Prince Caspian and his companions stay at a place called the Dancing Lawn, living off of wild fruits and nuts, until the “night of the Great Council” (917). Numerous creatures come to this meeting, including the Bulgy Bears, badgers, moles, hares, hedgehogs, satyrs, owls, and mice. Prince Caspian is particularly awe-struck by the centaurs and the giant Wimbleweather. The dwarfs, centaurs, and Caspian insist on beginning with the “war council” and leaving the feasting until later.
Just as Caspian begins to give a speech to the crowd, Doctor Cornelius appears. Cornelius informs Caspian that his horse, Destrier, returned to the castle, which alerted King Miraz to Caspian’s absence. The king and his army are now hunting everywhere for Prince Caspian. The group discusses the best course of action; Doctor Cornelius insists that they flee to “Aslan’s How,” an area close to the ruins of Cair Paravel. He explains that it is an ancient mound with many halls and caves that is built over a “magical Stone.” He believes that because it is near the ocean and associated with Aslan, the king and his forces will fear it.
The group agrees to Cornelius’s plan and marches through the night to Aslan’s How.
