(Snowfrost 23rd, sixteenth hour, Ethan's POV)
Now when your trudging through about two feet of snow, while it's snowing, few things are as welcoming as seeing home no more than fifty yards off. With a new vigour we walked faster and faster through the snow banks. We got to the gates and went into the courtyard, women and children rushed in to meet their fathers, husband and brothers. Cries of happiness when families were reunited and cries of sadness when they found out that there family member would not be coming back. I noticed the deep, sincere sadness in the Captain's eyes as he told each and every broken family. I was so absorbed by the sight that I did not notice when Peter came up beside me.
"Ethan, we need you in the council room, come on." I silently followed Peter as we walked through the halls, no words said between us. We entered through the double doors and Peter sat down in his rightful place, leaving me standing. We waited till Captain Klyro got there and sat down. Other lords and officers were there as well, including the General.
"Ethan," King Edmund said. That was the first thing he said to me since the incident in the garden. "Captain Klyro tells us the you witnessed a werewolf appearing out of thin air?"
"What the Captain says is true, I saw it first-hand."
"So we are dealing with a sorcerer of some sort." Lord Peridan said.
"Not necessarily, hags and harpies are known for their dabbles in black magic." Peter said.
"If I may?" I asked, hoping for a chance to speak. Peter granted it. "The night after the battle I had a dream, a vision, that I was standing in a burnt village, the Four were dead and so were many others." I had to keep myself from shuddering from the though of Helena's dead body. "A cloaked figure approached me with a staff in one hand and the High King's crown in the other. In my dream the enemy had won. When I awoke I jumped out of bed and after making sure that it was just a dream I asked Aslan if there was a way prevent it, He came to me and said I must discover my family ancestry in order to stop this threat."
"No offense," One of the council men said. "but how do we know he can be trusted, he is practically a stranger to us?" Without saying anything I pulled up my sleeve and showed them the healed skin, there were no signs of wounds anywhere.
"Captain Klyro can testify that I was wounded during the battle, if you wish for further proof the healer assigned to me can testify also. When Aslan came to me he healed me, as you see it worked." Peter looked around before he spoke.
"I believe that was he says is true, and if it will help save Narnia then you will have free access to the archives and the help of the best scholars in Narnia." The same lord who addressed me (no clue what his name is) had obvious signs of displeasure to this whole idea, but he knew batter than to argue with the High King.
"This council is dismissed." King Edmund said as he got up and left the room, the council men trailing behind. I went to my room (thanks to the help of a raven, I didn't know how to get to my room from the council chamber) and enjoyed a warm bath. I was so tired that I didn't notice all the decorations that were set up, or the large amphibious creature in the water.

(Snowfrost 23rd, sixteenth hour, Helena's POV)
I was so happy that father was home, after he changed his clothes he came in and sat in the living room, the twins sat on the floor in front of him, mother sat on the setee with him while I sat on the hearth.
"Did you get fighted by fell?" Gythar asked with wide eyes.
"Yes I did, but we fought them off."
"Are you okay?" Mother asked, her being the head healer of the Cair she was always worried about everybody's wellbeing, even with being eight months pregnant she still managed her duties.
"I'm fine, I managed to come out unscathed, Ethan on the other hand didn't."
"Is he alright?" I asked, father gave me a quick, worried look.
"He got severe cuts from werewolves on his arms and legs, he collapsed from lack of blood." I was about to get up to go check on him before father continued. "But during the night Aslan came to him and healed him." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and if it wasn't for Gabhar and Gythar's excitement I would of been heard. I was felt that I was at peace with all of Narnia.
oh dear, what did Edmund do to Ethan. And just for a date for y'all it would be December 23 Christmas Eve's eve. So next chapter will be the Christmas ball.
