The courtship between Caspian and Susan began cautiously, with Caspian taking note of everything he said and every move he made. he was scared if he so much as tripped up slightly, Mr. Pevensie, Peter, Edmund, Ivar, Mr. Bedwell, and maybe even Mr. Andersen would show him why he should not trip up.

"Where are you planning on taking my sister today, Caspian?"

"I let her decide that, Peter."

"Why is that?"

"I don't know the countryside of this land as well as I'd like, but she does. In a way, she taking me to explore Narnia."

"Peter, we have a problem."

"Kayla! What are you doing here so early?"

"As I said, we have a problem."

"What is it?"

"Lord Balvenos decided to ride to Dancing Lawn, demanding everything I stole from his castle. Apparently, the White Witch's castle sits on his land."

"But that land is yours by birthright. Jadis' nephew was our great-grandfather."

"Exactly, and that was what I told him, but he demands proof of that."

"Wait, Caspian. At Aslan's how, after the incident with the wolf and the hag, what happened to the wand?"

"Professor Cornelius has it in safekeeping."

"He needs to give it to Kayla. It'll be kept better at Dancing Lawn than here in the citadel."

Kayla headed up to Cornelius' study, and closed the door behind her.

"Lady Kayla, what can I do for you?"

"You have something in your possession, that would be better kept at Dancing Lawn than here."

"I know what you speak of, though I won't say what it is because Telmarine lords are listening at the door."

Kayla spun her wrist around and conjured up a spider, and sent it through the crack between the door and the floor. Once it was in the hallway, it grew enormous, reminiscent of Ungoliant. The Telmarine lords ran off, and the spider disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"I wouldn't worry about them now."

Cornelius handed her the wand wrapped in a cloth to look like a dagger. Kayla made haste back to Dancing Lawn as fast as she could, where Lord Balvenos was waiting for her.

"Lady Kayla."

"Get off of my land, Balvenos."

"I came to get what rightly belongs to me."

"You don't have the power nor the blood to wield this."

Kayla took the wand out of the cloth and pointed it at Balvenos, and he froze up in fear.

"Is everything alright, Kayla?"

"Yes, everything is fine, Ivar. I'm just deciding on whether or not I should turn Lord Balvenos to stone."

Once Lord Balvenos heard that, he got on his horse and rode back to the Telmarine citadel.

"You took on a chance on that one, min elskede."

"It really all is just a game of thrones, Ivar."

"Is that Jadis' wand?"

"Yes."
