The deep-clear blue waves of the endless Great Northeastern Ocean shine gloriously on board a ship, mainly in The Dawn Treader. The rattling makes the environment cozy and peaceful; it made the artifacts move on the shelves, and the hanging adornments and engravings of the history of Narnia are depicted in the rooms within the map room. The engraving of Aslan in gilt relief on the ship's walls is of great significance to those who admire Narnia and struggle with their life for that magnificent and magical wolrd.

When she heard laughter and chattering voices from the deck, the Telmarine and Narnian Queen stretched in her chair from the cozy covers. Who lived for an adventure every day, always at sea, discovering new islands, and populating in other places and, the hidden surprises in the infinite, blue waters of the ocean in which they steamed would get used to the cool nights on board.

She wears a loose white shirt, a dark red corset, an inky leather coat, cream pants, and black heeled boots. Her wavy black hair remained in a braid, and she sighed in front of the mirror.

It had passed five months since the narnian-telmarine crew had started searching for the seven lords. The ones the late King Miraz sent to explore the Great Eastern Ocean to clear the 'competition' for the Throne of his brother, father of Caspian. Besides, the newly crowned King and Queen who had been ruling for three years are well prepared and ready to venture out on this quest, I mean, one of the lords is her grandfather, and Caspian preferred her to be there too.

The balmy and pleasant weather with a fresh wind and the smell of saltwater is felt arriving on deck. The sailors would be seen working in groups and talking maintaining an enjoyable air as she walked around the deck looking for Caspian. The young woman would greet the sailors who had volunteered to go on this voyage with Caspian and herself, searching for the lost lords and eventually discovering new locations.

Seeing a tall, balding, middle-aged man, Theodora went to meet him on the stairs with a deep sigh. "Good morning, Captain Drinian."

"Good morning, Your Highness." with a slight bow of his head and a small smile, he greeted her.

"Haven't you seen King Caspian by any chance?" she asked, enjoying the forbearing weather.

Before the captain could respond, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist from behind. The familiar embrace will always make her feel safe, loved, and at home.

"Hello, my Queen," he whispered in her ear, kissing her neck. She smiled, biting her bottom lip. She turned to look at her husband. Caspian would now have longer, straighter brown hair, be taller over these three years, ending up becoming a wonderful king to Narnia.

"Good morning, my King." Thea peppered kisses into Caspian's warm cheek. "I was just looking for you, Caspian. Have you found anything?" resting a hand on his cheek.

"No, we haven't, not yet." smiling fondly towards her, a devotion and affectionate looking. "But do not stress yourself. Did you sleep well?" asked the twenty-one years old young man, reaching his hands to his twenty-two years old wife's covered forearms.
