The Princess Cassandra Trilogy - Narnia Fanfic ✔

Part 5

When we got back to the How, Edmund said goodbye and then went to find Peter. I found Caspian sitting just outside the How watching the tree line, "Hey!" I said sitting down beside him,

"How did it go?" he asked,

"Miraz agreed but I think Lord Sopespian and General Glozelle want him dead for their own reasons," I replied, Caspian sighed before getting up. He helped me up and then spoke,

"I have a bad feeling about Lucy and Susan,"

"Then go after them!" I sighed,

"But-" argued Caspian,

"By Aslan's beard! Go!" I answered sternly,

Caspian nodded determinedly and then set off inside the How. After a few moments he raced out on a horse, "I'll be back soon, sister, do not worry about me," he smiled smugly and then rode off, toward the woods. I sighed at my brother's carelessness. The Narnian's started coming out of the How. I quickly went inside of the How before I heard a,

"Cassandra, get in here!" I quickly went inside the room that Edmund was standing in front of. Peter was wearing armour with a yellow lion on the front, pacing. Edmund rolled his eyes at Peter and then turned to me, "Do you know first aid?" Edmund asked.

I nodded, "My professor insisted I know it," I explained. Edmund nodded,

"Peter, she knows it," Edmund told his brother, Peter quickly came up to me and hugged me,

"Thank Goodness!" Peter whispered in my ear. He quickly pulled away. I nodded awkwardly,

"Try not to die!" I said sarcastically, but I don't think it helped, "I'll be rooting for you," Peter nodded and I quickly ran out of the How. I joined Glenstorm, the centaur, and the bear waiting at a stone area outside the How. I nodded at Glenstorm and he nodded back. I heard the Narnian's cheer and I turned to see Edmund and Peter coming out of the How. I clapped politely. Edmund stopped at my side. Miraz and a few of the Lords, including Sopespian and Glozelle were already sitting on the other side. I saw Miraz say something to Glozelle and he nodded. Peter drew his sword and stepped toward Miraz. Miraz also stepped forward and they began circling each other.

"There is still time to surrender," Miraz said,

"Well, feel free," retorted Peter,

"How many more must die for the throne?" Miraz asked brushing off Peters remark,

"Just one," Peter answered. He pulled down his helmet and jumped at Miraz. They began fighting. The two armies cheered. Peter and Miraz fought for a few minutes until Peter hit Miraz in the back. Miraz retaliated by knocking off Peter's helmet and then his coif. Peter looked like he was tiring but kept going. He swung low and cut Miraz's leg. I saw Miraz glance at Glozelle. I focused myself back on the battle. Miraz swung, Peter fell but quickly recovered himself. Miraz tripped Peter and stepped on his shield. Peter yelled loudly.

Edmund grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight. I looked at him but he was too focused on the battle to look at me. I looked back at Peter who had rolled out of the way of one of Miraz's swings. Peter kept rolling and blocking. He stopped for long enough to trip Miraz. Both get up as quick as they can. They were both breathing heavily. Peter looked over Miraz shoulder at us. Caspian and Susan had ridden up without my knowledge and Caspian was standing beside me.

"Does his highness need a respite?" Miraz asked, mockingly,

"Five minutes?" Peter replied,

"Three," Miraz spat. Miraz limped over to his side and Peter came slowly toward us. Miraz threw his helmet down,
