Sunset…Last Meeting
The army gathered around the Stone Table. Aslan was standing on the table. Everything was in the same condition as they were in the other world but the Stone Table for some reason was back to how it was in the Pevensie's first adventure before Aslan's "death".
"Welcome all. Tomorrow will be the last day for meetings and for practicing. The day after is the battle that'll determine our destiny!" Peter raged.
"We'll need you all to be better then ever. This could be our end!" Edmund implied.
"That is all we have to say. Meeting adjourn," Lucy dismissed the large group.
Peter, Edmund, Susan, and Lucy went to the back of the Stone Table to Aslan to make sure that everyone doesn't see them sneaking out.
"I will make sure of it. Just to make sure, wear your cloaks. And also, change form your coronation clothing," Aslan warned the children.
The little family ran back to their tents. Lucy and Susan found their old camp clothes from when they first came to the how. Same with Peter and Edmund. Susan and Lucy wore their red and blue cloaks and Peter and Edmund wore their maroons. They were close to the main entrance of the how but Orieus was guarding it. Peter looked at Edmund and nodded his head. Edmund pulled out a small purple, velvet pouch and pulled out some stardust. Edmund crept behind a huge boulder and peeped his head out of a hole in the rock. Orieus was looking away.
Edmund pulled his head away and said, "Expialis, Binx!" He blew on the stardust; it sparkled around Orieus' head. The centaur blinked a few times and nodded into a deep sleep. It was only temporary, just to let the Kings and Queens sneak off. Peter, Susan, and Lucy climbed up a tree while Edmund hung from a branch, holding some more stardust and he said the spell backwards, "Xnib, Silaipxe!" and blew the dust. The wind picked it up and was guided to Orieus. He grunted and found himself asleep which wasn't good. At least for him. Aslan and the others would cut him some slack because it was mandatory for the small family to sneak away.
When Orieus wasn't looking, one of the family members jumped out of the tree and rushed to a bush farther away. Now it would be safe to walk to the witch's camp. It was very dark and to Lucy, it was spooky. Narnia always seemed calm to her at night. Ever since the White Witch was back, she felt more danger in being sneaking off then being in a battle.
"Lucy," Peter whispered in a hush tone.
"Yes?" Lucy shivered.
"I want this to come from you. Do you feel safe going into the battle?"
"I have to defend my country. Just as I would in England if they allowed women and if I was of age."
"Just making sure."
"But can't I be up with the archers? I've been learning from Susan and she says I would be better off up there and I would feel a lot calmer."
Peter looked at Susan and gave her a smirk. Susan laughed inside.
"Of course."
"Pete!" Edmund called, "STOP!"
Peter and Lucy stopped with their breaths very deep. They were one step into falling into a trap. The old branches covering a huge whole was very noticeable to them since they were the ones who had usually made the traps. Lucy had was first to walk around it, then signaled Peter saying it was safe.
"Look! There's the camp!" Susan cried.
The entire camp was still awake. Lucy looked back and saw someone in a black cloak walking towards them.
"Guys! We have to move quickly!" Lucy pointed out.
"But where are we to hide? There is only the camp and we would be dead!" Edmund muttered.
"Isn't there a disguise spell that you know?" Lucy inquired.
"Uh! Transformous Millenous! Hags!"
The Pevensie family was now disguised has hags. One of the witch's creatures. They were still wearing their cloaks but their weapons were invisible. They looked like half humans, half chickens. The chicken part didn't have feathers though. It looked like they were plucked and boiled.
"Great now follow that person! Most likely Queen Marianne," Peter ordered.
"It's not Marianne," Susan muttered.
"Then why did you come?" Peter asked.
"I wanted to prove you all wrong?"
"We can fight about this later. Right now the person is in the camp and we have to find it and report it," Edmund broke up the debate.
The four walked into the camp. There were Minotaurs, boggles, bat-like creatures, hags, bad giants, Cyclops, wolves, white tigers, shin creatures, Tashbaanians, and all the Giants from the Wild lands from the North! In the center of the camp sat Jadis herself! The witch was going over the plans with the Minotaur General and there stood the mystery person.
"What news do you bring to me?" the witch asked the cloaked figure.
The person took off their hood. It was Queen Marianne.
"They plan to lead you to the sea and have the merpeople destroy the ships and kill the sailors," Marianne revealed.
Susan felt embarrassed. She had been wrong the entire time. Peter didn't want to say I told you so. He knew Susan felt bad enough. She didn't need it from him.
"Are they planning on sending the fire bird?" the Minotaur requested.
"They were still debating that," the traitor replied.
"Is your army ditching them tomorrow?" the White Witch whispered into Marianne's ear.
"Half of them want to. The other half is refusing. Those who are refusing are planning on ratting you us out," Marianne said aloud. She pulled out a piece of paper that had the names of the people who refused to the tertiary.
"Bring them here. I am going to give them a little talk," Jadis smirked.
Lucy gasped.
"Lucy, that is pretty surprising but not to gasp loudly!" Edmund reasoned.
"Not that!" Lucy stated. "Look at our hands! Their not hag like anymore!"
"Edmund! I thought this was long lasting spell!" Susan screeched silently.
Peter turned around and saw a hag chanting and pointing her hand towards them.
"We're turning back to humans!" Lucy cried.
"That hag! She's the one changing us back!" Peter pointed out. "Susan, take out your bow and arrow and shoot that…THING!"
Susan patted her back and felt for her quiver since it was invisible. She finally felt the quiver and felt the bow and arrow.
As soon as she pulled it out, the bow and arrow was visible. The hag was shot. Not a sound was made. Not even the hag screamed.
"Susan quick! Put away the weapon. Otherwise we will be spotted out!" Lucy warned her.
Susan just ran behind a bush pulling Edmund with her.
"Edmund, cast a spell or something to hide this," Susan begged.
"Um, Mytrex!"
The weapons were invisible again. Even the arrow that was in the hag was gone.
Ginarrbrik rushed to the witch's table with urgent news.
"What is it now Ginarrbrik?" Jadis sneered at the sight of the dwarf.
"We have intruders!" the dwarf hollered.
"Where?" Jadis stood at the moment the words intruder leaped out his mouth.
"In this spot!"
Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy looked up towards the table and hid behind a tree.
"How do you know?" the Minotaur inquired.
"One of our hags were killed but the weapon is missing! It was most likely an arrow."
"General. Get your troop to search Queen Susan in this camp. She is the one who killed the hag. I am most certain it is," the White Witch spoke.
The little family was human again.
"Edmund. Take Lucy back to the how. Susan and I are going to get the list of Ettismorians that refused to the tertiary," Peter ordered.
Edmund swiftly grabbed Lucy and rushed to the how. Susan and Peter climbed up the tree they were hiding behind. There was a long branch that led into another long branch that was directly above the table that had the list. Peter got across safely. Susan on the other hand almost fell off the branch. A smaller branch caught her cloak. Her string was becoming loose as in very thin. The witch, Minotaur, and Queen Marianne were back at the table discussing the plans for the ones to visit the witch themselves. Susan turned her head behind her to check if anyone could see them. The string finally snapped and fell off Susan's back. The blue cloth fell on top of the White Witch. She took off the cloak from her head and cringed it.
Peter and Susan rushed off the tree and dropped in front of a boggle. The witch looked up and saw the branch wiggling.
"Get those fools!" Jadis snarled.
The boggled grunted and cried to the entire camp.
"Quickly! Let's get out of here!" Peter shivered.
"No! We are getting that list!" Susan denied Peter's offer to safety. She ran into the witch's sight alarming the entire army.
"Get her!" Jadis demanded.
"Susan! Get back here!" Peter demanded as well.
Susan shoved Ginarrbrik out of her way and stole his sword. The Minotaur rushed to Susan. Susan banged the sword on the Minotaur's axe. She forced the blade into the weapon and pushed the Minotaur farther away then the dwarf. Susan threw the sword away and grabbed the list before the witch could grab her wand.
"See you later traitor!" Susan provoked Marianne.
Peter grabbed hold of Susan and ran back to the how. The two were going to go to the camp of Ettismore and grab the people, who refused to betray Narnia, to the Archanland camp to stay safe there.
