Okay thank you so much for all of the reviews, favourites and alerts so far. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

"Just one." Peter told him as he lowered the visor of his helmet and jumped on to a rock as Miraz moved forward and brought his great sword, Rhindon, crashing down onto Miraz's shield as the Telmarines King brought his sword up to hit Peter's.

Peter swung his sword forward hitting the other King's shield again before Miraz pushed his shield into Peter's face, knocking the High King's head back.

Susan kicked Destrier on as they emerged from the tunnel of a small cave. The black Friesian cantered along the woodland tracks with only the sound of her hoof beats as they went along for without the armour her Telmarine tack made no clunking sounds, giving the Queen's a silent advantage.

Lucy held onto her sister and looked over Susan's right shoulder to see where they were going while also keeping her head to the right to avoid it banging into Susan's quiver of arrows and her bow. Still the young Queen feared that the Telmarines would find them even with the setup of their plan getting them away from Aslan's How at a good time.

The path changed to have a lake on the Queen's right hand side. Numerous trees surrounded their track, but none of them moved or spoke to them. On the left hand side of the track the stone wall was built up and the green moss at the top had the sun shine on it through the branches of the trees.

And it was on that path that the Telmarines road, searching for the High Queen and Queen of Narnia. When she heard the whinnie of a horse, Lucy looked over her own shoulder to her left and noticed the group of about six Telmarines that followed them from the track above.

"Ride!" They shouted and Lucy turned back to face her older sister's back.

"They've seen us!" She told her, her tone of voice carrying over the panic that she was feeling.

Susan – now that Lucy had told her this – turned her head to look back and see how many of them there were. When she looked forward again she kicked Destrier on even more and they picked up the pace into a gallop to pull ahead of the soldiers, however Susan knew that even that wouldn't be enough to help them lose the Telmarines now.

The soldiers would follow them until they caught up and then (dependent of course on their orders) they would either kill the pair of them or capture them as hostages, but either way Susan could see no way of them finding Aslan before the soldiers caught up to them.

At least not together anyway.

Caspian was doing his best to follow the hoof prints that were in the woods tracks as he galloped along on his horse, but it was easy to confuse the different animal's tracks at fast speeds and for a moment he was thankful that not too many Narnians had come this way.

Although that was of course partly, because there were none of them other than the ones in their army.

He kicked his horse on even more when he heard the agonized shouts of soldiers and hoped that he wasn't too late to help Susan and Lucy.

Susan and Lucy emerged from the bush at the end of the path into an area full of trees and where the ground was consisting of brownish and amber coloured leaves. Destrier whinnied as Susan brought her to a halt in the middle before swinging her right leg over to her left side and letting herself land on the floor of leaves.

"Take the reins." Susan told Lucy as she let go of them and Lucy moved herself further forward into the front of the saddle.

"What are you doing?" Lucy asked her sister desperately with worry as well as she noted Susan's movements.

"I'm sorry, Lucy," Lucy looked over at the area from where the Telmarines would approach and then back at Susan, "But it looks as if you'll be going alone after all." Lucy watched as Susan swallowed before moving back and hitting Destrier's hind quarters to get the horse to move forward. Destrier did so with another whinnie and Lucy let the black mare move out of the way at a trot.

Susan watched as the horse moved away from her. She reached a hand up to behind her head as the turned around to face the end of the pathways before grabbing a hold of her bow and a single red and gold tipped arrow and pulling them out of her quiver.

She placed the arrow in her bow and stood in the centre of the area. The sun shone in through the trees and illuminated a few patches of leaves on either side of her, but managed to stay out of her line of sight. It was times like these that she thanked the Southern Sun.

She turned her head to look over in the direction that she had sent Lucy. The youngest Pevensie sibling had finally realised what Susan was doing and managed to bring Destrier to a stop. She looked around at Susan and met her sister's eye for a minute before turning her head to face forward and kicking Destrier forward and away from the area where Susan's battle would take place.

As soon as Lucy was out of her sight, Susan looked forward again and watched for the Telmarines to approach.

After a moment she saw the first Telmarine horse round the corner, its silver plated face armour catching the sun as well as its riders armour and sword as they came towards her. And that one soldier was followed by a second and that one was followed by a third.

Susan raised her bow and held the end of the arrow near to the bottom of her face. She adjusted her hands grip on the front of the bow and watched for the approaching Telmarines from a parallel line straight down her arrow and left arm and passed the end of the bow and string.

She fired the arrow and watched as it quickly moved to find its target. The arrow hit the first soldier on the left side of his chest around the area of his heart and as he fell to the left, his horse kept on going.

Susan grabbed another arrow and fired that one as well, hitting the third soldier in the line who had been riding a black horse.

Her third arrow hit the soldier who had been second in the line as well as the soldier who had been holding a cross bow.

She fired a fourth arrow to hit another soldier who had been riding a black horse and watched as another soldier with a cross bow appeared, coming towards her in a very fast gait on his chestnut horse.

One of the horses reared as the soldier fell from its back to join the bodies of his other army members. The horse all galloped past her after losing their riders, luckily with none of them actually hitting her as she reached to grab a fifth arrow.

A soldier approached her with a sword on another black horse and Susan grabbed her arrow, pulling it out of her quiver and over her head while ducking down at the same time allowing the Telmarines swinging sword to go straight over the top of her head.

And then she remembered the sixth soldier who had approached her before (the one that she had intended to aim for next) appear from her left and as she rose back up to her feet, he rammed his horse straight into her and Susan didn't really feel the impact of it until she felt herself hit the floor, her Narnian crafted quiver digging into the bottom of her back as she did.

She looked over and watched the solider as he turned his horse around to bring it in front of her before she could even comprehend getting up and back onto her feet. Her bow lay at her side, still gripped lightly in her left hand.

The Gentle Queen shuffled back as far as she could get until she ended up being backed up against a wooden log as the Telmarine soldier pointed his silver sword at her.

Suddenly another voice's shout entered the picture and a quick moving blur moved passed her, but Susan could work out that it was a bay coloured horse. The clanging of swords was heard, but it was heard only once before the soldier had a Telmarine blade slice through his stomach and he fell off of his horse and to the floor below.

Caspian sheathed his sword and rounded his horse over to where Susan was backed up against the moss and leaf covered log. The Queen of Old looked up at Caspian almost incredulously as he offered her out a hand.

"Are you sure you don't need that horn?" He asked with a smile as he brought his horse to a halt. Susan smiled back at him before pulling herself up from the ground and taking a hold of his hand before he pulled her up onto the back of the saddle before kicking his horse on again, the sun illuminating their faces as they rode away, Susan still with her bow held in her left hand.

Their blades clashed together again as the sun shone down on them. Peter and Miraz switched sides as they equalled each other in their match. Their swords clashed again before Peter moved back to the other side and whacked Miraz causing him to move across to the other side of that battle field.

After a few seconds the two clashed again once again switching sides. A cheer came from the Narnians, but Peter still tried to block it out focusing on the battle in front of him and on his brother, Edmund.

Glenstorm and Trumpkin exchanged a small smile as they knew that Peter had done well so far.

Miraz swung his sword again and Peter ducked, however as he rose back up the Telmarine King whacked his shield into Peter's head, forcing his head to fall back and his helmet to fall to the ground with a clang.

He looked back up at Miraz who then swung his sword again. Peter moved his head and managed to avoid having his neck cut by the blade. The High King knelt down onto one knee and swung his sword, the blade connecting with Miraz's right leg, cutting straight through the fabric.

The King bent over and placed a hand over the injury before raising back up and looking over at Lord Glozelle expecting him to shoot Peter any moment now after he gave him the signal.

Lord Gregoire was watching him and past him Glenstorm, the Bulgy bear and Trumpkin while Lord Sopespian watched his cousin before turning to look at his King and Lord Glozelle watched his King the whole time (not that he counted the man as his King anymore).

Both of the Kings took a step back before charging at each other. Miraz threw his sword down towards Peter, but connected with the ground instead as Peter rolled over him to his side.

The High King of Narnia was on the other side of the concrete arena when he pulled himself onto his knees and then back onto his feet. Miraz swung at him again, but only to connect with the silver shield. Peter then brought his own sword over the top of his shield and swung at Miraz only to connect to his shield.

Miraz threw another swing at Peter and connected to his shield before tripping the King up causing him to land on his back. Peter didn't get a chance to move before Miraz brought his foot down onto the inside of his shield and twisted it slightly causing Peter to yell out in pain as his shoulder was moved at a strange and unusual angle.

The Bulgy bear put his paw into his mouth and bit it while Trumpkin and Glenstorm shared a look between the two of them.

Peter recovered as quickly as he could and swung his sword up hitting once again against Miraz's shield. The King swung his sword and only got thin air as Peter rolled over away from him, having to roll over his shield to do so.

Peter blocked each of Miraz's attempts at hitting him with a sword and he rolled away each time until he couldn't roll away any further, so he rolled and rolled back slightly, so that when Miraz moved forward to strike at him he could hit the King's shield before rolling away completely causing the King to fall over onto his back.

Both of them then rose back onto their feet and stared at the other, but Peter moved his gaze at one point to look over at the trees when he heard a horse whinnie.

Caspian rode back towards them and from his position Peter could see his sister's noticeable quiver of her bow and arrows from behind Caspian's head, however he couldn't see any sign of Lucy with them. The pair came to a halt a little way from where Glenstorm and Trumpkin were stood, halting the horse on the grass and dismounting.

"Does His Highness need a respite?" Miraz asked as they stood each other down, staring at one another intently to watch for any move that the other would make.

"Five minutes?" Peter asked.

"Three." Miraz told him emphasising that point by saying it through near gritted teeth and mentioning with his sword and shield. Lord Glozelle placed down the cross bow and then went about moving Miraz's chair.

Edmund continued to make his way round the back of Aslan's How from around the wooden track. He could hear shouts from both Narnian and Telmarine alike as he did so and he could only hope that Peter was winning or matching Miraz.

Suddenly the Narnians cheers turned into worried shouts and Edmund moved over to a set of trees. He found his footing easily and climbed up a bit until he could see slightly over the top of the track. He watched Susan and Caspian arrive on a horse to join Peter who seemed injured.

Aware that he was losing his footing Edmund climbed back down and as he started walking again said, "Keep smiling Peter."

The archers were looking between each other motioning to what looked like was wrong with Peter and most of his land army seemed to be doing the same. Trumpkin moved forward and grabbed Peter's helmet before walking back to where Susan and Caspian now stood with his High King.

Caspian took his gloves off and looped them over his belt as he and Susan came to a stop by Glenstorm, the Gentle Queen looking on worriedly at her brother as he walked towards them.

"Lucy?" Peter questioned as he approached them

"She got through…" Susan told him before looking at Caspian and back to Peter, "With a little help."

"Thanks." Peter said to Caspian although he did wish that the Prince had told him where he was heading off to.

"Well, you were busy." Caspian replied.

"I assume you won't let things get that close again!" Miraz told Lord Glozelle as he threw his helmet down onto the floor while the Lord just looked down with both Lord Gregoire and Lord Sopespian looking at him also.

"You better get up there," Peter told Susan who then looked around to see the group of archers that she had been training looking lost without some form of authority up there with them, "Just in case. I don't expect the Telmarines will keep their word." Peter finished while Caspian watched his Uncle carefully.

Susan took a step forward and gave her brother a light hug, but still she got a gasp of pain from him.

"Sorry." She said

"It's all right." Peter replied.

"Be careful." Susan told him.

"What about that lot?" Trumpkin asked before hinting over towards their army of worried Narnians.

"Smile, Peter," Susan said, "Trumpkin and I will go and join the archers." She and Lucy's Dear Little Friend turned and ran off towards the How. While they did so Peter raised his sword and put on a very big smile even though he was gritting his teeth together slightly, but from a distance his army couldn't see that and cheered for him.

Caspian

"How does he look to you?" Miraz asked.

"Young." Lord Sopespian replied, although he knew that Miraz wasn't looking for that answer.

"But His Majesty's doing extremely well…" Lord Glozelle started backing up the High King of Narnia, "For his age." He then tightly pulled on the bandage to make sure that it stayed and Miraz groaned in pain as he did so.

"Ah," Peter looked over to his right as Caspian removed the shield from his arm, "I think it's dislocated." He told the Prince and Glenstorm before Caspian started to check that out for him.

"I wonder what happens back home if we die here." Peter said loud enough for Caspian and Glenstorm to here, but neither of them commented on it finding it wiser not to. Caspian looked at Peter for a moment before thinking something up.

"Then let's try not to test it. Remember you've still got Edmund to find." Peter looked up at him after that and started speaking again.

"You know, Edmund's always been there and I never really…" Peter cried out in pain as Caspian relocated his shoulder.

"You'll have to save that for later. For Edmund not for me." Caspian patted Peter on the back before walking over to grab his weapons.

Miraz stood up and so did Peter. He was handed his sword by Caspian followed by his shield. Susan looked at Trumpkin and he looked at her before they both looked back at Peter and the battlefield below them. Caspian then offered Peter his helmet, however to his surprise the High King denied it and didn't take it.

Glenstorm stepped forward a bit and then said, "Good luck My Liege." Peter nodded his head in thank you to the Centaur before walking out back onto the battlefield and his whole army behind him cheered loudly as he did so.

Lord Glozelle also offered Miraz his helmet, but the King refused to take it as he too walked back onto the battlefield.

Peter rushed at Miraz and knocked the King's shield before he could even take a single swing at him. Miraz then swung back at the High King only to have it blocked by his sword and then have his second attempt blocked by Peter's shield.

Miraz brought his sword down onto Peter's before pushing his shield into Peter's knocking the King back a few steps. The Telmarine King took another swing at him and then slammed his shield into Peter's face, knocking the High King's head back.

Peter swung at Miraz who blocked it before Peter swung again, however Miraz ducked and the blade went straight over his head. When the King rose back up and the pair clashed swords again. Miraz spun round and whacked his shield into Peter's, the sun reflecting off both of their silver blades.

The impact knocked Peter into the edge of one of the stone pillars and it was only thanks to his shield that he didn't hit his arm or his face, however he did then land onto the floor on his right side with his shield rolling onto the floor a little way away from him.

Miraz stumbled back a few steps before he headed back towards Peter and attempted to bring his blade down onto the High King's neck or chest. Peter rose as quickly as he could and managed to block the sword with his own, even if it then did knock him back down a bit.

The Telmarine went to strike again, but Peter had moved quicker and swung his legs round, kicking Miraz's out from under him to knock him down onto the floor. Peter's blade hit against Miraz's shield as the King rolled over slightly before pulling himself up and onto his feet as Peter rose from his knees ready for the next blow to come even though he knew that he was at a disadvantage without his shield.

Edmund had run along the track after seeing part of Peter and Miraz's battle. He couldn't hear the shouts anymore on this lower part of the track as he attempted to avoid the Telmarine spy's that Glozelle had given the locations of to him.

However he was unlucky when he heard a horse moving towards him before he heard the shout of a soldier. He grabbed his shield, but made no bother with his sword instead reaching for the knife that Lord Glozelle had given to him.

His aim had always been good and although at this point in time he would prefer to have a bow and arrow or a cross bow he managed and the knife hit just off of its original target, getting the soldiers leg, but still it forced him off of his horse and he fell to the ground.

Edmund drew his sword and moved forward as the soldier got up and grabbed his own sword from the ground. Their two blades clanged together before the soldier knocked Edmund's shield out of his way and it tumbled down the bank beside them.

The King of Old ducked and swung his sword across the man's ankles and as he went to fall over decapitated him with a single slash across the neck. He continued to run afterwards, but then heard another shout as a horse appeared behind him, but with a very loud roar (that Edmund didn't think was human) the threat of the Telmarine soldier was gone.

Edmund looked around and saw the outline of what he believed to be a lion. The lion looked at him and nodded and in that moment Edmund recognised it could be Aslan. He blinked a few times before the lion turned and ran off in the offer direction. Edmund turned and continued to run in the direction that he needed to go in.

Although he never lost faith that that very lion could have been Aslan himself just because he ran off. After all Aslan was known for coming and going whenever he liked.

Peter and Miraz's blades met and Peter managed to force Miraz's back before swinging it across his head managing to successfully land a hit this time getting him in the nose with the shock causing Miraz to drop his sword.

Peter moved forward for another attack and Miraz defended with his shield to the best of his ability a few times before Peter swung again, but this time lent forward just a bit too much and Miraz moved his shield out of the way and grabbed the top of the sword ad Peter attempted to get a direct hit.

The sword was pulled from his grip and Miraz whacked Peter across the head before pushing his shield into the Kings shoulder before trying to do a similar thing again, but this time Peter grabbed the shield and held it away from his own body and tried to push it against Miraz.

He eventually succeed in twisting himself under the shield and twisting Miraz's arm behind his back. However Miraz used his free arm to whack Peter in the face before pushing him over, so that he banged into one of the slabs of rock.

Miraz then bent over to pick up his sword before attempting once again to bring it down over Peter's head, however Peter managed to move to his left in time to avoid the hit. Miraz swung the sword again and Peter used the armour on his arms to block the hits before punching Miraz's leg exactly where he had cut it earlier causing the King to cry out in pain and grab a hold of his injured leg.

"Respite!" He called out over the cheers of the Narnian army as he fell to his knees and Peter moved over to make sure that he was alright, "Respite."

"Show no mercy!" The Narnians cried and Caspian was looking over his shoulder at them and then back at Peter unsure as to what the High King would choose to do.

Miraz was looking at Lord Glozelle who made no move to pick up the cross bow and Lord Sopespian allowed the small hints of a smile to appear on his face.

Silence fell upon everyone as Peter made his decision, finally choosing to allow the respite that Miraz had ordered and started to walk back towards Caspian and Glenstorm. Miraz glared at Lord Glozelle who still didn't make any movement at all before reaching to his right and grabbing a hold of his sword.

Edmund was making his way around the back of the How when he heard the Narnians shouts and so looked back over to see if Peter was winning since that was what his army seemed to be hinting at. From watching his brothers actions, Edmund wished that he could be over there to tell him this.

"Now's not the time for chivalry, Peter!" He knew that his brother couldn't hear him, but it was automatic for him to say it anyway. And even from where he was he could spot Miraz's actions quicker than Peter could and shouted out to him again.

"Look out!" Edmund breathed a sigh of relief when Peter brought Miraz down to his knees.

Peter heard a nagging shout in the back of his mind warning him to look out and so he turned around to check that Miraz was heading back over to his group as well only to find the King almost directly behind him with sword raised and poised to strike.

Caspian made move to reach for his sword, Glenstorm made move to raise his and the Bulgy bear made move to intercept with his paws.

Peter ducked and then grabbed the sword as Miraz attempted to bring it down on him a second time before stabbing him just under the shoulder with his own blade forcing him to his knees. Peter held the sword raised and considered whether or not to take the Kings life. On the one hand he wanted to and on the other he didn't, because Miraz could be his only chance of finding Edmund, but on the third hand (not of course that he had a third) it wasn't really his life to take.

"What's the matter, boy?" Miraz asked, "Too cowardly to take a life?"

Eventually the High King lowered the sword and spoke, "It's not mine to take." Peter turned around and held out the hilt of the Telmarine sword to Caspian who remained stood where he was for a moment before walking forward and taking a hold of the sword. Once he had taken it Peter bent down and picked up his own sword before walking over to join Glenstorm.

Susan watched carefully as Caspian took a few steps forward towards his Uncle. Peter and Glenstorm also watched carefully as Caspian raised the sword to have it pointed down at Miraz.

"Perhaps I was wrong," Miraz said, "Maybe you do have the makings of a Telmarine King after all."

Caspian listened to this and Miraz lowered his head before the Prince yelled out and ran the sword into the ground in front of him. The Telmarines King jumped before looking up into the enraged face of Caspian the Tenth.

"Not one like you," Caspian all but growled before standing up straight again. He was unwilling to be a King like Miraz who would Murder people and possibly kidnap people as well, although Caspian was surprised that Miraz hadn't used Edmund against them so far if he did have him captures, "Keep your life. But I am giving the Narnians back their kingdom."

Caspian looked over at the three Telmarine Lords and watched as Lord Sopespian stared back him. He returned his gaze to Miraz before walking back over towards Peter and Glenstorm. As he reached them the Centaur raised his sword and the Narnians cheered, knowing that to be the symbol of their victory.

Lord Glozelle watched the Narnians happily, glad that Caspian had chosen to give them back what was rightfully theirs. Lord Sopespian whacked him on the arm and Glozelle could guess why. Sopespian was the first to walk forward to Miraz who still remained knelt down in front of his own blade.

"My King." He said as he helped the injured King up and onto his feet.

The archers cheered and Susan smiled as Caspian headed back to meet her older brother, glad that he had in turn done the right thing.

Peter patted Caspian on the back before turning to Glenstorm.

"I'm going to ask Miraz about Edmund." Glenstorm nodded and Caspian stood in between the two of them for a moment before replying.

"I'll come with you."

But none of them could have predicted what happened next.

Alright I will update this again at the end of the weekend and I will also update the Just tomorrow, I intended to on Thursday, but I hadn't finished the chapter, so I might try and update that story twice this weekend. Also please remember to vote on my poll. Thanks for favouriting, alerting, reviewing and reading.
