Aslan had prepared everything in case he needed to use violence. Maybe his punishments would be increased again, but as long as he could heal Rosie's condition, he would do anything. At least, the situation would become a bit calmer and the king might withdraw his troops to stop searching for Aslan.
Leaving the mountain he had occupied since the night, Aslan came out of the forest. He didn't bring his horse with him. He didn't want to make a lot of noise or the Palace Knights would find his hiding place. Aslan could hide in the shadows of the forest because he dressed in black tonight.
It was about to dawn. Aslan had to move quickly. Waiting for the troops chasing him to retreat was impossible.
Aslan climbed up one of the trees when he heard the sound of hooves coming towards him. He narrowed his eyes to see who was coming.
