"Welcome Peter Adam's son, Welcome Susan and Lucy daughters-of- Eve. Welcome Beavers, and welcome back Protector. You have my thanks, but where is the fourth." The great lion asked.
"That's why we are here,sir." Peter started addressing the lion as they stood.
"We had a little trouble along the way." Continued the oldest sister.
"He's been captured by the White Witch." Peter finished. Not wanting to meet the eyes of the leader.
"Captured! How did this happen? Arianna?" The lion said with a twinge of disappointment in his voice that only the Protector picked up. She looked at the ground, ashamed. If only she had gotten there earlier.
"He betrayed them your, Excellence!" Mr. Beaver exclaimed.
"Then he has betrayed us all" the centaur at the entrance of the tent said, causing an agreement to run through the crowd.
"Peace Oreius." Arianna and Aslan said together. The lion looked to her apologetically, but the young warrior just looked down guiltily. Which did not go unnoticed by the young King.
"It is my fault really. I was too hard on him." Peter told the golden lion as he hung his head.
"We all were." Susan replied putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Sir, he's our brother." Lucy pleaded. Arianna felt a pang through her heart at the desperateness.
"I know dear one and that makes the betrayal all the worse. It may be harder than you think." Aslan said softly to the young girl.
Peter stood on a hill over looking the ocean and a castle in the distance, lost in thought. Some of which were on a certain violet eyed elf, wondering just how much more there was to her story.
"That is Cair Paravel, the castle of the four thrones one of which you must sit as High King." Aslan said coming up behind the boy. Peter said nothing as he solemnly looked out over the sea.
"You doubt the prophecy." Aslan stated.
"No, that's just it...I'm not who you think I am." Peter told him, softly.
"Peter Pevensie formerly of Finchley. Beaver also said you wanted to turn him into a hat.-Aslan laughed lightly, as Peter cracked a smile-Peter there is a Deep Magic that rules over Narnia. It defines right from wrong and helps us fulfill destinies, both yours and mine." Aslan tried to reassure him.
"I don't think I will be able to do this."
"You were able to get your family here." Aslan told him, trying to give comfort.
"Not all of them." Peter replied solemnly thinking about Edmund and praying that he was okay.
"I will do what I can for Edmund. For, I too want my family safe. For what it's worth, Peter, Arianna believes in you. Quite a lot if I am correct." Aslan promised as he gazed out across the land longingly.
Arianna leaned against a tree as she watched the Pevensie sisters. Though truthfully her thoughts were on a certain blue eyed human whom she was hoping was starting to find himself.
"Mother hasn't had a dress like this since before the war." Susan told her sister as she gazed happily at her dress.
"Maybe we had bring back a whole trunk load when we go home."
"If we ever get home...Sorry I guess I am like that. Remember when we use to have fun?" Susan asked a slightly faraway look in her eye.
"Yes, before you go boring." Arianna couldn't help but let out a chuckle as the young girl giggled.
"Oh really?" Susan asked before splashing Lucy with water. The girls continued to splash water at each other before Susan went to get a towel. After grabbing the towel off the tree she shrieked when she saw Maugrim and two other wolves standing behind him.
"Now, We're very tired. We'd prefer to kill you quickly." He growled. Arianna went to draw her swords but realized they were missing and instead pulled out her dagger. She ran forward as Susan threw the towel and pulled Lucy up the tree. Arianna tackled the first wolf wrestling with him until she stabbed him killing him quickly. Susan blew the horn from Father Christmas whilst trying to keep the wolves from reaching her feet. Arianna forgetting about her dagger, just wanting to protect the Queens, tackled Maugrim and the other wolf away from the tree. She heard footsteps human and creature alike coming to help. Maugrim left her grasp while she continued to wrestle the other wolf. She finally had him wrestled and pinned in time to see what happened with Peter and Maugrim. Oreius tried to go forward and help the king but was stopped by Arianna and Aslan.
"Stay back." Arianna struggled to say keeping the wolf pinned.
"This is Peter's battle." Aslan finished. Maugrim started to circle Peter as Arianna prayed in her head for him to pull through this.
"You may think you're a king. But your going to die, like a dog!" Maugrim growled before lunging at the boy. Susan and Peter squealed and Arianna had to stop herself from running to the boy. Susan and Lucy ran to him and pushed off the dead carcass of Maugrim to find a very alive and surprised Peter. Arianna looked to Aslan and he nodded. She let go of the wolf. He took off into the woods.
"Follow him! He'll lead you to Edmund." The lion ordered. Arianna stood and jumped up onto Oreius' back as he galloped by, she glanced back and Peter and nodded her approval. With her sensitive hearing she could hear as Peter was given his first honor as a warrior of Narnia.
"Peter, clean your sword. Rise, Sir Peter Wolfsbane-Knight of Narnia." Arianna let a small smile grace her lips as they carried on through the woods. After approximately half and hours time they were approaching the camp. Arianna warned them to be quiet knowing Devlyn would hear them coming. When they finally came to it Arianna jumped off of Oreius and they all ran in with a battle cry. The others took care of the guards while she went straight to Edmund. She knocked out Ginnabrick before untying and ungaging Edmund.
"Wh- who are you?" he asked. Arianna smiled softly at him.
"I'm here to take you to your family, my liege." she replied. Before helping the boy up and running him to Oreius. "Get him out of here. She told the centaur. He nodded before taking off with the young monarch on his back. Arianna went back and made quick work of tying the dwarf to the tree and gagging him. She also left a note for Devlyn. It was tied to her dagger of the matching pair they had. She stuck it in the tree next to Ginnabrick's face. The parchment had a simple statement placed upon it.
There is always forgiveness for those who seek it, Dev. -A, and with that she was gone on the horse that had been left behind for her.
