Once, there were four children who stood at an underground train station. They had just returned from a land called Narnia but nobody around them was aware that they ever had left. The children thought that their adventure was over. After all, it wa...
Peter and Reepicheep stood admiring the vast ocean. Even though it was early, Peter just had to see it. It was the most beautiful at this time of day. He sighed when thoughts started to fill his head. "Reepicheep? Can I ask you a question?"
"Of course, your Majesty." The mouse answered, turning around to face the Magnificent King.
"Do you think he knows what is happening?"
"Who, your Majesty?"
"Aslan." Peter breathed out. "Do you think he will help us?"
"I'm afraid that I do not know the answer to that question. We can only have faith and hope." Reep answered, holding his rapier as he spoke. "I must say that I have utmost faith because one day, I dream of being worthy of seeing His country."
"That's your dream?" Peter wondered.
Reep smiled. "Well, one's dreams do not have to be the same as others' but yes. That is my dream."
"Who told you about His country?"
"A dryad who took care of me, your Majesty. She used to sing me a lullaby that praised Aslan and his life. Since then, all I've ever worked towards is to be worthy."
"It must be nice to know what you want in life."
"If I may," Reepicheep started. "You shouldn't blame yourself for the past. I know that it must be hard but you cannot curse yourself to an existence that will have no outcome."
Peter smiled. "Thank you, Reep."
"It was my pleasure." He bowed down.
"Peter?" Susan's voice was heard as she came onto the top deck.

"I'll leave you two to talk." Reepicheep said as he hurried to the anchor side cabin.
"How are you?" Peter asked her, knowing that she had a horrible nightmare.
"I don't know." She shuddered. "I just need to forget about it, that's all." She stood next to her brother, leaning against the ship and facing the starboard side of the sea. "I need to get my mind off of it." She brushed her hands through her hair.
"Can I ask you something?" He asked hesitantly.
"Sure."
"Why are you giving Caspian a hard time? You mentioned an officer in your letter; the one who accompanied you to England. How are you ready to be with him but not with Caspian? I know that both of you still like each other. It is very obvious." He added with a smirk.
