Author's Note: I am going to write a sequel for this story. I might write a story about Risika going back to Alexandria after the war...so yeah. Would that be considered a fanfiction still if it's my own story and character just in a world of Narnia?? Idk. Haha. Someone tell me.
Alika and Risika turned to face the thousands of Telmarine troops. Risika sighed deeply.
"Are you ready, m'lady?"
Risika nodded her reply to Alika and they charged. Together they fought swiftly the Telmarine soldiers. Alika at front and Risika at her back. Risika saw the other's fighting well too. Caspian, Peter, and Edmund…even Susan with her bow and arrow.
Then, Risika saw Caspian fall into the ditch. She gasped and leapt from Alika's back. Alika called out to her, but Risika didn't bother to turn. She ran to Caspian and reached to help him from the ditch, but just as he grabbed her hand, someone shoved her in as well. She tumbled into Caspian, her sword falling elsewhere.
Caspian struggled to stand and help Risika, but then there was a loud cry. Both Telmarine children looked and saw Glozelle running at them with his spear in hand. Risika gasped and clutched onto Caspian. She shut her eyes and heard Caspian gasp, but no pain ever came. Risika looked to see Glozelle frozen where he stood. He was struggling. Risika clutched tighter to Caspian. Then, something reached out and grabbed Glozelle, smashing him into a nearby rock. Risika glanced at Caspian, but he was as confused as she was.
Caspian stood and helped Risika up. Peter looked down on them from outside the ditch.
"Come, hurry," he said as he lent them a hand. He pulled Caspian out and then both boys helped to pull Risika. Risika glanced around and saw what she hardly believed were trees. They seemed to walk and attack the soldiers by the tenths.
"Lucy," Peter explained everything with one word. Risika searched for her sword, but found nothing. Instead, she pulled the sword from a nearby body. It disgusted her, touching a dead body, but you could hardly walk anywhere at the moment without touching one.
Narnians cheered wildly as the trees crushed soldiers and war machines easily. Peter gave an order to charge and his Narnians obeyed. The Telmarines fled until they reached the river, where everyone seemed to stop.
Risika tried to glance at the what the reason to stop was. It was difficult to see. Then, she saw it. A little brown-haired girl with a sly grin and a small dagger.
"Lucy," she muttered in shock. Edmund and Peter glanced at her. They were in disbelief as well. Risika saw a large lion walk up beside Lucy. At first, Risika couldn't tell who this was. Was it another talking animal?
"Aslan," Caspian said. Risika glanced at her cousin. She'd heard the name before, and that's when she remembered. Aslan's How. The image of the lion in the Stone Table. Of course.
"Charge!"
Risika let out a gasp as the thousands of Telmarines charged at Aslan and Lucy. Then, a loud roar filled the air and the river began to rush almost uncontrollably. Telmarine soldiers screamed and tried to reach the shores, but not many made it. A large wave hit the bridge and lifted it from the shores of the beach. It crushed the bridge and drowned many soldiers. Risika could only watch in terror and wonder as everything happened.
Then, the Pevensies, Caspian, and Risika rushed to the other side to Lucy. Narnians confiscated weapons from the Telmarines as Risika ran to Lucy. She took the little girl's hands in her own.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
Lucy laughed and smiled widely. "Of course. I had Aslan to protect me."
Risika nodded. After everyone was sure Lucy was alright, they kneeled in front of Aslan. After all, he was the creator of Narnia.
"Rise Kings and Queens of Narnia."
Aslan's voice was deep and grand. Edmund, Peter, and Susan all rose. Risika and Caspian stayed on their knees.
"All of you," Aslan said, smiling only slightly.
Risika glanced at Caspian. He was also confused.
"I…do not think we are ready for that," he said. Aslan only smiled again.
"It's for that very reason that I know you are," he said. Risika looked to the ground again and bowed her head.
"I wish not to take such a place," she explained. "Let my cousin rule, but I can not."
"And why is that?"
Risika thought it'd be Aslan that'd ask, but it was Edmund. She looked at him.
"I must go back to Alexandria. My mother was a princess. If she disappeared, unless she had a sibling, I'm sure Alexandria has not a true ruler."
Aslan nodded before Edmund could reply.
"I understand your pain. Stay for your cousin's coronation and then I will see you off myself."
Risika nodded and smiled to the lion. Then, she took her cousin's hand and they stood together.
