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.

If you leave again, or if you make it so Peter leaves, I will never, ever forgive you.

I'm sorry I broke my promise to you, Lucy.

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

Don't do it again.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I would never... willingly.

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

...I don't like it. And that's what I have to say.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

We are doing what we can, Lucy.

[Must avoid looking at that stuffed lion.]

[She's going to start displaying it in prominent places....like on your chest when you wake up...]

I think you're not thinking this through.

[That's an ominous place.]

We have, Lucy.

[She's a master of stuffed-lion-fu]

Just remember.

[He nods, but see how his brow furrows.]

I would never forget.
