"Alright . . . does everyone know the plan?" I asked.

I admit it, I was scared.

"Yes . . . but the real question is, did you get a good night sleep?" Ed asked.

"Yes actually I did." I lied.

Meagan looked at me along with Ed. I took a deep breath.

"Well . . . kind of . . . "

Susan crossed her arms, imitating mother . . .

"Alright! I didn't get much, but I was worried . . . "

"No . . . you were thinking about Rachel . . ." Meagan said.

"I was . . . I admit it, alright? Can you all just please cut me some slack and think positively . . . please?" I asked.

Lucy stepped forward and hugged me, and stepped back with a smile.

"We are with you, Peter."

"Is everyone ready?" I asked.

"Oh yeah. I'm so ready." Edmund said sarcastically.

"Ed . . . please."

"Okay . . . so Lucy and I will sneak into the cave while you three have Seifer occupied . . . right?" Meagan asked.

"Yes."

"What if there is someone guarding Rachel?" Meagan asked.

"Well . . . then . . . take him out." I replied.

"Easy enough." Lucy said grinning evilly.

"Remember, you two stay here until you hear swords clashing and stuff. Then make sure the coast is clear." Edmund said.

"Okay . . . . wish me luck." I said while taking in deep breaths.

"Good luck." Lucy whispered.

"Thanks."

I walked out from behind the bushes and saw a lot of dwarves, with a man standing in front of them. There must have been about 130 of them, all with bow and arrows.

"Hello, King Peter, I am Seifer in human morph. I heard that you were on your way to get you Flower back, so I thought I would surprise you with a small army."

Edmund quickly unleashed his sword as Susan brought out her bow along with an arrow. I took Rhindon out of its sheath. I slowly walked towards Seifer as he made his way towards me. He hacked his sword down on me, but I blocked. I gave him a few rights and lefts, but he blocked as well as I did. He swung his sword at me from the left. I bent back to void it. Our swords connected and as they did, I twisted my wrist around as Oreius had taught me, to try and steal Seifer's sword, but it didn't work. He brought his sword down but I blocked with my shield, but he somehow managed to hit my wrist. I felt horrible pain, and my arm was growing weak. I was blocking right. Seifer shoved me to the ground. I landed on my knees and dropped my sword. I grabbed it and saw his sword coming down onto my head . . .
