They sailed through the deep waters to the nearest destination they had, the Lone Islands. The icy sea breeze was accompanied by the smell of the tide and the sound of waves crashing against the ship. The Dawn Treader bustling, as the narnian sailors get ready for the arrival to the islands, just as Theodora in the cabin got dressed singing making the merpeople listen and admire her.

Clenching her black heeled boots, she placed the bow on her shoulder and walked out of the cabin and onto the deck. She would observe the place and looking up to the bow of the ship, with a telescope in hand, Caspian seemed to watch the approach of the island alongside Edmund and Drinian.

Up the stairs and to the top of the bow, Thea would stop beside Edmund who gave her a simple smile.

"What is happening?" She asked, making herself present.

"The Lone Islands." Said Lord Drinian observing the place. "The ports of Narrow Harven."

"It's strange, there's no Narnia flag in sight." commented Caspian handing the spyglass to the Captain who passed it to Thea.

"But the Lonely Islands have always been Narnia." Edmund would comment, looking through the spyglass given by the queen.

"It looks suspicious," said the young queen observing the empty place.

"I think we'd better disembark." Edmund commented, looking up at the Captain. "Lord Drinian?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty,'' said Drinian. "but the command begins with Queen Theodora on this ship with the approval of King Caspian." Thea cringed when the lord referred to her by her full name.

"Alright"

"We will use the long boats." agreed Thea. "Drinian, choose some men and come to shore."

"Yup."

"Tavros!" The Queen gave the minotaur the orders.

"Mend the long boats, lower the sail and prepare to drop anchor." ordered the minotaur to the crew.

Down the stairs followed by Caspian, Thea checks the crew splitting up to go to Felimath Island. Placing herself between the same wheels, she checked each one and smiled.

"Rinelfo and Pittencream, bring Eustace." gave orders while being watched by the two men who nodded. "I want you to be cautious if something happens, you already know what to do."

Walking over to Lucy, who was bickering with Eustace, Thea caught the strands of her hair that had come loose from her hairstyle. She took both of them by the hands and pulled them into a boat with her. "I had already decided that I would take him along with us."

They boarded the boats, the crew rowing together, making the small wooden boats sail to the Narrowhaven Harbor. Thea would run her hands through the water, feeling the frost and the contact with her delicate hand, splashing over Lucy and Eustace who smiled, but soon the stranger disguised it, putting himself in a bad mood.
