I did not pack dresses so Emma and Lucy had to wear the same clothing as the men and of course, it was the same for Edmund.

We take the siblings to the meeting room where the weapons were kept. Caspian opens the double doors and all of us went inside behind him.

The kings' and queens' weapons were displayed close to the walls of the room and some were in cases.

"Aslan." Lucy looks at the carving of Father's face on the wall and reaches out to touch it. Caspian smiles at her and I gaze at Father's face. Whenever I see Father, I feel that he is here to look out for me, Caspian and the crew.

"Look, Susan's bow and arrows," Emma looks at Susan's weapons.

"Lucy." Caspian calls out to her and Lucy turns. Caspian holds out her dagger and healing cordial that we're laid nicely in a little box.

Lucy beams when she sees it. "My healing cordial, and dagger." She reaches out to take it but stops. "Oh may I?" She asks both of us.

"Of course, they're yours," I tell her. She takes out and puts it on herself.

"Peter's sword." Edmund sees it in the case.

"Yes. Looked after it as promised," Caspian says and takes the sword off the shelf and holds out to Edmund. "Here, hold it if you wish."

"Oh no, it's yours. Peter gave it to you," Edmund said.

"We did save this for you though," I walk to the shelf, open the door and take out his torch. I show it to him, toss it and he catches it.

"Thanks," Edmund thanks me and turns it on, blinding him for a split of a second.

"So what's bring you both out on the waters?" Emma asks. Adrian gives her own sword to her.

"Better to show you," I say.

"I'll get Drinian," Adrian leaves the room to fetch for him.

I take out the map of Narnia and at the same time, Adrian and Drinian walk inside.

"Emma, Edmund, Lucy, this is Drinian, captain of our ship," I introduce him to them.

"Your Majesties," Drinian bows to them and they nod at him in acknowledgement. "Ever since you left, the giants of the North surrendered unconditionally. Then we defeated the Calormen at the Great Desert," I point to all the places on the map that we marked off. "There's peace across all of Narnia."

"Peace?" Edmund says shockingly but impressed and I nod at him. "In just three years."

"And have you found yourself a queen in those three years?" Lucy asks Caspian and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. I was confused. Since when did Lucy become like this?

Caspian smiles and replies, "No. Not one to compare with your sister, Susan."

"Hang on. So if there's no wars to fight and no one is in trouble, then why are we here?" Edmund asks.

"That's a good question. I've been asking myself the same thing," Caspian responds.

"So where are we sailing to?" Emma asks.

"Before I took the throne back from my uncle, he tried to kill my father's closest friends and most loyal supporters--the seven Lords of Telmar." Caspian turns around to face the wall, there were drawings of the seven lords. "They've fled to the Lone Islands. No one has heard from since."

"So you think something has happened to them?" Edmund asks out loud. "Not if it has. It's our duty to find out," Adrian says.

"Well whats east of the Lone Islands?" Lucy rubs her hand over the Lone Islands on the map.
