On a world that's far too vast, it's nearly too exhausting to bear. But I was able to meet someone like you... ~Saen Lahn Nae Tee (One Hundred Billion Minutes), Bell Supool

It was dawn once again. Amy lost count ー for now ー as to how many days she'd been here in Narnia. But she wasn't exactly counting as her days had always been busy with helping the Narnians with all that was needed for the battle against the Telmarines.

A battle that she had a feeling would be something hard for Prince Caspian. But this was a battle that was needed to happen. It had been so long since Narnia was living peacefully. Pulling out the source of the chaos ー at least the biggest part of it ー was something that was needed to be done.

Like what she had done for many days now, she woke up early despite sleeping late due to getting busy with other things. Or should she say, worrying about other things? Yes, getting worried had always been a part of her, she guessed. It wasn't something that she could easily remove from her system.

But then again, who was she fooling?

Taking her daggers, her long bow & the quiver of arrows and hoisting them all up to her body, Amy headed to the place she went to yesterday ー near the top of Aslan's How. She had to go there and keep watch for any intruders, just like what she did yesterday. Switching places with one of the soldiers that stood guard there the whole night, she soon sat on the only boulder there and became alert almost at once.

She had to be alert, since she had a feeling that the Telmarines could become more aggressive in spying and dealing with the Narnians after what she did to shoot down one of their spies. A sigh escaped her lips at the thought of the inevitable war that she had to deal with, together with the Narnians. But perhaps she should think about that later. As of this moment, defending this place should be her top priority.

"You're up quite early, Your Majesty."

Amy immediately turned to the source of that voice. It didn't take her long to notice Reepicheep approaching ever lightly. She smiled and sat on the boulder once again.

"It has been a habit, I guess. Until I make sure that the Narnians would be protected and would live safe once again, I don't think I'd be able to sleep longer than this."

"But it is a must that you prioritize your health, as well. We are about to embark on an uncertain war, after all."

"I know that." She sighed not long after and looked at the horizon in which the sun was starting to rise. "It's the start of a new day once again. I hope today, we'd find a way to finish this chaos in this world."

"And we'll be able to do that, Your Majesty. It will happen with your help and that of the other Kings and Queens. We have always believed that we can."

She couldn't help smiling at those words. This little mouse's faith sure was unwavering and incredible in this situation. How she wished she was like that, too.

"But you went here without having eaten anything. Should I ask someone to bring you something to eat while you're here?" Reepicheep inquired that broke the silence.

Amy only nodded when she recalled that she did go here without eating anything just to start the day right. With that, the warrior mouse strode (or crawled) towards the How. As for her, she watched the rising of the sun while remaining alert for any possible intruder.

But then she frowned as she heard a shout coming a little far behind me. Before she knew it, a sword came flying about and was about to fall to where she was standing. It didn't take her long to take a few and fast steps back in order to avoid it. She didn't have any plans of getting stabbed this early, you know?
