Supreme Sorceress

"Edmund!" Lucy exclaimed happily, beginning to walk to her brother, Peter stops her, causing her to look at him, then back to Edmund, her smile slowly dropping

Aslan motions Edmund down and they go to the group of his siblings, Hilaria comes up to them, weapons in hand, placing her free hand on Aslan's mane as they came to a stop in front of the three Pevensie siblings,

"What's done is done" Aslan said "there is no reason to bring up the past with your brother."

"Hello . . ." Edmund trailed off to his siblings, not really knowing what to say

"Oh, Edmund" Lucy said, wrapping him in a hug

"How are you feeling?" Susan asked, hugging him as well

"I'm feeling kinda tired" Edmund replied honestly

"Get some rest" Peter said " . . . and Edmund, try not to wander off again"

Some time later, the children were gathered around the table for breakfast, Hilaria was playing with one of many of her caretakers, running away while they chased her, picked her up and spun her around, which would cause innocent squeals and giggles to emit from her. Aslan would always feel his heart swell with love whenever he heard her laugh or see her smile, which is why everyone in the camp had cared for her, somehow everyone made her smile, whether it'd be training, running around, or simply climbing the trees, all the while Hilaria always has bare feet.

Peter looked up when he hears another giggle emit from Hilaria, a small smile forming on his lips at the sight of her being tickled, wondering how that child could possibly be the other half of Aslan's soul, especially when she's carefree and innocent.

"Narnia isn't going to run out of toast, Edmund" Lucy said, seeing as her brother had been stuffing his face with toast

"Then you better pack some for the journey back" Peter said, turning to his siblings

"So, we're going home?" Susan asked, almost disappointed

"You are" Peter replied, looking at them "I promised I'd keep you three safe, but there's no reason I can't stay and help"

"But they need us" Lucy protested "all four of us"

"Lucy, it's too dangerous." Peter said "you almost drowned, Edmund was almost killed!"

"I didn't drown, Hilaria saved me" Lucy responded, looking at her brother "just like she saved us by fighting off those wolves"

"Which is why we have to stay" Edmund said, causing them look at him "I've seen what the White Witch can do and I've helped her do it, and we can't leave these people behind to suffer for it"

"Well I guess that's it then" Susan said, getting up from her spot at the tabs

"Where are you going?" Peter asked his younger sister

"To get in some practice." She answered simply, picking up her bow and quiver

The children had begun practicing with their weapons, Susan and Lucy were shooting at the target a good distance away from them, the bow string drawing back, letting the arrow fly, but it missed the target. Lucy pulls out her dagger, looking at it, the tip of the dagger now lodged in the dead center of the target, looking at her sister with a smile. Off to the side, Hilaria had been practicing with her new bow as well, hitting the target dead on as well as shooting down moving targets that one of her caretakers would throw up to the sky,

"How is she that good?" Lucy asked in amazement

"She's probably lived here for a long time, Lu" Susan said, readying her bow once more
