Chapter One

FLASHBACK

"Oreius." the centaur turned his head and bowed.

"My lord," he greeted the Great Lion.

"Minotaur scouts have been sent. Mauvis, you, and two other centaurs are to attack." Oreius nodded and galloped towards his tutor.The four soon found the small band of scouts.

Oreius drew his swords and attacked one of the beasts. Behind him, the other three centaurs were also battling the scouts. The young centaur slashed down the back of one of the couts when he heard the shout. He turned his head and saw a Minotaur coming after him.

Suddenly, Mauvis leapt in front of Oreius, shielding him from the oncoming Minotaur. The sword struck where the Minotaur had planned, just above the heart. Oreius gave a cry of rage and struck his tutor's attacker. Mauvis lay on the forest floor, bleeding from the wound.

"You won't die." Oreius said stubbornly, turning to him, I will save you, and you will live"

"Oreius." Mauvis said gently but sternly. His student silenced. "I want you to remember something. War can be ugly thing. Each battle seems to make one wiser. The innocence one held long ago will leave ones eyes. And in times of war you may think, I will surely die,' or This army will surely take over ours.' You must have faith. Numbers do not win a battle. Strength plays a hand in it. Faith plays an even bigger part. That is your last lesson."

END FLASHBACK

I held one of my swords up to eye level. It was beautiful, inscripted with runes, and gleamed in the sunlight. I swung it in an arc, then flipped it over a few times and smiled. Indeed a faithful sword!

I practiced a while with another centaur, and then returned to a tent for my other sword. I exited the tent when I saw Aslan bounding for the trees.

"Come along, Oreius!" he called. I followed him, unshealding my swords. We came near the river. Aslan had one wolf under his great paws.

"Stay your weapons-this is Peter's battle." Aslan told me, and I obeyed, staying back and watching the Son of Adam face against Maugrim. My mouth twisted in hatred for the wolf as I listened to him taunt the young Son of Adam.

"You may think you're king. But you're going to die..." Maugrim pounced.

I caught my breath and heard the two Daughters of Eve cry out. Maugrim was pushed away and the girls hugged their brother. I could not help but smile.

Aslan lifted his paw and the wolf whimpered and ran. "Follow him. He will lead you to Edmund. I nodded and chased the wolf.

As Aslan said, we came to Jadis' camp. I quickly scouted the Son of Adam, spotting him with my keen eyes. I trotted over and untied him.

"Come along Son of Adam, I said urgently. He stood, but grabbed a dwarf and tied him in his place, sticking a knife in his hat. I laughed quietly and helped him onto my back, returning to our own encampment.
