Edmund and Caspian sat outside admiring the ocean blue waves after a long day sparring. 

The radiant sunset was glistening over the top layer of the ocean

The radiant sunset was glistening over the top layer of the ocean. Edmund spoke up. "So, you and Su were in there for a while yesterday." He raised his eyebrows mischievously.

Caspian shrugged. "Well, Susan and I actually just talked about our feelings yesterday and it turned out that we wanted to be together, that's all."

"Mhm..."

"It's true!" He exclaimed. "Actually, I wanted to ask you something. We still need a plan to defeat Camus but I don't know the whole story about him. Would you mind telling me what he attempted to do?"

"Ah you see..." Edmund began as Caspian was anxious to finally know what had happened.

"I can't believe they are having a celebration to make Camus the Head of Guard!" Edmund whispered furiously to Lucy, who was sprawled on his bed while he continued to pace. "Narnia is in trouble unless I can find a way to prove that Camus is guilty!"

"Edmund, calm down!" She told him. "I'm sure Camus will do a fine job. Now, we have to go downstairs to the party. It is a ceremony after all."

"Fine. I'll go if you let us take a walk first."

"Deal. Maybe you can use it to clear your mind with this Camus nonsense."

"It's not nonsense." Edmund muffled.

It was dark but warm that night as both the siblings journeyed around the castle. Lucy was about to say something when Edmund suddenly grabbed her arm and yanked her behind a tree. She looked at him furiously and was about to yell at him when he shushed her.

They saw Camus with a hag. "A hag? In Cair Paravel?" Lucy thought as she observed the situation.

"Do you have it?" Camus asked, holding a pouch in his hands.

"Yes, I have the poison."

"Shush! No one can hear about it. I don't want word of this getting out."

Edmund and Lucy looked at each other eyes wide.
