Chapter Three: Enter DLF

…..Lucy's POV…..

"The Sages have been called,

To deliver a message.

A strange world needs help,

To send the hero for help.

Light to send him with courage,

Forest to send him with peace,

Fire to send him with strength,

Water to send him with intelligence,

Shadow to send him with open-mindedness,

And Spirit to send him with perseverance.

Long live Aslan!"

Link scratched the poem into the sand so that we could all read it.

"So," Susan started, kneeling to get a better look at the words, "to recap it all…you came across ruins and this poem was in the middle of the ruins. After you read it these Sages sent you here but in doing so you felt enormous pain. Well I think it is safe to say that you are the hero mentioned and the pain was just a way of delivering their gifts."

Edmund shook his head as if he disagreed with something, "Susan, we don't know if they were really the Sages. They could have been people impersonating the Sages. It could have been a trap."

"No Ed, they were the Sages, how else could they have sent him here. Narnia is the 'strange world' that Link needed to be sent to to help." Susan said shaking her head.

"You are forgetting something that helps Susan's theory Edmund," I said.

"And what's that Lu?"

"Link said that each sage had an orb floating in front of them and that each orb was a different color according to which Sage held it. Each Sage had their own color according to what they are Sage of," Pointing to each of the Sage's in order, I continued, "Light would be yellow, Forest would be green, Fire would be red, Water would be blue, Shadow would be purple, and Spirit would be orange."

This time it was Peter who shook his head, "You can't tell who people are based on color Lu."

"I can and besides…who in Link's world would have the power to send him here other than the Sages?"

"She's right." Susan said, "Is that good enough for you Ed?"

Surprisingly Edmund said nothing but Link answered.

"You all seem to have forgotten a few things. First Zelda could have sent me here easily although she wasn't anywhere to be seen. And Second: We don't have any Sages in Hyrule or Skyloft."

"Could they have come from the future?" Peter asked.

"I don't think so Peter. Time travel is impossible." Susan said.

Edmund jumped in, I could tell that he wanted to point out the obvious to his know-it-all sister, "After all the time we have spent here you still don't believe in magic Su? I am shocked!"

"Oh shut up." was Susan's reply.

Sighing, I turned away from them and left Link and Peter to stop the upcoming fight. Looking out over the ocean I couldn't see much, mostly blue, but I could see a little of some islands farther out in front of the much bigger land of Narnia. I could also see a boat. A boat?! What in the world was a boat doing out there? I could see two people in it. They were not looking at us but they were busy with something on their boat. They stood up and that was when I got a VERY good idea of what they were doing.

"SUSAN! STOP THEM!" I yelled and pointed towards the boat where the two people were about to throw the third person overboard.

Susan looked up, saw them and shot in less than 10 seconds. The arrow just barely missed the first person by an inch but Susan already had another arrow knocked and yelled "DROP HIM!" before she shot the second arrow. The arrow arrived a second too late. It slammed into the chest of the first person right after they let the third go into the ocean. That was when Link, Peter, and Edmund went into action. Stopping for less than a minute to drop their swords Peter looked at Edmund and Link.

"Edmund go after the boat. We can use it to get off this island. Link go after whoever they tossed into the ocean. I will go get the second person that Susan didn't shoot."

I waited impatiently on the beach with Susan waiting for them to get back. Finally Edmund and Peter came back with a person tied up in the boat. It wasn't someone we recognized.

"He's a Telmarine soldier. He and his friend were drowning a dwarf. That's all we know." Edmund said before me or Susan could ask.

"Where's Link?" I asked not seeing him insight.

"We don't know. He went after the dwarf they tried to drown." Peter said.

"I hope he's all right." I said and continued looking out over the ocean.

"He's dead by now! Him and the Dwarf! No one can be underwater that long and live!" The Telmarine said before he laughed. Suddenly his laugh was cut short as he slumped into unconsciousness; Link stood above him, a look of distaste on his face.

He put his sword back in his sheath before saying, "So if I'm dead how is it that I can hit you with a sword?"

"Link!" I yelled and before I knew what I was doing, I ran to him and gave him a bear hug.

Link staggered, not expecting a bear hug.

"You're ok!" I yelled and let go of him.

"Yes, why wouldn't I be?" He asked puzzled.

"You were underwater for a long time. How did you survive?" Susan asked.

Link laughed before answering, "I have a water dragon's scale. It lets me breath under water. I used it to help me and the dwarf. While it was protecting both of us we had just enough air to get here."

We suddenly heard a noise from behind Link that sounded like an angry grunt. We looked down at the ground and saw the dwarf on the ground, tied up and with a gag in his mouth. As I knelt down next to him to release him from the ropes that held him I was able to get a closer look at him. He had long blond hair with a receding hair line with a long beard to match and was wearing simple clothes similar to the ones that Peter and Edmund had changed into earlier.

As the ropes fell away he stood up and glared angrily at Susan before yelling: "DROP HIM?! Those Telmarines were drowning me fine without your help!"

"Maybe you should have let them," Edmund said under his breath before Susan spoke up.

"A simple thank you would suffice but you have a right to be angry so I will forgive you of your lapse of manners…this time." The threat was clear in her voice and I couldn't help but giggle as I realized that Susan had gained back the authority of when she was Queen.

Susan shot me a look before asking, "So why were they trying to drown you?"

"They're Telmarines, it's what they do." was all he said in reply.

"Yes we know that much," Peter said with a lot of annoyance in his voice, "but why are they in Narnia."

"Maybe they decided that since our Kings and Queens left it was easy pickings for them." the Dwarf said, his voice dripping in sarcasm.

"Might be careful what you say, considering who you are talking to…" Link muttered out of the side of his mouth.

I could see the question forming in the Dwarfs face before understanding dawned on him and he turned to face Peter.

"Crows and Crockery!"

"High King Peter," Peter said extending his hand towards the Dwarf.

"The Magnificent…" the Dwarf echoed, not taking his hand.

"Probably could have left off the last bit…" Susan muttered.

"Probably." I agreed before laughing a little.

Peter shot me a look before turning back to the dwarf, "You might be surprised." He said before drawing his sword.

"You don't want to do that boy." the Dwarf said.

"Not me, him." Peter said handing the Dwarf his sword and looking towards Edmund.

With that Peter, Susan, Link, and I got out of the way and the Battle began.

I could tell that the Dwarf thought all the odds were stacked in his favor. He handed the sword with immense ease, as if he knew a lot about sword play and he probably did, having to hide from Telmarine soldiers all his life. Also, in a close combat battle like this, you had to get to your opponent's legs (because you can't put too much armor on them without the weighing you down) so that you could knock him over and then go for the killing blow on their neck while they were on the ground and that would work with the dwarf because he was shorter…but he had never seen Edmund in battle and I had.

After Aslan had saved him from the White Witch Edmund had spent every minute he could practicing his sword play. Even after the war ended he practiced for hours every day and had become very, very talented.

The Battle started when the Dwarf lunged at Edmund who easily parried it with his own blade. Then the Dwarf swung again at his leg and Edmund blocked it again. Then Edmund feinted to the Dwarf's left and as he tried to block it, swung his sword at the Dwarf's right leg. The Dwarf somehow realized that Edmund had feinted earlier than the usual opponent would have and blocked his sword…but Edmund had a trick up his sleeve. When their swords clashed Edmund started to move his sword quickly in a circle, surprising the Dwarf who lost his sword while Edmund did this. After he lost his grip on the sword Edmund quickly spun his sword over his head to lose the Dwarf's sword and brought his sword down until it stopped an inch from the Dwarf's neck.

"Beards and Bedsteads! You sure have met your match this time Trumpkin!" the Dwarf said.

"Trumpkin?" I asked, puzzled.

The Dwarf nodded, not moving his eyes from Edmunds sword which hadn't moved at all, "That's my name."

"Nice to meet you, now that you have time for introductions," Susan said, "This is Link, Lucy, Edmund, and Peter. I'm Susan."

Trumpkin just nodded again.

"Not to distract anyone but," Link said, pointing behind him, "What do we do with him? He's starting to come around."

We all looked behind him (Edmund helping Trumpkin up after lowering his sword) and saw the soldier he was pointing at. He was indeed coming around. He sat on the ground and tried to rub his eyes before he realized that his hands were tied.

"Well isn't it obvious?" I asked as they all looked at me.
