Hi! I decided to be nice and get this up. This chapter was originally longer, but I decided to cut it as it'll give me a starting point for the next chapter that I'll be working on during the March break. Nothing will be coming on, I'll promise you that as I'm staying with my aunt and she doesn't have internet at her house. So, it's way before April an this is up. I couldn't stop writing this! Plus, I'm off sick today so it's a good excuse to get this up today :) Thank you all for the reviews! Sorry if this is short. I hope you like it.

Harry and Lucy raced through the forest after getting through the thicket of the trees and bushes and were far enough away from the telmarines to start running.

"Come on, come on," Lucy kept chanting under her breath as she urged the horse on. Harry silently agreed with her and also did the chanting in his head, hoping to get through the day. If they did make it…Harry made himself a promise that he would try his hardest to fulfill.

They rode for what only felt like a few minutes when Harry heard more horses. Looking up on the small ridge, he cursed. Telmarines. Lucy looked over too.

"They've seen us!" Lucy nearly turned around in the saddle to look at Harry while still guiding the horse.

"You're not getting off this horse!"

"I wasn't going to!" Harry inched back on the horse while still holding onto Lucy and got a better grip on the horse. Taking his bow off his back, Harry did something he's never done before with his weapon: hit a moving target while on a horse. It sounds easy, but Edmund admitted that it took Susan a month to be able to do it, and not without injuries from falling off a lot. Harry had an advantage with having Lucy direct the horse.

"Lucy, slow the horse down slightly so I don't get thrown off and don't take sharp turns!"

"Fine!" She threw back as she raced on. It took a couple tries to figure out the best way to shoot but once they got to a small clearing, Harry started picking targets and taking them down, one by one. He was getting a good rhythm when an arrow came out of no where and knocked Harry off the horse.

"Harry!" Lucy screamed as the horse rode on. Harry grabbed the arrow that lodged itself into the vest and groaned in pain. He put the only protection spell he knew on his vest that he found in an old book while looking up charms for the third task. The spell doesn't actually stop the penetration of the arrow, it just lessens the blow and slows the arrow down, which has the arrow not going in far so Harry was able to pull it out, but was grimacing at the pain.

He saw a telmarine tower over him from the glint of the armour so he took out his dagger but the telmarine grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard enough to make Harry drop the dagger. He looked up and saw the man get a glint in his eye that made Harry slightly scared. As the man brought his sword up, his eyes bugged out slightly and dropped his sword. His arm went around his back and pulled out a now bloody dagger. 'Lucy's dagger,' Harry thought. He rolled away after the telmarine let go of his wrist and grabbed the dagger and threw it at the man's chest. Looking up, Harry saw more telmarines coming. He felt hands grab him and was pulling him up.

"Come on Harry!" Harry just obeyed and shook his head and his brain finally registered that it was Lucy. He summoned his weapons and Lucy's dagger as they ran to the horse. Looking behind, Harry saw more telmarines coming.

"Run!" Harry saw the black horse tied to a tree with Lucy running ahead to untie the horse. Harry gave Lucy a quick leg up onto the horse before vaulting on after her.

"Go!" Harry yelled after drawing his bow again and took down another solider. Feeling that it's taking too long, Harry put his bow back and took out his wand.

"Stupefy!" The solider saw red, then black. Harry grinned to himself at his success when Lucy looked around and didn't see anyone else. Sighing a breath of relief, they both missed one telmarine coming from the other side of the trees, coming up fast.

The horse felt him and ran faster which confused the two riders. She kept running until she saw a huge lion standing in front of her.

Lucy looked forward just in time for the horse to rear both her and Harry off. Lucy screamed from the fall, thinking the horse would fall on her when she landed on Harry, after hearing and feeling the wind get knocked out of him.

"Harry!" Harry shook his head as Lucy whipped her head around and saw a lion jump over them and tackled the telmarine that followed him, and the one that was coming up right behind him. He tackled them off their horses and rolled off his back and looked to the two people staring at him. He just smiled with them looking at each other and smiling back.

Peter and Edmund watched as the Lords were getting everyone into position with the men on horseback getting ready to charge. Peter turned to Edmund.

"Tell Caspian that the sound of the horn, count to ten then start demolishing the pillars." Edmund nodded and ran to Caspian who was on a horse, ready to leave at a moments notice. Edmund came jogging back.

"Ready?" His brother nodded. Peter looked up and saw Susan with the other archers, ready to start the barrage of arrows.

"Do you think they're ok?" Edmund asked Peter. Peter looked at him.

"I hope so." Edmund just nodded.

"I hope so too." They watched as they heard the blast of a horn and a shout, the cavalry charged at them. As the horses got closer, Susan shouted, "archers to the ready!" They all strung their arrows and pulled back the string. Peter looked behind him and nodded at Caspian, who immediately took his horse and went back into the How with a centaur beside him.

"Narnians, charge!" He took a torch from the bracket and led the way as the others followed him through the tunnel. When the horn sounded seconds later, both Peter and Caspian started counting to ten, with the cavalry getting closer every passing second. Susan was mentally counting as she suddenly shouted, "take your aim!"

"Stay with them!" Trumpkin shouted for the younger archers. Everyone got ready to loosen the arrow at a moments notice. When Peter got to nine, he shouted, "get ready!" Edmund had his sword out with Peter as they watched the incoming charge.

As Caspian shouted "now!" everyone started smashing the pillars with the ground above them starting to collapse, making a pit that the first few lines of telmarines fell through with the other horses reeling backwards to not fall in.

"Now!" Susan's command was followed with a barrage of arrows that were raining down on the men in the pit. Caspian kept going past them to one of the two trap doors that would circle around them, trapping them. When the arrows stopped, Peter then said the command that everyone thought 'this was it.'

"Charge!" All the Narnians started running with Peter and Edmund in the lead. Caspian dropped his torch as he came to ground level. The cavalry was surrounded with Narnians. Peter went immediately after the telmarines and started slicing, striking, blocking, anything he could think of, to take out the telmarines.

Edmund was holding a crossbow and took a couple shots at the telmarines before jumping off and into the fray.

Caspian was on his horse, taking out any swordsmen he could find.

Trufflehunter launched himself at ones face. Peter looked around to see what was going on and kept fighting. As they fought on, the Lords led the rest of the troops. Some griffins had dwarves in their clutches while they were picking targets out while others had boulders in their talons, ready to drop on the troops.

What no one noticed, was crossbows that took three men to operate, designed to take out any large bird creature. As one of the griffins fell from the sky, Caspian looked and saw the soldiers coming. Peter looked up at Susan who saw everything.

"Lucy?" She shook her head and Peter was getting really worried. The two should've found him by now! He couldn't contemplate the thought of either of them getting hurt or killed. Susan now was shouting instructions that had arrows aimed at the telmarine troops.

"Now I really wish Harry was here. We could use a little help." Edmund looked at Peter.

"He's with Lucy, getting to Aslan as quick as he can. Where are those vials he gave you?"

"They're taking out that catapult." As soon as he said that, a small boom in the distance made the three boys look up and see black smoke rising from the trees.

"Well, I'll be damned," Edmund said.

"Reepicheep and Chatters should be coming back anytime then." As the infantry got closer, Susan came down to ground level and looked at her brothers and Caspian.

"Ready?" She asked. Peter looked ahead.

"For Narnia!" And with that, they charged with the rest of the Narnians behind them.

Harry and Lucy stared at Aslan with Lucy grinning and running over to Aslan. Harry just hung back slightly.

"I knew it was you! The whole time! But Peter and Susan didn't believe me."

"But that didn't stop you from trying to find me now did it?" Aslan said. Lucy looked down.

"Harry persuaded me to come, to make my own choice."

"And you did young one." Lucy's smile turned into a slight frown.

"Why didn't you come and help us? By coming in and roaring in like last time?" Aslan looked over Lucy and at Harry.

"Things never happen the same way twice." Lucy twisted around at Harry.

"Are you sure you're not channeling Aslan at all?" Harry cracked a grin.

"I'm pretty sure seeing as I'm not a lion."

"Are you better now Harry?" Harry smiled.

"Yes Aslan, I feel much better, although having a small nap would be nice right now." Aslan chuckled.

"You'll feel better when this is all over, trust me." Lucy looked up at Aslan.

"If we had come earlier, would everyone have died?" Aslan looked into her eyes.

"We, can never know Lucy. Although, Harry has prevented quite a number of deaths by being here and has helped out in a tremendous way by helping Caspian and Peter in different ways. And you."

"Me?" Lucy asked.

"How?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

"Aslan," Harry suddenly said.

"You never did tell me about the mist." Aslan looked straight into Harry's eyes. Harry could see a thousand years worth of emotions in the lion's eyes.

"When this is done, I will tell you. I will not be like your headmaster and withhold information from you that you need. Or lie to you." Harry bowed his head slightly.

"Thank you." Harry was pleased that he was going to be getting some answers now. He caught the tail end of the conversation of Lucy and Aslan.

"…then my mind became clear! Ninibrik admitted to doing something, although I don't know what he did and I've hurt Harry in one of the worst ways possible. He may have forgiven me but I doubt he'll forget." Aslan was silent for a minute.

"He used a mind magic that the black dwarves have been able to use since the start of Narnia Lucy. The only way that you could've gotten out of its hold is having either me or the White Witch destroy it. It takes powerful magic to destroy it without it fulfilling its purpose. You can stop eavesdropping son of Adam." Harry flushed in embarrassment as he came over. Lucy looked away ashamed.

"I heard from Edmund how devastated you were when I didn't come back. I don't blame you Lucy, especially if what Aslan said is true. We both have tempers, I'll admit it, but if you're not in control, then it's not you I blame." Lucy looked at him with a sense of relief and another emotion Harry wasn't familiar with. Aslan chuckled at Lucy's antics, knowing what she wants to do.

"Now, I think your friends have slept long enough," Aslan said as he got up.

"Now you can see some of the real Narnia," Lucy whispered as Aslan roared into the wind with leaves rustling everywhere.

"Now come, we don't have much time to make it to the river. Climb on my back, it'll be quicker."

"But what about Caspian's horse?" Lucy asked.

"She'll find her way, don't worry." Lucy and Harry looked at each other and shrugged as they climbed on Aslan's back, with Harry in front.

Caspian was starting to get tired as he took down another solider and flung a small arrow head at a telmarine's throat. Edmund panted as he took another down and Susan was shooting arrows around her and whacking other soldiers with her bow before loosening another arrow. Peter was thankful that most of the army was already being fought but there was still about another thousand fresh soldiers coming in. He saw Reepicheep go through between the soldiers to start cutting them down there.

Caspian fell backwards into the pit where he saw Lord Glozelle attack him from the side. Caspian ducked but got kicked and knocked down. He stared down the axe like spear in fear as Glozelle lowered it slightly, leaving Caspian confused. Creaking all around made Caspian look around and he wasn't the only one. All the Narnians looked around to figure out what was going on.

The Pevensies shared a secret grin, hoping that it was what they needed. Glozelle was suddenly grabbed and pulled under the ledge of grass and was whacked hard enough that he went unconscious. Caspian stood up with disbelief in his eyes. Trees were coming to life and were taking out the telmarines! And walking! Peter helped Caspian out of the crater.

"Lucy." Was all he said.

"And Harry," Caspian added. Peter just nodded as they watched the trees take their revenge on the soldiers. They ripped up the ground by shooting their roots through the close marching soldiers that tossed them into the air. The Narnians cheered as they watched their enemy get put down.

Lord Sopespian stared as the trees were getting closer and the telmarines were running towards him. The Narnians took the telmarines distraction and started fighting them with the trees causing havoc on the telmarines that were now running away.

"For Aslan!" Peter cried as the Pevensies and Caspian lead the charge against the telmarines. The Narnians started chasing them as they retreated.

"Draw them to the river!" Sopespian cried as he turned his horse around with the handful of troops that stayed with the Lords. Sopespian was their unofficial leader right now and followed his lead as the horn blew.

"After them!" Peter shouted as the Narnians chased after them. With freedom in their sights for the first time in 1400 years, they weren't going to let the cowards leave after bring hunted to near extinction.

The telmarines dashed to the river and started crossing when they suddenly stopped. A girl and a boy walked on the other shore, getting closer to the water edge. Peter and the others came right behind the telmarines and the telmarines near them turned to fight them. Sopespian glared at the boy. He was the one who destroyed all this!

He was about to shout the order to kill him when the girl pulled out her dagger to her free side with a massive lion coming beside the boy. Thinking this of no consequence, Sopespian decided on the one course of action that he could think of. Kill them.

"Charge!" The horses kicked up the water as the tried running through it. Aslan decided to humour them as they got closer to the middle with the older Pevensies getting worried that nothing was happening.

Aslan suddenly roared with the echo against the water, making everyone freeze. They could feel the water rising and couldn't understand this. Shouting suddenly started and everyone looked over. Tidal waves were coming down the river that were getting bigger and bigger as it got closer. The telmarines tried to turn back but the water was too violent. It somehow managed to isolate Sopespian when the water suddenly took on a more human form that was 50 feet tall and was launching itself towards him.

All the Narnians looked amazed at this. Edmund just grinned at the River God. He read about it when he was bored one day and always wanted to see one. His wish just came true. The god looked like an old man from the way the foam was forming around him and suddenly dived at Sopespian, picking him up with the horse. It saw his terrified face as he was tilted towards him and he started screaming.

The River God's head came crashing down around him, effectively swallowing him as he disintegrated back into the calm river he was once again. As the water calmed, no one spoke or moved. The telmarine's started dropping their weapons one by one before Peter took charge.

"All telmarine's are to cross the river and surrender their weapons to the Narnians." The Narnians cheered at all this as they were finally free once again and Aslan was there as well! Trumpkin, Asterius, Glenstorn, Orius and other Narnians had their swords out as the surrendering telmarine's dropped their swords on the growing piles.

Peter, Susan, Edmund and Caspian made their way across the river where Harry, Lucy and Aslan were standing. Susan and Peter had a guilty look on their faces. Once they all got out of the water, they dropped to their knees.

Nearly done! Just two chapters left :)
