It has been 7 years since I vanished from my 'old life' in Cair Paravel. It was very isolated and quiet living on my own (besides the fact that I had Alec with me). I never was able to get used to surviving with only a few pieces of bread, and a water a day. Maybe even fruit if I was lucky! I had gotten very slim over the years, not boney, but slightly small. It was difficult to fit into the clothes I had taken with me. So whenever I was in need of something, I would ride to Hazelton, which would be the nearest village to my 'hide out/house' whatever it was. But the most onerous thing was trying not to be detected by civilians or guards or anyone for that matter. The icy winters were dreadfully frosty, it was hard to keep alive, especially during the nights. But I guess that's what happens when you 'live' near the mountains of Archenland.


Word had spread around Narnia that the White Stag had returned to Narnia, and that the Stag can grant wishes. And I needed it; I have planned to return to Cair Paravel and help the Pevensie's retrieve it. I never lost my love for Edmund, how could I? My love for him will never die. But he's probably found his new lover and it saddens me that he might already found his new one and only.

I dragged the small, thin chalk on the wooden wall, for the last time. I tallied the days I had spent in this house, and it was a bloody long time. I hate to admit it, I was really going to miss this place. It saved me, when I was growing weak and frail. Searching helplessly for a place to rest, hope and faith had remained. This house saved my life.

I was leaving....... Again

Alec rode like the wind, as we were on our way back to Cair Paravel. The wind crashed onto my face, I could never get used to the chills it sent down my spine every time I rode with Alec. Riding was one of my favorite things to do!

I wore a long, silky, emerald dress that flew like a kite against the breeze, and a long, black cloak that kept my body warm against the cold rush. My hood curtained my face, I wouldn't dare to show myself to the crowd after all of these years in hiding.

Once I reached the familiar streets of Cair Paravel, I couldn't help but get feel a spark in the pit of my stomach. I slid myself off of Alec and took him by the reins, guiding him through the town while the crowd did their usual things. The children would be running around, chasing each other, while the mothers would be buying groceries for their family. I kept my head slightly downwards, my hair and hood covering the side views of my face. In the corner of my eye I noticed a few civilians would stop and stare at my mysterious figure. I mean I don't blame them. It would be a bit strange to see a dark figure enter a town of happy, vibrant people.

I had only walked a matter of moments before stopping in front of two, large, familiar red doors. 6 guards came and addressed me, but two of them stepped forward and took Alec away.

"If I find that my horse is misplaced, you shall not see another day again," I warned them, still refusing to show myself. The men began to walk away with Alec and I watched as his feet trotted further and further away from my presence. I began to walk towards the door once more but another guard stepped forward, blocking my pass.
