"Caspian!" I quietly whisper watching a young boy try to sneak up on one of the Narnian soldiers. He kept ignoring me so I took matter into my own hands s "UGHH!" I shouted swinging my sword meeting blades with the blonde boy. Another swing and another clash of two swords. He was a good fighter, but I was better. He suddenly jabbed his sword in attempt to hit me but I was quicker than that. But he did something I didn't expect him to, he punched the side of my arm and it soon began to hurt, badly. At this point I was fed up and I faked a swing right created an opening to take the handle end of my sword straight to the young boys face.

"Ow!" He shouted in pain. I swung my sword again and again but he blocked them all. Suddenly he grasps my sword with his and throws it away far from my reach. He swung straight for the head when I ducked. But he hit the tree with his sword instead. Always use your enemies mistakes as an advantage, my father always told me this. I then kicked him making him release the sword and collapse on his back. I grabbed his sword not paying attention to him or the sword.

But then a young girls voice called out "No! Stop!" I was confused on why she stopped this boy from almost smashing me over the head with a rock.

"Y/n! Y/n. Are you okay?" Caspian came running in.
"Did you hurt her?" He said trying to pick a fight with the kid.

"Caspian it was an equal fight. I'm fine." I say with a confident grin. He ignored it and gave the boy a very dirty look. By the time anyone could say another word Narnians came from all ends of the forest.

"Princess Y/n?" He asked very confused . "And Prince Caspian?" He asked again.

"Yes. And who are you." Caspian asks also confused. I was shocked how he knew our names. No one outside of the Telmarine palace knew us.

"Peter!" Another voice springs before the boy could fit a sentence in. Peter? Peter! I looked down at his sword in my hand and payed close attention to the markings and details. I was in shock. I could see Caspian looking over my shoulder.

"High King Peter." He says.

"I believe you called." Peter says.

"Well, yes, we did, but we thought you'd be older." I say in slight attitude.

"If you'd like we could come back in a few years." Peter says trying to make a joke.

"No! That's alright your just not exactly what we expected." He responds catching the eye of High Queen Susan.

"Neither are you." Another boy says. I could only think this was the Just King. The one who betrayed Narnia and was on the White Witches side. I never liked this boy, his attitude, how he thinks he is better than his siblings. I look at the King they can Edmund to see him staring directly at me. I looked away with an attitude disgusted by the eye contact.

"A common enemy unties even the oldest of foes." Trufflehunter says trying to calm then tension.

"We have anxiously awaited your return, my liege. Our hearts and swords are at your service. " Reep says performing a proud nod.

"Oh my gosh, he is so cute." I heard the youngest say, this must be Queen Lucy.

"Who said that!" Reep says drawing his sword.

"Sorry!" Lucy nervously apologizes.

"Oh, uh. Your majesty with the greatest respect I do believe "courageous" "courteous" or "chivalrous" might more befit a knight of Narnia." Reep says.

"Well at least we know some of you can handle a blade." Peter says. Does he not remember I literally have his blade in my hand? "We are going to need every sword we can get." He says stepping forward towards me. Caspian also stepping up.

"Well then, you will probably be wanting yours back." I say with an noticeable fake smile. I hand Peter his sword and surprisingly he doesn't break eye contact with me. He takes it and puts it where it belongs, with him. He gives me a small smile which I ignore and walk straight past him. Caspian laughs and follows not far behind me.

"Well it's good you have troops, but we need fortifications, somewhere to train." Peter says to me.

"Just wait and see." I say to him trying to speed up. After a while of continuous walking in the woods there lies an open field. It was beautiful, the air was crisp and trees taller than imaginable. There were mountains but most importantly a place to train and camp out. You could see on the other side of the field a structure of stone, hidden in the hills. We crossed the field and walked between two ancient columns. The six of us in front walked past the many centaurs lined up with their swords drawn high in respect. We all stopped as the centaurs put their swords up high connecting the top creating a walkway. The four siblings walked along as if they were used to it. Me and Caspian shared a look and a quick grin but continued to make headway through the path.

I noticed a child centaur trying it's best to hold up the sword as high as it can. His father helped him a little and readjusted the sword for him. He gave me a smile which I gladly returned. Then we walked through the stone monument, into it.

There were many Narnians working and building making armory and weapons. Torches lit the room and we didn't stop to see them work.

"It may not be what you're used to, but it's defensible." Caspian said to Peter and Edmund.

"Peter. You may want to see this." High Queen Susan calls from the steps. Peter walks to Susan and Caspian follows.

"You're Y/n. Right?" A boy says behind me.

"Yeah." I saw with a straight face.

"I saw you fighting my brother, you have some skill." He said back to me. Why was he trying to start conversation with me? I ignored him and continued to follow Caspian.

"Why only some? King Edmund." I say with slight attitude. He jogged up to me and walked with me.

"Well you're not the best swordsman I've seen." He says returning the attitude. This made me angry, everything I knew my father and Caspian taught me.

"Yeah and who's better? You?" I say aggressively.

"I mean you said it not me. And call me Edmund." He says. I roll my eyes trying to show him I had no joy in talking to him. He just gave a small laugh.

Once we caught up to the other four, the cave we entered was covered his drawings of past Narnia tales. I've heard of them from Legends, stories.

"It's us." Susan announces. I mean obviously. Who else would it be? We don't have any other Kings and Queens of Narnia now do we? They continued to search for more and more drawings.

"What is this place." Lucy asks calmly.

"You don't know?" Caspian says with a laugh. My jaw dropped with a smile, I thought of all people the Kings and Queens would know where we were. Caspian takes a torch of its stand and I take one off from the other side. I walked in front of Peter and Caspian passed the four of them as well. We lead them further into the dark cave. Once we got the the completely dark room, the only light we had were three torches. The four siblings stopped in the center of the room when me and Caspian walked to either side. Caspian slowly laid his torch to touch a small wall that went up to his waist. The fire spread in a straight line showing great carvings of Centaurs and birds and Narnian soldiers.

Then I lit up the other side, repeating what happened to Caspian's side. All attention went to me as I lit a path of fire also showing ancient Narnian carvings. Then once the two lines of fire met in the center a huge flame came up but slowly died down revealing the one and only Aslan. Lucy slowly and steadily walked up the the broken monument infront of Aslans carving. I heard stories of it and I knew how much Aslan meant to Queen Lucy.

"He must know what he's doing." Lucy said turning back to Susan.

"I think it's up to us now." Peter said interrupting the quick moment of silence.
