{3} The Last Protector {Voyage of The Dawn Treader}

The Last Battle

{Silver's POV}

I was eating with Edmund, as we waited for the train, and I looked at him. "There's something wrong."

I said, and he looked at me. "I feel it to. Something is wrong in Narnia." He said, and he looked at me.

"Do you think that... that Peter and Lucy are feeling it as well?" He asked, and I looked at him.

"What about Susan?"

I asked, and he looked at me.

"I don't believe that she even does believe in Narnia anymore. She is now much more interested in the other things in life now."

He said, and I looked at him. I saw that Peter and Lucy were running towards us.

"Mr Digory and Polly? Eustace and Jill?" I asked, looking at them both.

"On the train, and we will soon join them. You all got the feelings as well yes?" Peter said, and I nodded.

"Yes." I said, and Edmund nodded.

Suddenly, I saw the train coming in way too quickly, and suddenly, there was a crash, and then, there was... there was nothing now.

I felt as if I was floating, and then we were suddenly watching something at the back of a dark room.

I saw that all of us, were now wearing armor. I saw that, there was back of a ape facing us.

"Begone, Monster, and take your lawful prey back to your own place, in the name of Aslan, and Aslan's great Father, the Emperor-over-sea."

Peter said, and he looked at the ape-like thing, and the evil thing cackled, before disappearing.

I saw that I was holding my knife once again, although Loyalty had not reappeared.

I saw that Edmund held his sword, and I smiled, when I noticed that we all wore fine clothes or armor, and that Eustace and Jill were also now crowned.

The current king of Narnia bowed to us all, and I looked at him. "Rise King of Narnia."

I said, and he looked at me. "You... a.. are the Protector." He said, stammerin over his words, and I nodded.

"Yes. I am."

I said, and Edmund looked at me.

"She gave up everything for us. In return, we gave her the family, that she had lost." Edmund said.

"Sire,"

said Jill, going forward to see the newest King of Narnia. "Let me make you known to Peter, the High King of all Kings in Narnia."

She said, and the King knelt to Peter, and kissed his hand. "High King. You are welcome to me."

He said, and I looked at him.

"Where is your Protector?" I asked, and a new White Wolf leaped into the barn, and crouched as a human.

"That is impossible." I said, as Edmund looked at me. "What do you mean?"

He asked, and I swallowed quickly, and he looked at the human who now stood tall. "Darren Stormwalker."

I whispered. "Son of Maugrim and Lilianda. The Black Wolf, and the Snow Leopard."

I said quietly, and the boy stood up, and looked at me. "Silver?" He asked his voice just as quiet, and I stepped forward, and hugged him, shutting my eyes tightly.

I looked at him. "I thought you were dead." I said, and he looked at me and shook his head.

"Aslan raised me again. But I believe, that this is yours sister." He said, and I saw that he unsheathed Loyalty, held it out to me.

I looked at it, and I shook my head.

"No. I am no longer the Protector." I said, and he tipped his head back and howled. So did I, and I smiled.

"Sir, this is Lady Polly, who came into Narnia on the First Day as well, when Aslan, made the trees grow, and the Beasts, to speak." Peter said, and the king bowed his head to her.

"And this is the great Lord Digory, who was with her on that day. And this is my brother Edmund. Silver, all of our Protectors, his sworn one alone, and this my sister Lucy."

Peter said.

"Sire," He said, when he had greeted all of these people around him now,

"if I have read the chronicles aright, there should be one other queen. Has not your Majesty two sisters? Where is Queen Susan?" The king asked.

"My sister Susan," answered Peter gravely, and I looked at him, and he nodded at me, "is no longer a friend, of Narnia." He said.

"Yes," said Eustace,

"and whenever you have tried to constantly, come and get her to talk about Narnia, or do anything of Narnia, she says 'What wonderful memories you have! Fancy you are all, still thinking about all of those funny games, that we used to play when we were still children.'"

"Oh Susan!" said Jill. "She's interested in nothing nowadays except nylons as she is lipstick, and invitations. Always was a jolly sight too keen on being grown-up." She said.

"Grown-up indeed," said Lady Polly.

"I wish she would grow up. She wasted a good part or all of her school time, she was wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste the rest of her life now trying to stay there."

Polly said.

"Well don't let's talk about that now."

I said, at the same time as Peter, and he nodded at me to continue, like we had used to.

"Look! Here are lovely fruit trees. Let us all taste them now."

I said, and we all smiled, and Darren followed me, looking shocked at all of the royals around him.

"You know every royal here."

He said, and I looked at him, and sighed. "Darren, I have lived for over two thousand years in your time."

I said, and he looked at me. "Which one do you know the best?" He asked, and I looked at him.

"Pete, Lu, and Ed." I said, and he looked at me. "You know them by their nicknames?"

He asked, and I looked at him.

"I'm practically their family." I said.

"She isn't practically our family, she is family now." Edmund said, and Peter nodded at his words, and I ate a single orange only, looking around.

"Do you guys think... that this could be, Aslan's country?" I asked them, and they stopped quickly and thought about it for a few moments.

"You are correct, young wolf." A familiar voice said, and I smiled, and turned to see Aslan standing there.

"Aslan!" Lucy said, and I smiled at her.

"Aslan." I said, and Peter and Edmund, both just nodded slightly to him. "Hello Aslan."

Digory said, his eyes wide.

"Lord Digory. Lady Polly." The lion said, and purred, and I saw that we were truly half still in the barn.

"The dwarves don't see it."

I said as we watched the dwarves bickering at each other, over what they thought was food, was actually just donkey shit.

"Could you make them see it Aslan?" I heard Lucy ask, and I looked at Aslan, who sighed.

"No I can not dear one. No one can make another person believe in any object, thing, or person. Not even I have that power." Aslan said.
