CH. 10 (Telmarine war)
I walked down to a room in Aslan's How, a room that no one ever went to except me...
I held a torch up in the dark, silent, room and walked around it. I saw cave paintings like the ones for the kings and queens of old, but this time they were paintings off centaurs, fawns, griffins and different creatures who once participated in the war between Narnia and the white witch. I traced my fingers on the wall of paintings, I saw a tall figure with a fire torch in his hand, then I realized that it was Edmund... What was he doing down here?
I walked closer and tapped his shoulder, he flinched and turned around with an expression of fear. "Oh, thank goodness, it's just you, Aurora." He said. "What are you doing down here?" I asked. "I was bored, so I decided to walk around the How and I found this place... What's this place for anyway?" Edmund asked. "It's where the warriors of Narnia were painted. You see, Narnians only appreciate the king's and queens of old that they suddenly forgotten the great Antonio, the centaur who sacrificed his head for Narnians. Or the great Oreius, the centaur who served Aslam." I explained, I turned to a cave painting of me and picked up some dirt from the ground. "Now, this painting isn't meant to be here. This girl was useless the whole time, she did nothing when her friends were beheaded or she didn't do anything when Cassandra was petrified and smashed into pieces." I said and smeared the dirt on my painting. "She isn't a hero of Narnia." I mumbled, I suddenly heard a war horn and immediately ran out of the room to check on what was going on...
The Telmarines were here, I wasn't expecting the whole Telmarine village to come with Miraz, damn it, too much soldiers. I ran back to the stone table and the broken spear was still there, I grabbed it and shoved the two pieces together. The ice spear was fixed! I ran out of there and eventually bumped into Edmund, he noticed the spear in my hand and crossed his arms. "Excuse you, madame. What are you doing with that?" He asked. "I know what I said okay? I... I... There's too many Telmarine men outside the How, we Narnians aren't enough to take care of them all!"
I ran past Edmund and stood next to Orieus on the other side of the Telmarine king...

I felt my hand shaking as the spear's tip made the ground under it freeze a bit. "What's the matter, boy? To cowardly to take a life?" Miraz asked Peter. "It isn't mine to take." Peter held out the sword to Caspian. Caspian took the sword and held it up, ready to kill Miraz... Miraz mumbled something to Caspian which I didn't quite hear properly, Caspian let out a battle cry and hit the sword on a patch of grass that grew in the middle of the stone ruin. "Keep your life, but I am giving the Narnians back their kingdom." Caspian said, he turned back to the Narnians and walked back to where Glenstorm and I stood.
Glenstorm raised his sword as a sign of victory as every single Narnian cheered, I sighed with relief and smiled at Caspian. "That was amazing!" I muttered to him, then Miraz fell dead on the ground with an arrow impaled on his side. I looked up to Susan, she simply shook her head. I scanned every Narnian with a bow and arrow, none had let an arrow off. "Treachery! The shoot him! They murdered our king!" The soldier that was by Miraz's side yelled, the soldier plucked the sword that stood on the grass patch and rushed to his horse. Peter and Edmund turned to the archers on Aslan's How and yelled. "Be ready!" "Peter!" Caspian warned, Peter turned around and saw a different soldier with a Telmarine mask, Peter took him down. Peter, Edmund and I ran towards the Telmarine army, then we stopped when they started firing their catapults.
"CALVARY, ATTACK!"
The Telmarine soldiers started charging towards us. "What do we do?" I asked. "You're gonna fight?" Edmund asked, I looked at him with an annoyance and whistled. A griffin flew down from the sky and landed in front of me. "I'll fight from the sky." I said smugly as I mounted the griffin's back. "Let's go!" I whispered to the griffin...

After a few minutes of shooting Telmarine soldiers from the sky the griffin threw me off him, I thought that he did it by accident but when I saw him getting hit by a giant boulder I couldn't just stand there. I lost my bow from the fall so now it was just me and my sword and the ice spear.
I ran to the marching Telamarines in front of me and ran towards them. "Try me!" I yelled, I petrified one after another to the point where one of the Telmarine soldiers cut my shoulder. I let out a blood curdling scream and held my wounded shoulder with my other arm, I looked at the soldier straight in his eyes and petrified him...
The ice spear was causing me damage more than it was causing damage to the Telmarines, I snapped the spear in half again and watched as the remaining Telmarine army retreated. Glenstorm pulled me on his back while all the Narnian soldiers ran after the Telmarines...
Ouch...
