The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: The Adventure Continues!

Volcano island.

"What's that ahead Captain." Caspian asked as he walked up the stairs to the main deck.

Drinian smiled and walked down the stairs of the upper deck, "Glad your awake your Majesty's. Have a look for your selfs."

Caspian took the telescope from the captain and walked up to the bow, I followed him. Lucy, Sunny, Benjamin, and Edmund were all looking out on the edge.  When I approached the girls, Lucy immediately wrapped her arms around me. I returned the embrace, I didn't know what I did to earn such a hug none the less, I took it.

"What is this for?" I asked laughing a little.

She chuckled, "I just wanted to hug you, can't I hug my sister?"

"Yes, unless you want something." I say.

She let go and gave me a slap in the arm, "oh please."

I just shook my head and walked over to Caspian, "can I see?"

"Of course love." He told me while handing me the telescope.

At the moment I didn't process what he said, but then it hit me. Love, he called me love. One of the most sweetest words in the entire world, I looked back at Sunny and Lucy. Lucy gave me a thumbs up while Sunny just snickered, I would totally never be living that down.

Besides the point, we just found a island and as high queen I had the duty of gazing into telescope. So, I gave my attention to the piece of land that laid ahead.

From what I could see, it was all rock. You could hear popping sounds in the air every other minute, this was a volcanic island.

"What do you think can grow on a island like that?" I asked anyone who'd answer me.

Caspian shrugged, "I don't know."

"I agree with Christina.. I what can grow here?" Benjamin inquired.

Edmund shrugged this time, "weather or not there's food on this island, we need to search and see if the Lords have stopped here."

"I know, that's the most important part of this island venture. So, we going?" I asked handing that scope back to Caspian.

He took it and pushed the extended part back in, then he put it in his pocket.

"Yes. Gather as many crew members as you can. Tell them this is a day's journey, we will be back on ship by sundown." Caspian ordered Darinian.

The captain nodded and shouted orders to the crew below.

"As for all of us, grab what we need and head onto the small boats." Caspian told us before he gracefully flew down the steps and into the cabin area.

I was down stairs in my cabin, Lucy had taken Gale back upstairs to be with her father. I was just gathering my things when my mind conjured up some nostalgia that I had put away a long time ago.

I walked onto the balcony and looked into the water that seemed to shine like crystals.

I could picture perfectly the day I landed in narnia, on that beach. How scared I was. How unsure I felt. Then that moment of finding my chest, the dresses. Gosh, I missed them.

Was it my place to stay here? Was it my place to go back?

I've considered the consequences of both actions and if I must tell the truth, this felt like home. It's something that's apart of me that I've been missing this whole time in England.

"The small boats are docked, are you ok?" Benjamin asked as he slowly came in the room.

I turned around and nodded with a soft smile, "Yes brother, I am."
