"Cakes and kettledrums! That's your next big plan?" Trumpkin questions, "Sending a little girl into the darkest parts of the forest alone?"

While everyone looked at Trumpkin as he looked around the room with concern. As for Killian he stood against the stone table with a blank stare. While his mind was at war on if he should stay and fight with his brother, or go and protect Lucy. Until he heard a voice tearing him out of his thoughts.

"It's our only chance." Peter replies.

"And she won't be alone," Susan spoke up from where she stood.

"I agree with Susan," Killian replies, "I'll be going with them. I'll be able to help them get to wherever they need to go. I know these woods like the back of my hand."

"Haven't enough of us died already? Why must you always throw yourself into danger Killian? I thought you were needed here?"questions Trumpkin.

"No one said I can be in two places at once. Remember I have my ways." Killian replies with a smirk.

"Nikabrik," Trufflehunter says slowly while getting everyone's attention, "was my friend too, but he lost hope. Queen Lucy hasn't. And neither have I." 

"For Aslan," Reepicheep announced. 

Bulgy bear yells out, "for Aslan!" 

As Peter looks at the bulgy bear, and Killian smirked at them when he noticed Trumpkin speaking to Lucy. 

"I'm going with you."

"No," she spoke softly, "we need you here."

"We need to hold them off off until Lucy, Susan, and Killian get back," Peter spoke.

"If I may....," Caspian while stepping forward, "Miraz may be a tyrant and a murder. But as king, he is subject to his people. There is one in particular that may buy us some time."

*The Challenge*

 Edmund, Glenstorm, Wimbleweather, and K!2 (he is the other half of Killian. Which I am not saying which side of him) walk across the battlefield carrying green branches in there hands. Miraz watches through the telescope with a sneer on his face.

"Perhaps they want to surrender," Glozelle says.

As Miraz talks calmly while looking in the direction of his nephew, "No, they are much to noble for that."

Wimbleweather and Glenstorm wait outside the tent as Edmund reads the challenge, and K!2 stood close to the youngest king.

"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 islands, in order to prevent the abominable effusion of blood, do hereby the usupur Miraz to single combat upon the field of battle. The fight shall be to the death. The reward shall be total surrender."

As Edmund rolls rolls up the scroll and hands it toward K!2 who puts it in his satchel. Never breaking eye contact with his Uncle.

"Tell me prince Edmund-"

"King."

Miraz began yet was cut off by his Nephew.

"Pardon?" Mraz questions.

"It's King Edmund actually. Just king though. Peter is the high king. I know, its confusing," Edmund answers.

 "Why would we risk such a proposal. When our army could wipe you out by nightfall?" Miraz questions.

"Haven't you already underestimated our numbers?" Lilian fires back, "only a week ago, narnians were extinct."

"And so you will be again," Miraz sneered.

"Then you should have little to fear," Killian growls with both eyes turning bright yellow.

"Ha. This is not a question of bravery," Miraz laughs. 

"So your bravely refusing to fight a swordsman half youyour age?" Killian questions.

"I didn't say I refused," Miraz interjects.

"You shall have our support your majesty, whatever your decision," a telmarine lord spoke.

 Sopespian looks towards Miraz, "Sire, our military advantage alone allows us the perfect excuse to avoid-" 

Miraz stands up and draws his sword. While K!2 stands in defence if anything happens to Edmund.

"I am not avoiding anything!" Miraz yells.

"I am merely pointing out that my lord is well within this rights to refuse," Sopespian says.

K!2 looked at all the men sitting in front of hI'm and Edmund with a smug look. Knowing his uncles battle in his head. He knew sooner or later he'll cave in. 

"His majesty would would never refuse," Glozelle spoke up, " he relishes the chance to show the bravery of their new king."

Miraz points his sword at his nephew and Edmund, who was wearing a smug smile, and spoke.

"You had better hope your brother's sword proves sharper."

As K!2 and Edmund glanced at each other with knowing smiles. As Edmund gives him a small nod signaling him to leave him behind. 

*Back at the How*

As K!1 stood in front of the three siblings who stood in front of warriors 3. They waited with baited breath for what he has to say. 

"Seraphina, Atarah I need you both to stay behind and help the others by the How. As for Theon," while he said his name he stood straighter then he was before, "you are coming with me and the queens to our destination. We need you there to help me protect the queens. If something happens on the way to our destination, fight."

"You want our brother to fight on his own. Are you mad?" Atarah questions him quite angrily. 

"He won't fight alone. He will have help. I've seen it, and believe me he will make it out alive," Killian replies giving the siblings hope for the future. 

As Killian looked towards the entrance he noticed his brother standing there. As they made eye contact, Caspian gave a nod, a signal for them that is time. That the plan is in motion. 

*The Depart*

Inside Aslan's how, Susan and Lucy are seen getting on Destier, and as for Killian was perched on Smee. As Killian looked to his right he noticed a black fur wolf with golden eyes.  He gave a nod  towards the wolf who also gave him one as well. Until he noticed Caspian here.

"Destier has always secured me well. You are in good hands," Caspian says. 

"Or hooves," both Lucy and Killian say at the same time.

They both look at each other laughing, while Caspian smiles at them both. Then Caspian looks back up at Susan. 

"Good luck," he tells her.

"ThanksThanks," she replies back looking away with a red hue on her cheeks.

Killian snickers at the interaction knowing the awkwardness between them. When he noticed his brother pulled out her horn.

"Maybe it is time you had this back," Caspian says thoughtfully.

"Why don't you hold onto it? You might need to call me again," Susan replies with a small smile. 

As they ride away, with Killian laughing at his brothers face. As he looked back he noticed Caspian still watching.

"You might need to call me again," Lucy questions her sister.

"Oh, shut up," Susan retorts.
