The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Chapter 4 - Galma

We arrived at the port of Galma to a wonderful reception i was down in a forest green dress with my hair curled behind my back   the sloped as set down backing it easier for us to step off the ship.

"welcome, Welcome to Galma i am Duke William and this is my daughter Rosaline" he introduced himself.

"it is a pleasure to finally meet you at last. may i present my Captain Drinian and first mate Tavros" they shook hands.

"And this Duke is High Queen Emma the Warrior with her son King Christopher the brave king and Queen of all Narnia  as well as the daughter and grandson to the great Aslan himself." he introduced us i curtsied and Christopher bowed.

"pleasure to meet you Duke William" i smiled

"not as much as i the famous High Queen of Narnia and her son. come, come everyone one of you should join us for a great feast"  Caspian held out his arm which i took and held on to Christopher's hand as we followed the duke and his daughter.

we were at dinner sitting Next to Caspian at one end of the table and across from Drinian. Christopher sat next to me.

"i hope you will stay your majesty we are having a tournament and would love to see you joust" William spoke.

"it would be an honour. to participate in a day's jousting." Caspian replied

"and your majesties Emma and Christopher i pray you won't shy away from watching the king and other competitors" he addressed me.

"of course not it has been many years since i watched a tournament it would only be fitting for me to indulge on memories i have missed." i smiled replying.

"wonderful, wonderful" we continued to eat conversing with each other as we watched performances in our honour. it was soon time for bed and we were sent to quarters for a nights rest. waking up the next morning i was helped prepared for the first day of jousting, William led Rosaline, Christopher and myself to the box where as the rest of the crew to the stands.

"you seem very close to King Caspian." William commented

"we are he is like a older brother where as the rest of the Kings are Queens expect for Peter are like younger siblings. all of us fought together to claim back Caspian's throne." i answered taking a seat.

"yes that is right history says that you married the eldest King Peter and from him had King Christopher" i nodded Caspian came out in his armour as did his opponent Alexander. Caspian rode over

 "may i have a token from Queen Emma" he asked i chuckled and as did when Peter was facing battle i gave him a token of luck before they began it was bad at first but as the day progressed Caspian got better and was winning every single match.

the days past by and it was a week before we left back to sea.

"wouldn't you majesty care to stay longer it is most welcome right Rosaline" he looked to his daughter i held in a laugh he was not subtle on what he was trying to do.

"yes father." she replied

"I'm afraid not but thank you my friend" they shook hands.

"it has been a great honour meeting you High Queen and King i hope that you would return soon." he kissed my knuckles .

"thank you my lord it has been entertaining being here" he shook Christopher's hands before we made our way back onto the ship we waved off as we set sail.

"i think the Duke was trying to convince you in marrying his daughter Caspian" i comment smirking as we turned round on deck.

"i think your right as well but the young Rosaline has someone else out there for her which is not me" i laugh

"i know but it was funny to see him try anyway i presume our next stop is Terabeinthia." he nods

"that it is we are not far from it and should reach it by afternoon. tomorrow." i smile

"can't wait." but it was not meant to be because before we could anchor the King send out word not to land due to a great sickness. the next day i watched as Caspian and Christopher played chess with Reep who won most of the time the others he imagined a real battle and moved the knight into the dance of a Queen and Castle.

it was not long before the battle that was wished for came. a group of pirates saw fit to hinder our journey but we saw them off, when they pulled up beside us the crew sent arrows destroying a mast. they quickly fled and we were on course once more. the next afternoon we ported in the Seven Isles where we feasted and gathers more supplies that we didn't have for the rest of our journey.
