Please enjoy! Oh Scarlet is my OC from my other stories so if you want I bio of her got to 'The Awaited Return' and read that one.
Let the Games Begin
"So who's coming to Cair Paravel?" Edmund asked walking down a hallway with Scarlet.
"Well some friends and well two of every type of creature in Narnia," Scarlet replied.
"What?! Do you know how many guests will be here?" Edmund exclaimed.
"I know, but it's some kind if Narnian tradition," Scarlet said a little shaky.
"I wonder what we do to occupy them..." Edmund wondered.
"I don't know. There is some sort of tradition they do," Scarlet answered.
"I wonder what it is..." Edmund said. since this was their first Christmas in Narnia Scarlet or the Pevensies had no clue what to expect.
Edmund and Scarlet walked on in silence. When they reached their destination they opened the door to find everyone who was coming was there.
"Hullo," Edmund and Scarlet said overwhelmed by the number of guest.
"Please take a seat my very late brother and friend, King and Queen," Peter said Feeling quite annoyed because the two were late for the meeting.
Scarlet and Edmund found an empty seat and decided they could both fit on it.
"As you all know we have a tradition at Christmas time. However, our Kings and Queens do not know of it," Kasper a wise old owl said.
"Sorry," Lucy apologized.
"do not fear my dear young Queen you will soon find out. Now let the weapons be handed out," Kasper said.
A few fauns passed out little metal blow tubes. Everyone smiled and stared at the Kings and Queens confused expressions.
"What are we going to do with these? Blow darts at each other?" Susan asked bewildered.
"No, no not that. There is paint inside each blow tube. Everyone who is playing is a rival. You see this is what our tradition is... We play Asassin. If you see someone who is in the game you blow through the tube and then the paint will hit them. Then That means that person who got hit is out. Now pass out the horns," Kasper instructed the fauns.
"Narnians play Asassin?!" Scarlet exclaimed because she had played once but it was with her and her brothers friends. The Pevensies were also in shock because they had played once before.
"Yes we do, but we have a few rules we will go over in a minute. Now please pass the horns out!" Kasper yelled.
The fauns came around again and passed out ivory horns about the size of Susan's, but of course they weren't magical.
"Now if you have hit someone blow your horn. If you hear any of these horns being blown, come to this room for the meeting. Then we will see who got hit and then cross their name off this black board. Once you have been hit and your name has been crossed off you don't have to come to the meetings unless you want to. Do not worry we will still have time to spend together without the danger of being hit. We have rules.
1. You may not try to hit someone at meal times
2. The game is stopped at nighttime
3. We have one hour of free time without worrying about the game
Now if you break any of these rules you will be disqualified," Kasper explained. "Any questions?"
Edmund raised his hand.
"Yes?" Kasper asked.
"If we're running to a meeting and we see other contestants running beside us can we hit them?" Edmund asked.
"Yes, but you must blow your horn. However once you are ten yards from this room you may not shoot. and no you cannot stand ten yards from the door and wait for the others to come. Anyone else?" Kasper answered.
"I have one. What happens if we run out of paint?" Susan asked.
"You must come to me. Don't worry I'm not playing so you will be safe," Kasper said.
"How will we know when we start and stop?" Lucy asked.
"You will hear the bell on the roof of Cair Paravel to tell you when to start and stop," Kasper answered yet again.
"How can some of the beas- er animals hold the blow tubes?" Peter asked curiously.
"They have their ways..." Kasper said getting impatient.
"How do we know who wins?" Scarlet asked.
"Whoever is the last one standing wins, but the game officially ends at midnight on Christmas Eve during the ball. That time limit is only there in case we have a tie. That gives you one week to demolish your opponents," Kasper said getting very tired of the questions.
"I'm so going to beat you," Scarlet said to Edmund.
"No I'm going to beat you," Edmund said with a smirk.
"One more question, Kasper. What do I get when I kick Edmund's butt at this game?" Scarlet Questioned still staring at Edmund.
"No what will I get when I kick Scarlet's butt?" Edmund said still looking at Scarlet.
"First of all, it's a surprise. Second of all we Narnians are masters at this. So you might not win," Kasper said.
"I'll win," Edmund and Scarlet said in unison while glaring at each other.
Peter, Susan, and Lucy all had the same thought... This is going to mean war between Scarlet and Edmund.
"Well I suppose that ends our meeting. Now disperse because the bell will ring in five minutes and we don't want a ambush with us all in the same room. I give you one piece of advice, watch your back," Kasper said.
Everyone walked out of the room quickly hoping to get to their own chambers before the bell rang.
"Good luck, Scarlet," Edmund said looking at her mishievously.
"Good luck, Edmund, you'll need it," Scarlet replied.
They both turned around and departed and went in their separate ways only looking back once.
Scarlet was at the door of her bedroom when the bell rang.
She smiled.
"Let the games begin."
Author's Note: So I modernised their dialogue. Sorry if you do not like. Well I was watching an episode of iCarly when they played Asassin. I thought it would be funny for the Narnians to do it. So it's really modernised in the plot... Kinda. I'm not even sure if this is a real game. I hope it is it sounds fun. Please review!
