3 strong fast horses galloped over the green dew covered grass as the sun rises over the huge castle ,Cair Paravel. They gallop in formation of a triangle, the men riding these horses are easily recognised, one as high king peter. He grins as he urges his pure white horse faster with his hips, golden hair getting in his eyes so he runs his hand though it and looks back at his younger brother, King Edmund. Edmund's dark locks matches the dark colour of his black male steed, a smiles lights up his face as he pushes his horse faster to match his older brothers pace, he becomes aware of another horse to his right and his smile widens as he glances across at Caspian. Caspian's chestnut horse keeps up easily with Edmunds as he looks out over at the horizon. Both horses match peter's pace and they ride alongside him, the sun rises and casts a golden glow on a Hill not to far away.

Peter's POV.

I have never felt so at ease, no more war. We won. Just that thought brings a small smile to my face as I hold tightly to the reigns of my horse, Light. I cast my eyes up to the nearing training grounds and grin, I turn to look at Caspian who has grown to be a trusted friend of mine especially since his love for Susan. He smirks back and only I and my brother know what that means. A race.

"To the training grounds?" Edmund asks smirking back.

"Your on." Caspian replies a determined look crossing his face.

"Go." I snarl and Light speeds forward without me even asking ,he can feel my body language and knows what's going on. Caspian's horse urges forward as does Edmunds and I look at what lies ahead. I easily steer Light left cutting of Edmund and speed him onwards towards a short cut in the woods, I hear Caspian's horse, Omega following close behind. The trees get narrower and my golden locks blow in my face, I see a fallen tree nearing and clear the jump easily. Landing back on the path I see the training grounds nearing I smile a little to soon as Caspian cuts of the path and goes down a different one which may make him get there quicker than me.

"On no you don't." I growl and speed Light onwards faster .I see my chance. A huge jump, it's a fallen tree and on the other side water, I have never cleared this jump before. Let alone even attempt, but going around could cost me the race, I grit my teeth and speed Light onwards once more. I feel him speed up significantly and his hooves leave the root tangled ground. Then we are air borne, I hear the splash of hooves hitting the water on the other side and I let out a soft groan of pain as the ruff landing jostles my still secretly injured shoulder, but I grin we did it. I pull back on the leather reigns and Light skids to a stop right in the middle of the training grounds by a tall tree. Seconds later Caspian guides his horse to a stop as I pat Light on the neck and my grin widens. Edmund then comes over the hillside after Caspian a scowl on his face. This causes Caspian who has now walked his horse over to stand next to mine and myself to burst out laughing. My brother has grass staines on his silk trousers and a small graze on his left cheek suggesting that he came off his horse when I cut him off. He walks over his black horse over and he scowls some more.

"Oh shut up." Edmund replies to our laughter, but yet I can't seem to stop as I dismount my steed and pat his white fur once again. This earns me another scowl from Edmund and I raise my hands in mock surrender.

"Ok ok sorry." I reply and compose myself as I re-adjust my sheath which contains my gleaming sword, Rhindon. I glanced over at Edmund who was strapping on his sword and smiled slightly. I turned back to Light and took of his heavy saddle and leaned it up against the big tall oak tree, that casts a strong shadow which provided some cool shade for our horses to rest in as the sun rose higher into the sky.

"So how should this work? Like a tournament kinda thing?" I mused and lent against the tree as I looked over to Caspian who casted and evil looking smirk over to Edmund who returned it equally.

"Actually peter, we where thinking that with you being one of the best fighters Narnia has." Caspian started seriousness in his voice.

"That It should be Edmund and Me vs you." Caspian finished and folded his arms.

"That way it's fair." Ed joined in and stood next to Caspian facing me.

"2 vs 1?" I replied as I pushed away from the bark and walked into the golden light away from the horses. I turned and drew my sword it glinted in the sun and a small smirk played on my face.

"Bring it then." I snarled and got in a fighting stance, they both drew their swords and started circling me like sharks waiting to strike. I saw out of the corner of my eye caspian's charge with his sword, I turned with lighting speed and parried his lunge . I quickly turned just in time to parry Edmund's long blade, Caspian kicked my side hard and this caused me to grimace, I lunged out and hit his sword hard out of his hands, then ducked as Edmund's sword flew over my head and in the process I swept Caspian's feet sending him the ground. I bounced back up just in time to dodge Edmund's wild punch and land one of my own in his ribs then his stomach winding him which sent him back a few feet. I hear Caspian's sword be drawn once more and he brought it down on me but all it met was my steel blade, he quickly tried at another angle which I successfully blocked. He lunged once more but before I could block it I felt Edmund grab my sword holding arm and twist it painfully behind my back, my still not healed shoulder screamed in pain causing me to hiss . I growled and stomped on his foot causing him to cry out, I landed a solid kick to his chest putting him back on the ground, before I could turn Caspian punched me hard in my bad side of my ribs once more. I couldn't hold back a groan, which did cause Caspian to hesitate slightly, I took this as an advantage and kick him hard in his left knee forcing him to kneel. I grabbed Rhigidon and his sword and held it to his neck to which he didn't move. I turned to Ed who had gotten to his feet but made no attempt to attack, but he did lock eyes with Caspian, I realised their next move to late. Caspian swept my feet out from underneath me and I landed hard on my injured shoulder and ribs cage so hard I saw stars and I couldn't help but grimace in pain. I blinked the stars away and felt the cold steel against my neck. I could see their faces triumphant, Caspian's blade was removed from my neck which was beaded with sweat from the blazing sun. Caspian and Edmund where breathless and smiles plastered their faces.

"Not bad." Caspian grinned and fist bumped Edmund.

"Yeah That was hard, good though." Ed said as Caspian walked away to a nearby stream for water. A burning pain still raged in my ribs and shoulder making me feel dizzy still, I barely registered Ed's outstretched hand. I took it my shoulder screaming in protest as he pulled me to my feet I groaned again this earned me a concerned look from my brother.

"You ok Pete?" Edmund asked all the triumph from earlier completely gone. I managed a small nod feeling exhausted. It had only been about a week since I fought Miraz..maybe it was too soon to be training.

"Your not ok..come on let's get out of the sun." Ed said and snaked his arm around my waist which allowed me to lean my weight into him, I felt the cool shade as soon as it hit my skin and sighed in relief. I heavily sat down and hissed in pain as the tree jostled my shoulder, I closed my eyes letting my eyelids that felt like weights pulling them down shut. I heard Edmund call for Caspian soon after his feet splashing out of the water and walking over. I pulled open my eyes to see Caspian and Edmund's concerned faces,

"What happened?" Caspian asked alarmed and knelt down on my left side.

"I don't know exactly, must be Miraz .." Ed trailed of and I felt his tense body on one side of me.

"I knew something was wrong." I heard Caspian mutter to himself. Ed seemed to ignore this.

"Peter? Brother can you hear me? where is the pain?" He spilled questions nervously.

"My shoulder and ribs..Miraz.." I coughed out then lent slight into ed. Caspian and Ed exchanged concerned and alarmed looks. I felt Caspian leave my side and I hear his feet back in the stream, I bit my lip in pain as Ed gently probed my ribs.

"Sorry." He mumbled and I felt Caspian come back and put a cold hand on the back of my neck, he gently tapped the side of my burning cheek, I opened my eyes and focused on what he was holding, a small goblet of pure water. I took it from his hand and nodded my thanks as I drank eagerly from it. After I emptied the entire thing I could feel some of the energy being regained though out my body.

"Caspian you're a faster rider, get help." At those small words, I tensed up.

"No." I gritted my teeth in pain. This caused both Ed and Caspian to looks puzzled and confused.

"Peter come on. You need medical attention." Caspian pointed out but I quickly cut him off

"If word gets out that I am still injured from Miraz the whole kingdom will think I am weak." I mange to choke out but each time I speak it's like a new realm of pain.

"Stop it. The whole kingdom is in great dept to you for fighting Miraz and winning, especially me." Caspian replied not meeting my eyes.

"I am the high king it's my duty, nobody is in dept to me." I say quietly feeling weaker by every passing second I can see Edmund can tell as I unknowingly lean into him more.

"I am." And with that Caspian got to his feet and mounted his steed. I watched as he disappeared over the hillside and gone out of site.

Edmund sighs and shifts his position so that I am leaning heavily into his chest, I let him take my weight and moan slightly as the movement jostles my smashed up ribs.

"Why didn't u say anything before?" Edmund asks as he soothing rubs small circles on my ribs, I sigh in pleasure as he relives some of the pain.

"Didn't want to worry you." I mumble softly resting my eyes closed. I feel him tense and quickly afterwards he speaks with a huff.

"You need to stop protecting me. You need to let me protect you for once." He replies annoyed and moves slightly which causes a massive ripple of pain to tear though my ribs and end at my shoulder, I can't help but cry out in pain. His body tenses more and he starts gushing apologies.

"Crap sorry, are you ok? Peter?" He asks urgently ,meanwhile his voice feels like it's a million miles away, my vision swims before my eyes and I take a deep breath which cause another eruption of pain. I feel my self slipping into unconsciousness and the last thing I hear before I back out is Edmund's panicked voice.
