Rule // Peter Pevensie [S.U.]

     Five people stand before a map, as the King's fingers graze across the surface. "Since you left, the Giants of the North surrendered unconditionally." Aubrianna's fingers point at a spot on the map further down. "Then we defeated the Calormen armies at the Great Desert." The siblings glance up at the High Queen and King. "There is peace across all of Narnia." Aurbianna playfully glares at her younger brother, and he smiles in return. The attention is turned back to Edmund as he guffaws. "Peace?" Caspian looks up to his sister, as she glances down at him.

"In just three years."

Aubrianna then turns to Lucy who speaks next, while brushing hair behind her ear. "And have either of you found yourself a King or Queen in those three years?" Aubrianna gapes in disbelief, and slight amusement as the younger girl. "No, not ones to compare to your sister and brother." Aubrianna nods when Lucy looks to her, Caspian have stolen the words on her tongue.

     She looks down, still smiling, as her brother furrows his brow in question. "-Hang on. If there are no wars to fight, and no one is in trouble, then why are we here?" He looks to the two tan siblings across from him. "It's a good question. We've been asking ourselves the same thing."

Edmund glares back down at the map, trying to lighten the mood as he asks another question. "So where are we sailing to?" Aubrianna quips up before her brother has the chance to open his mouth, a silent game of 'who can say it first', happening between the two. "Before we took back the throne from our uncle, he tried to kill your father's closest friends and most loyal supporters." The two turn toward a wall, where seven rough sketches of men are plastered. "The seven Lords of Telmar."

     Caspian examines the faces quietly, before turning back to the map, pointing. "They fled to the Lone Islands. No one has heard from them since." He glances back at the wall for a brief second. Edmund has made his way around the table, standing next to the Queen as he examines the drawings. "So you both think something has happened to them?" Caspian looks downcast as he answers. "Well, if it has, it's our duty to find out." He meets Edmund's eyes for seconds before glancing down once more. Lucy, who remained where she was, brushes her hand across the map.

"Well, what's East of the Lone Islands?" Seconds before Aubrianna can answer, the Captain does. "Uncharted waters. Things you can barely imagine. Tales of sea serpents and worse." Edmund give a breathy laugh at that. "Sea serpents?" Aurbrianna gives a small laugh, looking to the older man. "All right, Captain. That's enough of your tall tales." Caspian laughs at his sisters remark as he bites into an apple.
