Helloo! This is my first Narnia fic. Please Read!

New Lands

1. A Wish Come True

I looked over my people from the royal balcony. It was the 2nd anniversary of my reign. Everybody was so happy. I, myself, couldn't contain my happiness.

Aslan help me, who was I trying to fool? Beneath all this façade, I wasn't happy. Not at all. Everything I had done over the past year had been just my duty to my people. All I wanted was to make them happy.

My advisor, Drinian, hurried me down the stairs, into the main hall. The hall was already crowded. In olden days it would have been filled with people of noble birth and high intellect. But I had changed that. Now, all the talking animals were allowed. Equality and Trust were my special preaching points.

Absentmindedly I smiled to everyone and sat down on my throne. Different beasts came to wish me with presents that were priceless.

'Thank you, noble Fahria,' I broke out of my thoughts to express my gratitude as the centaur gave me a nightglass. It would have fascinated someone I knew but to me it was just a piece of glass that reflected constellations to my bedroom ceiling.

It took two long hours coupled with a couple more for the royal function. People loved me. And I loved them fondly. At the end, Harl, the magician, came forward and asked to wish whatever I fancied. I sighed inwardly. I just wanted one thing but I doubted anybody could give me that. Friends. It had been a year and 54 days since I had seen Edmund, Eustace and Lucy. Maybe Eustace would come again but what if he came when it was too late.

Again I wrenched myself away from my thoughts. I smiled at Harl and said, 'Let Narnia be united and happy.'

The people cheered.

I lay in bed with that horrible feeling of loneliness. Maybe it was because the Daughters of Eve and the Sons of Adam were the only friends I ever had. And there was Susan. I wondered if she still had feelings for me. But whenever I thought of her I felt confused. Did I love her? There were times in which I felt that I never could. There was something mean and fake about her. I smiled a little when I thought what would happen if I told Peter this. He would probably punch my face.

I turned to my other side but it looked like sleep was going to elude me tonight. I turned and open the nightglass. At once my bedroom was filled with stars. I tried to identify Aslan's Mane, the constellation which guided lost souls. Was I a lost soul?

The air was suddenly warm. I turned around instantly and there stood Aslan. I leaped off my bed, first bowed and then rushed to hug him. I smiled a real smile for the first time in weeks. I looked into his honey-brown eyes and felt belonged .

'My King,' he said. 'You have fulfilled your duty well. You are a leader beyond measure.'

I stood proudly and nodded.

'But,' he continued and I frowned, 'you don't seem well at heart. You are restless.'

'Aslan,' I said. 'May I have one wish? As a son?'

Aslan sighed, 'That is an appealing start. So, what do you wish for, my son?'

'Let the others come back.' I gulped. For a whole minute there was complete silence.

'You know that cannot happen, child,' Aslan's tone was soft. My eyes watered but I didn't let the tears come. After all, as a King, I have some pride.

'Please,' I tried again. As he shook his head I started speaking desperately, 'I have to see them. Just once, Aslan.' His eyes ignored me. I hit my bedpost in anger, 'Do you know how it feels to lose everything?'

'Calm down,' Aslan growled.

I sat down on the carpeted floor. When I spoke again my voice was calm, 'I'll do anything. Anything you ask.'

'Well then,' he started, 'as I cannot call them here I will have to send you to them but-'

I stared at him and then burst out laughing. '-but,' he continued, 'you will be tested.'

That stopped me from smiling. 'What do you mean?' I asked, a little worried now.

'Your time there is limited, my sooo-' Aslan's face, my room everything vanished. I fell forward but there was no floor. I kept falling, falling. Then my body hit solid ground.

I opened my eyes and looked around. What I saw was so strange. Black smoke was everywhere. There were hordes of people rushing about. All of them wearing greys and blacks. As I stood up, the whole floor started to tremble. A monster whizzed past me at amazing speed. I quickly backed away. As I saw the monster spit out people from its body.

When my nerves calmed down I heard shouting. Turning around I saw a group of fat boys beating a tall, pale, black haired boy. From what I could see the boy was single-handedly putting up quite a fight. I lunged forward to help.

I had just hit one or two of them when a shrill whistle sounded from somewhere and all the boys ran off. My friend, I call him that because I couldn't think of what to name him at that time, dragged me into a room.

'Thanks, ma-,' he said pulling of his cap. He gasped, 'Caspian?'

I stared at him in disbelief and then hugged him tight, 'Edmund, it's good to see you.' But before he could say anything more I told him of the monster outside.

'Where's it? And how come nobody is screaming?' he asked. I answered, 'I don't know. Things seem to happen differently in your land.'

I took him outside and pointed. Edmund started laughing. He laughed so much that he clutched his sides and toppled over. I looked at the monster again. On second thoughts it looked like a moving house.

A horn sounded and the 'moving house' moved off again making the whole place tremble. 'What's so funny?' I snapped at him.

Edmund stopped laughing. He said, smiling, 'That's a train, Caspian. You are on a railway station.'

'What is a train?' I asked, still not realising what was so funny. When he explained I turned red. 'By Aslan, I am foolish.'

'No, you saw it for the first time. You are not foolish but you need a serious change of clothes. Wait, first things first, what are you doing here?' he asked.

I started to tell but Edmund immediately stopped me, 'Let's go to my house. Lots of people staring at your outfit here. Besides, Lucy would kill me if she came to know that I heard your story first.'
