TWO GRYPHONS dove towards the Witch, who swiftly slashed at one and turned the other into stone, smashing it into pieces against a boulder. Eliza had joined the battlefield and clashed swords with an odd looking beast. The girl dodged the blade of his sword and she jabbed the back of his knees with her weapon. The creature fell as Peter looked toward Edmund who was fighting another beast only meters away.

"EDMUND," Peter yelled in desperation, as Edmund looked up while Eliza covered the boy so he could listen, "There's too many! Get out of here! Get the girls and get them home!". Eliza knocked a faun from the opposition to the floor.

"You heard him!" Mr Beaver shouted over the chaos, "Let's go!". The beaver began to drag Edmund away and reached to drag Eliza too. The girl merely batted his paw away and continued to fight unknowingly, as the Witch advanced towards Peter, who was oblivious to her presence.

Mr Beaver looked frustrated , "Peter said get out of here!" The creature yelled.

Edmund gulped, "Peter's not king yet." He said calmly, rushing down the hill, jumping next to the Witch and bringing his sword down on the Witch's wand, smashing it to splinters. A flash of blue light temporarily blinds everyone within in a mile distance. Eliza turned, with her sword in air, as Edmund paused, giving the Witch the advantage to rid him of his shield.

Peter turned towards the chaos, as Eliza struggled to reach him due to being cut on the leg by an opposing creatures sword that she soon knocked unconscious with the butt of the sword. The girl turned back just in time to see the Witch stab him with the remains of her wand.

"EDMUND!" Eliza screeched, watching as her brother collapse onto the grass. The girl went to run forward but was stopped by a beast, that had latched onto her from behind and choked the girl as she struggled to pull him off. Eliza kicked her legs, but the creature would not stop. The girls face turned purple as her head  spun, gasping to try get some air. Her fingers clawed at her attackers hands trying to pry them off of her as her vision spotted black. The girl weakened but was dropped to the ground upon the sound of a mighty roar from above them.

Eliza hunched over on the ground, holding her throat lightly, panting and wheezing as she fumbled for her sword that she'd dropped on the rocks. The beast lunged for her once more but Eliza lifted her sword and the beast was impaled and limply fell to the side. The girl looked up in shock that she'd just murdered someone, only to see Aslan, and his army, rush to join the battle. The Witch tripped Peter and pinned him to the ground with one of her swords through his chain mail.

Eliza scrambled to her feet her sword out in front of her, as the battle continued around her. She could only watch as the Witch stood over her brother about the deliver the death blow, only for Aslan to lunge at her, and pinned her to the ground. Eliza turned away refusing to watch the scene that played ahead of her, instead she diverted her attention to scanning for Edmund who she'd lost in crowds.
