Hey everyone, I am so sorry for the late update. I'm sorry if the chapter is short, but at least it's a chapter, right? I am back at College and I have a lot of work. I am trying to balance writing, having fun, and school work. I don't know when I'll update next, but hopefully it will be soon. I want to thank everyone for reviewing, favoriting, and alerting my story.

Somewhere deep in the forest called The Dancing Lawn, Caspian was standing in the center while all around him were angry Narnians. He was in awe as he saw fauns, centaurs, minotaurs, dwarfs, talking animals, and more. However, the Narnians were not so welcoming to him. They were shouting angrily at the prince. Nikabrik sneered at Caspian as he turned to the Narnians to get their attention.

"All this horn proves is that they've stolen yet another thing from us," Nikabrik said to accuse Caspian.

Caspian glares at Nikabrik as he said to him, "I didn't steal anything."

"Didn't steal anything? Shall we list the things the Telmarines have taken," a minotaur said to the Narnians.

"Our homes!"

"Our freedom!"

"Our lives!"

Caspian looked shocked at what the Narnians had said.

"You would hold me accountable for all the crimes of my people?"

Nikabrik walked up to the prince and he said to him, "Accountable...and punishable!"

Reepicheep laughed un-humorously at Nikabrik as he unshielded his sword and pointed it at the dwarf. "That's rich from you, dwarf. Or have you forgotten that it was your people who fought alongside the White Witch?"

Nikabrik pushed Reepicheep's sword away as he said, "And I'd gladly do it again if it would rid us of these barbarians!"

Sensing the tension growing bigger, Trufflehunter decided to say something. "Then we are lucky it is not in your power to bring her back. Or do you want us to ask this boy to go against Aslan?"

Caspian nearly jumped when the Narnians began to shout in protest. He could tell they were angry that someone suggested going against Aslan. Trufflehunter raised his paw to get the Narnians' attention again.

"Some of you may have forgotten, but we badgers remember well, that Narnia was never right except when a son of Adam was king," the badger said.

Nikabrik glared at the badger as he argued, "He's a Telmarine! Why would we want him as our king?"

"Because I can help you. Beyond these woods, I am a prince. The Telmarine throne is rightfully mine. Help me claim it, and I can bring peace between us," said the young prince.

Caspian looked around at the Narnians hoping they would believe him. The Narnians looked at each other wondering if the prince was telling the truth. Should the Narnians believe him or not? Caspian almost lost hope if it wasn't for Glenstorm, leader of the centaurs stepping forward to speak.

"It is true. The time is ripe. I watch the skies, for it is mine to watch as it is yours to remember, badger," said Glenstorm as he looked down at Trufflehunter. The badger smiled at the centaur as Glenstorm continued to speak. "Tarva, the Lord of Victory, and Alambil, the Lady of Peace has met, and here a son of Adam has come forth to offer us back our freedom."

Caspian had a smile on his face as he looked at Glenstorm. What caught his attention was a little squirrel named Pattertwig on one of the branches of the trees looking excited and hopeful.

"Is it possible? Do you really think there could be peace? Do you? I mean, really," ask Pattertwig the squirrel.

Caspian smiled slightly at the little squirrel. The prince turned back to the Narians as he said, "Two days ago, I didn't believe in the existence of talking animals, or dwarfs, or centaurs. Yet, here you are... in strength in numbers we Telmarines could never have imagined. Whether this horn is magic or not, it brought us together. And together, we have a chance to take back what is ours."

Caspian held the horn up high with determination. He was staring at Glenstorm to see if he would help the young prince. He was satisfied when he got his answer.

"If you will leads us, then my sons and I offer you our swords," said Glenstorm as he raised his sword up.

Caspian started to look around to see the Narnians pulling out the swords and weapons, holding them up high and showing Caspian some respect. Caspian smiled to see that the Narnians truly were going to fight with him. His thoughts were broken when Reepicheep approached him.

"And we offer you our lives... unreservedly," Reepicheep said as he bowed to the prince.

Trufflehunter looked at Caspian as he said, "Miraz's army will not be far behind, sire."

"If we are to be ready for them, we must hurry to find soldiers and weapons. I am sure they will be here soon," said Caspian.

The Narnians nodded their heads in agreement. Caspian looked down at the horn in his hand. He doesn't know if the Kings and Queens of Old will come but he hopes they will come… and hopefully soon.

And there you have it. I hope you liked the chapter. Please review and I'll try to update as soon as I can.
