Author Note: Hello and A very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Yes we have finally made it to a new year 2009! Its a new start and a new life hopefully and you know what else thats means? A NEW story as well! Claps! I know its amazing, I have been through so much last year (wow It sounds strange) and now we have entered another and I only have God to thank for that because it is not by my own will that I have lived to see a new year. I am so happy and priveleged to be seeing a new year and I am happy that you all get to see it as well. So many things have occured last year both positive and negative and I have have lived to tell the story and I just want to say I am grateful for it. This is the start of a new year and I new time in life. Well I know I took down my last story as some of you know was called "The Sunlight after the Storm" but don't feel angry or bad because I did that. I just felt that I wasnt doing the right thing and maybe my story wasnt exactly as good as I imagined it to be so I apologize for it being boring and taking it down though I will miss it alot. But cheer up because there is a new story and hopefully you will like it as much or more than you did the last and I EXPECT good comments and reviews whether they be good or bad as I will be grateful for them and appreciate every single one. So to stop myself from giving anything away I am here to introduce my brand new story titled...you read it when you scroll down alright. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Narnia or anything of C.S Lewis because he came up with everything and Im just writing a story based on his great work. Though I do own Veronica because I created her.
My Interview with A King: Take One
"The V Williams show about to air in five, four, three, two....go!"
(Camera turns on to reveal a woman sitting on a chair)
"Hello, Happy New Year to you all in the whole United States and around the globe! I am Veronica Williams and welcome to my show, "V Williams" and I am so happy to be ringing in the new year 2009 with a whole new television show and a studio filled with an audience,"
(Fake audience cheers, Camera cues to Veronica who is a tall, fair skinned woman with long and straight black hair sitting in chair with a microphone in hand. There is another seat right in front of her)
"I have some much in store for you today and I also all have a big surprise for you all. I am currently recording this episode because I am not in New York right now. I am somewhere outside of the U.S. and it may not even be on the map,"
"Okay I'll tell the truth, I am broadcasting live from the world of Narnia,"
(Audience gasps while some asks "What?")
"Yes is unbelievable but I am telling you this place is beautiful! Its so amazing you have to be here for yourself. Not too long ago did I come from this wonderful place called "Aslan's How,"
(Audience "oohs and aahs")
"Yes it is a large temple that was built over the exact area where the majestic lion, also known as Aslan the creator of Narnia was crucified and put to death by the evil white witch, Jadis on the stone table,"
(Audience gasp and some boo)
"Aslan then freed himself when he broke the stone table in two resurrecting three days later. I am so sorry I didn't get to put this on camera. But no type of technological devices are allowed inside this very sacred building."
(Audience sounds disappointed)
"I know I know but I couldn't do any better sorry. But that is not the real reason why I am came here today. As you are about to see I am currently sitting in a courtyard of this beautiful castle,"
(Audience oohs and aahhs)
"And cameras if you please, just show our audience how lovely this castle is,"
(Camera then cues upwards to show the castle over 200 feet high covered with beige walls and several balconies and stairs going up and down)
"Take a look at those castle doors over there, and that large gate that leads to the entrance and exit of the castle,"
(Camera cues to gate and audience gasps again)
"This is one beautiful castle and I wish I could have given you all a tour of everywhere but unfortunately we are only allowed inside because of the interview and the castle guards are keeping stern eyes over it,"
(Camera shows large creatures like bulls with white horns who carried ax weapons around. There are about five of them at the castle gate walking back and forth)
"Those are the guards, they are known as the "Minotaurs"," Veronica whispered to the camera
(Camera then cues back to Veronica who stares at the minotaurs cautiously before she looks into the camera again)
"Oh.."
(Clears throat)
"Yes and back to the subject, like I said before that this is the castle where I will be interviewing a very special person. Before we bring this person out you all might remember or atleast heard of him. The person was born as a Telmarine prince who ran from his own home in order to save his life and called on the young kings and queens of old to help him defeat his evil uncle and his army and regain the right to his throne. He is now king of Narnia at the subtle age of 18 years old can you believe it?"
(Audience "Oohs and Ahhs")
"Ladies and Gentlemen this is one person who has helped save and change history for a nation and whose life story will be carried on from generation to generation and I am one of the honored people who get to take part in this special moment in history. Everyone at home I would like for you to clap your hands for and meet this special person. I introduce you to the loyal, respectful, intelligent, and royal, the one and only…King Caspian X!"
(Audience cheers and applauds)
"I'm so excited!" Veronica squeals
( The camera cues to the castle doors when a centaur suddenly blows a horn when the castle doors slowly open to reveal a tall, slim figure with long black hair and tanned skin wearing a light blue blouse with an stiff open collar and black trousers)
"Now those who are watching this at home, please welcome the king with a bow," Veronica said as she bowed
(As King Caspian walked through the door, he saw Veronica and pleasantly smiled)
"Good Evening, your highness King Caspian the Tenth, I am Veronica Williams," Veronica said after she bowed and stood upright. King Caspian approached her and nodded his head.
"Hello, pleased to meet you Lady Verounika, welcome to my castle" replied Caspian with his deep spanish accent which pronouced the name "Veronica" like it was a spanish name. He then took her hand and slightly kissed it which shocked Veronica when she pulled her hand away.
"Um...thank you it is an big honor to meet you, please take a seat," Veronica replied nervously when she motioned him to sit in the chair in front of her.
(The audience still cheered when Veronica slowly turned around made the silence signal. Veronica then sat down in her chair and crossed her legs when the cameraman gave her the mic and a small notecard)
"Well, how are you today King Caspian?" Veronica asked
"I am doing very well thank you, and how, might you be my lady?" Caspian asked
"Well I am doing good as well, thank you," Veronica replied as she bowed her head
"Please no need to bow again, and only refer to me as Caspian, King Caspian is only used formally," Caspian replied
"Oh... okay, um as you know I am here today because I will be asking you a couple of questions about yourself, is that alright?" Veronica said
"Oh absolutely, I love questions I ask them all the time especially when I want to know something interesting," Caspian replied
(There is fake giggles from inside camera)
"What was that noise?" Caspian asked
"What noise?" asked Veronica
"I heard like laughing," Caspian said
"Oh that is just the camera filming this interview, and the laughing wasn't real it's all made up," Veronica replied when Caspian looked curious and confused
"A camera? What is that?" Caspian asked when he noticed the strange squared object stare him in the face and seemed to look like a mirror with eyes.
"Don't worry they do no harm, they are just a way of capturing important moments such as this and showing it to people of my home,"
"Oh, does it talk?" Caspian asked
"No... no it doesn't..um it just stands there and films us,"
"Oh, interesting, never heard of such inventions like this before," Caspian replied eyeing the camera curiously unaware it was zooming in on his face.
"Alright, well if you don't mind, I would like to ask my first question will be about you. How is it to be a king such a large nation while still being as young as you are?" Veronica asked
"Hmm, well I find being a king a very important responsibility and commitment and everyday I take the time to appreciate how blessed I am to have become a king of Narnia when so many rulers have come and gone before me and the part about me being young is now much accepted by my fellow Narnians as they see that Narnia was in need of a new king and whether or not I was young was not the reason I have been chosen," Caspian replied
"Well I have heard many good things about you and the fact that you are a great king," Veronica replied
"Thank you lady Verounika," Caspian said
"Oh, no need to call me Lady Veronica, just Veronica is alright for me," she said
"Very well Verounika, I have never heard such a beautiful name before, where does it come from?" Caspian asked
(Camera cues to show Veronica with a red face when she realizes it and turns away)
"Um...it's American and thank you very much," Veronica replied
"Really, what is Am-er-I-kan?" Caspian asked
"Oh, well its from the country where I come from, America that is where I live," Veronica replied
"Oh...you mean you don't live in Narnia?" Caspian asked curiously
"No...I am from America very far from Narnia," Veronica said as Caspian stared curious
"Tell me more of this Amerika," Caspian replied
"Oh you want to know more about America?" Veronica asked
"Oh course, it is nice to know about different countries, or different worlds," said Caspian
"Yes I know it is really nice and your country here is beautiful as well," replied Veronica
"Why thank you, I was born and raised here where my father, grandfather, great-grandfather have lived and rule for many years," said Caspian.
"Wow...very interesting," Veronica replied who looked dazed when she snapped out of it," Well um, its a beautiful country anyway...I think its time I ask you the next question,"
"Very well, what is it?" Caspian asked
"Um..." Veronica said rummaging through her notecards," Okay here it is...what do you love most about being a king?"
"Well...practically everything, I love my people and they do in return and it is a wonderful feeling to wake up every morning and know that you have such great people on your side who as a nation look up to you and admire you and though it scares me a little that I rule alone, there is nothing more greater," said Caspian in a wise manner.
"Wow...I can see why they love you so much ," Veronica replied
"Oh what was that?" Caspian asked hearing her mumble.
"Oh...nothing, I was just...um...nevermind that, I was um...thinking, but anyway you are doing very well with these questions and I don't want to pressure you into speaking too much,"
"Nonsense, it is alright, I am a curious man myself ask me more," Caspian replied
"I would love to but right now we have to go on a short commercial break and we will be right back after these messages," Veronica replied
"Oh what is a commer-cial?" Caspian asked curiously
"Oh I forgot Narnia is different from America but I will let you know during the break alright?" said Veronica
(Cut to commercial)
