Hello, I would like to say to get the legal stuff out of the way, that I do not own any of the Chronicles of Narnia or any of the actors who participated in the productions. Ok, well I guess we should just get to the story. I hope everyone likes it. Oh, and whoever reviews will get a preview to the next chapter! Well, enjoy!
Before the fulfillment of the prophecy of the two sons of Adam and the two daughters of Eve. When the White Witch had just begun her rule, she imprisoned the four princesses of Narnia in a magical ice spell that made them sleep throughout the rein of the Witch's rule. If she hadn't then her plan would have been foiled long ago. For each of the princesses was key to the elements of Narnia: water, fire, earth, and air.
And each princess cared for the creatures that fell under their element. Water ruled over the ocean creatures such as fish, crabs, and other creatures. Earth ruled creatures that roamed the forests like the squirrels and rabbits. Air was in control of the creatures of the sky as in the birds. And finally fire was had the responsibility of the unique creatures of Narnia such as the centaurs, fauns, dragons, griffins, and many other creatures. And when the four were together with the stones they were given at birth there was harmony within all creatures.
When the Witch encased the four princesses, she gained control of all the creatures of the wood, ocean, and sky. But when she was finally defeated the Four were released and peace was restored thanks to the four Kings and Queens. But now the High King must choose a queen and he must choose from one of the Four.
"Peter, are you listening?" Susan scolded her older brother. Peter rolled his eyes where Susan, who was beside him, couldn't see him but Lucy, who sat in facing him, could and he received a giggle from the youngest Pevensie sibling.
"Of course, sister," Peter said sarcastically as he continued to look out the window of the coach they were riding in. Susan sighed heavily and Edmund and Lucy grinned at each other.
Susan touched Peter's shoulder to get his attention. Peter turned reluctantly. "Peter, take this seriously," Susan continued but Peter began to speak again.
"How am I supposed to not to take this seriously? I'm the one who has to get married," he shot back at her.
"I don't understand why Aslan would ask you to pick one of these girls?" Lucy voiced into the argument, mostly to herself.
Edmund, who was seated in front of Susan and beside Lucy, chuckled as Peter turned back to staring out the window. "Do you even remember their names?" Susan questioned.
Peter answered her without hesitation, "Gabriella, Serena, Marina, and Ember."
Edmund laughed out loud, "You've quizzed him everyday on their names how could he forget?" the he turned to his brother, "I don't see what you problem is, Peter, all I've heard anyone say about them is they're all very pretty."
Peter sighed and turned to look back at his siblings who were all giving him curious looks all wondering the same thing that Edmund had voiced. "It's not that I have anything against marrying one of them it's just that I don't like being forced to marry someone I don't even know," Peter answered.
Lucy placed a comforting hand over her brother's hand, "Maybe you'll be able to find one who has a lot of things in common with you," she suggested optimistically and smiling. Peter smiled back at her.
"That or find the one who doesn't say much," Edmund suggested and sent the rest of his siblings laughing. Suddenly, their carriage came to an abrupt stop and their guard, the centaur Oreius, stopped by the cariage window beside Peter and Lucy.
"Your Majesties," he said bowing slightly, "We have received word that Prince Alexander is on his way and will arrive shortly to join us," he explained.
Pete nodded, "Thank you Oreius." The centaur nodded then disappeared again.
Lucy craned her head to look at the window, "I never realized how far east they lived, they're not that far from us are they?" she asked.
Susan shook her head, "Just a day."
The family lapsed into silence until Peter broke it, "I say we stretch our legs before we go on," he said as he opened the door to the carriage and stepped out.
Lucy grinned eagerly as she followed behind him immediately and the others followed suit. Outside, the sun was shining and birds were chirping. They were on the road next to a large meadow with a small stream running through it. In the distance, Peter and Edmund both thought they could see what resembled a castle but they were too far away to tell.
"Lucy, where is Mr. Tumnus and the Beavers?" Susan asked.
Lucy stood looking at the small steam, "I believe they're at the princesses castle, at least they should be by now," she answered.
Suddenly, the sound of horse's hooves sounded into the air. The royal family looked up and saw a rider on a chestnut colored horse and a centaur whose horse half was pure silver.
Without thinking, Peter and Edmund's hands went to their swords but they did not draw their weapons. The riding pair soon drew nearer and when they were close enough the small party could tell the rider on the horse was a young man. He and the centaur stopped on front of the royal family and the man bowed deeply.
He had short red hair and a sword hanging on his belt. he was wearing dark brown pants and a dark green tunic. "Your Majesties," he greeted as he straightened himself up and revealed two emerald green eyes.
"I am Prince Alexander."
