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...
Hi everyone new chapters are up! We get to learn a little more about Camus today...
Lucy and Susan kneeled quickly down next to their unconscious brother, Edmund. "He's still breathing." Susan said, relieved to see his chest moving, but that was not enough to convince Peter.
"We need to get him out of here." He told them.
Peter and Caspian lifted Edmund and started carrying him out of the passageway towards where their boat stood waiting for them. The crew came back from their passageway right at the same time and informed their King that whoever lived in the Island had lived there for over a thousand years.
"Camus must have used magic to stay alive for this long." Susan said.
"Let's just worry about Ed right now." Peter said. "We need to get back on the ship."
As they exited the passageway, the crew boarded their boat and the Pevensies along with Caspian boarded theirs. Peter and Caspian took to the oars and started rowing.
"Will he be alright?" Lucy wondered if she should use her cordial one more time.
"It won't work again, Lu." Susan said, reading her sister's thoughts. "He only needs some rest." She added and held onto Edmund's hand, whispering a silent prayer for him to recover.
"I need to...I need to..." Edmund was sleep-talking.
"I've oddly missed his sleep talks." Peter smiled, remembering the sleepless nights in Finchley because of Edmund's sleep-talking.
"I need to be a better...Just." Edmund mumbled. "Not a...namesake."
"I think this one might be because of the loss of blood." Lucy said and held the hilt of her dagger, thinking about Aslan.
"Loss of blood?" Caspian asked as he perked up.
"Could you tell us what happened, Lu? I know it was a horrible experience, but maybe we can help." Susan asked on behalf of all of them.
Lucy took a deep breath and sighed, not wanted to relive those recent memories. "Okay..." She started.

"Well starting with the obvious, Camus is alive. We just found that out the hard way. We had no clue why he didn't just kill us, he needed us for something, or rather one of us." She looked at Ed and stifled the tears in her eyes. "He needed the blood of the Crown With the Strongest Will for some sort of spell."
"The Crown With the Strongest Will? What is that?"
"I'm still not exactly sure myself, It is something like a Narnian King or Queen that can 'prove' their will. So, he tested us with these horrible dreams in this...maze, I guess you can say. Edmund ended up winning. So, I was thrown back in the cell rendered useless, I think he was going to kill me until Edmund stepped in. He agreed to be obedient for Camus' spell."
