Edmund sighed as he made his way back into the treasure chamber for the Queens of Earth. When he walked up to the door he looked up, reading the sign hanging above him.

Long May the Queens of Earth Reign.

He smiled as he read the words, thinking about how it said something similar above the doorway of the room dedicated to him and his siblings. Though that sign read:

Long Live the Kings and Queens of Old.

He then made his way through the large iron doors and into the room. He finished changing clothes first, so he was killing time. He once again walked over to Abby's chest. He placed some of her clothes and most special belongings in his bag. He did the same with Anna and Sydni's things. Hoping to make them happy and more comfortable when they arrived.

After packing his bag, he still had some time to kill; seeing as Susan and Lucy were both busy fixing their hair. So he occupied himself by looking through Abby's chest, smiling at the memories that filled his mind.

"I'm going to go look at the ruins of the throne room." Abby said.

"Alright." Sydni replied. "I want to look over the balcony at the beach."

"I'll come with you." Anna said.

"Meet back here in a few?"

"Sure." Abby said with a smile.

Abby then excitedly made her way over to the throne room, (or what was the throne room at least.) She stopped dead the second she saw it. Her eyes shone brightly as she smiled widely. Then she quickly ran over to where the four thrones once stood.

She closed her eyes, taking everything in. She remembered standing in the same place only a year ago - a year ago her time that is. Now it was just a large stone platform, with small pieces from each throne remaining. In Narnian years, all this happened 1300 years ago. Though for her, it felt like yesterday, as well as forever ago.

She slowly turned her head to the right, where Edmund's throne should have been. Instead she only saw the mere remains, some large pieces of stone. She then slowly made her way towards the would-be throne, taking a deep breath as she stood in front of it.

So many emotions flooded her mind, trying to escape through her eyes. But as always she gave them no leaveway.

She felt happy, sad, in love, and nostalgic. The happiness was because she was back in Narnia, now she was at the most special place of all.

Though she was also sad, seeing the place that meant so much to her completely in ruins, completely shattered her heart.

The love was because of Edmund. Simple as that. This place had Edmund written all over it, and she was utterly and completely in love with him. She had been for years.

The nostalgia, was possibly the most difficult of all. This place had so much sentimental value. The place where Abby and Edmund had their first true moment together.

She remembered it like it was yesterday, though it also somehow felt like it was one hundred years ago.

Anna and Sydni rushed to Lucy's throne while Abby was already at Edmunds.

She slowly ran her fingers across it taking in every detail. She then looked at the top and admired the engraving of Edmund smashing Jadis' wand.
Abby smiled at Edmunds biggest accomplishment (as he had told her earlier.)
