Corin and Susan had just passed the northern marsh. Just right by Ettismore. It was dark. Almost around 3 o'clock.

"Why don't we stop here and get some sleep?" Corin suggested.

"I guess it'll be okay," Susan allowed.

"I'll start the fire and go hunt for food. You can just sit."

"Are you practically saying that women can't do anything?"

"No of course not! I just want to make sure your safe."

"Safe? Why don't you just let the real archer get the food? Does that sound alright?"

"Fine."

Susan grabbed her bow and an arrow. The closer she was to the forest, the scarier it looked. She didn't want to go back though. If she did, then Corin wouldn't take her seriously anymore. Finally, she entered the forest. She could nothing. She was being watched. She couldn't see anyone. It was too hard to see what was what and where was where. She walked two steps forward with her arrow ready to shoot. She could hear somebody walking towards her. She had to run. It wasn't an animal. She was running back to Corin was when she tripped on a root.

Someone shot the arrow. If she never would have tripped, she would have had been shot in the head. Susan turned to look at the figure. He was preparing another arrow. Susan looked frantically for someone's help. She patted her right side of her belt and felt her horn. Susan took off her horn and blew it for help.

Corin had just finished the fire. The cracking noise it made a bit loud. The horses began to whine uncontrollably. Corin was trying to come them down. He listened closely to their whines. Susan's horse began to talk!

"Corin! Listen!" the horse cried.

Corin listened to the wind. Susan was blowing the horn! Corin took his sword out of his horse's bag and fled to the forest. The bowman was aiming at Susan when Corin came out of the bushes and jumped on the man. Susan frantically went to grab her bow and arrow.

"Corin! Get off him! I can take of him now!" Susan ordered.

"Corin?" the man whispered.

"Yes. King Corin of Archanland. Who are you?" Corin handled the sword slightly on the man's throat.

"Daniel! Captain Daniel of Ettismore," Daniel turned his head to Susan. "You must be Queen Susan the Gentle."

"And how do you know me?" Susan asked.

"At my last year of school, I was learning about Narnian history. They mentioned of you having a horn that could bring in help."

"Well. We are here to give a proposition," Corin introduced letting the captain go.

"What kind?" Daniel inquired.

"Calormen, the Wild Lands of the North, and the Beruna army are joining forces to destroy Narnia, Archanland, Ettismore, the Seven Isles, the Lone Islands, and Terebinthia. We are forming an army of all those countries to fight off the bad guys. Since your captain, you probably call the shots to the wars, am I mistaken?" Susan proposed.

"Hmm. This is very interesting. I'll have to give you a week to respond," Captain Daniel replied to the offer.

"Excuse me? A week to respond? Am I hearing you right?" Corin complained.

"Yes."

"You have to respond now because for all we know one of the country's are being attacked!" Susan implied.

"I'm sorry. The kingdom isn't quite what it has used to be. Come and see yourself," Daniel offered the King and Queen.

"Take us there," Susan allowed.

"Are you crazy?" Corin cried. "Why would we want to follow him? He could be impersonating a captain! He could be leading us to our certain death!"

"Then I am ready to risk it. Let us burn out our fire and prepare our horses," Susan instructed.

"You mean just horse," Corin implied.

"What do you mean?" Susan whispered.

"I mean your going to have to go to Ettismore without me. I'm heading back to Cair Paravel where I know I can be safe."

"You can't just be leaving me here! Peter paired you and me together because I am weaker then you!"

"No. Peter told me you were stronger and I agreed. You can look after yourself."

Corin ran into the campsite and hopped on his horse and left. Susan looked back at Daniel. She gave the look of urgency, He responded with the look of allowing. She ran to the fire and stomped it out. Luckily it wasn't that big to begin with. She saddled up her horse and headed for the forest.

"Which way?" Susan asked.
