With Edmund
Edmund is tied to tree as Ginarrbrick taunts him.
"The Minotaurs on the left, we'll keep the giants in reserve, and send in the dwarfs first." Otmin said
The witch looks at the plans and then... Aslan's army comes in and there is confusion. The witch goes through camp and sees Ginarrbrick tied to the tree, a knife in his hat, and gagged. She takes the knife and looks like she's going to kill him then cuts him down
"You're not going to kill me? Are you?" Ginarrbrick asked
"Not yet! We have work to do." She said turning to Otmin
At Aslan's camp
Aslan and Edmund are on the rock above the camp, talking. Peter and Lily come out of their respective tents and see him. Then Susan, Sophie, and Lucy come out of their tents.
"EDMUND!" Lucy yelled
Peter stops her from running to Edmund. Aslan motions Edmund down and they go to the group of five.
"What's done is done. There is no reason to bring up the past with Edmund." Aslan said
Aslan walked away, leaving Edmund with the five.
"Hello." Edmund said
Sophie went up to Edmund, gave him a hug, and kissed his cheek. Everyone, except Sophie, saw he was blushing.
"Oh, Edmund." Lucy said
Lucy hugs him, then Susan, and then Lily does too.
"How are you feeling?" Susan asked
"Kinda tired." Edmund replied
"Get some rest... and Edmund... try not to wander off again." Peter said
Edmund grinned and went into his and Peter's tent.
At breakfast
"Narnia isn't going to run out of toast Ed." Lucy joked
"Then you better pack some for the journey." Peter said
"We're going home?" Susan asked
"You are, I promised I'd keep you five safe but there's no reason I can't stay and help." Peter said
"But they need us... All six of us." Sophie said
"Sophie it's too dangerous. You and Lucy almost drowned, Edmund was almost killed!" Peter exclaimed
"Which is why we have to stay." Edmund said
They all look at him.
"I've seen what the White Witch can do and I've helped her do it, we can't leave these people behind to suffer for it." Edmund said
Lucy holds Edmund's hand.
"Well I guess that's it then." Susan said as she got up
"Where are you going?" Peter asked
SUSAN (picks up bow and quiver) To get in some practice.
Edmund and Sophie decided to spar. Peter cheers on Edmund, while Lucy cheers on Sophie.
"Come on Ed, don't let a girl beat you!" Peter shouted at Edmund
"You can do it Soph!" Lucy screamed
Edmund and Sophie clashed their swords and it ended up being Sophie who beat Edmund.
"I win!" Sophie said
Lucy was jumping up and down while Peter was in shock.
Susan and Lily practice shooting at the target. Susan shot her arrow and it missed the target by a little. Lily then shot her arrow and it hit the bullseye.
Then Peter and Edmund were practicing sword fighting on horses.
"Come on Ed, sword hand up like Oreius showed us." Peter said
Their swords clashed. Then Mr. Beaver came running up, causing Edmund's horse to rear.
"Whoa horsey!" Edmund said
"My name is Philip." The horse said
"Oh, sorry." Edmund apologized
"You better come quick the Witch has requested a meeting with Aslan. She's on her way here." Mr. Beaver said
In Aslan's camp
"Jadis! Queen of Narnia! Empress of the Lone Islands!" Ginarrbrick yelled
The witch arrives at the camp, Cyclops carry her on a throne. She hops down, and walks towards Aslan.
"You have a traitor in your midst, Aslan." The witch said
Everyone gasps.
"His offense was not against you." Aslan said
"Have you forgotten the Deep Magic?" The witch asked
"Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was made." Aslan growled
"Then you will know that the boy belongs to me." The witch said
She turns to the crowd.
Peter and Sophie draw their swords.
"Try and take him them." Peter said
"You think that mere force will deny me my right, little King and Queen? Aslan knows that if I do not have blood as the law demands, all of Narnia will be overturned, and perish, in fire and water." The witch said
Everyone gasps.
"That boy-" she points to Edmund. "-will die on the Stone Table." The witch said
"Enough, I shall talk with you alone." Aslan said
He enters his tent with the witch following.
After about an hour Edmund and Sophie are picking grass, Lucy is laying her head in Susan's lap, and Peter has his arm around Lily. Finally the witch exits Aslan's tent with Aslan behind her.
"She has denounced her claim on the Son-of-Adam." Aslan said
The Narnians and the six cheer.
"How will I know your promise will be kept?" The witch asked
Aslan roar and the witch falls into her seat. The Narnians laugh and the witch leaves. Aslan sighs and walks into his tent.
Later that night
Lucy is quietly resting, when she sees a shadow. She wakes Susan and Sophie.
"Susan! Sophie!" Lucy whispered
Susan sees the shadow, the three leave the tent. Aslan is leaving the camp, they follow him through the forest.
"Aren't you suppose to be in bed?" Aslan asked
"We couldn't sleep." Lucy said
"Please, Aslan. Couldn't we come with you?" Sophie asked
"I would be glad of the company tonight. Thank you." Aslan said
They walked further until Aslan stopped.
"It is time. From now on, I must go on alone. Thank you Susan. Thank you Lucy. Thank you Sophie. And farewell." Aslan said
Susan, Sophie, and Lucy went over to a hill to watch Aslan.
Aslan walks to the Stone Table.
"Behold! The great lion." The witch said sarcastically
"Why doesn't he fight back?" Lucy asked
"Bind him. Wait! First let him be shaved." The witch said
The creatures cut off Aslan's mane.
"Bring him to me." The witch ordered
They drag him up to the Stone Table.
"You know, Aslan, I'm a little disappointed in you. Did you really think that by giving your life you would save the human boy? Ha. You are giving up your life, and saving no one. So much for love." The witch said
Sophie and Susan looked at each other.
"Tonight, the Deep magic will be appeased, and tomorrow, we will take Narnia, Forever!" The witch yelled
"In that knowledge... despair... and DIE!" The witch yelled
She plunges in the knife as Aslan's growls in pain, soon his eyes slowly close.
"The great cat is DEAD!" The witch yelled
Her army cheers loudly.
"General, gather your army and prepare for battle. However short it may be." The witch ordered
Otmin lets out a huge roar.
After the witch and her army are gone
Susan, Sophie, and Lucy come up and cry and lean on Aslan. Lucy gets an idea and starts unscrewing her cordial.
"It's too late. He's gone. I'm sure he knew what he was doing. We have to go." Susan said
"We can't just leave him here." Lucy said
"Lucy there's not time. We have to tell the others." Sophie said
"The Trees." Lucy suddenly said
Susan looked like she was thinking over something, when she finally spoke.
"I'm going back to help the others." Susan said
Lucy shook her head.
"But, Susan-" Lucy started
"I have to Peter, Lily, and Edmund are going to need help with the war." Susan said
Lucy and Sophie walked up to Susan and gave her hugs.
"Good luck Susan." Sophie said
"Thanks. Promise me you two will be careful." Susan said
"We promise." Sophie said
Lucy nodded her head in agreement.
Susan got up and ran back to camp.
At Aslan's camp
Lily, Peter, and Edmund are sleeping in Edmund and Peter's tent. Peter and Edmund point their swords at the entrance. Suddenly, a Dryad appears.
"Fear not my princes and princess. I bring grave news from your sisters." The Dryad said
Susan comes running into the camp and tells Edmund, Peter, and Lily everything. Peter and Lily then go into Aslan's tent. A little while later, they walk out of Aslan's tent.
"It is true, he's gone." Peter said
"Then you'll have to lead us." Edmund said
"There's a whole army out there waiting to follow you." Lily said
"I can't." Peter said
"Aslan believed you could. And so do we." Susan said
"The witch's army is nearing, sire. What are your orders?" Oreius asked
Peter looks down at the map and then looks at Susan, Lily, and Edmund.
"You ready?" Peter asked
"Thought you'd never ask." Lily said
They smile at each other.
