Prepare
~Edmund's P.O.V. ~
I'd never felt so proud but scared in my whole life. We actually would fight the White Witch today. As I glanced over to the archers beside me we all quietly waited as anticipation but worry filled us all. I stood in Susan's place because she was still at the Stone Table with Lucy.
Still looking in the direction of the female centaurs I quietly asked Orieus's mate, "Have you done this before?"
She moved her head down at me with a slight grimace, "No. Orieus has always made me stay home for my safety. This time I choose to be with you my prince, but no. I have not done this yet."
I nodded quietly as I looked into the distance realizing the griffin was coming back for the news of whether the Witch was here or not.
But suddenly I remembered we were in a battle and I was here with my family. They welcomed me back ,even after I betrayed them and then they let me come into battle with them. I wouldn't let the Witch touch any of them. She couldn't and would never have her way anymore and if it evolved into me getting hurt in the process, I would do it.
No one would be hurt anymore because of me
This one day, I would be able to fight here with Peter, Blake, Penelope, and the Narnians. We did this because of Aslan, and I knew the Witch would get what she deserved.
~Peter's P.O.V~
Sitting up proudly I watched the distance as if suddenly the Witch's army would pop up out of no where but nothing came after a while. I had finally admitted it after sitting there for nearly 10 minutes in my own thoughts.
I was more or less worried. I didn't know exactly where Susan and Lucy were, Edmund was on top of the hill where the Witch's army would charge right up to and my bestfriend was right beside me caring for two people. Not just one.
Penelope could handle herself though, since she came back she had this type of aura around her that dominated power screaming 'I am a force to be dealt with'. Yet I still couldn't believe how she was alive and Aslan wasn't. He was what I needed most right now. I just wanted to talk to him or for him to tell me that everything would be okay and he would go on about the 'Deep magic' which he had told me about on the hill.
Turning around I pressed my lips together as I watched the Narnians and pointed out how many I saw in the camp have small children. Even a faun with his young boy came up to me before we left and basically gave me his life and said he would join me in any of my choices.
They thought of me as their ruler, as their soon to be king. A warm flush came over me as I smiled a little on the inside, I would lead them into battle with the most bravery I ever had.
Suddenly a screech of a griffin came into my ears as me, Blake and Orieus looked up. The griffin circled around and landed right in front of me with a grave look on his face.
"Sire, they are coming with numbers and weapons far greater than our own."
I pressed my lips together as Penelope climbed off of him, "It is true. There are many."
Orieus spoke up then "Numbers do not win a battle."
Penelope turned around quickly as if something was happening, and soon I heard a horn being blown in the distance across the field. It was a noise alerting us Her army had arrived.
"No, but I bet they help."
Silently I prayed that all of us would get out of this fine.
~Penelope's P.O.V. ~
My gaze hardened immediately as I saw hundreds and hundreds of the Witch's army come before us all.
Once the Witch came before us all silently I stared her down straight into her eyes. Fear didn't come over me. No. It was hatred and justice.
I knew that once her eyes settled on me, a slight fear came inside of her, but it went straight into disgust then. She had thought I was dead but no, I gained my powers unlike her.
Turning to Blake then I looked up into his blue eyes and the feeling was mutual. We would be together no matter what. I had already partially died and it nearly ripped him apart but I couldn't imagine if it was him instead of me.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Peter take out his sword getting ready for The Witch to make her first move.
A ton of Narnians cheered causing a slight smile to ease onto my face. I would go into battle with amazing people and animals, and that was how it was supposed be. The Narnians calmed down from their enthusiasm I saw tons and tons of the Witch's army suddenly charge at us. Out of the corner of my eye Peter lowered his sword signaling the griffins to come with the boulders.
I quickly climbed onto the griffin's leader's back beside me and we took off into the air. Silently once we were half way towards the army he turned his head to me "Now, mother."
Nodding I slipped from his soft fur feeling the wind take me but I landed smoothly onto the ground. Kneeling I placed my hands onto the moist grass sending thoughts to it, to prepare it for the fire that soon was to come. Once I felt the acceptance of the grass I stood hearing the Narnians behind me being led by Peter, and Blake. taking my wand out I made it disappear and reappear on Blake's back as planned while I changed into one of the most courageous and brave animals in the camp.
A cheetah which matched my reflection perfectly.
~ Lucy's P.O.V. ~
Softly I woke up from my deep slumber from being shaken by Susan. "We should go."
Turning to her I frowned "I'm so cold."
She smiled softly but her eyes darted beside me. "Where did Penny go?"
Turning around the only trace of her being here was a small mark of golden flecks from her gown. I lightly placed my hands on it turning back around to my sister. Aslan and Penelope had died. They really had.
When I had fallen asleep I had dreamed that all of this was a horrible nightmare that was too realistic, but they had died. I would never get my best friend back, or Aslan who I looked up to. i would never hear their voices again. My whole faced dropped as I climbed down the few steps leading to where Susan stood.
Once I reached her she wrapped her arm around my shoulders and kissed my head "It'll be alright, Lu."
Glancing back to see Aslan one more time before we walked halfway down the steps leading to the Stone Table but suddenly a large motion knocked me and Su off of our feet from behind us. Turning around to see what it was my face fell even more.
He was gone. There was nothing left except a large crack in the middle of the Table. "Susan!"
She turned to look as we both got off our feet and disbelief filled her voice "What have they done?"
Something golden reflected off of the sunrise then and suddenly a large animal stood at the top of the archway leading to the Table. My eyes got huge as a smile hit my face.
"Aslan!:
