Issa woke up to the most devastating news she could ever expect to hear; Aslan was dead. Killed on the stone table by the white witch. The news was sent by way of the trees by Susan and Lucy, Issa was then woken up by Peter who broke the news to her. But as devastating as the news was they had to go on, dawn was approaching and the white witch was making her way towards them. Peter was to lead them into battle at Fort Beruna and soon they were about to leave to go to battle. As Issa was going to lead her fellow archers in the place of Susan they were about to leave to go their separate was as her and the other archers needed to get to high ground.

"Ready?" Peter wearily asked Issa.

"As I'll ever be… Peter be careful won't you? You seem to have developed a knack for finding trouble and I'm not sure whether I'll be able to protect as much as I like from my battle position. I know this is a rather silly thing to ask since we are going into battle soon but please be safe." Issa replied as placed a hand on her stomach in an effort to see the hundreds of butterflies that were fluttering in her stomach and making her feel incredibly more nervous.

"I'll try…"

Issa and Peter both quietly chuckled at this, they both knew it wasn't something to laugh about but it made them both feel slightly better and at ease. "We're all with you here, until the end…"

"That doesn't make the pressure any less easier Issa."

"Good because going into battle overly confident makes one a fool and you for one are not a fool Peter." Issa quietly replied before turning her attention to Sarabi who was having to listen to the conversation from the ground as both Issa and Peter were both on horses. "Sarabi, I need you to stay by Peter's side and protect him as you would me."

"As you wish princess…" Sarabi replied with a small bow of her head.

Minutes later both Peter and Issa went separate ways with Peter going to the front line with the majority of the army and Issa going with Edmund, the beavers and most of the centauress to ground that would overlook the entire battle. They stood and watched as the witch's army began approaching and it was clear that her numbers clearly outnumbered their own. "Wow… That's a lot." Edmund began.

"I suppose so but then again the witch may have larger numbers than us but I doubt she even has an ounce of the courage and determination that we have. Just because we may be outnumbered does not mean that the witch will defeat us. We won't let her win again." Issa stated sounding more determined than she actually felt like but she's suppress that because she couldn't be weak like she was before, people were depending on her, Narnia was depending on her.

Trumpets soon went off and the witch's army began their descent and Issa watched as their army stood silent and still waiting, moments Peter pointed his sword forward and the attacks soon came from the sky. Gryphon's began attacking the witch's army by dropping large rocks over them, effectively squashing and killing some of their opponents. Issa watched helplessly as some of the Gryphon's soon started being shot down from the arches in the witch's army and she just felt powerless but she and the others all had to wait for Peter's signal.

"FOR NARNIA, AND FOR ASLAN!" Peter yelled and then the charge began and from her view point Issa watched as all creatures of sizes began running to take on the witch and Issa pulled out a arrow from her quiver and lined it up with her bow waiting to strike. Seconds later the first sound of sounds clanging and making contact with each other was heard all around and Issa closed her eyes momentarily to clear her mind of all this, she needed to focus on the task at hand.

"FIRE!" Edmund called and of the centauress fired a flaming arrow which then burst and turned into a flaming phoenix which swooped down and created a ring of fire around the army to momentarily force the witch's army back. Until she used her wand to extinguish the fire.

"Fall back! Draw them to the rocks!" Peter cried and soon enough the rest of the army followed his lead.

"That's the signal! Get ready!" Mr. Beaver stated and seconds later he and Edmund left to join the rest of the army as they did Issa looked back at Edmund, giving him a small smile before turning her attention to the battle at hand.

"Ready?" Issa asked knowing full well that the rest of the archers could hear her as she pulled back on her string ready to fire. Eying up a target Issa looked down from where Edmund had moved to and gave him a nod to signal that she and the rest of the arches were ready and nodding in agreement Edmund struck down his sword and Issa lined up a shot and fired. Taking out another arrow Issa continued to keep shooting wherever she saw fit, be it left, right and centre because it was complete chaos. One person from their army was fighting against three from the witches' army. But Issa didn't let this distract her, she had to focus because the people of narnia had been waiting so long for this that they could fail.

Focusing on the battle Issa didn't see it until it was too late, she didn't see Edmund go after the witch until the last second and even then all she saw was the witch stab him with her wand and him fall to the ground. And all Issa could do with choke out a sob.

"EDMUND! Peter cried out and in that moment the entire battlefield briefly fell silent until Peter charged at the witch and the two of them began to engage each other in fierce sword fight. Guided by her rage and sorrow Issa began moving quicker than she ever thought was possible, pulling numerous arrows out of her quiver and shooting as fast as she could on instinct rather than thinking it all through. Until there was a thunderous roar and looking away from the battle Issa saw that it was Aslan.

"How can it be…" Issa quietly murmured in disbelief, Aslan was supposed to be dead but apparently not as here he was with Susan and Lucy not to mention even more reinforcement and they all came rushing into the battle They all kept fighting until suddenly it was no more, there was just silence. Lowering her bow Issa didn't know what to do until she saw Aslan just standing there and he gave her a look that told her everything. It was over, it was finally over. After all this time the nightmare that had plagued Issa was once and for all over.
