Caspian looks at the carvings of the Pevensies at Aslan’s How, not hearing Nikabrik walk up.
"Are you so glad of that magic horn now, boy?" Nikabrik asked "the kings and queens have failed us. Your army is half dead. And those that aren't, will be soon enough"
"What do you want?" Caspian asked "congratulations?"
"You want your uncle's blood" Nikabrik said "so do we. You want his throne. We can get it for you"
Nikabrik walks away, Caspian hesitates for a moment, looking at the carvings once more, and then follows, they enter the Stone Table room,
"You tried one ancient power" Nikabrik said "that horn, and it failed. But there is power greater still" looking at him "one that kept even Aslan at bay for near a hundred years"
They hear something, causing Caspian to draw his sword, and steps forward, ready for any threat that would come his way, a cloaked figure steps out of the shadows and starts slowly walking towards Caspian,
"Who's there?" Caspian asked
"I am hunger, I am thirst" the creature said "I can fast a hundred years and not die. I can lie a hundred nights on the ice and not freeze. I can drink a river of blood and not burst. Show . . . me . . . your enemies!"
The werewolf throws off his hood, a hag approaches,
"And you can guarantee Miraz's death?" Caspian asked
"And more" the hag replied
Caspian puts away his sword, and then looks back at Nikabrik, who gives him a nod,
"Let the circle be drawn" the hag said

A gasp emitted from Hilaria, feeling a disturbance within the flooring of Aslan's How, the Pevensie siblings looking at her in concern,
"No" she whispered
She turned around and ran, causing the siblings to look at one another, running after her.

The hag begins saying strange words, the werewolf draws a circle on the ground around Caspian, the hag pulling out the White Witch’s wand, and sticks it into the ground. Ice grows up, covering the image of Aslan and Hilaria, but within the ice wall, the White Witch appears,
"Wait . . . this isn't what I wanted!" Caspian exclaimed
"One drop of Adam's blood and you free me" the White Witch said "then I am yours, my king"
"No!" Caspian yelled
The werewolf grabs Caspian’s hand, and the hag cuts it, the White Witch sticks her hand out of the ice, and smiles. Caspian looks at the Witch . . . and then seems to stop resisting.
"Stop!" Peter yelled
Peter, Edmund, and Trumpkin run into the room and draw their swords, causing werewolf to crawl over the Stone Table and attack. Nikabrik and Trumpkin swordfight. The hag knocks Peter’s sword out of his hand. Edmund swings at the werewolf, causing said creature to howl in pain as it was struck. Nikabrik stands over Trumpkin, but Lucy comes up and puts her dagger to Nikabrik’s throat, but he twists Lucy’s arm around and throws her to the floor. Peter kicks the hag into a pillar and she falls. Edmund runs away, turns back, and hits the werewolf. Nikabrik looks at Lucy and hesitates, and then Trumpkin stabs him in the back. The Witch keeps reaching towards Caspian,
"Come on" the White Witch urged
Peter pushes Caspian away and points his sword at the Witch,
"Get away from him!" Peter ordered, causing the White Witch to fall back a little,
