Author's note: As mentioned previously, I will not copy what C. S. Lewis had done. This would be my own version of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe adaptation. So this chapter will begin after Aslan's death. Thank you for making it this far,and thank you for reading and for choosing this book. Without further ado, let's get to it!

The troops sighed in sadness. Without Aslan, who will lead them in battle?

Just then, the high king Peter stood up. He spoke with honor and authority.

"People of Narnia, I understood your loss of a great king. But we have to be strong and courageous. For we have a battle that is ours to fight. Even though Aslan perished, his name shall not go unheard! Let us wage war against the wicked witch and avenge for Aslan!"

The Narnian soldiers were immediately filled with fighting spirit as they shouted as one.

"For Aslan!"

After the spirits of the soldier were strengthened, Leah came over to Peter and asked him for the battle plan. For she was the queen of wisdom thus she must help Peter plan out the battle that benefit the Narnians.

"We know that the White Witch uses magic, so if we could put her to a disadvantage maybe we'll be able to defeat her." Leah suggested.

"But who should keep her occupied while you think of something? Me and Susan have to keep an eye on the troop so we won't be able to help you out......." Peter furrowed his eyebrows as he thought it over carefully.

"I still have Edmond." Leah said with a sparkle in her eye. "I know he wanted to help. I asked him ahead of the time, and he agreed to help. The death of Aslan took a huge hit on Edmond as well. He wanted to avenge for Aslan."

Peter nodded. "So the plan will be that me and Susan hold the fort down while you and Edmond keep the witch distracted right?"

"Yes. And Lucy could be of help as well. Since she was blessed with a magic cordial she could heal the wounded." Leah said."Remember, don't mess everything up. If you do, we'll suffer great loss and even possibly lose the battle."

Peter looked at Leah with determination as he nodded once more. He walked out of the tent as he passed the battle strategy to the Narnians waiting outside of the tent.

Leah plopped down on the chair as she calmed her emotion. It was even hard for her to battle without holding everything back. She was afraid she'll lose herself while she was in the battle. As if on cue, Edmond appeared out of nowhere.

"Are you okay Leah?" He asker her with concern."You seem stressed...... "

"I am actually." Leah admitted."I don't know if I'll be able to compose myself once we're on the battlefield....... "

"I'll be fighting alongside of you. Don't worry." Edmond smiled and put an arm around her. She hugged him back with a smile of her own.

"Thanks a lot. Now I feel better." She said.

"Then let's go."

Both children, or I should say royalties, walked out of the tent hand in hand. Peter gave them the command as they marched toward where the battlefield was. Leah send a message telling Peter that they'll be storming the White Witch's base as Peter wished them luck. Leah nodded and used her teleportation magic to send her and Edmond over to the dark and looming castle.

Once outside of the door, Leah casted an invisibility magic on both her and Edmond so no one would notice the two sneaking in. It had worked. They were able to walk by the witch's guards without them noticing the two.

At last, they were in front of the witch's base. Edmond took a deep breath as he drew his sword. He was already a wonderful swordsman at the age of 12. Leah was very impressed with that. Leah has ensured extra protection for both of them as she casted a spell of armor for both of them. She knew how dark and strong the White Witch's magic is. Both of them shook themselves as they pushed the door open.

"Prepare yourself, witch!" Edmond cried out as he charged at her with his sword. The witch turned around in amazement as he raised his sword over his head. The White Witch saw an opening and was about to cut Edmond when Leah had bounced her blade off with her own magical rapier drawn at her side. The witch growled and charged at Leah this time. But Edmond made sure she didn't approach Leah fast enough. He send another cut her way when she dodged. Suddenly, the White Witch snapped her finger as two of her other allies appeared out of nowhere. She smirked and watched Leah and Edmond panicked. However, her smirk froze when Leah made two even stronger allies appeared by her side. Soon, the two royals and the witch disappeared in a flash of blades and magics.

Meanwhile, Peter and Susan had been busy defending the front lines. Peter and Susan suddenly heard a voice in their head.

"How are you two holding up?"

It was Leah. She had used telepathy magic to speak to the other two.

"We're doing alright. It seems to me that the enemy is suffering greatly." Peter reported."How's it going with you guys?"

"We're trying to keep the White Witch occupied. But it seems to me that with my magic and Edmond's blade isn't enough." Leah grunted as she dodged another one of the witch's attack. "We may need assistance here."

"Hold on. I'll send a few troops your way. Just hang on!" Peter yelled.

"K, I'll have to check on you later. I need to focus."

"Alright. Be safe!" Peter said as Leah's voice slowly faded away from his head. He worried for Leah and Edmond's safety.

Just then, Aslan appeared out of nowhere and roared, causing confusion in the enemy forces. A new group of Narnians rushed from behind Aslan as they joined their fellow Narnians for battle. Soon the enemy forces were defeated.

Overjoyed, Peter, Susan and Lucy went to Aslan and gave him a warm embrace. The Narnians cheered for their leader's return. Aslan however, appeared to be looking for someone.

"Where is Leah and Edmond?" He asked.

Peter quickly explained the situation to him as Aslan let a huge troop of forces toward the witch's castle.

Back at the castle, Leah and Edmond were now panting heavily as the White Witch attacked with ease.

"You know, you're not bad for children your age." She complimented. "But it's too bad that you'll have to die under my blade."

"We're not that weak." Leah argued as she send another light ball toward the witch. "We're the future king and queen of Narnia!"

"Oh? Guess that'll be my honor to finish you two off then! It'll be written into history about how the witch killed the five future kinds and queens of Narnia!" She cackled.

Edmond gritted his teeth. "Do not insult us!" He growled angrily as he jabbed her with the tip of his blade.

She managed to dodge that and continued her mock.

"Tired are we? Would you like to rest? I'd love to give you that treatment!" She said and was about to pierce Edmond. Leah yelled and then the next thing she knew a huge figure leaping over her head and pushed the White Witch on the floor. Seeing the White Witch is currently occupied she rushed over to Edmond to see if he's alright. To her relieve, only a few cuts and bruises could be found. She quickly healed him as both of them watched the White Witch perish. She let out a terrible scream as she disappeared.

When the giant figure turned around, both of the children cried out with happiness.

"Aslan!"

Aslan chuckled. His golden mane shined brighter than usual.

"Hello, my children. It's good to see you again."
