LUCY WAS HOLDING onto reins as I readied my bow as we were still being pursued by a Telmarine on horseback. I loosed an arrow just as a familiar lion jumped out and roared. Destier reared and we fell off onto the hard ground. We looked up at the lion just before he jumped over our heads, knocking the soldier off his horse. Lucy and I ran to the top of the hill...and there he was and looked at us. "Aslan!" We both shouted in unison as we ran towards him and we embraced.

"I knew it was you. The whole time, I knew it. But the others wouldn't believe me," Lucy informed Aslan as we sat crossed legged in front of him.

"And why would that stop you from coming to me?" He asked and Lucy's eyes dropped with sadness.

"I'm sorry. I was too scared to come alone. Why haven't you shown yourself? I thought you'd come roaring in to save us like last time," I informed the lion who smiled wisely at him.

"Things never happen the same way twice," He informed us and I started playing with my bow.

"If I had come earlier... everyone who died... could I have stopped that?" Lucy asked and I wrapped an arm around her shoulders in comfort.

"We can never know what would have happened, Lucy. But what will happen is another matter entirely," Aslan said to her.

"You"ll help?" I asked him, knowing the others needed help.

"Of course, as will you," Aslan informed us making Lucy fidget with nerves.

"Oh, well I wish I was braver," Lucy said nervously.

"If you were any braver, you'd be a lioness. Now, I think your friends have slept long enough, don't you?" Aslan asked us before he roared his mighty roar.

Lucy and I hopped onto Aslan's back and he took off. I noticed that we were making our way to the river where I saw the Telmarines retreating to. Lucy and I quickly got off and stood on the other side of the bridge where the others were on the opposite side.

The Telmarines reached the bridge and started crossing. Halfway down, one of Miraz's men brought the army to a screeching halt when he noticed Lucy and I. Lucy draw her dagger as I readied my bow and smiled and then, Aslan joined us. The man stared more before he looked ahead, and then back, and yelled, "Charge!"

The Telmarines charged towards us and the lion roared making the Telmarines stop. The water beneath the bridge started behaving strangely. Then it shot up and formed a river-god. The river-god lifted up the bridge and soldiers fell off. The man stood alone on the bridge in the river-god's hands. He swang his sword wildly as the water came crashing down on him. The Telmarines climbed out of the water, handing their swords to the Narnians as the others made their way towards us. Lucy and I stood by Aslan's side as Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Caspian kneeled before the lion.

"Rise, kings and queens of Narnia," Aslan said and Peter, Susan, and Edmund rosed but Caspian stayed kneeling.

"All of you," Aslan said as he emphasised 'all'

"I do not think I am ready," Caspian informed the great lion.

"It's for that very reason I know that you are," Aslan informed him before Caspian rose to his feet.

Suddenly, we heard music as several mice walked up, carrying Reepicheep on a little stretcher. Lucy gave Reepicheep a drop from her cordial. He breathed and sat up. "Oh, thank you, Your Majesty..." He said before he saw Aslan.

"Oh, hail Aslan! It is a great honour to be..." Reepicheep stopped his sentence when tried to bow but stumbled forward.

He looked behind and realizes that his tail was missing. "I am completely out of countenance. I must crave your indulgence for appearing in this unseemly fashion. Perhaps a drop more?" He asked Lucy who looked down at her cordial.

"I don't think it does that," Lucy informed the mouse.

"You can have a go," Reepicheep encouraged the girl making Aslan chuckle.

"It becomes you well, Small One," Aslan explained to him.

"All the same, great king, I regret that I must withdraw. For a tail is the honour and glory of a mouse," Reepicheep informed the great lion.

"Perhaps you think too much of your honour, friend," Aslan suggested to the mouse.

"Well, it's not just the honour. It's also great for balance... and climbing... and grabbing things," Reepicheep listed his reasons making Aslan smile at him.

The other mice draw their swords and hold them to their tails. "May it please your high Majesty; we will not bear the shame of wearing an honour denied to our chief," Another mice suggested and Aslan laughed

"Not for your honour, but for the love of your people..." Aslan informed the mouse before Reepicheep tail grew back.

"Oh, look! Thank you, thank you, my liege! I will treasure it always! From this day forward, it will serve as a great reminder of my huge humility," Reepicheep thanked the lion and I smiled at the excited mouse.

"Now, where is this dear little friend you've told me so much about?" Aslan asked and we all looked over to Trumpkin.

Trumpkin looked over nervously and he slowly walked over and bowed before the lion. Aslan roared and Trumpkin shuddered. "Do you see him now?" Lucy asked jokily making us all laugh.
