~*~*~*~

Finally we were able to take off our coats. The warm air dying us as we walked. I looked down at the sword on my side, was I really worthy of this?

After some time walking I could see a big grass field, tents, and all types of animals. It was the camp where our army was waiting. We all started to walk through as everyone stared at us in awe.
"Why are they all staring at us?" Susan asks
"Maybe they think you look funny" Lucy tells her with a smirk on her face
"Maybe because we're in the blimey prophecy Susan" I chuckle quietly

We walk forward some more until we come to a stop in front of a centaur. Then I heard Peter draw his sword raising it in the air.
"We have come to see Aslan" he tells him and the crowd breaks out into gasp and mumbling. But the centaur pays no attention to them and turns his attention to the tent, in which everyone dropped to their knees.

I watched as Aslan stepped out, his power almost radiating from him. When he stopped in front of us we all kneeled down.
"Welcome, Peter, son of adam. Welcome, Susan Lucy daughters of Eve. Welcome, Cora, daughter of Nehemiah. And welcome to you, beavers. You have my thanks. But where is the fifth?" Aslan asks
We all stood from our position.
"That's why we're here sir. We need your help" Peter tells him
"We had a little trouble along the way" Susan adds.
"Our brother has been taken by the white witch" Peter tells him
"Captured? How could this happen?" Aslan asks us
"He betrayed them, your majesty" Mr. Beaver speaks up as none of us dared say it
"Then he has betrayed us all!" The centaur yells
"Peace Oreius. I'm sure there's an explanation" Aslan says
"It's my fault, I told them I would protect them all but I failed" I speak up first
"No it's my fault, really. I was too hard on him" Peter says
"We all were" Susan says grabbing Peter's arm
"Sir, he's our brother" Lucy tells him
"I know, dear one. But that only makes the betrayal all the worse. This may be harder than you think" he tells us all

After we settled into camp, which was very quickly. I walked up a hill to spend a few minutes alone. As I sat I stared at the sword in my hands.
"What you hold there is very powerful. Treat it with care" Aslan says walking up next to me
But when I don't understand he turns to look at me
"You doubt the prophecy?" He asks me
"No sir. I doubt myself" I tell him honestly
"Why so?" He asks me
"I've been alone all my life, and when I finally have a chance to protect the people I call family, I fail. I'm not who you think I am, I'm not a hero, I'm just a girl who's had nothing but pain growing up" I tell him
"Now Cora may I ask you this? Is it you that you doubt? Or is it the voices telling you that you're not enough that make you doubt?" He asks me

But I couldn't bring myself to speak, I knew the answer, it was the voices. My mother always told me I wasn't enough and once you're told something for so long, you're lead to believe it yourself.

"We all have a choice in the end, you have a powerful gift that you do not know of yet. It's your choice whether to seek it out, or to let it fall away." He tells me

Before I could answer this time I heard a horn ring through the air
"Susan!" I yell jumping up running towards the noise
I had gotten there the same time as Peter, we both draw our swords pointing it at them.
"Get back!" Peter tells them
"Get away from them!" I yell as they all start to circle us, barking loudly
"Come on, we've already been through this before. We both know you haven't got it in you" the wolf tells Peter
"Cora look out!" Susan yells
I turn around to see a wolf jumping at me, I quickly swing my sword hitting it in the stomach. Not killing it but just slowing it down. It falls down and before it could get back up Aslan puts his paw on it.

The centaurs and fauns raise their weapons ready to fight.
"No! Stay your weapons. This is Peter's battle" Aslan says and I put my sword down as well
"You may think you're a king. But you're going to die like a dog!" The wolf yells
"Look out!" Susan and Lucy both yell as it charges at him, jumping up at his chest.
Susan and Lucy jump down as we all run over to him. We push the now dead wolf off of him to reveal his very shocked face.
"After him. He'll lead you to Edmund" Aslan tells his warriors
"Peter. Clean your sword" Aslan says and Peter was quick to listen
He puts his sword in the ground as Aslan raises his paw over his shoulder.
"Rise, Sir Peter Wolfs-bane, Knight of Narnia" he says as a big smile forms on my face watching Peter

Then I felt a nudge to my side, I look at Lucy who just nods over to Aslan, who was looking at me.
I pull out my sword and put it into the ground then kneel just like Peter did.
"Rise, Miss Cora, Warrior of Narnia" he says putting his paw over my shoulder.

As I rose I couldn't help but keep a big smile on my face. I don't know what's coming, but I'm ready for it.
