"Here sky and water meet~"

"Where the waves grow ever sweet~"

"Doubt not, you Reepicheep~"

"To find all that you seek~"

"There is the Utter East~"

"Doubt not—"

"That's pretty."

Reepicheep flinched and looked back to see who interrupted his singing and saw Lucy.

"Oh! Thank you. A dryad sung it to me when I was just a mouseling. I can't divine the meaning, but I've never forgotten the words." Reepicheep answered her. Lucy smiled and look beyond the vast sea.

"What do you think is past the Lone Islands, Reep?" she asked.

"Well, I've been told the furthest east one can sail is to the end of the world. Aslan's country." Reep answered.

"Do you really believe there's such a place?" Lucy asked.

"Well, we have nothing, if not belief."

"Do you think you could actually sail there?" Lucy asked with seriousness.

"Well, there is only one way of finding that out. I can only hope I will one day earn the right to see it. Your Majesty." Reep answered. Lucy's giggle and sighed when Reep left. Crashes of waves were heard and when she glance down and saw mermaids and jumping and swimming along the Dawn Treader. Lucy smiled and waved back at the mermaid welcoming her.

Clashes of swords and cheers were heard at the deck. Harry, no longer upset, and Hera watched the entertainment of Caspian and Edmund sparring.

"Go Ed! Come on!" Hera cheered and joined the sailors betting.

Harry looked at her like she had just been possessed by certain red-heads who loves to bet.

"Susan will nag you about your betting case again, if she's here" Lucy said pointedly at Hera.

"I know you're no tattle tale, Lucy. Let's keep it that way" she said. Lucy shook her head.

"Dodge Ed! how do you move like a tortoise?!" Hera continued to cheer.

"Since when did she knows how to bet?" Harry asked.

"That was Edmund's fault. It's a long story. It was our 4th year staying in Narnia and They both started to compete in dueling, and they just had to compete with everything until Edmund put money in it and that's where they bet in every competition they made. Peter and Orion tried to stop it, even Susan, but no vail. They were addicted to it." Lucy answered and tried to smile but it turned into a grimace.

"Susan is..."

"My sister, 2nd born. Peter's our Eldest, next is Edmund and I'm the youngest" Lucy answered. Harry nodded and his head tilted a little.

"Then... Who's Orion?" He asked. Lucy flinched and looked at him in surprise and turned to Hera who didn't hear and was distracted by Edmund and Caspian.
