Peter's POV

Even if I don't like that girl Hoff, I wish she could be here. She is good at getting us food and stuff. We tried to keep along the edge but that was not easy. We kept on slipping. We had to go around some tree. We began to sweat. Now I was wishing we had listened to Lu, I also wished Hoff was here since it seemed like she knew the area. Oh well, at least we have Chanson. Ed, D.L.F, Chanson and I all wanted to eat but we didn't have any dry wood to make a fire. Lu seemed to be very miserable.

"At last!" Su exclaimed

"Oh, hurray!" I cried joyfully Finally, so we weren't really lost, well that's a relief.

We could see open country before us, and a broad stream before us. It was beautiful sight to see.

"By Jove. We fought the Battle of Beruna just where that town is!" Ed proclaimed. We all felt better after that. The walking came easier after that. The cliffs were on our left and the ground lowered to our right. Soon the gorge was only a valley, which was great. Suddenly a noise shot through the air, and D.L.F threw Lu onto the ground, we all fell flat on our stomachs, then we all realized that the sound that we heard was that of an arrow.

"Quick!Quick! Get back! Crawl." ordered D.L.F Oh no, this is bad. Real bad. We began to crawl back up the hill. A arrow hit Su's helmet making all of us move faster. We got out of there before we stood up.

"I ought to have my head smacked for bringing us this way at all." I apologies.

"Nope, it was Ed's idea for us to go this way - I mean by glasswater." Chanson pointed out.

"I'm afraid that Chanson is right." Ed said with a lowered head.

"And if we'd gone my way, we'd have walked straight into that new outpost, most likely; or at least had just the same trouble avoiding it. I think this Glasswater route has turned out for the best." the D.L.F stated

"I suppose we'll have to go right up the gorge again now." Lu smirked.

After that we headed back up the gorge. It was some rather hard work. I hope we'll run into Hoff, hopefully a living body. I can't figure out who she is and why she hates me so.

When we reached the trees we had to go around we got some firewood and made a nice fire and cooked our bear meat over it. We cooked the apples wrapped in bear's meat. It was so good. after that we went to sleep.

'Oh, yes. Dreadful. Dreadful that her own husband isn't there to protect her. To fight. But where is he? Gallantly off 'hunting' a stag. Abandoning his wife and child.' Hoff stated, then I saw a child running and a voice going after her. The child looked like Hope. Then I saw Telmarines coming they took Hope and Beth and took them out to sea, they tied them up and through them into the sea. I tried to run to them but couldn't "HOPE!" "BETH!" I called out then . . .

"Peter, wake up. Quick. Aslan is here. He says we've got to follow him at once." Lu had woken me up.

"Certainly, Lu. Whatever you like." Then I rolled over and went to sleep again. This time the dream was more pleasant.

Lots of lily's, many many lilies. Beth stood there, a smile on her face. She laughed. Then she came to me. "Peter. Find our daughter." "She's dead." I replied. "No, she isn't. Find our daughter." Then she left. "Hope" I wondered, even in my dream. "Where are you?".
"Peter. Do wake up." Ed said shaking me.

"What? Hope? Where's Hope Ed? I wondered groggily

"Peter, I don't mean to sound real odd or anything, but, no one knows what happened to Hope." The D.L.F stated.

"I can't see anything Lu, Because there isn't anything to see. You've been dreaming. So lie down and go to sleep, Lucy." Su snapped

"Lucy, don't you think we should wait for morning?" Chanson advised.

"And I do hope,that you will all come with me. Because - because I'll have to go with him whether anyone else does or not."

After that we argued a bit then followed Lu and this invisible Aslan. She started walking into some little trees that grew on the edge, she seemed a bit scared, but only for a second. Then she looked like she disappeared. No, I can't let you fall!

We all shouted out to her to be careful.

"No,she's right. There is a way down." Ed noticed. That is odd. Why would the path be hidden.

"Look! Look! What's the shadow crawling down in front of us?" Ed cried out excited

"It's his shadow." Lu stated

After a bit of talking we made our way down. I kind of felt left out, Ed could see a bit of him, and I couldn't. Su didn't want to go down, but Chanson was able to convince her to. We were soon at the bottom with the sound of the water in our ears.

"Oh, Aslan!" Cried Ed running forward, but whatever (if Aslan) left, walking on.

"Peter, Peter. Did you see?" Ed wondered.

"I saw something. But it's so tricky in this moonlight. On we go, though, and three cheers for Lucy. I don't feel half so tired now, either." I answered. Why could he see him and I couldn't. Oh well, maybe later. How am I supposed to find Hope. I feel like that wasn't just a dream.

Soon all but Susan and D.L.F could see Aslan. I could see him. I was so happy when I could. Then we came to another steep path upwards. When we finally got to the top we saw lots of heather and grass on a gentle slope. It was the hill to the stone table. I looked over and saw a fire, it was low, and a girl slept by it. Walking over I saw that it was Hoff. I knelt down.

"Hoff, Hoff. Wake up." I said gently. She sat straight up, she had a wild look in her eyes. Then she saw it was me and calmed down a bit. She growled.

"Wow, you guys are so fast." She said with sarcasm.

We started to go up the hill, but now that Hoff was hear, I kept my mouth shut. I didn't need another argument with her. She stood beside Chanson. I heard them talking, it sounded like they were getting each other up to date. I couldn't figure out how anyone would be able to stand her.

"Our side don't keep very good watch. We ought to have been challenged before now . . ." Grumbled D.L.F.

"Hush!" We all cried. In Front of us Aslan stopped and was looking at us.

I walked forward with Ed. I feel on one knee.

"Oh, Aslan. I'm so glad. And I'm so sorry. I've been leading them wrong ever since we started and especially yesterday morning." I spoke.

"My dear son." he said to me. Then turning to Ed "Well done."

"Susan." He paused. "You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you. Forget them. Are you brave again?"

"A little, Aslan." she replied.

"And now! Where is this little Dwarf, this famous swordsman and archer, doesn't believe in lions? Come here, Son of Earth, come HERE!"

"Wraiths and wreckage." gasped D.L.F. He was rather scared, and looked a bit like a ghost. Aslan pounced and played with him, we all could tell that he liked the D.L.F.

"Son of Earth, shall we be friends?" questioned Aslan.

"Ye-he-he-hes." panted D.L.F.

"Come forward child." He spoke to Hoff. She did, her head low. "Child, forgive."
"I'm not gonna! He doesn't deserve to be forgiven!" She spat. Wow, I've never seen anyone do that to Aslan before.

"Child. No one deserves forgiveness, but all should be given it out of mercy and grace. I have forgiven you for many things, now you should show that forgiveness to others. I have loved you, you then should go and show it to others. Your hate and anger have hurt you and others, stop and love and forgive." He said gently.

"I-I'll try, though it'll be hard. I'll try."

"Good." then turning to Chanson "Chanson, come forward."

Chanson came forward.

"You have been a good Faun. Continue and try to be better. Try to help your friend forgive."

"Yes sir."

"Now. The Moon is setting. Look behind you: there is the dawn beginning. We have no time to lose. You five, you sons of Adam, daughter of Eve, Faun and son of Earth, hasten into the Mound and deal with what you will find there."
