I found Peter and Edmund helping Lucy and Suzan onto their horses.
"Hi Hannah!" Lucy called waving.
"Where is your saddle and briddle and reigns?" Edmund asked cocking his head to the side.
"Well, they are uncomfortable and I don't need to always be in control. Bacon reminds me of that." I said patting Bacon's head.
"So your not side saddling?" Suzan asked wide eyed.
"Why should I? That is a common stereotype against woman. So I'll ride the way I can go the fastest." I said shrugging my shoulders.
"Well who wants to race?" Peter asked from on top of him unicorn.
We all agreed but then we had to join the party of those traveling. We went and rode in the front with Aslan for a while till about midday and then we saw the beach and Cair Paravel. Aslan nodded to Peter and we all steered our horses down the grassy slope and onto the beach. Peter unmountid and drew a line with a stick in the sand marking the starting point.
He mounted the unicorn again and said:"Okay, from this line to Cair Paravel."
"On your marks. Get set go!" Yelled the gryphon who saved my life.
I lightly kicked Bacon's sides and rode off. I ducked my head and chest down so that I am flattened out against my horse.
The wind rushed through my hair and I had to squint against the wind to keep my eyes from drying out.
The smell of the sea and the smell of the air and of Bacon's fur smelled exhillerateing.
I held onto Bacon's mane and then I saw Aslan came to join in on the race. I laughed and peered behind me. They were gaining.
I was halfway to Cair Paravel and Bacon speeded up.
When I reached Cair Paravel Aslan sat there waiting. I unmounted Bacon and he sat down on his hind quarters. I fell on the grass next to Bacon on my back and Aslan chuckled at my antics.
Peter came next and then Edmund then Suzan and finally Lucy.
"How did you do that?" Peter asked. Before I could answer came the snide voice. "With magic of course!"
"Ellisha. Please. It's been a long day. I am not in the mood." I said tiredly.
"Who was that?" Edmund asked putting emphasis on the a in that.
"Ellisha, Brown elf's daughter. She hates me." I said with a smile.
"Children, it is time for you all to get inside." Aslan reminded and then walked up the back stone steps. I first put Bacon in the stables and then ran up the stairs to catch up with as Aslan.
He walked inside the throne room and we saw all the colourful flowers and decorations being prepared.
He led us into the dining room. "Eat children. The servants will show you were you sleep." Aslan said walking out of the dining hall.
In front of us was a completely set table and a woman with blue hair and yellow skin came and poured a red liquid into our glasses. I waved my hand over the glass and there was no poison in it.
I took a sip of the liquid. It was thick and rich and it tasted like Christmas.
"Guys, be warned. There is magic in there. Magic for the first time will taste like..."
"It tastes like grass!" Edmund exclaimed.
I snorted. "Told you. It will taste horrible at first so take a small sip, but the more you drink the better it gets."
Everyone except Edmund, who had already taken a big gulp, took small sips.
A maid brought plates carrying mashed potatoes, bread, beef and vegetables.
Dessert was honeycomb and milk. It tasted delicious.
After dinner the maid lead us down a corridore and stairs and all sorts of walkways and showed us our rooms. Lucy's room was the closest to mine and then Suzan's.
My room was rather large with purple sheets, curtains, chairs and rugs. The floor was cold hard stone and the walls were too. I had a stone fireplace that was lit and candles positioned all around my room.
It was dark already outside, so the room looked draker then it really was.
On a chair in my room was a white nightgown. It was clearly made out of linen upon first glance.
I changed into my nightgown and loosened my hair.
The bed was soft and welcoming after a day of traveling. I wonder what tomorrow has in store for me?
