A loud screaming echoed through the castle. I knew it was time. I sat up and stretched then padded over to Caspians wardrobe. Cornelius entered the chamber hidden in a robe. He crept up to Caspian's bed and cupped his hand over his mouth. Caspian jumped awake but relaxed when he saw it was his professor.

"Five more minutes, " he muttered and rolled onto his side.

"You won't be watching the stars tonight my prince, come we must hurry" Cornelius urged.

"Professor whats going on?" Caspian asked.

"Your aunt has given birth... to a son," Corneilus explained.

I moved out of the way as Cornelius opened the wardrobe.

"Come," he urged.

I head butted Caspian's shin and he looked down at me then a his chamber door. He hurried inside me following after. He closed the door leaving just a crack to see.

Soliders crept into the room crossbows raised. And they fired at Caspians bed. His eyes widened at the place where he had just layed. The feathers from the pillows and curtains rained down as Glozel realized Caspian was not there.

I followed Caspian down the steps to the armory. He suited up in an armored vest and grabbed a sword. A cloak followed. Soon enough he was saddled on a horse.

"You must make for the woods," Cornelius instructed

"The woods?" Caspian asked

"They won't follow you there," Cornelius explained.

He paused pulling out something covered in cloth.

"It has taken me many years to find this. Do not use it except at your greatest need," he instucted.

"And look for Crystal she will guide you. She is a bigger asset than you could ever imagine," he adivised.

Caspian nodded

"Will I ever see you again?" Caspian asked looking down at his professor.

"I dearly hope so my prince there is so much more I meant to tell you," he paused before continuing. "Everything you know is about to change,"

We heard shouting in the distance.

"Now go," Cornelius ordered nodding at me as I passed him.

Caspian trotted off, me sprinting after him. He ran out in to the courtyard taking out two gards as he left. We ran across the bridge as fire works went off annoucing the the birth of the child. Caspians horse reared up. Guards on horse back charged after us. We ran for a while until I lost sight of him. I changed to a raven and flew above the trees, I spotted him crossing the river. I flew through the forest after Caspian, he glanced behing him has a fallen log collided with his forehead. His foot caught in the stir up, his horse dragged him for a ways until he managed to get it free. He slid to a stop in the middle of Trufflehunters clearing. Trumpkin came out weilding a dagger followed by Nikabrik. I made my way behind a tree and shifted to my human form and stayed there so Caspian wouldn't see me. There was shouting in the distance of the soliders. Caspian glanced at his sword then to the horn that was laying next to him. Trumpkin looked down at the horn with surprise then at the boy infront of him. Trumpkin watched the soliders come in to view and he made a split secound decsion. 

"Take care of him," he ordered Nikabrik. Trumpkin ran off into the hoard of soliders that was the last I saw of him for awhile.  Nikabrik stalked toward Caspian as he reached for the horn and blew into it. The sound was cut off as Nikabrik hit him over the head knocking him out cold.

I stepped out from behind the tree and walked uo to Nikabrik.  I looked down at an unconscious Caspian.

"You know you could have been more gentle," I said.

Nikabrik smirked up at me. "And that coming fron you?" he asked.

"Eh good point," I said.

I picked Caspian up an threw him over my shoulder and walked Inside the tiny tree.

"Hey Truffle Hunter where should I put him?" I asked.

"Lay him on my bed please," the badger said running around the small kitchen.

"Alright," I shrugged walking through his door. I heard a thud as Caspians head collided with the door.

"Oops, sorry," I laughed and put him on the bed and walked out.
