Tamryn quickly feels embarrassed.

(Did he just kiss me? Why did he kiss me?)

She quickly gets up from the ground dusting herself off in the process.

"I better get to bed."

"Tamryn."

She quickly walks toward the girls' tent feeling slightly confused.

Trent walks over to the guys' tent after entering he removes his boots and lies down. He puts an arm beneath his head staring at the top of tent.

(What just happened? I kissed her and she brushed me off. Maybe she didn't like me the way I think I feel for her.)

"Everything alright, Trent?"

Trent looks over and sees Samuel looking at him.

"I'm fine. Just a lot on my mind."

"Like what?"

Trent rolls his eyes as he could tell this was about to go to some comment about him and Tamryn. He decides keep Samuel quiet before he can get into something.

"I kissed Tamryn and ran off about two minutes after it happened. Now, I'm not sure if I even truly felt anything for her in that way."

"Oh. It seems you two were always very close."

"Maybe because we were getting close as brother and sister; not as crushes or anything like that. Maybe we were starting to look at each other as in a protective sibling way."

"That is possible."

"Now, you say that. After all you've done is hinted that we should be together."

"I apologize if I have upset you."

"It's alright, Samuel. It's just that I have a lot more on my mind now. With this going on with Tamryn, the battle, and my father."

"Well, you have to focus on one thing at a time. You can try speaking to Tamryn in the morning. Your father will have to wait since you can't speak to him until we leave Narnia, so being distracted by him will not likely help you concentrate on things here. As for the battle, you seem quite capable with the bow and arrow."

"Thanks, Samuel."

"You're welcome."

They soon fall asleep.

Tamryn laid on her bed trying to sleep; she turns over letting out a small sigh. She couldn't help but feel guilty about running away from Trent after the kiss. Her mind was still trying to work around her emotions.

(I don't think I felt anything. Maybe Aslan can help.)

Tamryn's face flushes at the thought and mutters, "I must be crazy thinking a lion can help me with relationship issues. I can't talk to Rinion about it."

She quickly looks over at Cheyenne to make sure she wasn't overheard. She sees the girl was deep asleep already and lets out a sigh. She manages to fall asleep close to an hour later. She wakes up at dawn and sees Cheyenne still in bed. She goes out the tent and goes down to the brook and washes her face.

"Good morning, Child."

Tamryn snaps up wiping her face with her sleeve.

"Good morning, Rinion."

The wolf couldn't help but notice her tone was somewhat quiet, "Is something wrong?"

"Oh, Trent kissed me last night. Only I kind of ran away afterwards. I was up a while trying to figure out what is going on with my emotions."

(So much for not talking to Rinion about this. There's no way a wolf will understand my emotional issues.)

"You need your rest, Child. This battle will not be easy."

"I know, Rinion."

"I will stand by your side and fight with you for as long as possible."

"Thank you, Rinion."

"How did your emotions become confused?"

"What?"

"Your emotions, how did they become confused?"

(I knew I'd have to explain.)

"I thought I had romantic feelings for Trent, but then last night, he kissed me as I already stated. I became confused because I may not have romantic feelings for him. I am trying to figure out if my feelings for him are strictly friendly, romantic, or brother-sisterly."

"Maybe speaking with Trent will help you figure out your emotions."

"I guess it would help. Thanks, Rinion."

She heads up the path toward the tents, picking a couple apples along the way.

(I'm taking advice from a wolf. Never thought that would happen.)

Trent was walking around the tents before picking some fruit to eat as breakfast.

"Trent!"

He turns and sees Tamryn coming over to him, "Yes, Tamryn?"

"Can we talk real quick?"

"Of course," He says finishing the rest of his fruit.

"I wanted to talk about what happened last night."

"Alright."

"I'm sorry for how I reacted, but I got scared when I realized something."

"I understand. What exactly did you realize?"

"I think I love you, but more of brother-sister."

"I believe I feel the same way."

Tamryn nods and is about to say something when a horn sounds.

"W-What is going on?"

A tiger bounds by, "It is time to battle! Korin's army is moving close."

"So soon? I'm nowhere near ready. I haven't even practiced well on Straze."

"We don't have time, Tamryn. You are ready enough."

"I hope so."

She runs to the girls' tent and sees Cheyenne getting on her armor. Tamryn begins to put on her armor after a nervous breath.

Samuel walked through the woods not far from Alan but still behind Aslan. He looks toward Alan.

(The two of us will have to work together and back each other up.) He thinks.

He notices Aslan swish his tail and the archers disappear into the tree trunks with the griffins going into the branches. He was slightly awed at the trees moving to provide adequate hiding space.

They enter a grassy valley and spot Korin's army. Samuel gulps gripping his saber and sword hilts tighter. Korin's army looked so much bigger.

"This is your last time to surrender, Rebels!"

Samuel takes a few steps back at the loud voice, but quickly calms back down. Aslan growls barring his teeth, "Narnia will not bow down to a dictator for a moment longer."

"You want to lose the hard way then? Very well. I want all of them dead now!" Korin commands.

Korin's front line launches ahead. Samuel looks at Aslan and Alan.

"We have to hold them to a half point! Don't let them reach the trees!" Alan commands.

Samuel nods as he and Alan start to move past Aslan.

Alan sucks in a deep breath as his shield blocks a Minotaur from hitting him in the chest sending vibrations through the armor instead. He clenches his teeth and swings his sword killing the Minotaur. He moves forward managing to strike a tiger. He kills a bear while hearing a hissing sound behind him. Turning around, Alan sees a faun had killed the tiger which was close to attacking his back. He spins hearing a roar and barely hits a hag with his shield before nodding at the faun.

Tamryn strikes down and kills another wolf that had launched at her. She sees two panthers coming at her on both sides. As the panthers lunge; Straze rears up on his hind legs giving her the advantage to strike down both cats. She hears Straze's front hooves come down on a black dwarf effectively stopping it. Straze moves forward using his strength to knock away a Minotaur so that Tamryn can focus on another target. She spots Rinion fighting with a black dwarf.

(We haven't even gotten through the first half.) She thinks, noticing that half of Korin's army was nowhere near entering the fight.

Cheyenne feels Noliez tense beneath her ready to take off when given the command.

"I would suggest cloaking yourself before we are out of the trees, Child. That way, it looks like no one is traveling on me."

"Alright."

Cheyenne looks out at the battlefield again knowing that she would have to move soon so that Trent and the other archers would have a clear shot at the part of Korin's army that had yet to attack. She takes a deep breath waiting for the time when she was to move all along to Aslan's battle plan that had been created not long ago.

They had gathered at Aslan's tent after being dismissed to bed because the lion said he had something important to speak to them about.

"What's wrong, Aslan?" Alan asks.

"Korin has some spies watching us. The trees have reported his birds have been hovering in them watching you all train."

"What? You mean we did all this work for them to know our weaknesses anyways?" Samuel questions.

"No, this is not the case. I believe we need to come up with a plan that Korin will not expect. Unfortunately, for this to happen; you all cannot be practicing the plan and rely on your instincts."

Cheyenne shakes her head quickly moving away from her thoughts in time to see Alan's shield flick slightly in the morning sunlight. She quickly wraps her cloak around her making herself invisible.

"Move, Now."

Noliez takes off the branches.

Trent watches the branches and knows that the griffins have begun to move. He waits until the last griffin is out of the trees into the battlefield. The griffins begin to slant.

"Archers, ready yourselves!"

All the archers immediately load an arrow into the bow and aim toward the sky at an opposite and higher slant of the griffins, so that they wouldn't any of the flying beasts. Trent looks waiting for Tamryn's signal. He soon spots the slashing of her swords in an 'X'.

"Fire!"

All the arrows release into the sky at once.

Korin was grinning to himself. His spies had given him the perfect advantage and now Aslan and his rebels were going to suffer. His grin quickly falls as the sky turns black. His eyes bulge slightly realizing that the sky was not truly black but arrows were blocking the morning sun and falling perfectly to strike down a large sum of his part of the army that had yet to join the fight.
