'Alexa! Alexa, wake up!' Gaels voice spoke as I got shaken awake, 'Look!' There I saw, 'The Blue Star! Everybody!' I called them all awake.
'What? What is it?' Reep shouts as he jumps awake.
'Everybody, wake up!' I yelled out again, 'It's the Blue Star!'
'Come on, old boy, wake up', Reep says, nudging Eustace.
I stand on a balcony in my room when I see a dryad swimming under me. It waves to get my attention, I smile at her and wave back until I see the dyad mouthing 'No stop.' I move to go back inside to Geal, when the ship hits something. We both stumble and fall because of force of the impact.
We run outside to see Eustace pulling the boat, causing it to go a lot faster than it would've without this weather without wind. The crew applauds. After this Peter, Caspian and I go back inside, to the map room. Caspian picks up one of the lords swords from the table as Peter wraps his arm around me.
'We can't be sure the other lords even made it to Ramandu's Island', I'm not sure of Caspian is talking to us in this moment, or himself.
We get on boats to go ashore, once arrived there we scout the island. It reminds me of the ruins of what was once a beautiul garden, now dark and possibly dangerous. We walk over a bridge and suddenly there is a table, no one sits at it, yet there is enough plates, cups and food to feed the lot of us. Caspian, Peter and I walk to the head of the table. There is something in the plants... people. All of us raise our blades.
'Lord Revilian', Caspian recognizes, 'Lord Mavramorn. Lord Argoz.' I reach out to move away the hair in his face, but scare away when we see that, 'He's breathing.'
'So are they', Peter tells us about the others, 'They're under a spell.'
'It's the food!' Caspian yells out.
'Huh?' Tavros hastily drops the food he had in hands
'Hey. It's the stone knife', Peter notices, 'This is Aslan's table.'
'Their swords. On the table', we all do this.
'That's six', Peter notes.
'Still missing one', Caspian concludes.
The swords start to glow blue, we look up in the direction of the beam of blue light to see the star comes down from heaven, revealing a woman in blue light.
'Look!' I call out.
'Travelers of Narnia...' the blue star speaks, 'welcome.'
the crewmen bow before her, in a gesture of respect.
'Arise', she says kindly, 'Are you not hungry?'
'Who are you?' Peter questions.
'I'm Liliandil, daughter of Ramandu. I am your guide.'
'You're a star?' Caspian breathes, 'You are most beautiful.'
'If it is a distraction for you, I can change form', she opts.
'No!' - 'No!' Caspian and Peter both object at the same time. I sideglance my husband, a little jealous over him looking at the blue star like that.
'Please. The food is for you', she raises her arm and the candles go on, 'There is enough for all who are welcome at Aslan's table. Always. Help yourselves.'
The men hesitantly reach for the food.
'Wait', Peters voice stops them, 'What happened to them?'
'These poor men were half-mad by the time they reached our shores', Liliandil states softly, 'They were threatening violence upon each other. Violence is forbidden at the table of Aslan. So they were sent to sleep.'
'Will they ever wake?' I ask.
'When all is put right', she tells me with a smile, 'Come... there is little time.'
She walks away, the three of us follow. she walks through and around trees until she reaches what looks like a balcony. 'The magician, Coriakin, told you of Dark Island?'
'Yes', Caspian answers.
'Before long, the evil will be unstoppable', Liliandil states lowly.
'Coriakin said to break its spell, we lay the seven swords at Aslan's table', Caspian informs her.
'He speaks the truth', she tells him.
'But we only found six', Peter objects, 'Do you know where the seventh is?'
'In there', she points to a dark island is that isvisible in the near distance, 'You will need great courage. Now, waste no time.'
'I hope we meet again', Caspian states, a little sheepishly.
'Goodbye', she smiles. With that her body turns into a star once again and flies into the sky.
All of us are back on the ship and sailing towards the island surround by dark mist. We all stand in silence until Tavros asked: 'So, what do you think is in there?'
'Our worst nightmares', Peter says grimly squeezing my hand.
'Our darkest wishes', Caspian adds.
'Pure evil', Drinian finishes, 'Tavros, unlock the armory.'
'My lord', He bows before walking away.
'Archers, prepare yourselves', Drinian orders.
'Aye, Captain', the crewmen say.
'Light the lanterns', Tavros calls out.
'Let's get ready', Caspian tells us.
I go to my room to get ready, meanwhile Gael sits on the bed. I, put my hear in a ponytail while looking in the mirror.
'When I grow up, I want to be just like you', Gael tells me.
I smile as I turn and sit next to her, 'When you grow up... You should be just like you.' I wrap my arm around her and she leans into me.
After I got ready, I go to Peter and Caspian who are in the map room preparing their armor, I help Peter putting on his.
'In case we don't get through whatever this is...' Caspian speaks lowly, 'I want you to know I think of you as my brother, Peter.'
'Me too.' Peter tells him.
'And Alexa, you are like the sister I never had.' I smile at him and go to hug him.
'You gave up your sword', Caspian notes to Peter after we get home.
'It wasn't mine to keep', Peter tells him.
This reminds me... I walk to the closet and take out Peters sword.
'Here', I say as I tie the sword to his belt.
'Thanks, love', Peter smiles as he strokes my cheek. I lean into his hand and smile back.
'One day I hope I may find a queen, who will love me as you love Peter', Caspian tells me, causing me to blush. At this sight Caspian chuckles slightly as Peter smiles again.
