Tamryn lies down and closes her eyes embracing the sleep.

"Tamryn?"

"Hm, yeah, Cheyenne?"

"Do you think that we will win even though Korin's army so much bigger?"

"I think we have a strong chance of winning. Numbers don't always matter."

"They don't?"

"No, sometimes you just need enough faith in those you are fighting with and within yourself."

"So everything will work out for the best."

"Exactly."

Cheyenne lies down and Tamryn takes a nap. Cheyenne lies there for a few minutes looking at the top of the tent not exactly ready to sleep at the moment.

(Please, let us be able to defeat Korin. All these Narnians are depending on us. We can't let them down.) She thinks.

She feels her eyes start to droop and she falls all the way asleep. Trent was thinking about what Aslan had just told him.

"Trent?"

"Yeah, Alan?"

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Just thinking about some things."

"Okay. Let me know if you need anything."

"I will. Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Alan turns over and soon falls asleep. Trent goes back to his thoughts.

(Aslan is right. What my father says should not bother me any longer. My mother would be proud of me and that is what matters. I will use this time here in Narnia to learn how to step up and defend myself against my father's attacks, both verbally and physically.)

He closes his eyes and goes to sleep.

~Tamryn looked around her more dazed, confused, and suddenly frightened. She could hear steps coming towards her. She barely sees something flash across then jump out at her. She jumps out the way and goes to grab her swords off her belt. She panics realizing the hilts of both swords were not there.

"Where are my swords? Why do I always manage to leave the important things when I need them the most! You don't need to take your swords, Tamryn; we'll protect you just fine. We got bloody separated!"

She sees the shadowed figure coming at her again; she runs for the forest when she sees a small gap in the rock formation nearby. She runs for it and barely squeezes in as the claws almost hit her. She screams and runs against the back of the formation. She trips over a rock. She catches herself as she falls onto the ground with a thud. She sees the shadow figure clawing at the rocks trying to get in. She squeezes farther back slightly more terrified. She notices a glint out the corner of her eye.

"What?"

"Get it and throw, Child."

Tamryn jumps the voice came out like a roar.

(It sounds like Aslan.) She thinks.

She pulls at the object noticing the gold lion's head on the hilt and reveals a throwing knife.

"When you throw this knife it will come back to you once the target is hit."

"A boomerang knife."

She looks at the side of the knife noticing something inscribed in the metal. She sees the words: Zealous. She quickly throws it at the figure and the knife hits dead on. She stands in shock before remembering the knife comes back and catches it. She climbs out the rock formation.

"Tamryn!"~

She sits up slightly unnerved.

(I can't take all these weird dreams. I don't even know who was yelling at me.)

She sees Cheyenne still asleep and quickly walks out the tent. Samuel sits up slightly panicked and looks to make sure he did not wake his friends. Certain that he did not do so, he gets up and walks out the tent. He spots Tamryn walking down away from her tent and quickly follows her.

"Tamryn, please tell me you have awaken due to a strange dream occurring."

"How did you know that?"

"I just had an odd dream."

"Was there this shadow chasing you?"

"Yes, I was running towards a beach and it looked like an outline of ship was somewhere in the water. I was running from this shadow like beast and my saber and short sword were doing nothing against it. I almost trip over something in the sand and see it is a dagger. It said Endurable and sounded like Aslan told me to use it in close combat, that it would destroy its opponents. So, I did. I killed the beast and ran for the shore; I think I was trying to obtain the ship's attention, but it just ended."

"I was in the forest when the shadow beast came after me. I didn't have my short swords and started complaining about being separated. I ran to a rock formation and climbed in. The beast tried to claw in after me and I tripped; that's when I heard Aslan say to take the object I noticed sticking out the wall. I did and it was a throwing knife that would come back to me after hitting its target. It said Zealous on the side; I threw it and killed the beast and started to climb out when someone yelled my name. I never saw who because the dream ended."

"Do you think it is possible that you were separated from me?"

"Possibly."

"But that would not explain why you did not have your swords."

"Actually, I think I was separated from you and I blamed you for it. I was imitating what had been said to me earlier about being protected. And the last sentence I said kind of in an English tone. I must have been upset with you, but there was a 'we' part also. 'We'll protect you' was the exact line. Someone else most has been there with us."

"No one was with me when I was running."

"Maybe that was the voice that was yelling at me in the end."

"Or our dreams could have been at different times. Maybe it was someone from the ship that I was going to flag down."

"That is possible."

"I suppose, we won't know for sure now."

"Yeah. It's just weird."

"Would you like to spar?"

"Sure."

Tamryn and Samuel face each other and spar for almost thirty minutes. They finally call the spar a draw as both felt themselves tiring slightly.

"Well done."

The two jump slightly and turn to see Aslan watching them.
