Thanks for all the reviews!
I hope you enjoy this chapter, I'll have a hard time writing this chapter because it's the battle and there's so much going on but I'll try my best.
I won't write the parts with Susan, Lucy and Aslan because Amelia is at the battle and there is nothing to add to the scenes in the movie.
And just to let you guys know I do use the extended edition of the movie so the battle sequence has a bit more added to it, if you don't recognize it that's why.
Amelia and Blaine can feel the pain the Pevensies have first it starts off small, the longer the Pevensies have the injury the harder the pain will get. If the Pevensies are close to death the pain will turn unbearable. (The bond of the protector that's about to break)
Disclaimer: After all this time you really don't by now.
R&R Peeps!
Onto the story!
Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.
Chapter 17: The Battle of Beruna
As the Narnian army arrived at the battlefield Peter and Edmund grabbed their shields while Amelia and Blaine checked their weapons once again and made sure that Peter and Edmund's weapons were fine as well.
"Let's get to our places." Peter said and jumped on his unicorn and rode out to a little hill on the battlefield Blaine following while Edmund and Amelia took their place on the mountain behind the biggest part of the army.
"I love you, Edmund. Please don't do anything stupid." Amelia said as she turned to him.
"I love you too. And I won't if you don't do something stupid first." Edmund said grabbing her hand and pulling her a bit closer leaning in, kissing her.
It didn't last very long but both ten year olds understood the meaning : This might be the last kiss we share.
And then they heard screeching from the griffin they sent out to warn them of the Witches army and they turn, hearts beating fast.
The griffin passes the whole army to finally take rest between Peter and Blaine.
"They come, Your Highness, in numbers and weapons far greater than our own." The griffin said.
"Numbers do not win a battle." Orieus said while Peter and Blaine looked at each other nervous.
"No. But I bet they help." Peter said turning to Orieus as much as his armor would allow him.
And then they heard the horn of the Witches army approaching.
Making everyone look at each other nervously.
Edmund and Amelia saw it first standing at a higher vantage point that Peter and Blaine, the giant army that was approaching them, and it terrified them to say the least.
Peter and Blaine first say general Otmin appear on the hill and as he roared the rest of the huge army appeared for them to view.
As the Witches army came into view all making noises it silenced the Narnian army even more in fright.
Then Edmund and Amelia saw Peter turn to them and they nodded telling him they believed in him and he could do this. Then Peter turned to Blaine who also nodded in reassurance.
And then they saw Peter take his sword out, the sign that they were officially going to battle and the horn sounded for anyone who couldn't see.
This made the Narnian army scream with fighting lust suddenly renewed.
The Witches army responded just the same after the roar of general Otmin.
After his second roar the Witches army started charging at them and Peter kept steadfast, although he was scared beyond control on the inside.
Seeing the army approaching Edmund took out his sword ready to give the arches the sign when need be, Amelia took an arrow and made her bow ready for action.
They were really going to do this, and although they felt like they weren't ready, they knew they were because they believed in Aslan and he had told them they were ready.
As Peter saw the Witches army approaching he waited until they were at the right place and swung his sword just once, summoning the griffins with giant boulders.
As the griffins flew above their heads Edmund and Amelia smiled knowing Peter had really started the battle.
They saw the boulders making impact with the Fell beasts on the ground and then the saw the banshees lift off from the Witches side and taking down some of their griffins, the first victims had been made.
As more and more of the boulders fell and injured or killed the fell beasts the dwarfs started shooting their arrows at the griffins and the griffin that had been beside Peter not moments ago screeched for them to return, the battle on the ground was about to begin.
"Are you with me?" Peter asked Blaine and Orieus.
"To the death." Orieus answered.
"Always." Blaine said.
And then Peter looked forward again and took a deep breath before shouting:
"For Narnia and for Aslan!" And then he charged into the field Blaine and Orieus not far behind, swords at the ready.
And they were followed by the rest of the Narnian army.
From where Edmund and Amelia were standing it was quite the spectacle to see.
The two armies charging at each other: The Witches army disorganized and run through each other, and The Narnian army lead by Peter who was only surpassed by the leopards.
As the Narnian army came closer their spears where lowered and the leopards sprinted to intercept the white tigers and only then did Peter lower his helmet mask.
To Peter the moments before his army and the Witches army hit seemed very peaceful in a way, he heard nothing but his own breathing and then chaos erupted as the big cats clashed and his sword his the first fell beast killing it while the rest of the army finally surpassed him and started killing as much as the fell beasts as they could in the initial fight.
It was very hard for Edmund and Amelia to see the difference between the Narnian army and the Witches army when they clashed, it was one fighting mass.
Both were already fearing for their siblings death, as they didn't see the chain mail or bright red tunic of Peter nor Blaine.
And then they finally did see them, they were fighting as if they were supposed to, for their lives and for their country.
Just as the Narnian army finally seemed to have killed quite a few of the fell beasts the Witch moved making the rest of her army follow her.
Edmund saw this and decided it was time for a little magic.
"Fire!" He yelled and a centaur launched an arrow that turned into a phoenix in mid air.
The Witches army noticed this and the dwarfs tried to hit it with their arrows but the phoenix avoided them.
But if it hadn't been for Peter taking a spear out of one of the fell beasts throwing it towards the banshee trying to kill the phoenix, the phoenix never would have touched the ground making a firey path that the Witches army couldn't cross, at least for a moment.
Edmund felt like he had finally done something good after all this time and smiled, getting smiles from Amelia and Mr. Beaver.
The Narnian army could cheer for about a minute before the Witch broke the barrier, making Peter yell:
"Fall back! Draw them to the rocks!"
Making a centaur sound a horn, that Edmund and Amelia could here.
"That's the signal, come on!" Mr. Beaver said while Edmund and Amelia started running to the rocks Peter was referring to.
Peter and Blaine galloped next to each other killing fell beasts that dared to come in their way.
As the reached the spot where there was a little valley, Edmund raised his sword while Amelia and the rest of the archers drew back their arrows ready to release at Edmunds signal.
When Edmund deemed the fell beasts in range of the archers he lowered his sword, making the archers release their arrows, a barrage of arrows falling on the fell beasts killing whoever was struck.
"Fire at will." Edmund yelled next and the arrows started flying around his head towards the fell beasts and in horror he saw how Peters unicorn was struck by an arrow Ginarrbrik fired and Peter flew of his horse making him lose his helmet.
Making Blaine and Orieus stop and turn around.
As Blaine galloped towards Peter getting him up, Orieus and a rhino charged towards the Witch while Peter yelled for them to stop.
The rhino got take out quick by some creatures with blades as arms.
After a long battle with General Otmin Orieus finally reached the Witch and Peter couldn't do anything but watch as he was turned to stone while Blaine protected Peter from anything approaching having jumped from his horse.
Edmund and Amelia looked at each other and decided that they couldn't just stay on top of the mountain.
So they began running down Edmund sword already in hand and Amelia putting away her bow in favour of taking out her sword.
As they reached the ground they attacked the first fell beasts they saw, as if they had been doing this since they were born.
All four of the kids were fighting close to each other, when Amelia saw an Ogre go for Edmund she ran up and quickly slashed and hacked as the ogre's attention was not turned to her, until she finally got a deathly blow to him.
Edmund was busy fighting a minotaur hardly holding of it's axe, and then he pushed away the axe and stabbed the minotaur in the heart.
Peter and Blaine were going at it like animal they were slashing one beast while hacking another and then another came up just as they killed one, their hair was wet from the sweat.
After Peter killed one he looked around seeing even more come in he turned to the younger siblings.
Edmund, Amelia!" He yelled getting their attention as they had just killed another fell beast.
"There's too many! Get out of here! Get the girls and get them home!" Peter yelled just as a minotaur came up to him and he started fighting again.
They looked at each other in disbelieve, after all they had done Peter was sending them away.
"You heard him! Let's go!" Mr. Beaver said pulling Edmund's hand and Amelia's dress so they had no choice but to follow, running back up the mountain.
Just as they reached the top Edmund noticed the Witch heading straight for Peter and took out his sword.
"Peter said get out of here!" Mr. Beaver said.
"Peter's not king yet." Edmund said and started running surprising both Mr. Beaver and Amelia.
Amelia quickly started running after him.
"Edmund! No!" She yelled as he jumped off a ledge to a lower level and while he could squeeze through the tight gap between to rocks, Amelia's dress got caught under one of the rocks and started pulling resulting in getting it even more stuck.
She saw Edmund push Ginarrbrik off the mountain and then run on to jump of the ledge towards the Witch all the while trying to get the stupid dress loose.
As he jumped of the ledge yelling he got the attention of the Witch and she turned trying to turn him to stone, he quickly sidestepped and brought his sword down on the wand shattering it creating a sharp edge.
The Witch used this to her advantage as she quickly disarmed him and stabbed him in the gut.
Both Peter and Amelia saw him fall to the ground in agonizing pain which Amelia could vaguely start to feel, and as Peter charged towards the Witch, Amelia tore her dress by pulling hard enough and quickly ran to Edmund.
"Eddie." She said as she cradled him closes to her as she felt the pain in her own gut increasing watching Peter and The Witch fight.
The fight came to a sudden stop as Aslan appeared healthy and very much alive roaring, with more troops at his side.
The Witch took advantage of Peter being distracted and struck him giving her the upper hand pinning him to the ground being seconds away from impaling him on her sword when Aslan sprung towards her and killed her.
Peter stood there looking while Aslan killed the Witch and then turned to him saying:
"It is finished."
Then the peaceful moment between Aslan and Peter was broken as his sisters came running towards him yelling his name, Blaine not far behind.
It was Susan who noticed asking:
"Where are Edmund and Amelia?"
Peter panicked and started running the other following.
When they reached the place where Edmund was laying in Amelia's arm Susan saw Ginarrbrik trying to finish them with his axe and quickly fired an arrow taking care of that.
They ran towards the pair and heard Edmund gasping for air while Amelia was crying from the pain.
Susan quickly took off his helmet looking at Lucy to quickly give Edmund her cordial, while Peter and Blaine couldn't do anything but watch and pray.
Just as a drop fell into Edmund's mouth he stopped breathing and Amelia finally emitted a sob.
Until they heard Edmund gasp and Amelia felt the pain fade away.
And then everyone smile and laughed at one another, and Peter took his brother into his arms being glad to be holding him, alive.
"When are you going to learn to do as you're told?" Peter asked laughing making the rest of the group laugh and then they all hugged, glad to be alive and in one piece.
Then Aslan approached them not saying anything but breathing onto a soldier turned to stone, Lucy got the hint and started running around the battlefield healing the injured while the rest of them finally caught their breath after a long battle.
When everyone was turned back from stone and cured of all injuries, the whole army started moving toward the castle of the four thrones.
At twilight the kids finally saw Cair Paravel for the first time up close smiling.
They were ushered inside and to – What they didn't realize yet – their chambers.
Peter, Susan, Lucy and Blaine each to a separate one and Edmund and Amelia to the same one they got cleaned up and where put to bed after a long day.
So I hope you guys liked that, I tried my hardest, it's 3 o' clock at night right now but I wanted this finished.

Until next time!
