Edmund looked at them quite astonished. Lyre is just a maid, but the way Caspian treats her is nowhere being like a personal servant. They're more of like cousins or siblings or what Caspian had said, friends. The three of them turned around when they heard footsteps. Peter is ready for battle with the others and he looked at the three.

"Come on now, we don't have all day" Peter ordered and went out.

"You're going to attack right now?" lyre asked quite shocked.

Peter nodded proudly.

Lyre looked at his army and she doesn't seem to be pleased.

"You're outnumbered" lyre said honestly.

Peter drew a deep breath, getting tired of the same thing. "Do you want our help or not?"

Rolling his eyes, Edmund gets up along with Caspian to join the battle and pats Lyre on the shoulder.

"Don't worry about it" he said and smiled.

When they're about to go out of Aslan's How, Caspian stopped Lyre from following.

"You stay here" Caspian ordered in a whisper.

Lyre looks confused and wouldn't want to be left out in such an important event. "I also want to fight and see Doctor Cornelius"

"I'll get him, but you stay here and rest"

"But—"

"No buts this time"

Lyre watched him leave with the others and sat down again, annoyed. That's another thing she hates about Caspian. He treats her like a kid who needs to be looked after always. But she can take care of herself and she wants to prove it. Lyre lied down and stared at the ceiling blankly. It was just yesterday that she is having fun at the river with Caspian and now, they're being hunt down by Telmarines to be killed. She doesn't understand how this world works really and she doesn't want to understand it at all. While staring blankly, she smelled something—something burning. She quickly sat up and saw the young centaurs playing with fire and laughing. Lyre couldn't breathe, she feels so suffocated and scared—reminding her bad memories that nearly killed her.

Lucy is wandering around the passageways when the young centaurs ran out of one of the chambers and a cry arouse. It was Lyre. Quickly, she ran inside and saw lyre curled up in one corner, crying aloud.

"Lyre, what's wrong?" Lucy asked worriedly, thinking maybe she is hurt somewhere.

But she isn't hurt, she is more frightened about something and she pushed Lucy away and starts to scream.

After two hours, peter and the others are on their way back to the how severely hurt and fewer. But Caspian feels relieved that he got the chance to save Doctor Cornelius and save him. And Peter began to blame him for not sticking to the plan and starts to fight. Susan and the other narnians try to break them off and Edmund left them in annoyance for how they act. He went inside the how, his lower lip bleeding from earlier and his whole body aching. He suddenly stop walking when he saw Lucy running towards him worriedly.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

But Lucy didn't answer and just pulled her brother towards one of the chambers. When they went in, Lyre is still in one corner, crying out loud out of fright.

"I don't know what's wrong with her" Lucy explained.

Edmund ran towards her and grabbed her arms, but lyre tries to shrug him off.

"Lyre, calm down. It's me, Edmund!" he exclaimed, still grabbing her arms.

"There's a fire! fire!" lyre cried, kicking and pushing him away.

He evades her punches on his face and looked at Lucy, "What fire?"

"I-I don't know. There were centaurs playing with fire earlier, but it didn't cause any danger"

He went back to lyre, hushing her and pulled her to his arms to calm her down. Lyre is still crying, hugging Edmund so tight to feel safe. Slowly, she starts to calm, hiccupping with her sobbing.

He stayed by her side for a moment until she fell asleep again. Her forehead still feels a bit painful and she needs a few more rest to let it heal. Edmund and Lucy heard footsteps and saw Caspian come in, looking worried. He approached them and caressed Lyre's face which is all wet with tears and sweat..

"What happened to her?" Caspian asked.

"We really don't know"

Caspian carried her to get her to the others and Edmund and Lucy walked with him. Some of the narnians are busy helping each other with the wounds they got from the battle when they arrived.

"I'll go get water" Lucy said and ran.

Caspian placed Lyre above the broken stone table and Edmund watches her.

"Hey Caspian, may I ask something?" Edmund asked.

"What is it?" Caspian asked back.

"Why is she afraid of fire?"

Caspian is surprised to hear the question. He never thought that someone would ask him that. "Why do you ask?"

"Well Lucy told me that she kept on shouting and crying because of a fire"

"Well, I really never had the courage to ask her that. But I think Professor Cornelius could help us with that" Caspian explained.

They left lyre for a while and found Doctor Cornelius giving medicine to one of the critically injured Minotaur.

"Professor" Caspian called out.

Cornelius turned around to see Caspian and Edmund.

"Oh, do you need to be treated with your wounds?" Cornelius asked.

"Uh, no. We're here to ask about Lyre"

"Lyre?"

The two young men nodded.
