The Chronicles of Narnia: Cianna, The Pevesies, and Cara Paraviel

Chapter thirteen Caitlin

It had been three days since Edmund died. The castle was very dreary. Even Cianna could not smile. But that day the Royal New Bringer came to ask Cianna some questions. "Lady Cianna, I see you're wearing something out of the ordinary, where are you going? Are you going to seek revenge?" he asked.

"No I..."

"Lady Cianna. Pray tell, what ARE you going to do?" another person asked. "I um..." Cianna tried to say. Several other questions were asked. "Lady Cianna, where are you going? We have to know!" a person asked. "The window!" Cianna said rushed. She quickly sprinted and jumped out of the window doing a flip and landing on her horse. "How did she do that and not break anything?" the Messenger asked.

That night a few witnesses were called in the Throne Room. "So what happened to Lady Cianna?" Peter asked concerned. "Sire... We asked her a few questions and then she sprinted towards the window, jumped out, and landed on her horse." a man said. "Oh no... This is will not go well I feel. First Edmund's body goes missing, then Cianna runs off... What is going on?" Susan asked. Peter turned to the guards. "Tell everyone to keep their eye out for her. And if something bad happens. They really must tell us..." Peter ordered.

***

Cianna's lip trembled. She was frightened. She was in Narnia all alone... With no one to help her besides herself. "Buttercup, let's take a rest." Cianna said to her now mute horse; "You can graze that pasture over there while I start the fire." Buttercup galloped off to the pasture. "Hello, Caitlin..." a voice said. Cianna's head whipped up as she drew her sword. "What?" she asked. "You are... Caitlin... That is the name of which you are known by my people... It means ... Water..." The Voice responded. "Show yourself!" Cianna demanded. "In time perhaps... But for now, Caitlin, you're coming with me!" Before Cianna could react, she was hit on the head.

***

"Welcome to your new home, Caitlin... I hope you like it here..." The Voice said. "What magic where you talking about?" Cianna asked. "I need your magic to make my plan work... All I need from you... Is one tiny drop of blood..." the voice said eerily. Cianna's eyes widened. "Guards... Get that blood for me... Only one drop! Understood?" The Voice said harshly. "Yes ma'am." both the guards said in their gruff voices. They knocked Cianna out. And took the one drop just like The Voice asked.

***

"You sure this will work boss?" a guard asked. "Of course. I am fulfilling my role in the prophecy." The Voice said walking into the light. She was strange. Green skin, yellow eyes, red hair, and her eyes blood red. "Knockout Caitlin... She thinks I'm a villain." Fiara ordered; "Now, Jarka, please hand me the blood. And where is the body?" "It is in the beam of light like you asked, Mother." Jarka responded loyally. "Thank you so much, Dear One!" Fiara replied taking the vial of blood.

***

"The Great King Edmund the Just's body... It was a shame he died. But soon... Soon he will be back. He must fulfill his part of the prophecy. Caitlin and Emrys will soon be rejoined. Then I can leave this world!" Fiara exclaimed. With that, Fiara took the vial of Cianna's blood, and cup of water from the Great Lake, and mixed them together. "Inufonanula sandea hemanfa unkar!" Fiara yelled. (it's really hard to write supposed magic spells without them sounding stupid) Then the potion turned to a powder. "Put the body in the cell with Caitlin." Fiara requested. The guards took Edmund's body and placed in the room with a knocked out Cianna. Fiara followed them. Then she sprinkled the powder onto Edmund. For the first time in four days, Edmund was breathing again. "Cianna!" Edmund exclaimed as he scrambled towards her. "Hello, your Highness." Fiara said bowing. "Hello I guess?" Edmund said; "How am I here? I died. And Cianna?" Then Fiara explained what happened to Edmund in the most gentle way she could.

***

After Fiara explained what happened, she made Edmund and Cianna promise to never tell a soul about what happened that day. "Caitlin..." Fiara said as Cianna and Edmund were heading to Buttercup. "What is it, Fiara?" Cianna asked. Edmund went ahead and went to get Buttercup. "You must learn to harness your power before it harnesses you... Be prepared for the war that lies ahead..." Fiara said wheezing. "Fiara... What does that mean? Are you alright?" Cianna asked concerned. "It is all part of your destiny... I am supposed to die now... And you be careful... When you do what must be done, think... Of... Me... And... Please... F... Forgive me for this." Fiara said just before dying. "Come on, Anna... Let's go home..." Edmund said gently. "You heard?" Cianna asked with her eyes widening. "I wasn't going to mention it... I guess I always knew there was something different about you..." Edmund replied flashing a smile at Cianna. Then the two rode off, talking and laughing, that is until Cianna fell asleep.
