Issued by High King Peter the Magnificent, delivered by King Caspian the Tenth of That Name:

I, Peter, by the gift of Aslan, by election, by prescription, and by conquest, High King over all Kings in Narnia, Lord of Cair Paravel, and Emperor of the Lone Islands, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Lion, do hereby challenge the White Witch Jadis to single combat upon the field of battle, invoked by the rite of deep magic as granted from previous deceitful trespasses. The fight shall be to the death at basic arms, forfeiting any and all marshal of the lists. The reward shall be complete surrender of the wand wielded by the White Witch, followed by passing its ownership to Queen Susan the Gentle, King Edmund the Just, Queen Lucy the Valiant, King Caspian X, and myself, High King Peter the Magnificent.

No, not quite.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Oh. So it just looks like idiocy from here.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I am sure many things do, Blue. But how do you fare?

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I don't have an arm. I can't play the trumpet, and two of my friends are doing something supremely stupid.

Not very well.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Do you need any help?

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I should be asking you the same question. Does Peter have any practical experience with snow queens that don't end with the Great Lion saving him?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

That is a question better left answered by Peter himself.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

And you?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I'm not fighting.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Do you think she'll really stop if she kills--

...nevermind.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Continue that thought, Blue.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

If she kills Peter, she'll go after you, then Susan, then Lucy.

Do you really think she'll stop? Honor or no.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Then Peter will simply have to win.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

You know that any fight can go both ways.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

So it's not that simple.

He had best be ready.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I'm going to make sure that he is.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

........good luck.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Please take care of yourself too.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Well it's a little too late for that.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

You suffered a great loss I know, but you are not a loss yourself.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I do not think you are anymore incapable of such things than you were before, and before, you were not incapable of much.

1/2

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

......thanks.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I've fought snow queens before.

Let me know if you need help training.
