Jacen was trying really hard to concentrate on the battle plans with Peter and Susan, but his mind kept wandering to the thoughts of the well being of Jaina and Anakin, particularly Anakin. Occasionally Peter or Susan would have to shake him out of his thoughts to get him focused again on what they were doing.

"Come on, Jacen. Focus on this!" Peter demanded while pointing at a map of Narnia.

"Oh, sorry. So, where are we going to station the fauns?" Jacen asked sheepishly.

Peter and Susan looked at each other with exasperation, they couldn't handle Jacen's mind drifting anymore. Susan grabbed Jacen's arm and pulled him aside to speak with her and Peter about what was going on.

"We know you're concerned about your brother and sister, and believe me we are just as concerned about Edmund and Lucy. But right now we need to concentrate on this battle plan, ok?" Peter said to Jacen.

"Sorry, Peter. It's just that I can't stop worrying about Jaina and Anakin." Jacen replied.

"Again, we know you are worried. But we really need—" Susan started to say but was cut off by the loud sound of a horn blast in the distance.

"Ani!" Jacen screamed and bolted out of the tent with Peter and Susan right behind him.

It seemed that the whole Narnian army was gathered outside as they heard the loud horn blast. Aslan was at the head of the huge group with Phillip and another horse beside him. The army drew their weapons, ready to go and fight, but Aslan stopped them by raising his gigantic paw.

"Stay, Narnia needs all of you. I will go with my companions here, and bring back the Son of Adam." Aslan replied.

With that, Aslan let out a mighty roar and took off running with his two horse companions, with the whole Narnian army cheering him on.

"Thank the maker Ani and Jaina are coming back." Jacen whispered to himself as he watched Aslan disappear into the forest with the horses.

"Thank Aslan everything is going to be allright now." Susan said to Peter, who smiled warmly at his sister to indicate that he agreed with her.

At the palace of the white witch

Anakin grinned at the group as he lowered his horn from his lips. He was just as ready as everyone else to go after Jadis and rid Narnia of her once and for all.

"Are you all with me?" he asked Jaina, Edmund, Lucy, and Mr. Tumnus.

"We're with you all the way, my friend." Mr. Tumnus replied and everyone else nodded in agreement.

Their attention was diverted to the sound of a loud lion's roar. Everyone's faces lit up as they saw Aslan running full force towards the witch's palace, with his two horse companions right beside him.

"Aslan!" Lucy squealed and ran right up to the huge lion, burying her face into his shaggy mane.

"It is good to see you, Queen Lucy." Aslan chuckled as Lucy continued to hug him around his neck.

The others were also delighted to see Aslan as they ran up to the lion to greet him. Edmund and Lucy were also delighted to see that their horses had come with Aslan as well for assistance.

"How are you, Phillip?" Edmund asked his horse, patting him on the neck.

"I'm quite allright, your highness. Thank you for asking." Phillip said.

Amongst the many greetings, Aslan looked over at Anakin and motioned for him to come forward to him. Everyone else stepped away from Aslan as Anakin walked up to the great lion, who promptly placed his huge paw on the boy's shoulder.

"Sir Anakin, it is good to see you alive." Aslan said.

"Thank you, Aslan. I'm ready to go fight now." Anakin replied.

"I know, my child. I know all of you are ready to fight the white witch. That is why we must go; I fear that the battle is very close." Aslan said.

"How bad is it?" Edmund asked.

"I do not know yet, King Edmund. But we must hurry back if we are to help our army, the time for battle is drawing near and Narnia needs you all right now." Aslan replied.

Edmund and Lucy climbed onto their respective horses, while Jaina, Anakin, and Mr. Tumnus hopped up on Aslan's back. After a warning to everyone to cover their ears, Aslan let out a mighty roar and began running as fast as he could alongside the horses back towards the camp.

At camp

Happy that their siblings would come back to the camp allright, Peter, Susan, and Jacen returned to their battle planning in Peter's tent. This time, Jacen was able to concentrate much more on what he was doing which made Peter and Susan happy as well.

"Ok then, I think if we put the centaurs here behind the fauns, then they will have a good backup when it comes time to fight." Jacen said while pointing at the map of Narnia.

"I like that idea, Jacen. Very smart." Susan said.

"Well, at least you didn't say it was logical." Peter said.

"That too, it is logical." Susan said.

Peter sneered at his sister, but Susan ignored him and continued to talk with Jacen about the battle plans. Soon, they were interrupted by a commotion that was going on outside. Curious, all three of them peeked their heads out to see a huge group of soldiers gathered around Oreius, who looked extremely concerned and was trying to get the soldiers to calm down. Peter, Susan, and Jacen immediately hurried out of the tent towards Oreius to see what was going on.

"Oreius, what's going on?" Peter asked the centaur.

"Sire, I have grave news for you. I have just learned the witch's army is approaching this camp right now as we speak." Oreius said.

"Oh no!" Susan exclaimed, looking completely horrified.

"It is true, my lady. I am afraid we have no choice but be ready to fight at a moment's notice." Oreius said.

"Thank you, Oreius." Peter said. He then turned to Jacen and said "It is time, Jacen. You must now lead us into battle."

"But what about the others?" Jacen asked.

"They will help us when they come back, but for now we must do without them." Peter said.

"Very well, Peter." Jacen said, then turned to the army outside and asked them "Are you with me?"

The army cheered loudly to indicate that they were with him all the way. Jacen grinned at Peter and Susan, then turned to the army and said "Very well, let's get ready to fight. And may the Force be with us!"

(A/N: So sorry for the crappiness of this chapter. I really tried to think of what I wanted to put in this chapter, plus I was desperate to get it out before my spring break. Only a few more chapters left before this story is finished, then I can start work on the sequel. Again, I apologize for this chapter being so crappy.)
