My first fic for The Chronicles of Narnia!
I know that I was in the middle of my Peter Pan fic, but i've lost all drive for that so I might not even finish it.
This is based off of my own OC and Edmund Pevensie :)
I hope you enjoy!
Caspian was more or less like a brother to her, but he was less teasing then a brother would be to a younger sister, he never poked or prodded at how she acted if only to discipline her. He was also like a father to her in a certain way, he looked out for her and comforted her when she was lonely, he helped her to get along with the men on the ship and kept a close eye on the crew`s approaches towards her.
To put it frankly, they had an understanding of each other's boundaries and did nothing to cross them, only stepping where the other was allowed.
Rian was a girl of no older then 15, or at least that was what Caspian had guessed judging by her height and size in other, more satisfactory, areas. Caspian had collected, or saved as she had preferred, her from a slave trader in the far island of Murico, he had been there to perform so worldly duties no doubt.
She was a girl of average height with long flowing black hair which reached almost to the small of her back, her hair was wavy and crusted with salt, but it never made her look any less attractive. She had a wild beauty to her, which fitted her wild personality perfectly, along with her long, tan legs and her slim figure. Caspian, King of Narnia, Lord of Cair Paravel, and Emperor of the Lone Islands and whichever else title he cared to befit to himself, was a young king. He was a kind man with a gentle heart who had trained Rian well in swordsmanship as well as the proper duties of a man on a great ship.
Rian spent days on the Dawn Treader doing the jobs of a man, sometimes sparring with Caspian or Tulio, one of the younger men on the ship, as well as reading or carving pictures into the walls of her cabin. She had taken over Caspian's cabin when he saved her, and she wore his older clothing tied tight around her, showing off her tasteful figure.
But as the ship glided through the oceans on a bright day, Rian had pronounced herself to be stomach sick and after much fussing by Caspian proceeded to lie in her cabins and wait for to next day.
Rian had made herself a habit of faking sick, and as the only female aboard the Dawn Treader she could easily fake it to be almost anything and she would get away with it, as most of them men aboard the ship did not know what illnesses could befall a young woman.
As the ship rolled over the waves, Rian took a look out of her porthole and spotted something entirely peculiar floating, no sinking, in the water. As any curious teenager would she opened the porthole and reached her head out, only to spot two, no three, a third had appeared out of the ocean, children bobbing around in the waves. They looked to be screaming, but the sound of the waves had overpowered their voices and nothing could be heard.
Rian acted immediately as her years on the oceans had taught her to, she jumped back from the porthole, slamming it shut, quickly pulling her clothing back on, leaving her hair flying back from her hair as she flew out of the door, running directly into Caspian. By now Rian was in a state of panic and screamed at Caspian
"Quick! You must act fast; there are children in...in the water, they're in the water and I think they're going to die! Caspian please!"
He acted immediatly, yelling at his men to stop the ship as he and a two other men dove off the bow, and swam towards the children with strong, sweeping strokes. Rian admired Caspian's bravery as she always did, he was one to act rationally but also with thought, he cared about all of his people and he wore his kindness well.
Caspian and the men were successful as always, and Rian got her first glimpse of the children. For starters, the girl that had appeared with Caspian was not a child, and seemed to be around her own age. She was a lovely looking girl with chestnut hair and a bright smile plastered on her face, contrasting strangely with her shivering body and soaked clothing. Rian was called over to a younger boy who had arrived after the girl and another man that had appeared shortly after the girl named Lucy, who she had only seen from behind. The boy she had been called over to was shivering violently as well and was shouting strange things at us, things about how animals were not allowed to talk and about a place called England, which she had heard a few stories about from Caspian long, long ago.
She had calmed down the boy, telling him that he was confused and tired, possibly feeling the after effects of almost drowning. She had wrapped a blanket around him and brushed the hair back from his forehead, laughing to herself at the strange expression that had been plastered on his face since he had arrived.
"You shouldn't give a fuck about him, he's a stupid little git y'know".
Rian was angered by that comment of course and swung around with a long line of distasteful words on her tongue, but they were lost when she got a good look at the grin the man she had turned to face, had. He looked no older than 17 years of age, and his hair fell into his eyes, in a playful kind of way, he was only slightly taller than her and had the most amazing green eyes she had ever seen, she was awestruck at how lovely he looked, disbelief came over her as she wondered how such awful words could have come from his mouth.
"Excuse me? I'd take it a lot nicer if you'd stop staring at with that dumb look on your face"
The boy had followed this sentence with a statement that was even more condescending and completely embarrassing then the first, which caused a complete out roar from Caspian.
"Stupid girl, why are you even here".
