the courage of their new king" Glozelle said, who was standing behind Edmund and Clara "You" Miraz said and pointed on Edmund causing Edmund to look at him "You should hope your brother's sword is sharper than his pen" Miraz said and Edmund smiled.
