Chapter 17, “The Hunting of the White Stag”

Narration reveals that Aslan joined Peter in fighting the Witch and in killing her. After seeing her death, the rest of her army fled.

When Aslan speaks firmly to her, she apologizes and starts healing some of the other wounded, while Aslan restores those whom the Witch turned to statues before...
