The group finally came across the How and Lucy gasped. From far away, it looked like an ordinary mountain. But when they got closer, there were centaurs lining up the entrance, holding their swords over out head. Kaylee looked at the people behind her, noticing prince Caspian looking at her again. She took a deep breath before walking down to the entrance.

Lucy and Susan went ahead while Edmund, Caspian, and Peter stopped to talk. Kaylee went down after giving Caspian a slight nod, she went down the hallway and heard a small gasp.

"It's us." Susan said when Peter, Edmund, and Caspian came over.

"What is this place?" Lucy asked Caspian.

"You don't know?" Caspian questioned before he grabbed a torch. Kaylee held her dress in one hand, walking farther into the tunnel. He put his torch down and light surrounded the room. There were carvings on the walls of creatures. Narnians. And between an arch was a carving of Aslan. Right in front of them, though, was the Stone Table. Well, what's left of it. It's all carved and broken. This place was a tomb. They watched as Lucy walked up and put her hand on the Stone Table and turned to us, "He must know what he's doing."

"I think it's up to us now." Peter said as he pushed his arm around Kaylee, her head resting on his shoulder.



The next morning everyone met in the tomb to discuss what they were going to do about the Telmarines. Lucy, Susan, and Kaylee sat on the stone table and everyone crowded inside the room.

"It's only a matter of time." Peter said. "Miraz's men and war machines are on their way. That means those same men aren't protecting his castle."

"What do you suppose we do, your Majesty?" Reepicheep asked, his head tilting to the side as he looked at the high king.

"We need to get ready for it."

"To start planning for..." Peter and Caspian spoke at the same time.

Peter glared at Caspian before continuing, "Our only hope is to strike them before they strike us." Peter continued.

"But that's crazy. No one has ever taken that castle." Caspian replied.

"There's always a first time." Peter responded. Kaylee caught his gaze, almost asking her for her opinion before Trumpkin spoke up.

"We'll have the element of surprise." Trumpkin commented.

"But we have the advantage here." Caspian said.

"If we dig in, we could hold them off indefinitely." Susan said from beside Kaylee, grabbing the attention of the two arguing boys.

"I, for one, feel safer underground." Trufflehunter commented.

"Look, I appreciate what you've done here, but this isn't a fortress. It's a tomb." Peter told Caspian, with a glare.

"Yes. And if they're smart enough, the Telmarines will just wait and starve us out." One of the Narnians said.

"We could collect nuts!" Pattertwig exclaimed.

"Yes! And throw them at the Telmarines. Shut up." Reepicheep told the squirrel. "I think you know where I stand, sire."

Peter looked at Glenstorm, "If I get your troops in, can you handle the guards?" Kaylee sighed softly as Susan shook her head at her, both girls knowing there was no talking with Peter about this subject.

Glenstorm looked at Caspian before looking back at Peter, "Or we'll die trying, my Liege."

"That's what I'm worried about." Lucy said.
