Hey! So this is the second part of my story, I hope that you guys like it! Oh and sorry that I took so long but the internet in my home was being stupid
Edmund rode as fast as Philip could go, not long in his ride back to the Cair did he feel a pain in his heart, one that told him to go back. To go and see if his family was safe or if they were still there to begin with.
He didn't have a long time to think about that though because no sooner did the pain start; it stopped, as if it was never there. He decided not to dwell to long on that thought he had more urgent matters to deal with then his disappearing pains.
When he neared Cair Paravel he saw something he wished never to see, archers lining up the high walls troops outside the outer city walls and siege weapons ready to fire on command.
As Philip neared the troops one of them, a faun, took one look at him and yelled "King Edmunds returned!" many sighs of relief could me herd throughout the Narnian troops.
As he dismounted Philip and practically ran to Oreius, the centaur was more concerned in what was going on around him that he didn't notice his kings presence until Edmund with his calm and soothing voice asked the centaur's what was going on.
"An invasion your Majesty." Replied a female centaur that was also the weapons master in Cair Paravel.
"By whom dare I ask?" he said with a rather worried look on his face.
"Telmar" said the weapons master with a rather disgusted look on her face.
"Telmar huh?" stated Edmund with a distant look on his face.
"Pardon me my king," Oreius paused waiting for his king's attention, and when he saw that he had it, continued, "What do you think we should do about this threat?"
"We will fight, and we will win." Stated the Just King with a determined look in his eyes, that unknowingly inspired the creatures around him.
"Yes my king!" yelled all of the war generals.
Soon after that with determination Edmund started off explaining his plan, the archers would stay on the walls, the troops would separate into two groups, the first group would attack head on while the archers take down as many enemy's as they could before they would step into battle, (the archers were taught how to fight, because Lucy ever the inner warrior, didn't think they would last if they ran out of arrows and had them learn how to us a sword) then the second force would back up the archers while the siege weapons destroyed as many enemy weapons as possible, while he would lead the second wave of troops General Oreius would lead the first.
"That's a well thought out plan my King." Said Nara the female leopard, who was also in charge of strategy, and battle plans.
"Thank you, Generals you have your orders." And with that the hurried meeting was over and they all went on to give out their individual orders to the troops in and outside the castle walls.
"Do you think that we will win?" cam the worried voice of Philip, as he gently nudged his human.
"By the lion I hope so." Whispered Edmund to his horse friend before walking to the armory to get ready.
"could you do me a favor?" asked Edmund while putting on his chest plats.
"Yes your majesty?" asked the kind faun already dressed in full armor.
"Can you put Rhindon, Susan's bow and horn along with Lucy's dagger and cordial inside the statue chamber." Said Edmund while grabbing his sword and walking out along with Tumnus.
"Yes your majesty, it will be done."
"Thank you." said Edmund while mounting Philip.
"Are you ready my friend?" asked Edmund
"As ready as I'll be." Answered Philip while walking over to Oreius who was busy telling the troops of the battle plans.
"Is everything ready General?" asked Edmund as Philip came to a stop next to Oreius.
"Yes, we're all waiting for your orders."
"Understood," said Edmund while facing the troops, "My people, these invaders seek to take our homes, destroy our forests and enslave our loved ones!" he paused until he knew that it sunk in and then continued, "We are not going to let that happen!, We all have the strength of Narnia in our veins and the courage of the Lion in our hearts, if we want the high king and our precious queen's to return then we have to make sure that they have a home to return to!"
With that said he started to gallop to the front of the battle and screamed Peters famous war cry, "For Narnia!"
And with that said the battle started and even though he didn't want to admit it, this battle truly was for Narnia. But they would be dammed if he let outsiders take what he and his siblings worked so hard to protect, he would fight for his people, he would fight for his family.
All that was soon herd were the cries of pain, and the sounds of steal against steal. And the worst one, steal against flesh. And that's how the second battle for Narnia started.
Hey, I'm really disappointed in this chapter, just a bit short and not super detailed but oh well. So the next chapter will be the battle of Cair Paravel! please R&R!
