Chapter .7.
Prince Corin hits the attackers sword with his own. His double blades crashing with the blade of a young man. Much younger then Prince Corin. Well most people besides his family were younger then Prince Corin.
The attacker's blade flings into the tree. Prince Corin winced all trees were sacred in Narnia. Even though they have all gone/retreated into a deep sleep. Prince Corin sees the handle on the sword. The handle of Aslan. Another attacker comes to back up the first. Prince Corin was a master at double swords so found it easy to fight both. He drops one onto their knees. Before he could get the attacker again a voice rings out.
"Stop", a girl says who was being held back by a Dwarf
Two grownups were also being held back by a badger. And three others (Two Adults and a young boy) where cowering behind the young girl and dwarves.
"Who are you?" Prince Corin asks stopping his attack, "How did you get Rhindon?"
"You know my sword?" the young man asks startled.
Prince Corin looks at the teenager. That's when he realises who this is. His Aunt's horn most have worked! But why where they so young? They looked like children compared to his Aunt and Father. He lowers his sword.
"Stand Fast", Prince Corin says to his now gathered group of Narnians.
As they all had drawn weapons and the wolves had bared their teeth.
Prince Corin pulls Rhindon out of the tree.
"I am sorry good tree. Please heal fast and not feel pain", Prince Corin says to the tree rubbing it.
Prince Corin looks at the sword and takes in its detail. It was definable Rhindon all the stories his Father and Aunts have said about this story he would recognise it anywhere even blind folded. The lion head and the engraving.
"When Aslan bares his teeth, winter meets its death. When he shakes his mane we shall have spring again", Prince Corin reads, "Not the full quote"
"Full quote?" the girl asks.
"Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight, At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more...", Prince Corin says knowing the old prophecy by heart.
This young teen was his Uncle Peter. But he had to make sure. After all Rhindon had been hidden for centuries his Father and Aunts told him so. They wouldn't even tell him where they hide it.
"So you have found Rhindon", Prince Corin says.
"How to you know it's name?" Peter demands.
"This was a gift from Father Christmas the first time you came to Narnia. For the first Christmas in Narnia in a hundred years. This sword started the Golden Age and ended the Age of Winter. This is the most famous sword in the history of Narnia. One of the great 7 swords", Prince Corin says.
"Answer me!" Peter demands.
The Narnian's with Prince Corin were about to attack but Prince Corin gives them a look. His look held it all and the Narnian's stepped down knowing they had to obey their Crown Prince. But if these people did attack the Crown Prince they would not hold back. Not matter who they were. They were loyal to the Narnian Monarchy and its line. Of the Monarchs that stayed with them all these centauries.
"We are no threat to you. But say your names. Because I want to see if this is the truth you say. I want you to look me in the eyes so I can see the truth within you", Prince Corin says.
Peter looks at the young man there was something familiar about him. But he couldn't place it. So drawing himself to full height he was about the same level as the man.
"I am High King Peter the Magnificent, Emperor of the Lone Islands, Lord of Cair Paravel, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Lion and known as Sir Peter Wolfsbane. This is my sister Queen Lucy the Valiant, Lady of Cair Paravel. These are our parents Helen and John Pevensie and other family Uncle Harold, Aunt Alberta and Cousin Eustace", Peter says standing straighter.
Prince Corin could sense the truth in what Peter said. Now it was the other human's turn.
"And who are you Telmarine?" Prince Corin asks circling Caspian with his blade.
"I am Crown Prince Caspian the Tenth", Caspian replies trying to look brave at the skilled man.
Prince Corin could see the truth in them. This was the teen that was meant to save his race and bring them together. And these were his Uncle and Aunt that were much younger then he was. How was that going to work out? Especially with his other Aunts and Parents?
"Then I must say welcome back to Narnia King Peter and Queen Lucy. Welcome too Narnia the rest of you. I think it is time for us to be on our way", Prince Corin says sheathing his swords, "Dav go and inform the How", Corin orders a cheetah too
The Cheetah bows and dashes off into the woods.
"Take Rhindon and use it to help the heart of Narnia to another glorious Golden Age", Prince Corin says handing the sword back to his Uncle.
"Who are you?" Lucy asks.
Prince Corin smiles at her, "I am someone who can take you to where all the Narnian's are. Why don't you introduce me to the brave mice, a brave badger and brave dwarves you have with you"
"I am Sir Reepicheep", Reepicheep says.
"I am Trumpkin", Trumpkin says.
"I am Trufflehunter", Trufflehunter says.
"I am Nikabrik", Nikabrik grumbles.
Prince Corin frowns at Nikabrik because something didn't feel right about this dwarf.
"Pleasure to meet you", Prince Corin replies.
"Who are you?" Peter asks.
"I am Crown Prince Corin", Prince Corin says with a bow of respect before he starts walking.
The rest follow.
"Crown Prince? Of were?" Trufflehunter asks.
Prince Corin smiles, "Of Narnia of course. I am Crown Prince Corin the Soul Seeing, Bear Prince, Lord of Aslan's How and Knight of the Order of the Lion!"
"But the Narnian Monarchy has been extinct for hundreds of years", Prince Caspian says.
"That is what we have allowed Telmarine's to think. We have always had a Monarchy and I am the son of one of the rulers of Narnia. The Monarchy is the deepest keep secret even here in the woods of Narnia", Prince Corin explains.
"Why your Highness?" Trufflehunter asks curious as to why all of Narnia didn't know.
"Because if the people who are not protected in the woods get caught by Telmarine's we don't want the Monarchy being known to them. But the time is coming and war is brewing and all secrets must end eventually", Prince Corin replies.
"Where are we going?" Lucy asks.
"We are going to Aslan's How that is where all the Narnian's have been hiding for centuries. The How has a city of Narnian's underneath it in tunnels. The outside are protected by wards put up by the light witches", Prince Corin replies.
"Light witches?" John asks.
Peter and Lucy look at Prince Corin sceptically.
"Yes. They are the good witches of Narnia. There are surprisingly many of them. All Narnian's would be safe inside the borders of the How. When some of us go out recruiting new Narnian's for our Army we also offer them and their families safety from Telmarine's. By the way this is General Glenstorm a direct descendant of the Great, Powerful and Loyal General Oreius", Prince Corin says introducing his General.
Glenstorm smiles at being introduced properly to the ancient royals.
"Why are Minotaur's and Wolves with you?" Peter asks.
"They are on Narnian's side have been for hundreds of years. They serve as protectors of the royal family. The Wolves act as scouts and spies", Prince Corin answers, "Most of the descendants of the Cair Paravel golden age warriors, the families of those who fought and died with honour their descendants are head warriors now in this generation"
"Can I and my comrades be part of your army your Highness?" Reepicheep asks bowing eagerly at the Crown Prince
"Of course. We are always looking for more Narnian's and you all look noble to me. Maybe my Father will knight you or my Aunts", Prince Corin says.
"Aunts?" Helen asks
"Who is your Father?" Peter asks
To Peter AND Lucy there was something familiar about Prince Corin.
"Yes. That is all I will say for now. So who are you?" Prince Corin asks the five Humans.
"These are our Aunt Alberta, Uncle Harold and Cousin Eustace", Lucy replies.
"I am Helen Pevensie and this is my husband John Pevensie. We are Peter and Lucy's parents", Helen replies.
"Do you have any more children?" Prince Corin asks knowing they did.
"Yes Susan and Edmund", John replies.
"Where are they?" Prince Corin asks.
"They died here in Narnia. Lucy and I went through a portal back to our homeland. This time we come we find out it has been 1300 years! There is no way Susan and Edmund could survive this long", Peter says with regret.
"You never know what is Lord Aslan's will", Prince Corin says.
"Aslan took us away from them! Away from my Sister and Brother! He separated us. He separated me from my wife Sarah who would also be dead by now", Peter says angrily.
Prince Corin could sense his Uncles anger and hoped his young Uncle will let it go or not let it interfere with this war.
"Aslan always has a plan. You must have faith in the Golden Lion, that is what BOTH my Aunts say", Prince Corin says.
"I saw Aslan on this trip", Lucy says.
"Really?" Prince Corin asks surprised.
After all his Aunt Sarah had gone to find him. Hopefully she had found him. Prince Corin knew Aslan always had a plan. His Aunt Susan always says to have faith in Aslan and Aslan always has a plan.
"Yes he showed us how to cross the gorge. I will always have faith in him", Lucy says.
Prince Corin looks at Lucy's eyes they were filled with faith and trust for Aslan. Good that was how it should be.
"I hope I can meet this Aslan. I have heard much about him", Caspian says.
"Really? Someone tell you stories?" Prince Corin asks.
"My old Professor did. He is half-dwarf. I am afraid I will never see him again. He has been a great friend and mentor", Caspian says.
"May Aslan protect your mentor. I am sure he is well. Aslan protects all. Now we have arrived at the borders of the How", Prince Corin says stopping.
"We can't see anything", Lucy says.
Prince Corin smiles and snaps his fingers twice and the shield around the How disappears to cover the new comers. The newcomers see a mountain that look ancient. There were men and women fighting on horses. Centaurs practising fighting with Minotaur's and Fauns. Archers of Dwarves, Fauns and other practicing at the side.
Some stop when they see the newcomers. Whispers start as Narnian's see the King and Queen of Old walking with their Crown Prince Corin. Prince Corin has his head held high nods his head at all of his subjects answering their questions with his eyes.
The Centaurs all raise their swords in respect for their Prince and slightly for the King and Queen of Old.
"Follow me", Prince Corin says walking under the swords that were being held up.
They walk down to the underground. Two women and a group of soldiers were waiting for them.
"My High Queen and Mother. I present to you King Peter, Queen Lucy and their parents John and Helen Pevensie and other family their Uncle Harold, Aunt Alberta and their Cousin Eustace", Prince Corin says bowing before the High Queen of Narnia.
"Rise my Nephew and let me look at those I haven't seen in so many, many centuries", the woman says.
Prince Corin moves to the side so his Aunt could see those she had longed to see. The woman steps forward into the light and they see her purple/grey Narnian dress. A quiver of arrows on her back. The arrows had red on the end. A bow was also on her back. Long silky black locks were platted at the back and into the gold crown that rested on her head. That looked like it was made of leaves. But those eyes Peter, Lucy, Helen and John knew those blue eyes even though they looked older and wiser.
"Susan?" they asks.
"It seems my horn worked. And your ALL have arrived here safely. Praise Aslan the Golden Lion!" High Queen Susan says smiling.
"Praise Aslan the Golden Lion!" the people around her say.
"SU!" Lucy cries.
"Susan!" Peter, Helen and John cry.
"Welcome back to Narnia! My beloved family"
