Aslan and Issa walked through the camp ground until they found a secluded part of the camp to talk yet with a view of what was going on in the rest of the camp. "Finally all four of the Pevensie's are reunited once again and it won't be long until we go into battle." Issa quietly noted as her mind wondered back to the prophecy and it made her think of her mother. Queen Genevieve foresaw her daughter fighting alongside the two sons of Adam and the two daughters of Eve and now all five of them were together, preparing to head into battle.
"Yes, I hear from Starfire that your progressing well and based on what is aw yesterday your archery is just as good as ever."
"Starfire is too kind, I'm getting there very slowly… my body works differently form how it did before and I'm trying to adjust to the changed. It's hard but I'm going to keep working on it." Issa said with a small weary laugh, as she eyes wondered briefly to her bloody fingers. "But that isn't what you wanted to talk about Aslan. "Your worried about Edmund aren't you Aslan? You think that he has or will have revenge in mind for the white witch after all that she did to him."
"How did you know that Issa?" Aslan asked with a small chuckle.
"It wasn't too hard to figure out, given what had happened. It's a natural conclusion to get to considering the impression that Jadis leaves on people and her lack of social skills." Issa quietly replied.
"Wise words from the daughter of a very wise king, you are your father's daughter Issa. Your father was very good at picking up on what was bothering the people around him and I see you have that same ability." Aslan began. "I'm afraid that the younger Son of Adam may seek revenge on the witch after his experience with her. After everything that has happened, it would only be natural for him to want revenge"
"I wouldn't be too surprised either, I'd be a liar if I said that I hadn't thought of revenge after everything that the witch had done to me." Issa replied, making the witch pay for all the harm that she had caused Issa was very tempting but it was also a very dangerous path as taking on the witch was not for the faint hearted not to mention the witch was very powerful.
"The two of you are connected in a way that most of us can never understand as you are the only other person who could understand what Edmund is going through as you yourself have experienced something similar."
Issa sighed as she glanced over to the camp where everyone was busy working, preparing for the battle that would hopefully change their lives for the better, Aslan was right in a manner of speaking as her and Edmund were connected by the fact they had both been taken prisoner by the white witch and had lived to tell the tale because some weren't that lucky. Jadis hated humans and Edmund was one and Issa was human for the most part except for that small part on her mother's side of the family. The two of them were extremely lucky to still be alive considering Issa had seen Jadis kill in person. "You can see the damage she's done to him just by looking into his eyes, it's not obvious but when I looked into Edmund's eyes I could see it. The fear, the hurt, the terror and that's just the beginning. She changes you. Ever since I was rescued from her prison, I haven't been the same girl I was before she took over Narnia. I see things differently now, I admit that I'm more sceptical than I was before if you can imagine that. Jadis took everything from me; my family, my kingdom and myself. I guess it's fair to say that she ruined my life."
"But what makes you different is that your not attempting to gain revenge, the witch would naturally be expecting you to retaliate for what she did to you but you haven't Issa, it's very admirable and not many others would be able to do the same." Aslan noted.
"After the loss I have suffered it would be natural to want revenge but if I did take it, then it wouldn't make me any better then the white witch nor would it change what had happened to me or my family. So instead of dwelling on it, I make the best of it and I'm moving forward for myself and my people and I think that's what my father and the rest of my family would want and it helps that I've been sleeping for a hundred years." Issa quipped, her life hadn't exactly been the easiest in the last but thinking about it her life could have been worst of she had still been a captive of the white witch. That thought alone actually terrified Issa and made her blood run cold.
"That's exactly why I want you to keep an eye on Edmund, you know what he's going through so he'll need your guidance princess." Aslan solemnly replied.
Issa carefully nodded her head. "But what about Peter? The elder Son of Adam seems to be more angry than Edmund over what happened and he's as likely to go down the path of revenge as much as Edmund and if that happens he'll be useless to us in battle."
"You make a fair and valid point Issa and I'll keep an eye on Peter but from what I saw yesterday, he'll be a good leader in the upcoming battle."
"Then I'll do whatever I can to help you and Edmund." Issa replied with a small smile but there still doubts in the back of her mind. Although she couldn't see the future like mother but Issa was her mother's daughter and there was something telling her that something bad was going to happen and it involved the Pevensie boys.
