"So what do you think is in there?" A Minotaur asks as I stood on the deck with everyone
"Our worst nightmares" Edmund answers
"Our darkest wishes" Caspian adds
"Our deepest darkest part our ourselves even" I add as well
"Pure evil. Tavros unlock the armory" he tells him
"My lord" he nods then walks off
"Archers prepare yourselves" he yells
"Light the lanterns!" Tavros yells
"Let's get ready" Caspian tells us all

I went to my room by myself and started putting on my amor. I looked at myself in the mirror, begging me to be brave once more. Many thought I was brave without fear. That I could look at anything and not be scared. But the truth is, you can't be brave without fear. It's the fear you have to overcome to be courageous. I have done that quite a lot, so I knew deep down I could do it again.
Caspian then walks in just as I finish
"Are you ready?" He asks me
"Yeah are you?" I ask
"As ready as I'll ever be" he tells me and I nod him a nod but he could tell something was wrong
"Hey hey what is it?" He asks putting his hands on my shoulders
"Nothing I'm fine" I shake my head
"Cora, I've known you for a while now. I know when something is up" he tells me

"I'm scared. I'm scared I can't be enough for Narnia. I'm scared I can't be enough for you, for Lucy and Edmund. For everyone" I tell him
"Cora, you are more than enough. Who defeated the white witch? You did. Who helped win the war against the Telmarines, the Calormen, every time there was trouble, you were there in the front. Fighting for Narnia, for all of us. I know you can do it, and I'll be there by your side" he tells me
"You have my back?" I laugh
"Yes I do" he smiles
"And I have yours" I tell him before giving him a kiss then embracing him in a tight hug

"No matter what happens here, every soul who stands before me has earned their place on the crew of the Dawn Treader. Together we have traveled far, together we have faced adversity, together we can do it" Caspian tells everyone standing next to me
"So now is not the time to fall to fear's temptations. Be strong. Never give in. Our world, our Narnia lives, depended on it. Think of the lost souls we're here to save. Think of Aslan. Think of Narnia." I tell them
"For Narnia!" The crew yells raising there weapons
I give them all a smile and turn to look at Caspian giving him one as well.

We start to sail through the mist as more and more come towards us. Moving in between us and all around.
"I can't see a thing. This fogs to thick." Drinian tells Caspian and I

"You're such a disappointment. I wish you were never born, I'd be better off without you" I hear my mom say and turn to see her face in the fog before shaking it off
"Caspian? Are you alright?" I ask him seeing sadness in his eyes
"Yeah" he nods
Then we start to hear yelling
"Keep away! Keep away!" A voice yells
"Who's there?" Edmund asks
"We do not fear you" Caspian says
"Nor i you" he resounds and Edmund starts to flash his flashlight trying to see where he was
Then he finally sees a old man on the rock
"Keep away!" He yells
"We will not leave" Caspian says
"You will not defeat me!" He yells and I see him holding a sword
"Caspian! Caspian his sword!" I tell him
"Lord Rhoop" Caspian says as we walk down to the bottom
"You do not own me!" He yells
"Stand down" I tell the crew
"Let's get him on board, quickly." Caspian says
But before they could throw the rope Eustace flys down and grabs him, putting him on the boat.

"Be calm my lord" Caspian tells her
"Off me demon" he yells
"No my lord. We are not here to hurt you. I am your king, Caspian." He tells him
"Caspian?" He mumbles turning around to look at him
"My lord? You should not come. There's no way out of here. Quickly, turn this ship about, before it's too late" he yells
"We have the sword let's go" Edmund says
"Let's turn her about Drinian" Caspian tells him
"Do not think! Do not let them know your fears, or it will become them" he tells us
"Oh no" Edmund mumbles closing his eyes
"Edmund what did you just think of?" I ask him
"Oh I am sorry" he says then runs over to the edge of the boat

Then the boat shakes cashing everyone to fall.
"Look. What is that?" Caspian asks
"It's too late, it's too late" Rhoop mumbles
"Gael!" Lucy yells as the head of the monster pops out of the water behind her
"Come here! Run!" Lucy yells grabbing her
I quickly jump in front of them with Edmund as we all aim our swords at the monster.

The fight had begun.
