Chapter 24 - Chapter 20

Hadrian watched as his father left to stone table,but he quickly went ans gave his lion father a hug.As Aslan whisper"Stay strong and I will be by your side every atep of the way"

Hadrian stepped back and gave nod,he watched as Aslan walked away.

He could sighed and think"Tomorrow the morale is going to be low.I need to be there to provide it."

While Hadrian didn't know was both Lucy and Susan saw Aslan leaving and followed him.

And then the news came, the wind blows petals into Aslan's camp and into the Hadrian tent a Dryad forms out of the petals.The Dryad spoke up"My Prince,the sacrifice is done and princess are with Aslan now."

Hadrian work sadness nodded, while the next day Oreius came to Aslan's tent and saw Hadrian sitting alone studied the table with its map,it was of Narnia and the three-dimensional map showed everything relating from Aslan' army to where Jadis army was camping.

Hadrian heard Oreius speak up"My Prince, where is Aslan."

Hadrian looked down and replied"To free the boy from Jadis,he had to exchange something....But don't worry he will be back."

Oreius quickly understood what happened, while saying"Don't worry everyone is ready to fight by yours and those childrens side."

Hadrian nodded and ordered"Tell both Peter and Edmund to come here."

Hadrian explained everything to Edmund and Peter,the one who took it badly was Edmund.He spoke up"This is all my fault."

Hadrian cut him off"No,you were tricked."

While Peter walks out of Aslan's tent towards where Hadrian,Oreius and Edmund are waiting beside a table covered in battle plans.

Peter looked at battle plans and said"With Aslan gone,everything is against."

Edmund then spoke up to Hadrian and Peter"Then you'll have to lead us.Both of you are the only ones, who are capable of it, there's an army out there and it's ready to follow you."

Peter with slight fear replied"I can't .'

Hadrian cut in"My father believed you and we are by your side."

Edmund noded and said"I believe in you too."

Oreius spoke up"The Witch's army is nearing, sire.What are your orders?"

Peter gave a rough battle plan,which was influenced by idea from the mordern warfare.Like using Gryphons for aerial warfare and such

Hadrian then had an idea and questioned"Oreius do we still have those caches of Greek fire with us."

Oreius nodded and knowing,where Hadrian was going answered"Yes,we have it in our vault."

Greek fire was something Hadrian was working on against the witch.It was mainly to destroy her and that wretched castle of her's.

Peter and Edmund grew curious about this, while Edmund questioned"What is this Greek Fire?"

Hadrian smriked and explained"Wildfire is a highly volatile material; when ignited, it can explode with tremendous force and the resulting fire burns so hot that water cannot extinguish it. Only by smothering the flames with large quantities of sand can they be put out.So instead of rocks,we have to griffins drop this,it will give us a better edge and power."

There was now a look of understanding, both of them could tell this was similarilies to bombs they have witnessed during the bombing of there home.

Hadrian then added"Now we have a witch to kill."
