Chapter 15

The Blowing Of The Horn

Darkaan stepped further into the entrance hall, as the nine of them backed up against the opposite wall near the thrones.

"How ever did you break my enchantment?" he asked, staring at them.

"Thats none of your business!" spat the Elf.

"Silence, Elf." said the Wizard. "All of you shall never return to Narnia. You shall remain in Devast as my children, until you have grown strong enough to enter Narnia and enslave its heavenly inhabitants."

"We'll never do that to Narnia!" said Lucy, sharply.

"You shall do as I command, like you did before. You were almost powerful enough to go into Narnia. And now you have become weak again. I shall make you strong." said the Wizard. He whispered ancient words (words that no power on heaven or earth shall get me to tell you due to the fact that the words are very ancient and very powerful and put anyone you say the words too under your control) and a black sparks flew out of his hands and hit the group of nine. They began to scream, yell, and shout as they were being consumed by the evil of the enchantment.

"What do we do?" asked Jill.

"Its so strong!" said Eustace.

"This dark magic shall soon overcome us." said Peter. "The longer we fight, the more we'll strain and feel pain. Just give in and let us be evil. By Aslan's will..."

"No! This isn't over!" screamed Susan, grabbing her Horn for the first time, since she used it last in Narnia. She held it up to her mouth and blew. The sound echoed around the entire entrance hall. It bounced off the walls and the ceiling. Suddenly, the walls cracked apart and broke away. The ceiling caved in. The sound of the horn was blowing the castle of away.

Darkaan stopped his spell and looked at the sight of his castle.

"LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE? YOU HORRIBLE CHILD!" said Darkaan.

"That horrible child has done a great deed." said a strong voice. They all looked around to find a Lion, the size of an elephant standing a large piece of stone.

"Aslan!" they all shouted.

"Yes, my children." said the Lion. He let out a raging roar. "Let the first fight for Narnia begin!"

"Do you think you can beat me silly, Lion?" asked Darkaan.

He roared again.

Peter was holding a sword and shield, as were Edmund, Professor Digory, and Eustace. Lucy was holding a small dagger and her Cordinal of healing juice. Jill and Polly were holding bows and arrows.

"May we fight to the very end, Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve!" roared Aslan.

"Let us find out who'll win." said Darkaan. "ATTACK!"
