Once, there were four children who stood at an underground train station. They had just returned from a land called Narnia but nobody around them was aware that they ever had left. The children thought that their adventure was over. After all, it wa...
It was a quiet day in the countryside of England. All Peter could hear was the clock ticking, tick tock tick tock. But he was thankful for that because he needed the quiet. It was important that he'd get his studying in for his exams.
"Peter." The Professor called out. "You have been working awfully hard. Come take a walk with me." He suggested.
"Thank you, Professor. But I'm not sure I can afford to take a break." Peter sighed.
"Nonsense. Come along now. Mrs. Macready will be joining us as well." The Professor said while gesturing Peter to come along, who reluctantly followed as he had learned that the Professor had rarely ever been wrong.
The air was fresh as Peter, the Professor and Mrs. Macready walked through the countryside. Peter looked up at the sky. "The sky is almost as blue as the northern sky in Narnia". He thought to himself.

He never knew why he was given the Northern Sky by Aslan, but he would never question his judgment. He did always feel connected to the big blue sky even before Narnia. It reminded him of a never ending adventure as the sky never ends. You could travel far and long, but you would always have the beautiful sky right up above you.
They walked past a lake with many boats and Peter admired how peaceful it was. But before he could comment on it, Mrs. Macready spoke up. "Look at these ships. Unfortunately, they won't take you far these days. It is all about taking trains, and cars. I wish we could go back to the simpler times."
Peter wished that too. Even though he knew that he was never to return, he still had hopes that just one day maybe, just maybe, he would find his way back to the Northern Sky, the Southern Sun, the Western Woods and the Eastern Sea.
Later that night, he stayed up studying all night. He felt a wave of frustration hit him. Mrs. Macready came in when she heard him. "I can't do this anymore! It is too stressful and I haven't even gotten through half of it yet!" He said furiously to himself.
Mrs. Macready placed a calming hand on his shoulder. "I know this is hard, dear. I had to do these exams once too, you know? But, do you know what kept me going?"
"What is that?" He asked calmly.
"It was something my father used to tell me." She started. "This old expression he used to use when we would go sail. "'A true captain never abandons his ship'. And with that message in mind, I strived harder and aced my exams."
"A true captain never abandons his ship." He repeated to himself. It reminded him how he used to sail the Narnian seas. "Thank you, Mrs. Macready. I think that will help."
Professor Kirke's caretaker nodded and left. Peter kept the thought in mind as he continued to study until the clock struck twelve.

"Caspian!" Lucy exclaimed as she saw who had come to her rescue as she swam in the great ocean.
"Lucy!" He exclaimed, delighted.
The Crew along with Caspian had jumped into the water when they saw three people swimming. They were curious as to where they had come from, but all was answered when they saw who they were.
"Edmund, it's Caspian!" Lucy tried to inform her brother but the sound of the waves and the screams of Eustace were louder.
They all boarded a very large ship when Lucy asked Caspian if they were in Narnia. "Yes, you're in Narnia." He confirmed, wrapping a towel around her. "How in the world did you end up here?"
"I have no idea!" She replied, just happy to be back in Narnia. It felt really good to see Caspian again after the years.
"Caspian." Edmund called to him.
"Edmund." Caspian said and both of them hugged each other. "It's great to see you."
"It's great to see you too." Edmund replied. "Didn't you call for us?" He asked, referring to how they arrived at Narnia a few years back, when Caspian called for them using Susan's horn.
"No, not this time." Caspian answered.
"Well, whatever the case, I'm just glad to be here." He admitted.
"Get that thing off me!" The three friends were interrupted by Eustace's cries.
"Reepicheep!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Oh, your Majesties." Reepicheep acknowledged.
"Hello, Reep. What a pleasure!" Edmund expressed.
"The pleasure is all mine, sir." He bowed down to the three of them.
Lucy smiled at her old friend.

As the Pevensies changed into dry clothes, an Island at the far end of the Narnian world shook with the shouts from the person inside. "How could you be so stupid?" The voice screamed. "Do you not remember what is at stake here?" It continued. "Or should I remind you?" The person asked, bringing their hands forward.
Seeing the creatures in front of him quiver, he calmed down. A crooked smile spread across his face. "Now, get back to what I told you to do. And be careful this time. Or you would be losing the one thing you want the most."
