《A Journey to Another Land》 Disclaimer/Chapter 1: Where am I Aslan and the White Witch belong to C.S Lewis Liz had beenwondering through the woodsto finda deer she had spotted. She had been walking for hours and now was lost. A breeze came through the trees, but unlike any breeze this one seemed to almost have magic in it. The sun was starting to go down and Liz know that is wasn''t a goodthing then suddenly she heard a voice from behind say " Don''t move." Liz stopped in her tracts and turned slowly. She saw bows up and swords ready. Liz jumped. She put up her hands. One of the men came over to her and tied her hands together. Liz was stunned so didn''t try to pull anything. Just when she thought the walking was over they told her to walk. After a few minutes of walking they arrived at a castle from there Liz was taken to what looked like a throne room to her. There sat a tall, strong, black hair man how lookedLiz''s age. He looked at her and said, This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere." Are you for Aslan or a follower of the White Witch?" Liz gave him a confused look then said, " Who are they?" He looked up, sighed, then said, " You must be a daughter of Eve." " I guess that what I am," Liz said a little confused but knew that a daughter of Eve also met human. He stared at Liz studying her. She didn''t like it soshe asked, " Where am I and who are you?" " You are in Narnia and I am Prince Richard son of King Edmund the Just," he said with pride. On hearing thisLiz straightenher back and looked more attentive than before. Liz had remembered her friend who was named Edmund. He had spoke of a place called Narnia butLiz didn''t believe him, but now she was starting too. " Untie her,"Richard said. " Thank you," Liz said smiling a slightly bowing. " What is your name," he said bowing back to her. " Liz," she said. " Well Liz you are welcome here, please feel free to look around and ask any questions you need answered," Richard said smiling. Liz smiled back then Richard left and told the guards to showLiz to her room. Wow Its Amazing Here! When Liz walked into her room, her mouth dropped open. It was quiet beautiful. Liz looked around the room trying to find clothes, for her clothes were very dirty from wondering the woods, but there were none. Liz left the room to find someone to make her some clothes. As she was walking through the Halls she saw paintings on the wall. She began to study them when she heard a voice behind her say, " Those are the Kings and Queens of Old." Liz turned to see and man with brown hair and blue eyes. He looked related to Prince Richard. " Hi I am Prince Nicholas son of High King Peter," said the man.Liz bowed low and said, " Pleased to meet you." Nicholas smiled. " Would you like to know about them?" Nicholas asked. " Sure," Liz said, " As a matter of fact tell me all you know. I am new here so yeah." If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement."Okay," he said smiling. So they walked and talked all aboutof Narnian history. After walking for awhile Liz said, "Well if theKings and Queens ofOld came when Narnia was in need thanwhy am I here? Narnia seems to be fine." " WellI am sure we will findout soon,"he said smiling. " Yeah," Liz said smiling back. " Well I have to go back to my studies, I hopeto see you around," Nicholas said smiling then turning and leaving. Liz finally found the seamstress and asked her for some clothes. Shesaid she would gladly make some. So after that Liz went to go eat lunch. She hadn''t ate all day andshe was hungry. When she came into the dinning area she was amazed by what she saw. Fauns, Centaurs,and so many other creators. Butthat was just the beginning. The food was amazing. Best food Liz had ever tasted. The only thought in her head was"wow this place is amazing." Challenged to a Shoot Off After Liz got done eating, she began to explore the castle. It was quiet big so there was a lot tosee. She was hoping she wouldn''t get lost, but with her luck she mostly was going too. She had been walking for awhile and of course she was lost. " Where am I," shesaid quietly. Then from behind afamiliar voice from behind said, " Are you lost Liz." Liz turned around to see Prince Richard. " I am afraid so," said Lizblushing. " That''s what I thought," he said smiling. "Could you show me around?" Liz asked still blushing. " Sure, it would be my honor," Richardsaid as he started to lead the way. Liz smiled. AfterRichard showedLiz around she thanked him than left for her room. She was hoping her dresses would be done by now for she really wanted to change out of her dirty clothes. Whenshe got to her room there were4 dresses one of them was a long blue dresses. She really liked it so she put it on. One of the places that she really liked was the archery range. She liked the fighting range as well but she wasn''t dressed in the right clothing for that. So Liz decided that she would see how goodher archery skills were. When she got there, there were four other people there. Three of them were girls that were around her age and a boy that was around her age as well. Quietly Liz opened the gate. It made a creaking sound. The boy and one of the three girls turned around. The girl smiled and said, A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation." Hello." Liz smiled back and said, "Hello." " What is your name?"The girl asked. " Liz," Liz said. " It''s nice to meet you Liz, I am Jane daughter of Lucy the Valeant and these are my two sisters, Mary andElizabeth." The two girls turned and waved. " And this is mycousin James, but I will let him introduce himself," said Jane smiling at him. Liz could tell he was somewhat shy. James turned toLiz and said, " Hi I am James son of Susan the Gentle. Very pleased to meetyou." Liz curtsied to all of them and said, " It is an honor to meet all of you." " So what brings you here," said Mary. " Well I was going to practice my archery skills," said Liz. " Well than grab a bow and pick a target," said Elizabeth. Liz would of grabbed a target by the three girls but there was none left, so she took the one by James. Liz picked up one arrow, put it in the bow,than took her aim. She release the string and the arrow flew toward the target, but hit the outside ring. Liz was not used to a bow like that. So she gave it another try. This time it was even closer to the bulls eye until finally she hit it. Ever since that shot she hit the bulls eye every single time even breaking some of the arrows in half. " Wow you''re good," said Jane smiling, " Even better than James I think." Liz blushed. James blushed as well. " What do you think sisters should we have a shoot off," said Mary. Elizabeth and Jane looked at each other and said, " Yes!" Liz is Invited to a Ball Liz blushed slightly. James smiled at her and said, " Don''t think I am going to go easy on you." Liz gave a cheeky smile and said, " You better not." After that they both grabbed an arrow. " Ladies first," James said stepping out ofLiz''s way. Liz smiled then took her arm. She slowed her breathing down, took a breath, then let it go along with her arrow. Dead center. " Your turn now," Liz said smiling with confidence. James stepped up and took his aim. It hit dead center splitting Liz''s arrow. James smiled. " Do you yield?" James asked. " Oh no," Liz said. So she walked up and took her aim. It hit dead center splitting James arrow. Liz turned and smiled at him. " Do you yield," Liz said. " No," he said smiling. The shooting went back and forth until Mary, Jane, and Elizabeth decided that it was a tie. " That was the best shooting competition I have ever seen," said Mary " I agree," said Jane and Elizabeth at the same time. " Well we have to go," said Jane, " It was nice meeting you Liz." " Your too," Liz said while bowing to them. There was a few minutes of silence between Liz and James while they were sitting on a benchuntilJamesfinally said, " Hey there is a Ball tomorrow, here is an invitation if you want to come." " Oh thank you. I would be delighted to come," Liz said smiling. " Okay good. So see you tomorrow. I have to go and practice my sword fighting skills,"James said smiling back at her. " Okay," Liz saidstarting to stand up, but James grabbed her hand and helped her the rest of the way up. " Thank you," Liz said blushing very badly. " Your welcome," James said. Then he left. Liz left the archery range then headed back to the castle for she was very hungry. When she got to the castle she found an apple and began to eat it. " May I join you," said a voice from behind her. Liz turned to see Prince Nicholas walking toward her. The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there." Oh sure if you would like," Liz said. Nicholas walking up and sit beside her and said, " You look hot." " Yeah I had a shoot off against your cousin, James," said Liz. " Oh really.Who won?" He asked. " No one it was a tie," Liz said smiling. " Well that''s new. No one has ever tied or bet James before," Nicholas said smiling back to her, " Goodjob." " Thank you," she said. " Anyway, I came here to ask you if you wanted to come to the Ball tomorrow night," Nicholas said holding out an invitation. " Yeah I will go, but I willlet you know now that James invited me as well," Liz said laughing softly. " Oh well here take the invitation anyway," he said laughing as well. " Okay," Liz said taking the invitation and starting to stand up, butNicholas as well grabbed her handand helped her the rest of the way up. She smiled. He smiled and bowed. She bowed back. After Liz finished her apple she decided she would go to her room and cool off. She walked into the castle and saw Prince Richard waving at her. Liz waved backed. He walked over to her and said, " Hello." " Hello," she said. " How is your day so far?" Richard asked. " Good and your?" Liz asked. " Okay but it could be better," he said slightly frowning. " Oh," Liz said. They continued to talkuntil they reached Liz''s room. " Wellyou look tried, so I will let you go, but first I wanted to know if you would come to the Ball tomorrow,"he said smiling. " Yes I will, but Nicholas and James gave me invitations so I don''t think I will need one," Liz said smiling back. " Oh butmineis a special one you will need it," he said laughing quietly " Okay," Liz said laughing as well. " Oh an by the way, that blue dress makes you lookvery beautiful," Richard said blushingthen turned and ran off. Liz was blushingas well and very badly. No one had ever complimented her like that before. When she walked into her room, she laid down on her and fell asleep to the thought of 3 men just asked her to a Ball. Evil Has Come It was the day of the Ball and everyone was preparing for it. Liz was still having trouble picking out which dress she should wear. She tried askingMary, Jane, and Elizabeth but they all picked something different. So Liz decided to go for a walk to get her mind off things. Liz was quiet nervous and stressed. She had been invited by 3 guys and was still trying to figure out how to talk and dance with eachone of them. Liz kept walking until she came into a entrance to the woods. She could hear music playing and it made her want to dance. So she followed it. When she reached the place where the music was coming from she saw people plays harps, violins, and cellos. They stopped play. Then Liz asked, " Are you practicing for the Ball tonight?" " Yes we are," said one of the players. " Okay, well please play on. It is quiet lovely," said Liz smiling. So the players nodded to each other and started to play. Liz began to dance. The music made all of her worries go away. She kept dancing until she felt a tap on her shoulder. It was Nicholas. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it." May I dance with you," he said smiling at her. The music started to slow down to a slow dance type music. Liz smiled and said, " Yes." So they danced with each other. To Liz, Nicholas was a very good dancer. He had smooth hands and he smelled very good. Liz let out a sigh. " Everything okay?" He asked. " Oh yes, I am just a little stressed," Liz said looking up at him. Nicholas was slightly taller than her. " Why are you stressed?" He asked. " Oh because I don''t have my dress picked out yet and there is only a few hours left until the Ball," she said slightly frowning. Oh wel-," Nicholas began to say but was cut off by one of the guards who came riding in and said, " Your majesty,blood has been spilled at one ofour camps. You are needed at once." " I am sorry but I have to go. I was very nice dancing with you and that dress looks lovely on you," Nicholas said running off. " Bye," Lizsaid softly then turning and walking back to the castle. The Secret Range After killing the enemies, things became more tense. The Ball waspostponed and training had began for fighting. Liz had beenone of many people who was practicing. She spent most of her time at the archery range. Liz was slightly better with a bow and arrow than with a sword. One afternoon while she was practicing James joined her. " Hello Liz," James said smiling at her. " Hello," Liz said smiling back, " You look quiet happy for someone who is about to fight in a war." " Yes, I love fighting. It letsme get all my anger out," James said. " Oh," Liz replied.After a few minutes of silence and a fewrounds of arrows James asked, " Hey do you want to shoot at my archery range that I made just for me?" " Sure," said Liz. " Great," said James, " But it''s a secret ranger no one else can know about it." " Okay, I will not tell anyone," said Liz half smiling. They went deep into the woods before they stopped. " This is my range," he said. " Wow this is pretty fancy," Liz said looking around, "No wonder you are so good at shooting." " Thank you. Today you are going to practice shooting targets from the top of that rock," James said pointing to a large rock about 40 feet away from them. Liz smiled and said, " Okay, but I might be really bad." They walked over to the rock and Liz took her aim, but something weird happened. The targets started to move toward the rock. Liz aimed in front of the target but when she let go ithit in front of the target. Liz blushed. " It''s okay," James said, " Try again just don''t aim as low. SoLiztook her aim. This time she aimedat the feet of the moving target. When shelet go of the stringit hit the head of the target. " Yes,"Lizsaid jumping up and down, " I hit it."James smiled then started walking toward her. Liz looked at him. James still smiling said, " But canyou hit it when someone or something is detracting you." Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences."You underestimate me," Liz said smiling. SoLiz took her aim, but then felt the hot air of James on her neck. She hated it. Trying to focus she shoot her arrow and missedthe target by a mile. James smiled at her and said, " You must learn to ignore everything around you and focus on the target no matter what is going on." " I tried," Liz said "But it''s hard when you have someone breathing down your neck." James laughed. " Try again," he said, " This time sound out my breathing and focus on the target." So Liz took her aim. Rightafter that James''s hot breath hit her neck. This time Liz did what James said. She was able to make the sound of his breathing go away where she could only hear the rope of the targets moving. She released and it hit the target right in the head, but then she heard another rope move from behind her. She ducked down then stood back up and shoot it. Headshot.One came from the left. She shot it. One came from the right. She shot it, but while she was shooting that one, onetarget came very fast toward her face. Shebent backward. The target barely missed her, but she bent back up then shot it in the head as she did with all the others. She turned toJames who was clapping and also was in awe. For he had never seen someone shoot so well. " Well I want you up shooting with me whenwego to battle," James said. Liz smiled and said, " Thanks." After getting all her arrows back Liz turned to James and said, " Well best be going. I still have to practice my swordsmanship." " Okay, I hope we can do more shoot together again," James said smiling. Liz smiled back thenstarted to walk away when James yelled to her, " Hey do you know the way back or would you like me to walk back with you?" Liz turned to him and yelled back, " You underestimate my sense of directions." Then she continued to walk until she heard James say, " Well your going the wrong way." " I know I was just testing you to see if you know the ways back," Liz said blushing and turning the other way. Jameslaughed then joined her and they walked together back to the castle. Love is in the Air When they reached the castle Liz said goodbye to James and went to go get something to eat. On her way there she bumped into Prince Richard. " Hello," Liz said " Hello," Richard said back, " Where are you off too?" " To get some food. I am very hungry. What about you," said Liz. " Same as well," He said smiling. So they walked to the place where the food was being served and ate. " Hey after we are done eating do you want to come practice sword fighting with me?" He asked. " Sure, as long as you go easy on me,"Lizsaid smiling. " Great," Richard said hiding his joy inside of him. They finished eating there lunch and headed out to the fighting arena. When they got there Richard found her the perfect sword. " Now I mean it. Go easy on me I am in a dress," Liz said smiling. " I can''t promise anything," Richard said smiling. So Richard taught her the basics and had a few practice rounds together. Liz caught on quick. "Well I think you are ready for a true battle," said Richard. " Me too," saidLiz. SoLiz ready her sword waiting to see who would make the first move. After a few seconds she decided to make the first move. She swum to the side then heard the metal hit together. Richard swum to the side. Metal hit again. Liz had blocked it. Richard smiling and began swing hard and fast. Liz block some of them, but she was knocked backby one. Now it was on. She came back toRichard and this time she swum hard and fast as he did. Richard block them. The sound of metal hitting together soon filled the room. They went back and forth at each other,taking breaks for time to time until finally they both got the sword to each others chest.

" Me too,"said Liz breathing hard as well. They both stair at each others and smiled. Richard began to lean in to give Liz a kiss but interrupted by Nicholas and James coming in and saying, " We need to talk right away. It is very urgent."Richard nodded to them then turned to Liz,who was blushing,smiled at her then left with James and Nicholas. Liz was standing in the fightingarena breathless. She was almost kissed by Prince Richard. She had never given herself time before to think about if she had really liked him but now she was for sure that she really liked him.She put her sword up and headed back to the castle for supper and she sure was hungry again. Talk of War WhileLiz was eating she was think about what Nicholas, James, and Richard could be talking about. She had heard rumors about war, but she hadn''t seen anything or heard anything about it. She finished eating and got ready to leave when she sawNicholas come in. She decided to stay a little bit long to see if he would sit byher and he did. Nicholas had a concerned look on his face and Liz noticed it. "What''s wrong," she said. " Nothing," Nicholas said trying to smile. " I don''t think so," said Liz. " Okay there is something wrong but I don''t want to talk about," said Nicholas. " Nicholas I think this is something you need to talk about. ComeonI am your friend that''s what I am here for," said Liz smiling. Nicholas smiled then looked around. The place was empty. He looked back to Liz and said, " We are going to waragain but this time it is far worse. Legions on legions of followers of the White Witch are coming our way as we speak and we are out numbered and not ready to fight." This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work." Rally the towns people it may not be much but it will help," said Liz. " We already have and we are still out numbered," Nicholas said showing much concern in his voice. " Trust Aslan. I am sure he will help us,"said Liz trying to give him confidence. Nicholas smiled. " And I will help fight as well," Liz said putting her hand on his hand. Nicholasput his hand on her''s then looked at her and said, " I am glad that we will have you fighting with us. You are very good."Liz blushed and said, " Thank you." " Did anyone tell you that you have beautiful blue eyes andbrownhair," Nicholas said smiling at her. Lizwas still blushing. " Well you do," he said looking into her eyes. They stared at each other, leaned in, and kissed. Liz''s heart almost stopped. When they broke the kiss Nicholas was blushing as well. They both smiled at each other and got ready to say something we the bell staredringing for 8 o''clock. " I best be headed back," Liz said still blushing from the kiss. "Yes, I should be too. I have to plan for a war," said Nicholas. He kissed her hand then left. The Search for a Spy Liz woke up the next day. The castle had a damped mood over it and it made Liz concerned, so she went looking for James, Nicholas, or Richard. After awhile for walking around she found all three of them, Mary, Elizabeth, and Jane. Liz looked at them and said, " Have you seen how the castle and howeveryone around it has been acting." " Yes," they all said together. "Did anyone tell them?" James asked. Everyone shook their head no. "Then someone must of over heard," said Richard. " Or there is a spy in our mists," said Nicholas. " And if so then how will we know?" Liz asked. " We all need to take turns looking for a spy if there is one," said Jane. " Yes I agree but where will we start looking?" Liz asked. " The Guards," said Elizabeth and Mary together. After they finished talking all seven of them went to the Throne Room and summand the guards. All the guards filed in. Nicholas had them all step forward, state their name, and what was there job was. Half way through the lineone ofthe guards by thename of Matthew stepped forward, said his name, and said his job was to see over the wild animals. Liz had been watching him closely. He kept looking around. Liz didn''t know what all the jobs were, but taking care of the "wild" animals seemed odd to her. She looked at the others and they seemed to notice it as well.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it After they finished going through the line and telling the guards that they had the day off, they turned to each other and said, " It''s Matthew." "Okay, but why would he tell the people about the war?" Liz asked. " To make them not want to fight because we are badly out numbered," said James. " Wellthis means we will have to keep an eye on him," said Richard. " Yes and I will take the first watch tonight. We don''t want him to know that we are onto him,"said Nicholas, " Elizabeth you will be after me, then James, then Jane, then Richard, then Mary, and lastly Liz. So every night you are to go out and watch him. If you see him doing anything suspicious report it to me, James, or Richard. Got it?" Everyone nodded. " Good ," said Nicholas. Liz Is Captured It was Liz''s night to watch Matthew. She only armed herself with a dagger, since if she saw anything suspicious she was supposed to report to the boys, and grabbed some food and water. Sheheaded outside to find out where Matthew was. As soon as she stepped out she saw him. He seemed to have a look on his face as if he knew why she was outside. Instantly he left. Liz was a littlehesitant to follow but it was her job; so she did. Matthew rounded the corner. A few seconds later Liz did. The street was dark enough that she could barely see. She looked around but couldn''t see or findMatthew. Then suddenly felt a kick from behind her. She fell to the ground and felt a sharp pain in her hands and feet from hitting the ground. In spite of the pain she got up right awayand saw Matthew standing behind her. He had a smile on his face and adagger in his hand. Liz grabbed her dagger.There was no time to get the others,her life was being threatened. Matthew started towalk toward her. Liz ready herself. When he got close enough she kicked him hard enoughto make him fall down. He hit the ground but as soon as he hit the ground he was back up.Angry was written all over his face. Matthew charged Liz dodged him back it wasn''t enough she felt a sharp pain on herright side of her face.She felt her face she could feel the blood. That enraged her. She dropped her dagger an ran at him. She kicked the dagger out of him hand then punch after punch she hit him until he grabbed her hand stopping her then he punched her in the gut knocking the wind out of her. She gasped for breath. She saw Matthew''s hand coming straight for her face then her world went black.If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. When morning came Jane went out to find where Liz was. After a few hours after not finding her she began to ask people if they had seen her. Some said they had seen he following someone around that corner. Jane walked over to where the person pointed. When she turned the corner she saw Liz''s dagger and blood on some of the stones. Jane run straight back to the castle to James, Richard, and Nicholas. When she got to the castle she found Nicholas, Richard, and James. " What wrong?"asked Richard. " Where''s Liz?" asked James. " Let her talk," said Nicholas. " Follow me quickly," said Jane. They reached the spot where Liz''s dagger and blood was. " This is Liz''s dagger," said Nicholas with worried look on his face. " And I am going to guess this is Liz''s blood," said Richard. " Here," said James, "There is a note. It says if we want Liz back we have to hand over the kingdom to the White Witch." " What are we going to do," said Jane. " We''re going to get Liz back one way or another," said James, Richard, and Nicholas at the same time. Liz Is in Trouble Liz woke up to being tied to a tree. She could feel the blood that had dried on her face and the pain from the cut. She saw Matthew talking to what to her looked like a talkingbull.They walked into the tent. A cool breeze came in the air. It make Liz shiver.Allshe could think about was getting out and telling the other about the plans that the White Witch followers had come up with but first she needed to get out of the ropes and get the plans. There was nothing sharp around her and she had dropped dagger. For now she would have to wait and see what would happen. After a few minutes of sitting and thinking about what to do, Matthew and the bull man came out and looked at Liz. Her gut turned. She knew something bad was about to happen. They walked over to her. The bull man grabbed her and picked her up. They began to walk to the tent they had come from. Liz wanted to fight but she knew it was a bad idea, but she began to think of a way to get out. When the entered the tent there was ice up to the top of the tent and a woman standing there. It was the White Witch. " Matthew you know what to do," She said. Matthew walked over to her, took out his dagger, and reopened her cut. Pain ran through her and she fell down to the ground wanting to hold the right side of her face but couldn''t. Matthew walked over to her and said whiletaking some of her blood, " Your lucky I only got from your nose to your chin other wise you would have a cut across your whole face." Liz wanted to punch him so bad, but of course she couldn''t. Matthew walked over to where the White Witch had her hand extended. Matthew placed the blood from Liz on her hand. She smiled and said, " Now we just need the blood of Adam." " You will never succeed," Liz said to her standing up. Matthew walked over to her and slapped her across the face. Liz gasped. She had had enough. She may not of had her hands but she still had her legs. She kick Matthew in the place the hurts and pulled the bull man down where she quickly cut the rope that tired her hands. Liz needed to get out and fast. The bull man began to charge after her. Liz couldn''t get out because Matthew was blocking the door. Liz saw the staff which powered the White Witch and took it out of the ground and stabbed the bull man, who turned to stone. The White Witch was gone and I was only Matthew and her. This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon." Don''t make me kill you," Matthew said. " I would like to see you try," said Liz. Matthew smiled and then throw one of his daggers at her. She dodged it. She saw her chance to escape. She took the staff an cut open the side of the tent and took off running, but stopped when she felt a sharp pain in the back of her leg. She looked and saw Matthew standing with no dagger in his hand then looked at her leg and saw the dagger in the back of her leg. She pulled it out and through it at Matthew, who was walking her way. It cut his arm enough for him to stop. She took some of her sleeve, rapped her leg, and lipped off as fast as she could. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ James, Richard, and Nicholas all set out to find Liz. They used a blood hound to tract her scent and it wasn''t long before the blood hound was offrunning. James, Richard, and Nicholas followed closely behind ontheir horses.After a while, the dog stopped and turned into the woods. They followed him until he stooped. They saw someonelipping. Richard jumped off his horse and ran toward the person. It was Liz. Richard grabbed her and laid her down. " Liz, can you hear me?" asked Richard. " Yes," Liz said in a weak voice. James and Nicholas joined Richard. " What happened?" James asked. " Will find out when we get back to the castle and if we don''t quickly we could lose her. She has lost a lot of blood," said Nicholas. They all started to walking back to their horses, Liz looked at Richard and smiled. He looked back at her, brushed her hair back, and kissed her forehead. After that Liz passed out.Richard got on his horse and James handed Liz to him. After James mounted his horse they took off as fast as they couldn''t without dropping Liz. Planning For War Richard laid Liz down on a bed. She was still passed out and Richard got the feeling if they didn''t act fast Liz was going to die. A doctor came in an asked for everyone to leave and they did so. While waiting for the news on Liz, Richard was pacing back and forth in the hall. " Richard, do you want to sit down?" asked Mary. " No," said Richard. " You haven''t even ate yet," said Elizabeth, " At least you could do that." " No, not until I hear some good news about Liz," said Richard still pacing. Soon James walked in and asked, " Any news on Liz?" " No," said Richard. " Where is Nicholas?" asked Jane. " He is making a plan to kill whoever did this to Liz," said James. A few seconds later the doctor walked out. " Is she okay?" asked Richard. " She will be fine," said the doctor smiling, "Just make sure she doesn''t do any fighting or things like that until she is fully healed. And yes you can see her now. She is awake." " I will go get Nicholas," said the girls. James and Richard walked into the room. Liz sat up and said, " Thank you for coming after me." " Why wouldn''t we," said James smiling. Liz smiled back. " How are you feeling?" asked Richard. " Better but my leg still hurts," said Liz. Just then Nicholas walked into the room. He smiled at Liz, kissed her hand, and asked, If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it." How are you feeling?" " Good, but my leg still hurts," said Liz blushing. " I wouldimagine," Nicholas said, " Can you tell me what you know?" " Yes. We were right about Matthew. He was with the White Witch and I saw her.I know she is dead but they have her staff which somehow able her to come from the dead in ice. I would of brought it back but I dropped it when Matthew throw the dagger in my leg. But one thing I know is their battle plan. They plan on coming from every direction. Surrounding us. That''s what I heard, there could be more I don''t know, but the could have also changed it since I escaped," explained Liz. " Well whatever they do we need to act fast and make up a plan," said Nicholas. " I agree," said James and Richard. " We should start planning now," said Nicholas starting to walk out of the room. " I am coming with you," said Liz. " No, Liz, you need to rest," said Nicholas. " I''m not asking you. I''m coming with you," Liz said starting to stand up. Nicholas looked at her and said to her smiling, "Okay." Richard and James helped her stand up. They walked back to the war room and began to plan for war. Trainning For War A few days later the plan was made and now all they need were soldiers. James and Nicholas went around nailing sign for people to sign up to be a soldiers.Richard and Liz went down to check on the armory. Liz''s leg was better but her doctor said she still wasn''t going to be able to fight. Liz wasn''t going to listen, she was going to fight nomatter what.They got to the armory room and check the supplies.Everything was in order. Liz grabbed one of the daggers and said with vengeance, " I am going tokill Matthew." " How, when you were told your not going to be able too?" asked Richard. " I am going to be in the battle whether I was told I could or couldn''t," saidLiz brushing her finger on the blade. " You sure are stubborn," Richard said smiling at her. Liz smiled back. Richard grabbed her hands and said, " Try notto hurt yourself this time." " Trust me I won''t," Liz said smiling. Richard kissed her forehead, smiled at her, then left. Shortly after that Nicholas walked in and kissed her hand. " What are you doing down here?"He asked. " Checking out the weapons," she said. " Your not think about fighting," said Nicholas knowing the answer to his question. " I am and I will," said Liz. Nicholas smiled and said, " I will look forward to fighting with you." He got ready to leave when heturned to her and said, " I am really glad to see you alive." Lizwalked over to him and got ready to say something when he grabbed her waist, pulled her into him, and kissedher. After a few second they broke the kiss. They both smiled.Nicholas kissed her again and said, " I have to go now." Then he left. Liz went over to the bow and arrows. She laughed. It had reminded her of the time she went shooting withJames and almost got herself lost because she thought she knew where she was going. Soon sheheard footsteps. She turned to see James. She went up and hugged him. He kissed her forehead and asked, Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit." Would you like to go practice shooting?" " Oh yes," said Liz smiling. He grabbeda bow and some arrows as did Liz and they headed outside to practice. Theyreached the practice range. No one was there which made Liz happy. They began to practice when theyhearda horn blow. James looked at Liz and said, " They''re here." " Thefollowers of theWhite Witch?" Liz asked " Yes," James said concerned. " That doesn''t make sense," saidLiz confused as they started back to the castle. " Let''s just hope it''s just some kind of warning to give up," said James quickening his pace. When they reached the castle they saw Matthew and Nicholas talking. Shortly after that Matthew left. Liz want toshoot him so bad, but knew she couldn''t. They walked up to Nicholas and asked him what that was all about. " Matthew said that if we surrendernow there would be no fighting, but I told him no," said Nicholas. " Do we haveour army yet?" James asked. "Yes, and a lot of people too. We might have a good chance at winning this," said Nicholas. " Then we need to start training them now," said Liz " Yes, indeed," saidNicholas smiling at her, " I will go round everyone up and send all the archer to you and Liz. Richard will train hand to hand combatand I will train swordsmen. Afterlunch we will switch. It''s good for them to have experience with other forms of fight besides what they are good at." " I agree," Liz and James said then they headed to the archery range to wait for the archers The Begining of the Battle While waiting for the men to come, it gave time for James and Liz to talk. " Liz, could I tell you something?" James asked. " Yeah sure," said Liz pondering what he had on his mind. " Since I first meet you, you captured my heart and it is true still tothis day. What I am trying to say is I really fancy you and I may not have a ring right now, but will you marry me?" said James. Liz was shocked but yet very happy to hear him say that. "Yes," she said smiling. James then kissed her. The kiss was quickly interrupted by clapping. James and Liz looked to see several menstanding there. Liz and James blushed then James said, " Well lets get started." Lunch time finally came. The archers seemed to be ready but the work would be training men who didn''t know how to shoot a bow. Nicholas, Richard, James,Liz, Mary, Jane, and Elizabeth all sat at thetable. " How is everything going?" asked Mary. " Good," they all said. " That''s good," said Jane. " We decided that we would teach women who to tend to the wounded," said Elizabeth. " Hey that was a good idea," said Liz. " Thank you," said the girls at the same time.They continued to talk until it was time to get back to training, before they all left James said, "We have something to tell you." " Who''s we?"Richard asked. " Me and Liz," said James," We aregoing to get married." The girl eyes light up and they said, " Congratulation." Richard smiled hiding how he truly felt and said, " Congratulation." " Thank you," said James. Liz could tell though that he was sad. Nicholas told up and quietly said, " Congratulation." Then he left. Once he was out of site he pulled a ring out of his pocket and said, " I was too late."Then headed off to start training more men.James and Liz started to leave when Liz said to James, " I will caught up with you. I forgot to do something." " Okay," James said.Liz went to keep up with Richardwho had just left. When she caught up with him she asked, " What is wrong?" " Nothing," saidRichard turning to her. This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there." I don''t think so. I''ve seen that sad expression before." Liz said. " Okay, do you really want to know?" Richard askedknowing theanswer. " Yes," said Liz. " Okay, after the war was over if I lived through it I was going to ask you to marry me," Richard said pulling out a ring," And if I didn''t know better Nicholas was probably going to do the same thing as well, but you said yes to James so I must get used to you being a good friend and nothing more." " I am so sorry. I didn''t know," Liz said as she took in all of this. She did like Jamesbetter out of the three but she did have feeling for Richard andNicholas. See Richard this upset made her feel bad. " Don''t be. Anyway I have to get back to training my men," said Richard leaving. " Me too," said Liz turning and walking off. " By the way Liz, James will take great care of you. I know that," Richard said half smiling. " I am sure he will," Liz said smiling back to him. When she reached the archery range James greeted her with a kiss and said, " There is something on your mind what is it?" " Well I just found out that Richard and possibly Nicholas were going to ask for my hand in marriage after the war was over and I feel bad," said Liz. " Are you rethinkingour marriage?" James asked. " No," said Liz," I just feel bad for them. I am still excited about marrying you." " Okay and I understand. I feel a little bad as well," said James. " Richard though did say you would take good care of me and I believe him," Liz said smiling. " I will," James said smiling then kissed Liz forehead. A few days passed and the day finally came for battle. Nicholas gathered up his swordsmen. Richard and James joined him with their horseswhile Liz commandeered the archers.The enemy was on their way and it wouldn''tbe long before they would arrive. Nicholas had sent out a small group of man to scout out the surrounding justincase the enemy would try and come from another direction. Meanwhile on the main front a battle was about to begin. The enemy had arrived and was moving fast. Liz waited until the enemy was in shooting range then told the archers to fire. Man and creature began to fall. A battle had just began. A Day The Wont Be Forgotten Soon a shout came saying "For Narnia and Aslan." All the swordsmen followed behindNicholas, Richard, and James, who rushed out onto the battle field. Liz and her archers continuedto fire were careful not to hit their own men. One man caught Liz eye. It was Matthew. Her angry raged as she saw him leading the army. She wanted to kill himbut unlucky for her she had to command her archers for now. Down on the battle field Nicholas, James, and Richard were beginning to fight. Their armor clashed as they rode through kill everything in there path. Liz watched from a hill as the battle continued. They were out number and it was her call whether to send the archersinto battle or not. She looked them and they seem to be tried of standing and shooting.They wanted to fight and so did she. She got ready to tellthem to attack when a scout came running up to them and said, " There is a small army coming this way. I was the only one to survive to bring this new to you." " Well done, but do you know how many there are?" Liz asked. " Around 300 maybe more or less," said the man. Liz knew that she was going to need help so she blow her horn to signal to the others that she need help. James took some swordsmen and went to join Liz. When he reached her, he asked, " What''s wrong?" " A small army is on its way," said Liz " From what direction?" James asked. " Behind us," said Liz turning. They could barely see the enemy. " I will take these men ahead. Follow behind but not to close," said James. Liz nodded. James took off on his horse. His men followed. Liz waited until he was a little bit ahead then started after him. Her archers followed. They reachedthe enemy and James charged them. Now there were two battles being fought. When Liz reached the battle she told the archers to put away there bows and draw their swords. They did as she requested. Then they charged into battle. Liz set her eyes on the leader. The bull man who helped Matthew. She killed everyone in her path that was the enemy until she got to him. The bull man smiled and said, " I remember you. It looks like you survived. Matthew will enjoy killing you onceand for, if I don''t." " You won''t because I am going to kill you first," said Liz angrily. At that the bull man charges her. She dodged him and stabbed him in the leg saying, " How does it feel to have pain running through your body." The bull man got up and swum his axe at her.She dodged again then lunged at him. He dodge it and struck her in the face reopening the scar on her face. " What is it with you guys and my scar," she said ignoring the pain as she lunged continually at him until she hit him.He grunted. Lizlooked to see shehad hit him in the heart. He fell over dead. Liz had won. James finished the rest of them until there was none left. A cheer rang out then James said, This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it." We must return to the original fight." Liz gather up her archers and started back. She felt someonegrab her arm.It was James. " Are you okay?" He asked " Yes," said Liz as she felt the pain on the side of her face. " Okay," James said picking her upand putting onhis horse with him. They rode off back to the battle where the odds still weren''t looking good. Liz jumped off the his and started to ran into the battle. " Where are you going?" asked James. " To fight with my men," shouted Liz back as she continued to run. James smiled then kicked his horse into a canter. They started fighting. James was going to go after the leader, Matthew. He started after his when his horse was shot.He tumbled to the ground but got up quickly. Liz saw him fall and was trying to make her way over to him but keep happen to fight people off. James soon started fighting with Matthew. James had the upper hand until one wrong move. He went to swing at Matthew but Matthewblocked it flinging James''s swordout if his hand. Liz was almost to him, but she was to late. Matthew drove his sword straight through James''s gut. Liz screamed. Matthew turned to see her standing in shock. " Well, well, well, look who survived," said Matthew. Lizlooked at him with angry in hereyes and said, " I am going to kill you." Matthew laughed and said, "And I was beginning to like you too." Liz charged him. Matthew dodged her, but Liz swung back and cut his arm. Matthew grabbed his arm, but lunged at her. Liz blocked it flinging the sword out of his hand. Liz swung at him, but Matthew kicked the sword out of her hand. Liz quickly grabbed her daggers as did Matthew and started fighting again. " You will not beat me," said Matthew. Liz kicked him and knocked the daggers out of his hand then drove her dagger into his heart saying, " oh yes I will." Matthew started to smile but didn''t get to finish it. She looked around to see the enemyfalling back. She ran over to James hoping he was still alive and he was barely. She grabbed his hand and said, "It''s going to be alright." James tried to smile and barely made out the words " Take care of yourself. I love you." He motioned her to lean down and she did. He then kissed her for the last time. Liz started to cry saying, " James please don''t leave me, please don''t."James took his last breath then laid there motionless and lifeless. Liz began to cry. She felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Nicholas. He kneeled down on the and held Liz. Richard shortly joined them.Richard and Nicholas began to cry for him. After a few minutes later Richard said, " We should head back now." Liz nodded. Nicholas helped her stand up and they started walking back Liz still holding tight to Nicholas. This was a day she will never forget. A New Beginning/Epilog Months had passed, James went down into history of Narnia as a hero, but now it was time for the Ball. Liz was very nervous. She was very bad at dancing. Liz put on her dress and made herself ready. There came a knock on the door. " Come in," Liz said. It was Nicholas. " Richard sends his apologizes for not being here but he is ironing out some plans he is making for the Ball," said Nicholas. " It''s okay," said Liz " You look beautiful," said Nicholas. " Thank you," Liz said blushing. " Well it is time for the Ball. May I escort you?" Nicholas asked. Liz stood up and said, " Yes, you may." When they got to the Ballroom Liz was amazed with how beautiful it was. " Wow!Who did all of this?" Liz asked " The servants," Nicholas replied." " Well they did a good job," said Liz as she looked around. " May I have this dance?" asked Nicholas. " Yes, you may," Liz replied smiling. They danced untilLiz''s feet began to hurt. " You know you still have to dance with Richard," saidNicholas smiling " I know that''s why I had to sit down," said Liz smiling back. After talking for a little bit and gettting refreshments, Liz felt a tap on her shoulder. It was Richard. " May I have this dance?"He asked smiling. Liz smiled back and said, "Yes, you may." They dance for what seem like all night when Richard whispered in her ear, " Will you take a walk with me?" Liz nodded. They went outside and started walking. " Do you remember when we first met?" Richard asked breaking the silence. " Yes, I thought you mean," Liz said laughing. " Really," Richard said laughing as well. Richard stopped walking then said getting on one knee and pulling out a ring, " I really like you and if this is too early I understand, but will you marry me?" " What about Nicholas I don''t want to upset him if he still has feeling for me," said Liz. " Italked to him.He said he would be fine and that he found another girl he is beginning to fancy," said Richard. " Well with that said then yes. I will marry," said Liz. Richard stood up and put the ring on her finger. Liz started crying tears of joy. Richard looked up into the sky and said, " I will take good care of her, James." A few nights later Liz couldn''t go to sleep so she started towalk around. While walking around she saw a lion. A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation." Aslan," she said. " Yes my child, I am Aslan," said theLion walking toward.Lizkneeled down on the ground. " Rise my child," said Aslan, " It''s time for you to choose whether you are going to stay here or go back home." " Do I have to choose now," replied Liz frowning. " Yes my child," said Aslan. Liz pondered the thought for a few minutes then said, " What if I choose to stay here what will happen in my world?" " Your name will change and you will not excise," said Aslan. " And if I go home?" Liz asked. " You willnever be able to return," saidAslan. Liz thought about it then said, I have made up my mind." Just as she got ready to answer she heard footsteps and turn to see Richard. " Are you okay?" He asked. " Yes, I just got a visit from Aslan," said Liz. " What did he say?" Richard asked. " He said I had to choose to either stay here or go home," said Liz " What did you choose?" Richard asked curiously. Liz paused then said, " I didn''t get to tell him, but I choseto stay here with you," Liz said smiling. " I am glad you did," Richard said smiling then kissing her forehead," But I think so should probably go back to bed. I think you will be able to sleep now." " Me too," said Liz smiling. Richard walkedher back to her room,kissed her goodnight, then left. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Epilog: Years later Richard and Liz got married and were blessed with a son who they called Caspian the 1st, a daughter who they called Lilly, and another son who they called James.
