Chapter 1: When Worlds Collide

It's been three years now since I last saw him. I heart felt empty even though I didn't like to show it to anyone. There were only few that understood me. One of them was Caspian, who lost his beloved Susan three years ago. His heart broke and it hasn't been mended ever since, but like me, he's too stubborn and strong to show it to anyone. The second person I can confide in is my mentor, the noblest mouse existing, and my dearest friend, Reepicheep. He was the one who always got my back, giving me advice and helping me through the hard times of heartbreak. Last but not least was Drinian, the captain of the ship. He may seem tough, but he's actually a big cuddly teddy bear.

"Man over board!"

I quickly looked up from my lap. I left my comfortable spot near the edge of the ship where I could see the mermaids swimming. Sometimes I would just watch the shipmates, sometimes I would join them for distraction and sometimes I would sing them songs that I used to sing back home, in the normal world. You see, I was born as a fairy, here in Narnia. My mother gave birth to four children. Each one of them was gifted with one of the four elements. I was the youngest, possessing the most dangerous element. That's all I know.

I heard different voices yelling. First, appeared Caspian with Lucy by his side.

"That was thrilling", Lucy laughed.

"How in the world did you end up here?", Caspian asked throwing a towel around her shoulders.

"I have no idea."

"Lucy!", I said hugging her tightly.

"Daphne"

"Caspian", a very familiar voice said. My heart skipped a beat at the sound of his voice. He couldn't be really back, could he? But there he was. The love of my life was standing right there, next to my brother and he was real.

"Edmund", I said and ran the short distance to him. I held his face in my hands after embracing him. "It's really you", I said and kissed him passionately. How I had missed to kiss those lips. Edmund slipped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to his wet body, making the kiss deeper.

The shipmates began sheering. Edmund and I parted and I shot the crew a smile. Edmund kissed my forehead one more time before placing his arm around my shoulder and walking to Caspian and Lucy.

An unfamiliar boy began to scream.

"Get that thing off me! Get that thing off me!"

"Reep!", I laughed.

"Reepicheep", Lucy said. The noble mouse bowed to Lucy.

"Your majesty."

"Hello Reep. What a pleasure", Edmund said. I looked up at him and smiled.

The unfamiliar boy kept screaming until he passed out.

"By Aslan's mane", I said and quickly kneeled down next to the boy. "Someone take him downstairs. I'll do the rest."

Caspian introduced Lucy and Edmund to the crew.

"Edmund the Just. And Lucy the Valiant. High king and queen of Narnia."

Edmund's face lit up by hearing his title. I chuckled and walked to the two of them.
"Come on", I said taking their hands. "You both could use some dry clothes."

I led Lucy to my room and Edmund to Caspian's room.

"Here are your clothes", I said handing Lucy her clothes over. I walked into Caspian's room to see a half naked Edmund waiting for dry clothes. With his clothes in my right hand I quickly covered my eyes with my left hand.

"Edmund", I said. I heard him chuckle. He took the clothes from my hand and pulled the hand covering my eyes down. He pecked my lips and smiled. I couldn't help but blush.

"I still can't believe your back", I said as he started putting on his shirt.

"Well I think this is enough prove", He said gesturing at himself.

I smiled. "I'll be upstairs."

"Hey", I said leaning on the railing next to Caspian.

"Hey", he said. He looked sad.

"I'm sorry about Susan." I rubbed his back.

He smiled weakly at his feet. "It's okay. I knew she wouldn't return."

Caspian hugged me before heading downstairs.

I settled myself on my own spot again, this time joined by Eustace who had gained his conscious again. We were watching Edmund and Caspian dueling with their swords. They both were having a good time and the duel ended in a tie.

The entire time Eustace was complaining and commenting about Edmund.

"Will you please shut up for once", I spat at him. He looked at me amazed and shut up. Until Lucy and Edmund joined us.

"I see your still talking nonsense, the two of you."

"Are you feeling better?"

"Yes no thank to you."

"No thanks to me", I said raising my eyebrows. He glared at me. Pathetic little boy.

Eustace couldn't shut up again and even Reep noticed how much of a complainer the boy was.

"He's just warming up", Edmund stated, causing me to chuckle. Edmund smiled at me and slipped his arm around my waist pulling me closer.

"Land ho!", one of the shipmates yelled.

I looked at Drinian and he nodded at me. I kissed Edmund's cheek and joined Drinian behind the wheel. I enjoyed the wind blowing though my hair.

"Can I try?", I asked.

"If you like, miss. But I'm warning you. It's very heavy."

I grabbed the wheel in my hands. A sudden wind blew causing the ship deviate to left. "What do you mean it's very….wow!", I said and was pulled along with the wheel. My fall wasn't a very pleasant one. "Ow", I said rubbing my elbow. Drinian helped me up and winked. "I told you miss."

I rolled my eyes.

"Where are we heading captain?", I asked smiling.

"To the Lone Islands."
