{Silver's POV}

I was watching with Peter and Edmund, swords unsheathed next to me, as I was in wild wolf form.

My pack was prowling around us all, watching with careful eyes.

"You are not to worry about me. You are to be the Protectors of High King Peter and his brother King Edmund."

"If I have been captured, or otherwise indisposed. You are to watch over, the four children. For I am nothing, if they are dead."

I had told everyone one of them, before I went to the Telmarine camp with Edmund the day previous.

"Archers to the Ready!" Susan shouted, as all of them nocked their bows, and I looked at Edmund.

The cavalry approached, and I looked at Peter, who looked at Caspian, and I saw the soon to be king, going back to the How.

"Narnians! Charge!" Caspian shouted, as all of the Narnians raced after him, and I felt the ground rumbling.

I heard one of the horns of the centaurs down from under us, and Peter nodded. "One. Two..."

He said.

"Three, Four..." Caspian was saying.

"Five, Six..." Peter said.

"Take your aim!" Susan shouted from her post atop of Aslan's How, and her archers did the same, as her.

"Stay your aim and arms!" I heard Trumpkin's shout in response to only Susan's command.

"Eight, Nine... Get Ready!"

Peter shouted, and I heard the other Narnians, who were now eagerly now breaking columns under the ground.

Then, a huge host of the Telmarine cavalry fell directly into the trap, and I grinned a wolfish grin, and Susan ordered the archers to fire.

Almost all of the arrows hit targets, and I smiled as Peter gave the order to charge, and the army followed him, along with Edmund on a horse.

Caspian also brought the rest of the army and we all fought like demons as we did fight.

I was ripping through Telmarine, after Telmarine, until a sword slashed me across the ribs of my wolf form.

"Silver!" I heard Edmund shout, and I stood up in human yanking out of her sheath my knife, and I slashed at him.

"Edmund!" I shouted, and he galloped his horse to m, and reached out to me, and I grabbed his arm, and mounted.

"It's a good thing you're still a fighter in whatever form you're in." Edmund said, and I looked at him. "Use this." I said, giving him a crossbow.

He was firing at the Telmarines, while I kicked and slashed at the soldiers on the horse.

"You're a mouse." The Telmarine soldier said, who was facing off with Reepicheep, and the mouse in the small armor snorted.

"You people have no imagination whatsoever!" Reepicheep said, and promptly slew the man.

I saw that all of the spearmen were now advancing, and the Griffins were released but they had made scorpions to counter them as well.

"Back to the How!" Peter shouted, and I looked at Edmund who nodded as he turned our horse around. "Back to the How!" The centaurs were shouting.

"Brace Yourselves!" Susan was shouting now, as the boulders from the catapults began to hit hard.

Suddenly, the entire entrance was caved in, and I leaped off of the horse along with Edmund and we all charged with Peter.

Susan was down with his as well, and we all went to the battlefield. I ran in, and felt my eyes flashing.

I was next to Edmund and Peter, then I was next to neither of them. I was at once fighting everywhere at once, and then I wasn't fighting anyone.

I saw that the trees had come alive again, and I looked at Peter, and I was nodding. "Lucy."

He said, and I felt like it was complete again, the Narnian as we continued to fight, charging at the Telmarines.

"For Aslan!" I shouted, charging into battle, and slashing hard at anyone I could reach.

We all cheered then, when the trees destroyed the catapults, and the other weapons, scorpions included.

I saw that they were retreating to the river, and we all charged after them, I in particular was determined to make sure that they had nowhere to run.

I saw that Aslan and Lucy were both standing there, watching and waiting for the Telmarines.

They charged, and I saw them crossing the bridge, and the water as well, until Aslan opened his great mouth, and roared.

I led a group of our army to force them onto the bridge, while the rest were focused on now keeping them, in the water.

I saw that the once great River God, had been Reborn once again by Aslan and his roar.

The Telmarines were all drowned, sunken, swatted, or still surviving as surrendered prisoners, on the ground, and were now with us.

I walked out of the water with Edmund, Susan, Peter, and Caspian next to me, and I was the first.

I knelt, and bowed my head to him, and Loyalty was pressed against the ground in front of him.

"Rise Protector, young wolf, rise Silver Stormwalker, the White Wolf. Pick up, your sword, once more young wolf."

He said and I picked up my sword at his words, and sheathed it quickly, as I stood next to Lucy again.

"Rise, kings and queens of Narnia." I heard Aslan say, and Peter, Edmund, and Susan stood up quickly, Caspian stayed on the ground.

"All of you." He said, and Caspian looked up at him. "I do not think I am ready."

He said, and Aslan looked at him.

"It is for that very reason that I know you are. King Caspian." Aslan said and Caspian stood up with the others.

"I must crave your indulgence for appearing in this unseemly fashion. I have lost my tail." Reepicheep said, after Lucy had healed him.

"It becomes you well, small one."

I heard Aslan say.

"All the same, great king, I regret that I must withdraw for a tail is the honor and glory of a mouse."

Reepicheep said.

"Perhaps you think too much of your honor, friend." Aslan said, Reepicheep began to splutter and stammer after that.

"May it please Your High Majesty, we will not bear the shame of wearing an honor denied to our chief."

Another one of the mice said, and they all were fully prepared to cut off their own tails.

"Not for the sake of your dignity, but for the love of your people." Aslan say and I smiled, and I looked over at the dwarf.

"Do you see him now?" Lucy asked, and I couldn't help but laugh after the look on Trumpkin's face after Aslan roared at him.
