Chapter Eleven - See Him now
We saw them coming and aimed both of us taking shots we killed two and ready for another one. We used our bows when the came too close but one went passed me and i was momentarily distracted to get him to the ground.
"argh" Caspian had arrived and took two of them out i breathed heavily
"sure you don't need that horn" he joked i rolled my eyes and grabbed my horse. when i was on we rode back to the howe. When we arrived back i slowed down. Peter saw us arriving. swinging down i walked over. Edmund was bringing his brother back.
"Lucy? Alessandra?"
"they got through...with a little help" Susan informed him and looked at Caspian.
"thanks"
"well the both of you were busy"
"You both better get up there just in case. I don't expect the Telmarines will keep their word." I hugged Edmund and kissed his cheek.
"Keep smiling" Edmund said as we left, the Narnian's cheered. We made our way up to the archers. I watched as Peter stood up and everyone cheered. i shared a look with Susan and the started battling again.
It was brutal and i noticed he was using some of the manoeuvres i did. Maybe he was watching after all. Peter hit Miraz's knee and he went down. i couldn't here what was being said but Peter began to walk away. and Miraz took that chance to try and do a sneak attack.
Edmund must have warned him because Peter Swung around grabbed his sword and stabbed him. sending him to his knees. He stood ready to end it but held out the sword and giving it to Caspian. He took it and Caspian let out a scream plunging it into a soft grass part. Glenstorm held up his sword signalling we had won. the Narnian's cheered as Caspian walked back.
"treachery, They shot him. They shot out King" One of them shouted i could just make out one of Susan's red arrows and my Gold arrows sticking out. I knew she hadn't shot it as well as me it was one they must have had from a earlier attack.
"Be Ready" Peter shouted and we all took our stances
"Peter!" Caspian yelled pointing. a Telmarine went to attack Peter but he defended and killed him. Caspian got on his horse and waited. They started with the catapults each hitting a different place. They sent in the cavalry who began charging at us.
"Archers to the ready" i yelled taking a arrow. When Caspian and Glenstorm galloped in we waited the trumped sounded and i started counting.
"1......2......3........4........5......6.... Take your aim" i shouted and pulled back "7....8.....9...."
"stay with them" Trumpkin ordered. We watched as the ground caved in and the horses with their soldiers
"Now!" We let our arrows go.
"Archers to the eagles" i ordered some of them went to the eagles
"take ready" we loaded our bows again as others below charged.
"Take aim!" we picked a telmarine
"fire" i yelled we let another round of arrows. they hit their targets, as another battalion marched, Peter looked at up and we knew what he was asking. We shook our heads.
"Back to the howe" Narnian's headed towards us from both sides. They then aimed for the how on purpose.
"Brace yourselves" Susan shouted one of them knocked the edge where i was standing and i slipped off. Instead of screaming i flipped in the air and relaxed my body as i willed myself to land on my feet. When i did and ran towards the boys who were looking up. Susan was being held by trumpkin who swung her over and she landed. coming down she joined us so did Edmund.
"thank Aslan you're alright" he breathed
"for now i am" i put my bow back and took out my sword. We all looked at each other before charging back in and fighting i picked up another sword and did the double. I swung my sword round when the ground began to rumble the trees woke up and started moving.
"they did it" i sighed in relief. I watched as the roots took care of the catapults now we had the advantage.
"For Aslan" Peter yelled and we started running towards victory. The Telmarines knew they were on the loosing side and ran to the river. We followed when we reached them they were surrounded they stopped and from where we were I saw Lucy and Alessandra walking up. They stopped and took out their daggers. Telmarines must have thought nothing of it till Aslan himself walked up standing between the two. They made their way into the water and One of the Lords screamed
"Charge" the started running but i just grinned. Aslan roared sending shockwaves which caused them to stop. The Telmarines were looking around and i knew something was happening. My eyes caught sight of a figure building from water it came forward and nodded before lifting the bridge up. Telmarines who wanted to live jumped off the bridge soon it was only the Lord on his horse but the river god soon finished him. There was a huge splash as the river calmed down. Once it did we walked across and coming up to Aslan we kneeled in respect.
"Rise Kings and Queen's of Narnia" We did smiling
"all of you" we looked and Caspian was still kneeling.
"i do not think i am ready" he told the Lion
"it is for that reason i know you are" Caspian stood up sad music played as we looked back and parted. Reepicheep. Lucy went to his side. taking out her cordial she let a drop of the fire flower heal him he took long breaths as he woke up.
"thank you your majesty thank you." he then noticed Aslan
"Hail Aslan it is a great honour to be in..." he stumbled and it was then i noticed he tail had ben cut off
"oh i am completely out of countenance. I must crave your indulgence for appearing in this unseemly fashion" he looked up to Lucy. "perhaps a drop more?"
"i don't think it does that" she replied
"you could have a go" i hid my laughed but Aslan chuckled
"it becomes you well small one"
"all the same great King i regret that i must withdraw, for a tail is the honour and glory of a mouse."
"perhaps you think too much of your honour, friend"
"well its not just the honour its also the balance and climbing, and grabbing things" he listed Aslan looked at me and Lucy i gave him the look of it would be rude not to
"may it please your high majesty will not bare the shame wearing an honour denied to our chief" one of the other mice held a sword to his tail as did others
"not for the sake of your honour but for the love of your people" Reepicheep tail grew back and he grabbed it turning around
"oh Look! thank you my liege. i will treasure it always. from this day onward it will suffer as a huge reminder of a huge humility" i started laughing
"now where is this dear little friend you've told me so much about?" we all looked over to Trumpkin who was bringing in the Telmarines. he came over and knelt before him, Aslan roared and he jumped.
"do you see him now?" Lu asked he gave a nervous smile.
