Hi everyone! only one chapter this week! But it is a long one!
The Dawn Treader neared the required location - Tenebris Island. Everyone onboard the ship was feeling an uncertainty that they couldn't quite place.
"Has everyone got it?" Peter asked. "We cannot afford any mistakes. This is Ed and Lu that we are talking about." He added.
"Of course." Caspian said.
"We've got it, Peter." Susan said and clamped her brother's shoulder. "We'll get them." She assured him.
"I will lay down my life if needed." Reepicheep said and bowed to the Kings and the Queen.
"Thank you, Reep. But hopefully that won't be necessary" Peter said with great gratitude and then turned to Susan. "Let's go get them."
Once everyone put on their battle armour and armed themselves with a sword, the Dawn Treader entered the misty region that surrounded that island, which made it very hard to see. Susan and Peter were craning their necks and leaning off the ship trying to catch even a glimpse of an opening to the Island.
Caspian was steering the ship and tried using a telescope to try to see through the mist. "Nothing is working." He told the Pevensies.
"We mustn't lose hope." Susan said.
"We won't." He replied and stirred the ship in a different direction.
A minute passed. Ten minutes passed. Half an hour went by and still, there was no sign of an entry to the cave, or an exit out of the mist. The rowers grew tired every second that passed by. They all wondered how long it would take.
The four on the main deck became more and more restless as they couldn't find any sign of life. "Maybe we got the location wrong." Reepicheep, the optimistic, wondered out loud.
"This is the right Island." Drinian told them.
"We will find a way." Peter raised everyone's minds. "We have to." He whispered.
Right then, big waves started forming as the boat started to shake.
This time, everyone was sure not to underestimate the threat. "Merpeople attack!" Drinian shouted.
Everyone on board got their weapons out, ready for a fight, but what happened next had all of them shocked. Even though everyone stood with their weapons ready, nobody came onboard the ship and the shaking eventually stopped. There was a swift through the water and when Caspian went to the port side of a ship to see what was happening, he had a smile on his face. "Impossible." He whispered.
"What happened?" Susan asked as she stood beside him.
"They're helping us?" Peter questioned, sounding curious as to why merpeople would be helping them.
"Hurry!" One of them screamed as they started swimming away.
"Do we follow them?" Peter thought out loud.
