"Come Lucy, I'll get us some dry clothes. Edmund, caspian should have some for you." I said as I walked towards my cabin Lucy following me. I had picked out some dry clothes for both us. "These should fit you" I said as I handed the clothing to Lucy. I had given her on e of my red vest, white shirt and black pants. "Thanks Diana" Lucy thanked me.
"So what's it like in your world..." I paused for a second looking for my words. "In England?" I finished as we both got changed. "If I'm going to be honest it's been pretty boring. Mum, dad, Susan, Peter they all moved to America which sadly meant me and Edmund had to move in with our aunt, Uncle and their annoying son Estuance. Estuance being the boy always screaming" "ohh that's his name" "I'm certain that Susan is having more fun then we were.
"Speaking of them how are they? Have they written to you?" I asked generally curious to what my old friends were up to these days.
"Peter writes us once every few months, however Susan write every other week. Peter is working with my father at a factory so he doesn't really have time to. Susan tells us about parties and boys that she thinks fancy her, but I don't think she over Caspian yet." She answered my questions.
"Atleast you're back in Narnia Lu, I've missed you so much, it get kinda boring being the only girl around." I said as she chuckled.
"I've missed you too." She answered. "Not to mention Ed hasn't shut up about returning and a certain someone" she smirked at me.
"Really? I thought he had moved on and found someone else." I spoke looking down. "You're kidding? He's in LOVE with you! He can't go a day without mentioning you! Trust me I have to go through hours of him babbling about his love for you all the time." A small smile spread across my lips and I could feel my cheeks go red. I guess he missed me as much as I did. Lucy walks up to my mirror observing herself, moving her hair behind her ear. "Hey, Diana." "Yeah?" I answered. "Do you think I look or will look like Susan?" "I guess maybe you are sisters after all." I said confused at the question. "Why?" "Oh no reason at all" she said walking away from the mirror. We quickly got ready and headed to Caspian's study.
As we arrived, I could could see Ed and Caspian already stood outside of the study. They both had changed into dry clothes. "Just in time." Caspian spoke with a smile on his face, opening the glass stained doors. Inside the study was made from a beatific oak wood, the shelf's lined with books and parchments. Slim cabinets lined the corners filled with items from may other adventures the ship had been on.
"Aslan" Lucy spoke turning to the golden craving on the wall of the mighty lion. "Look Susan's bow and arrows." She spoke again walking up to them.
"Lucy." Caspian called her, gaining her attention. "My healing cordial and dagger!" She exclaimed about to take them before stopping herself. "Oh may I?" "Of course they're yours" Caspian answered.
"Peter's sword." Edmund spoke. "Yes, I looked after it as promised. Here. Hold it if you wish." Caspian said talking the sword and Hading it to Edmund. "No, no. It's yours. Peter gave it to you." He declined the offer. "I did safe this for you though." Caspian said taking Edmund's torch and throwing it at him. "Thanks." Edmund replied opening it and blinding him.
I chuckled at his stupidness. "Maybe be would prefer this." I said taking out his sword from my belt that he gave me and handing it to him. "You kept it? After all these years?" Edmunds eyes seemed to light up as a smile played at his lips.
"It's been by my side since the day you gave it to me... here" I spoke pushing the sword into Edmunds hands.
"No, I gave it to you, it's yours now."
"Edmund please, I have plenty of other swords, I'm sure it would be nice to swing your own sword again after all the time thats past." Edmund this time didn't refuse but instead replied with a small nodded taking the sword from my hands and and inspecting it before sheathing it into his own belt. "Come we had to inform you about what's going on." I said
Caspian had pulled out a map and begun to update Edmund and Lucy on the progress we made since they had left. "Since you left us, the Giants of the North have surrendered unconditionally and we defeated the Calormen armies at the Great Desert." Caspian said, pointing his fingers on the map that were a peace with Narnia now. "There's peace across all of Narnia" He finished, looking up. "Peace?" Edmund questioned. "In just 3 years" Caspian spoke again.
"And have you found yourself a queen in those three years?" Lucy asked Caspian as she put a strain of her hair behind her ears again and smiled. Caspian back smiled and look down as he answered. "No. Not one to compare with your sister."
"Hang on. So if there are no wars to fight and no one's in trouble, then why are we here?" Edmund asked confused. "That's a good question. I've been asking myself the same thing" Caspian answered. "Regardless, I just glad they're here, we'll them two." I said as I nuzzled my head into Edmund's shoulder. "Plus, Aslan must of had a good reason to bring you back here." I added and they nodded in response.
"So where are we sailing to?" Edmund asked looking down at the map.
"Before I took back the throne from my uncle, he tried to kill my father's friend and most loyal supporters. The seven lords of Telmar." Caspian answered, now turning to the drawings of the lords on the wall. "They fled to the lone islands, no ones heard from them since." He finished.
"You think something happened to them?"Edmund asked.
"Well If it has, it's my duty to find out." He replied. "Our duty" I corrected him, giving him a reminder that he is the one who asked fo my help as I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Well what's east to the lone islands?" Lucy asked.
"Uncharted waters... Things you can barely imagine..." The captain spoke out of nowhere. which scared the flippedygippers out of me. "Tales of sea serpents and worse." He continued, walking out of the corner where he was listening to our conversation with the high king and queen.
"Sea serpents?" Edmund questioned. I personally never saw one, but before she died, my mother used to tell me stories that her father told her when she was younger. I don't remember them clearly since I was very young at the time but they were very detailed. She'd tell me stories every night before bed. I would never had guessed they were true though.
"Drinian, don't scare them!" I scolded "All right, Captain. That's enough of your tall tales." Caspian added, taking a bite of an apple.
