susan left with lucy to try and find aslan while me,ed,and peter all walked out of the how,the narnians cheered as we reached the top and walked over to miraz.they both unsheathed their swords before walking towards the circle

"there is still time to surrender" miraz said "well feel free" peter glared "how many more must die for the throne?" miraz asked "just one."

peter pulled down his helmet and they charged.peters sword met miraz's shield and then he hit peter in the face with it,sending him stumbling back a bit.

they charged again and kept going at it while the narnians cheered behind us while me and ed shared a grin,peter went to swing his sword but miraz ducked and smacked peter with his shield yet again,leading to it falling off his face.

miraz swung this time but peter got a chance to swipe his leg and miraz grunted in pain,miraz eventually knocked peter to the ground and stepped on his shield,i winced and buried my head into edmunds shoulder,hearing the more detailed crack than everyone else due to my hearing.

"does his highness need a respite?" miraz panted "five minutes?" "three."

they both started to walk back and i went to help peter walk over and saw susan and caspian return but no lucy "where's lu?" i ask

"she got through...with a little help" she glanced at caspian and i mentally smirked "thanks" peter breathed "well you were busy" "you better get up there just in case,i dont expect the telmarines will keep their word" peter says and susan gives him a gentle hug but he hisses in pain

"sorry" she apologized "its alright" "be careful" susan tells him "keep smiling" ed spoke and peter turned to the narnians,putting on a fake smile and raising his sword,while the crowed yelled.

peter yelped as edmund tried to fix his arm "i think its dislocated" i say with a grimace

"what do you think happens back home if you die here? you know you've always been there,and i never really-" peter was cut off by ed pushing his shoulder back in place "save it for later" he said and came back over to me.

peter started walking towards the circle but i stopped him "peter,if there's anything i've learned during all my years in narnia,is that open wounds hurt worse than new ones" i whispered and he nodded "good luck" i smile and he sent me one back before i walked away

"what'd you say?" ed asked and i grinned "nosy aren't we?" he shrugged "i just told him some advice" i said and he nodded.

they attacked again and so far peter wasn't doing as good as the first round...peter got smacked in the face yet again with the shield and collided with some rocks which made him collapse on the ground,he swung his legs over,also sending miraz to the ground but they both quickly stood up

miraz lost his sword and peter took advantage of that,he swung his sword where ever he could,he swung the word again but miraz caught it in between his arm then hit peter in the face,they both grabbed miraz's shield but peter rolled his arms around his head and twisted miraz's shield behind his back,taking his arm with it.

miraz elbowed peter in the face and he let go,and threw him into more rocks,miraz attacked again but got a sword this time,but peter dodged it,he quickly glanced at me and then hit miraz in the leg,where his cut was and he yelled in pain,slowly dropping to the ground,i smirked,and inwardly cheered.

"respite! respite!" miraz panted from the ground "nows not the time for chivalry peter!" ed yelled and peter walked away but miraz got up with the sword "peter watch out!" i screamed.

he turned around,just in time as miraz swung the sword,he went to stab peter again but peter grabbed the sword and spun around,impaling miraz in the stomach as he gasps and falls to his knees and peter holds the sword up

"whats the matter boy? too cowardly to take a life?" miraz asked as he saw peters hesitation "its not mine to take" peter handed the sword to caspian and he took it,raising it above his head

"perhaps i was wrong,maybe you do have the makings of a telmarine king after all" miraz bowed his head and caspian let out a cry as he brought the sword down and stabbed a patch of grass

"not one like you" caspian said "keep your life,but i am giving the narnians back their kingdom" with that caspian walked over to us and everyone cheered,i smiled and ran up to him,embracing him in a hug which he returned "and that is narnians first telmarine king I'm talking about" i whisper before i let go.

we heard grunting and looked over to see miraz with one of susan's arrows in his back,i look towards her but she just sends me a confused and panicked face while shrugging

"treachery! they shot him! they murdered our king!" sopespian yelled "be ready"peter shouted at us "peter!" caspian called out and peter killed a soldier as he ran over.

"go!" caspian got on destier and rode into the how as they set off the catapults,then the army started running towards us

"archers to the ready!" susan shouted "one...two" peter started "three...four" i heard caspian say from underneath us "five...six" i followed

"take your aim!" susan yelled again "seven" "eight...nine get ready!" peter shouted once more "nowww!"

and just like planned a huge ditched formed between us and the telmarines "now!" susan and the other archers fired the arrows,killing more than several soldiers.

"chargeeee!" with that,we're back into battle once again,except this time,i plan to win.
