The group heads below deck, as Aubrianna beckons Lucy to follow her, Edmund follows Caspian. "As the only female, I get private dressing chambers." Lucy smiles up at the girl in admiration. "Let's get you changed out of your sopping wet clothes.

Lucy gets changed into an outfit much like Aubrianna's, as the queen changed into the same, dryer version out the outfit she wore. "Now let's deal with your hair." Aubrianna had always wished for a younger, female, sibling she could dress up, and now she has one. "Come we must meet with Caspian."

They four walk into a room, Caspian and Aubrianna opening up a set of double doors. The doors close as Edmund shuts them, as Lucy stalks toward a cupboard, the face of a certain lion gleaming in gold on the front. The sight causes the High Queen to grin. "Aslan." Her hands brush the Lion's face, her young heart swelling.

She turns, spying a set of a bow and arrow perched neatly on a shelf. "Look, Susan's bow and arrows!" She rushed toward them, mouth dropped in awe as Aurbianna nods toward Caspian. "Lucy."

He brings out a box, a blue cloth covering the inside as her dagger and healing cordial are placed inside. "My healing cordial." She rushed toward the king. "And dagger." She raises her hands as if to grab the two items, but stops short, glancing warily at the man holding them.

"May I?" Caspian grins, holding out the box. "Of course, they're yours." As Aubrianna stands back with Edmund, she watches as a certain glint of metal catches his eye. "Peter's sword." The name along causes Aubrianna's heart to lurch. She tunes out the conversation between the two, heart heavy with the loneliness she has had to endure the past three years. Of course it was no different for her brother and the eldest female Pevensie.

"I did, save this for you though." She glances up in time to see Caspian reach for a glass case built into the cupboard, grabbing a torch and tossing it to Edmund, who cheekily smiles. "Thanks." He looks at it, turning it on, and comes to the conclusion that it still works as a bright light shines in his face.

I've started doing that thing when I write books where I binge-write like 10 chapters and then just post them periodically. At this point in time, I published the first chapter YESTERDAY but you won't see this until a week (maybe) after the second chapter has been posted.

Seconds before I post: I realize now how short this chapter is, my apologies I think doing everything at once was too much I'm pacing myself now with school and all :)
