rhindons:there are these similar moves of attack in these two swordfights. Edmund had maybe a day’s worth of training before having to battle the White Witch. he did what he could only do bravely and brilliantly. Edmund changed the course of the battle and also saved his brother, but he was still stabbed by the Witch. she used a quick disarming trick that Edmund at that time would have no idea how to battle. thank goodness for Lucy, but Edmund knew that she was not always going to be there at a time of need. he needed to learn and be better. once they were crowned and adjusting to their new home at Cair Paravel, Edmund approached Oreius after practice. it was maybe their second or third practice, and the general knew he was very critical of himself. for good reasons that came in the future. Edmund explained what happened and how he was wounded. Oreius understood what happened and trained him how to defend and even use such an attack. Oreius trained him well. Edmund remember all the long mornings that started at the break of dawn and lasting nearly until noon. all of the sweat, aches, and pains. all of the frustrations. he mastered the craft. Edmund’s style was rather unique to his brother’s. he was smaller, but he was quick and smart. Edmund was victorious in his own ways. it is why when they returned to Narnia the second time he was able to win against Trumpkin and prove who they were. the memories of his mastery all returned. or at least they were brought back to the forefront of his mind. King Edmund the Just was a fine swordsman indeed and it was known in legend. -- source link
