A/N: Hola Amigos! I'm sorry if this chapter is bad, I suck at writing fight/battle scenes but I tried quite hard so I hope it's okay! Also, of course, sorry for the super late update!

The Second Battle of Beruna

Peter's POV

The silence was deafening.

We stood there at the leeward mountain side of Beruna, quiet and hyper-aware.

My soldiers behind me were still, and though I could not see them, I knew they were all anxiously waiting for the sun, and for the enemy.

I took a deep breath as I noticed the sky over us starting to turn lighter, from a dark indigo to a lighter violet.

The sunlight was just beginning to spill over the land from behind the mountains that surrounded the valley. Slowly, everything was illuminated, including the massive army ahead of us on the other side of the battleground.

Dawn had arrived.

I squinted in the growingly-bright sunlight, trying to get a better look at the opposing army. It seemed that they had increased appreciably in size since the last we fought them, and I knew we were greatly outnumbered. They also seemed to have new beasts that I had never seen before, some that even looked like the one that attacked us in the forest some time back.

I was reminded of my first battle at Beruna, centuries ago in reality but which only felt like a mere few days ago. I was scared then, and all that time later, here I was, still scared.

Scared that I would let my kingdom down.

That we would lose, and everyone I loved would die.

I was a king, I was supposed to be fearless and brave and bold, but in actuality I was still terrified; and I hated that.

I had led armies and fought battles numerous times before, and of course emerged victorious, but this was different.

This had way too much more at stake.

I willed myself to forget about my own worries and fears and focus on the battle ahead; possibly the most important battle I have ever lead.

The time had come for this age-long war to end.

"How you holding up, Pete?"

I turned to my left where Edmund sat upon his horse, squinting ahead at the enemy-line as he too observed them closely.

I nodded, in an attempt to not only convince him but myself as well that we were ready.

"Pete," I turned to Caspian who was on my other side, as he looked me in the eyes encouragingly.

"We can do this. No matter what Peter, we are by your side."

"All the way," Edmund added on.

I nodded at both of them in gratitude and looked back ahead, taking in another deep breath. I had faith in our strategy but I had no idea what Jadis and Jadin had in store for us and from the looks of the past few years and all the trouble they had caused us, I knew I could not afford to underestimate them.

After a few more agonizing moments, the whole valley was now lit up.

It was time.

I raised my sword, gripping onto it tight as I said a quick silent prayer in my mind to Aslan to look over us, and gave my war cry to which my soldiers cheered on.

"FOR NARNIA!"

Serena's POV

Pete had just given the war cry, which meant the battle had just started.

From above, I could see our army charge forward, cheering and yelling on valiantly with Peter, Edmund and Caspian leading them at the front. I looked to the other side of the valley where Jadis and Jadin held up their swords simultaneously and their armies charged ahead, though they still stayed behind.

Cowards.

I could see the 2 armies get closer and closer, inch by inch from my vantage point, and finally the 2 lines converged, which meant the start of my countdown.

10.

My heart could not help but clench as I knew Peter had begun to fight.

9.

"Don't you dare die on me Peter Pevensie," I recalled telling him, holding his face and looking sternly into his eyes.

8.

"Yes Ma'am, I wouldn't dream of it," He chuckled back, before pulling me closer and holding me tight.

7.

I held onto him as if for dear life, and whispered all I could think of in that moment.

6.

"I love you."

5.

"I love you too," he whispered back, pecking the side of my head.

4.

"Ton Gresiel!"

3.

As I shouted to my dragons to get ready, I took a deep breath to ready myself as well.

2.

The last time I was in a war, I lost my home, people and family.

1.

I refused to let that happen again.

"NOW!"

All at once, my dragons, including the one I sat atop of, swooped down from our hidden positions of the mountain tops, towards the battle below us.

As we got closer, everything became clearer, the fighting and the killing. I hated the sight of it, the blood and the death, but I had to do this. I had to fight to protect my new home.

"Akina!"

I yelled to my dragon attack with her fire, but something weird happened.

As she let out a massive breath of fire, a bright blue glow emerged from the battle ground and enclosed it. The fire struck against it and just dissipated.

A forcefield.

My breathing quickened together with my heartbeat, this was never foreseen in the plan. Jadis never had such powers before as far as I knew.

Oh no no no no no.

All my dragons came to a still above the forcefield, breathing fire against it again and again but the same thing just happened every time. It just disappeared.

One of my dragons tried to go through the forcefield, but the moment she touched it, she let out a painful screech and I noticed smoke coming from that spot, together with her burnt scales.

Ice magic.

That was the only thing that could burn a dragon.

I gulped and looked down, there was no way we could help them now. We could only watch helplessly from above. I made Akina go as close to the forcefield as possible without touching it and looked down, trying my hardest to spot Peter or any of my other family members.

Finally, I spotted him on top of his white stallion. I breathed a sigh of relief seeing that he was alright, swinging his sword at some goblins. I also noticed Edmund and Caspian were close-by as well. Caspian looked up and shouted at Peter.

He must have realized the force-field.

Peter raised his sword and shouted something that made all the Narnian soldiers turn around.

That's right, Plan B.

"Come on Ella and Susan, it's up to you two now."

Caspian's POV

"Aaaah!"

I yelled, striking down a werewolf that had tried to bite my horse. I stuck my sword firmly into it, making sure it was dead before withdrawing. I held my fireproof shield close as I looked up, expecting the dragons to come down and Serena give the signal to us to shield ourselves.

Wait…that's weird.

They were just still in the air above us, and that's when I realised…we were under a forcefield.

That's what that strange blue glow was!

"PETER!" I yelled out, spotting him a few feet away. Luckily he heard me and turned around.

"FORCEFIELD! PLAN B!"

Peter looked up for a split second and then back at me and nodded. He raised his sword, and I headed back to the fort. From behind me I could hear him yell out "Retreat to the rocks!"

Oh Susan, please be ready.

Ella's POV

Oh god no, they were coming.

That could only mean Plan A had failed, and while I knew there was certainly a likelihood of that happening, I still was not prepared.

I spotted the first few Narnian soldiers retreating back to the forts behind the boulders, with the dwarves hastily opening the doorways for them as they were hidden.

"Hurry!" I yelled out, assuming my position and raising my hands up as I got ready.

I looked back at Susan who was perched atop a higher boulder, a small legion of archers behind her, and nodded at her to which she nodded back to signal that she was ready as well.

Once I spotted the first few enemies behind our soldiers, I took a deep breath and knew I had to do it now.

Oh Aslan please let this work.

I concentrated my powers into my hands, feeling them grow warmer in my palms as my fingers began to tremble. I needed every bit of power in my body for this, so I focused as hard as possible, a light-headed sensation coming over me as I felt my energy leave me.

No, I could not faint, not now.

Do this first, then faint Ella.

I knew this would suck up all my energy, but I did not expect it to be so soon. It was the first time I was doing this on such a massive scale, and I was terrified that I would fail.

Finally, I heard crumbling.

I felt trickle of blood roll from my nose, and the blood was throbbing in my head, but I could see it was working, so I pushed myself even further.

Ahead of me, the ground started to tremble and crumble, which made the enemies slow down and look around in confusion. They were losing their balance and falling, and while they were clueless, I knew exactly why.

Steadily, the ground got wetter and wetter as water saturated it from underneath, causing the soil to become unstable and mushy, almost like quicksand, as the enemies started to sink into the ground and fall, making them completely distracted.

"NOW!" I heard Susan yell.

From above me, a sea of arrows dropped to the ground, majority of them striking the beasts and warriors that were completely off guard due to the sinking ground.

"Groundwater, losers." I panted, my hands dropping to my side in exhaustion.

"El!"

I could faintly make out Ed's voice, before feeling his arms grab me as I swayed, my eyes dropping and blood continuing to trickle from my nose.

"That wasn't too bad," I sighed, leaning into him as I tried to gain my composure and overcome the throbbing sensation in my head.

"Come on," He instructed, one arm steadily wrapped around my waist to hold me up and the other holding his sword ahead of us as he led me towards one of the hidden forts, rather hastily as not before long more of the Sinister Sibling's warriors reached us.

"I told you not to strain yourself to this point; you just never listen to me do you?"

I rolled my eyes as we entered the fort.

"Shut up, I just saved your sorry life."

Lucy's POV

"Susan!"

I called out to my sister as I ran up to her from inside the fort.

"Lucy! What are you doing here, you're supposed to be inside looking after the wounded!"

I felt a little pang of anger as she said that, it was almost as if I was so useless that all I could do was drop healing juice into people's mouths.

"The Professor took over that for now. I wanted to see how it was going, can I help?"

Susan was currently shooting arrows from a high boulder down at the enemies who were trying to get closer. Her legion were spread out over all the tall rocks and boulders surrounding the fort, striking whoever they could see to try to slow them down as our soldiers recuperated.

"We've got this, Lucy go back inside it's not safe!" she yelled, notching her arrow in her bow before releasing it and hitting an ogre right between its eyes.

I frowned at her tone, feeling like some good-for-nothing baby that still needed protection even fer growing up.

I looked down to see Edmund running up to Ella from the rocks, avoiding the now saturated ground, as he grabbed her and held her very weak state.

Peter and Caspian were near some rocks as well, both fighting off a group of demon-looking scallions who were trying to disarm them.

I looked over the entire grounds, watching as some of the beasts struggled to fight and walk through the wet ground though our own soldiers seemed to have excellent balance and so the upper-hand. I saw my family fighting resiliently, and even some of the army soldiers we had whom I recognised.

But where were Jadis and Jadin?

They were the main enemies, they were the ones we needed to defeat to win.

But they were nowhere to be found.

I looked back to Susan, who seemed too focused on her archery to continue her conflict with me, which was good because I was not in the mood to be told to go and sit quietly somewhere.

My people and my family were fighting for their lives, I could just sit back and watch.

I looked around, wondering how I could spot Jadis or Jadin, or at least how I could help fight.

Suddenly, I spotted an abandoned sword lying at the base of a rock, not too far from me. I smirked and darted for it, seeing as to how there was currently no one fighting near it, just a dead goblin lying beside it.

Picking it up, I heard a growl from behind me and swiftly turned to block a blow from a gigantic ogre, who unfortunately had spotted me trying to arm myself.

It struck again, and while I was able to block his strike, it was too strong and I ended up falling onto my back, my sword still pushing hard against his. My arms were trembling, and my palms were getting sweaty which caused my grip on the hilt of the sword to loosen.

Oh no.

With one quick nudge the ogre had managed to knock the sword out of my hand, leaving me stranded and helpless.

Perhaps Susan was right…

I watched as he raised his own sword, his beady brown eyes glistening as he smile maliciously and got ready to murder me.

But just as he was about to strike me, an arrow emerged from his chest, leaving him frozen and wide-eyed. I could only continue to stare from my sprawled position on the ground as he swayed for a bit before falling onto his knees and then his side.

I was panting and my heart was racing, partly from the adrenaline and partly from the shock of nearly being impaled by an ogre's sword, but nonetheless it was all a frazzled dizzy for me.

I shifted my gaze from the deceased ogre to whatever had caused it to end up in that state and gasped, my heartbeat picking up speed if that was even possible.

Keladry.

A/N: Like, I said, not very good at writing these kinds of scenes! Anyway, hopefully you found it alright. If you have any constructive feedback on how I could improve this dynamic of writing, please please do let me know in a review! I would appreciate it deeply.

So yeah, Review! :)

Live nice and have a great day!
